2.3" Polished Fuchsite Sphere - Madagascar

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.
