Stichtite is rare and sought after in the broader international market. Stichtite in combination with green serpentine are only known from Australia, and South Africa in any significant quantities. Alternative sector dubbed the name Atlantisite. This material is light weight, thus polished items give you a beneficial size to weight ratio! Noteworthy is that when polished natural flaws, fissures, or cracks are evident. It is near impossible to get a perfect polish on this material due to its composition and softness!  Toprock gets the rough direct from the mines in Barberton, South Africa. The deposit yields mostly small rough pieces which makes larger pieces rare and collectible.

These treasures are few and far between, predominantly appearing as small-sized specimens, each showcasing varying degrees of crystalline splendour resting on a matrix reminiscent of dolomite. Libethenite, a highly sought-after Copper Phosphate hydroxide mineral, unveils striking dark green orthorhombic crystals that immediately captivate the eye. This remarkable mineral found its origins back in 1823 in Ľubietová, Slovakia, acquiring its name from the German name of that locality, Libethen. Known for its formation in the oxidized zones of Copper ore deposits, Libethenite emerges as a secondary Copper Phosphate mineral, often deriving its phosphate content from the weathering of Apatite and other phosphates like Monazite and Xenotime. From the depths of the Congo, this mineral reveals itself sporadically, showcasing its exceptional rarity and becoming an incredibly prized collectible. Each specimen possesses an extraordinary array of orthorhombic crystal clusters, presenting a stunning visual treat for enthusiasts and collectors alike.

This material is exceptionally rare, with only a few kilograms becoming available on an irregular basis. It typically exhibits a fairly dark blue colour, which can appear almost black in the absence of adequate lighting. This unique and collectible gem offers a fascinating addition to any collection. Cordierite, named after Pierre Louis Antoine Cordier, a French mining engineer and geologist, who was the first to study this mineral, displays a wide range of colours, including grey, blue, blue-violet, greenish, yellowish brown, and colourless, often appearing noticeably light blue in transmitted light. The most sought-after and collectible variety is the gemmy blue, often referred to as Iolite. Iolite, frequently used as a gemstone, derives its name from the Greek word for violet. Cordierite has also been known as \"dichroite,\" a Greek term meaning \"two-coloured rock,\" highlighting its remarkable pleochroism. It has earned the monikers \"water-sapphire\" and \"Vikings' Compass\" due to its practical use in determining the direction of the sun on overcast days, a skill employed by the Vikings.

This material is exceptionally rare, with only a few kilograms becoming available on an irregular basis. It typically exhibits a fairly dark blue colour, which can appear almost black in the absence of adequate lighting. This unique and collectible gem offers a fascinating addition to any collection. Cordierite, named after Pierre Louis Antoine Cordier, a French mining engineer and geologist, who was the first to study this mineral, displays a wide range of colours, including grey, blue, blue-violet, greenish, yellowish brown, and colourless, often appearing noticeably light blue in transmitted light. The most sought-after and collectible variety is the gemmy blue, often referred to as Iolite. Iolite, frequently used as a gemstone, derives its name from the Greek word for violet. Cordierite has also been known as \"dichroite,\" a Greek term meaning \"two-coloured rock,\" highlighting its remarkable pleochroism. It has earned the monikers \"water-sapphire\" and \"Vikings' Compass\" due to its practical use in determining the direction of the sun on overcast days, a skill employed by the Vikings. This Cordierite hails from Ambatofinandrahana, Madagascar, offering a unique piece of geological history. Price is grade dependant.

Lab testing has revealed they are not true Emeralds, as they lack Beryl, the mineral behind Emeralds green hue. Instead, they are a newly identified Chromium-rich mineral in the Mica family, now classified as Emerald Mica (Chrome Muscovite). While not genuine Emeralds, these specimens feature stunning green hues and intricate matrix patterns, making them unique and valuable.

A member of the Mica group, it features the classic layered, sheet-like structure of Muscovite, with a pearly, vitreous luster and translucent to opaque appearance. Often found embedded in a silky silver Mica matrix.
