5.2" Sparkling Green Fuchsite In Quartz - Norway
This is a 5.2" tall section of very sparkly, green fuchsite crystals in quartz from Mt. Gaskabeaivarri in far Northern Norway. It is really spectacular looking material. The piece has been mounted to a small, wooden base for display.
Fuchsite (chromium-rich muscovite) was only recently discovered near Mt. Gaskkabeaivári in the county of Finnmark, Norway within the past five years. It is located within the MQ granite quarry, and produces other specimens of muscovite and quartz.
