Polished Stichtite Free Forms x 4 From Barberton, South Africa

A NOTE FROM NICK 
A tray of 4 polished Purple Stichtite standing display pieces. This rare purple material from Kaapsehoop has silky chatoyant threads running through green Serpentine. We buy the raw material straight from the miners and made these ourselves, so this is a very reasonable price for Stichtite, otherwise only found in Tasmania.
