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\u003eASSOCIATED 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\u003eASSOCIATED FEATURES \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eMatrix, Gemmy, Fluorescent\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eASSOCIATED 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 = Very Good to A Grade\u003cbr\u003eSize = 71 - 90 mm \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EMERALD MICA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50723215343809,"sku":"154-615-261013BM","price":2536.8,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2066\/6451\/files\/154615_4.jpg?v=1729248981","url":"https:\/\/www.toprocks.com\/products\/polished-emerald-mica-mutokolite-standing-display-pieces-x-3-from-mutoko-zimbabwe-11","provider":"Toprock Gemstones and Minerals ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
