Green Fuchsite from Brazil, black base

It is brightly green, with silver reflections This raw green fuchsite, weighing 4.2 kg, comes from the metamorphic formations of the State of Bahia, in Brazil. Fuchsite, a variety of muscovite, owes its intense green color to the presence of chromium in its structure. Variations in chromium content explain the different shades of green observed, ranging from pale green to a deeper green, as seen in this specimen. The Bahia deposit is renowned for producing fuchsite with a particularly rich green hue, due to the specific geological conditions of the region. This specimen is completely raw, offering a natural texture and appearance.
