An attractive natural Fuchsite-rich mica schist specimen, weighing approximately 50g.
This unusual rough specimen displays rich green mineralisation throughout, combined with abundant silvery reflective mica that gives the surface a striking sparkling appearance when moved in the light. Cream-coloured areas and natural rusty orange/brown iron staining create additional contrast across the specimen.
Fuchsite is a chromium-bearing green variety of muscovite mica and characteristically forms in thin, reflective flakes. This specimen has a particularly obvious layered, flaky and micaceous texture, which can be seen around its edges as well as across the broad faces.

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.
