A colourful natural Fuchsite with Quartz mineral specimen, weighing approximately 71g.
The specimen displays vivid emerald, turquoise-green and silvery-green colouring with numerous tiny reflective mica flakes that create an attractive shimmering appearance when moved under the light.
Fuchsite is a chromium-rich variety of muscovite mica, with chromium responsible for its characteristic green colouring. This specimen appears to contain fuchsite-rich areas intergrown with paler quartz-rich matrix material, creating considerable natural variation across the piece.

Disclaimer: Gemstone identification is based on visual assessment only, considering colour, pattern, translucency, lustre and other observable characteristics. Stones have not been laboratory tested unless explicitly stated. Whilst every effort has been made to identify each gemstone accurately, identification should be considered our best professional opinion rather than a certified mineralogical determination. Natural gemstones vary in colour, pattern and inclusions, making every piece unique. Metaphysical properties are based on traditional beliefs and are not scientifically proven.
