Polished face Fuchsite | Australian Mineral Specimen

$95.00

Size

Fuchsite is a green, chromium-rich variety of muscovite mica, with a soft shimmer and emerald-to-sage colour. These verdant green specimens come from the Pilbara Region, in Western Australia. Each has a polished face that catches the light and reveals the mineral's natural lustre, while the reverse keeps its raw, unworked character.
