POLISHED GOLDEN AMPHIBOLITE

Golden amphibolite is a visually striking metamorphic rock distinguished by its unique, shimmering golden hues. Composed primarily of hornblende, a type of amphibole, along with other minerals such as feldspar, it gains its distinct coloration from the presence of iron-rich minerals, which lend a metallic sheen to the surface. Golden amphibolite is valued both as a collector’s mineral and as a decorative stone. It can be polished to enhance its golden luster, making it popular for jewelry, carvings, and ornamental use.
