PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Dragons Bloodstone Bastite – Exquisite Specimens from Tshipise South Africa

Dragons Bloodstone Bastite, a rare and striking material sourced from Tshipise, renowned for its thermal hot springs. This exceptional collection features a captivating blend of green, red, and earthy hues, reminiscent of Dragons Bloodstone.

Bastite is a fascinating combination of Epidote and Piedmontite, showcasing the geological complexity and rarity of this material. Piedmontite, a member of the Epidote group, displays hues ranging from red to reddish-brown or red-black, with a vitreous luster and a distinctive red streak. Epidote, often found in metamorphic rocks like Marble and Schistose formations, results from hydrothermal alterations in various igneous rocks.

The specimens from Tshipise are distinguished by their exquisite color mix, blending green, red, and earthy tones in a manner that reflects the region's unique geology. Due to the material's rarity and the challenge of finding it in polished form, these Dragons Bloodstone Bastite specimens are truly exceptional and not commonly available.
