PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Rough Stichtite & Green Serpentine specimens - this is great lapidary material as it's on the softer side of the Mohs Scale and is highly stable material making it easy to work with. Our Toprock lapidaire loves working with Stichtite and has compared it to hard butter.
Stichtite, a rare mineral known for its vibrant purple hues. Found in small deposits in South Africa, this Chromium and Magnesium Carbonate mineral ranges in color from soft pinks and lilacs to deep purples. Formed as an alteration product of Chromite within Serpentine deposits, Stichtite's bright purple clusters contrast beautifully with its green Serpentine matrix.
