Polished On One Side Mtorolite Plates x 7 From Mutorashanga, Zimbabwe
A NOTE FROM NICK
7 x One Side Polished Emerald Green Mtorolite Plates. Mtorolite is actually very Rare and only found from this one location in Mutorashanga Zimbabwe. It is sold for $90 per lob at gem shows for reasonable thicker cutting material...but because its expensive, we bought up the thinner plates and polished them into specimens as a cheaper but nice option to buy a Mtorolite piece.
