Atlantisite, first discovered in Tasmania and sometimes conflated with the different stone Tasmanite, is a natural mineral association of stichtite and serpentine minerals. Serpentine is a brownish-green phyllosilicate mineral named for its coloration's reminiscence of snakes. Stichtite, also discovered in Tasmania, is a bright pinkish-purple mineral named after Robert Carl Sticht, the owner of a nearby copper mine in 1910 when the mineral was formally described.
Atlantisite, named for the mythological greek city of Atlantis, is naturally occurring serpentine with bright stichtite inclusions.
