3.4" Polished Fuchsite Heart - Madagascar
This is a 3.4" wide egg that was formed sculpted and polished from fuchsite chert. It has been polished to a mirror like finish and was mined in Madagascar. The blue-green coloration is wonderful and the flakes of pyrite give the heart a unique sparkle.
About Fuchsite Chert
Fuchsite chert, also commonly referred to as "Dragon Stone", is cryptocrystalline quartz stone metamorphosed from fuchsite. It forms when a fuchsite vein is subjected to intense pressure and dissolution from super hot ground waters, which partially dissolve the fuchsite into a silica solution, forming large boulders. Much of the material retains fuchsite's emerald green coloring, but can also be found in lighter shades of green. Fuchsite, also known as chrome mica, is a chromium-rich variety of the mineral muscovite.
