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.

Unlike true Emeralds, which contain Beryl, Mutokolite’s hue comes from high Chromium content within its layered, sheet-like Mica structure, displaying a pearly to vitreous lustre and often encased in a silky silver Mica Schist matrix. Highly valued for its gemmy quality and intricate patterns, making it a distinctive unique gem that highlights the geological richness of the Mutoko region.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRODUCT MINERALS \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChrome Muscovite, \u003c\/span\u003eMica Schist\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRODUCT FEATURES \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eMatrix, Gemmy, Fluorescent\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRODUCT COLOUR \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eGreen, Silver, White\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMOHS HARDNESS SCALE\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e2 to 2.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCT DATA \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eLocality = Mutoko, Zimbabwe\u003cbr\u003eGrade = Good to A Grade\u003cbr\u003eSize = 20 - 80 mm \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EMERALD MICA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47901919314113,"sku":"184-326-260528KW-ST923-EMENN340208ZS01","price":1190.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2066\/6451\/files\/DSC_0347_60a104f7-c34c-4a0c-8faa-40916559fea9.jpg?v=1712296232","url":"https:\/\/www.toprocks.com\/products\/natural-small-emerald-mica-cobbed-specimens-sold-per-1-kg-from-mutoko-zimbabwe","provider":"Toprock Gemstones and Minerals ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
