Polished On One Side Mtorolite Plates x 12 From Mutorashanga, Zimbabwe

A NOTE FROM NICK 
12 Polished Specimen Plates of this unusual and rare Chrome Chalcedony variety..also known as Emerald Chrysoprase. The rough Mtorolite thick translucent material sells at $90 per lb and is pretty expensive, but we have harvested the thinner plates from the mine that have some vugs, natural crystallisation etc and have made an affordable specimen plate product with it as these are $18 per lb/R700 per kg. 

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Mtorolite: The Exquisite Chrome Chalcedony from Zimbabwe

Emerald Mtorolite is a rare, vibrant green variety of Chrome Chalcedony found only in Zimbabwe. Its color ranges from deep forest green to a lighter emerald hue, caused by trace amounts of Chromium within its structure. This unique mineral is typically opaque with a glassy to waxy luster and is prized for its rich color, often mistaken for Jade due to its resemblance.
