Item Description

Fuchsite is the uncommon greenish variety of muscovite and is high in chromium. Fresh, sparkly, bright mint-green fuchsite is richly included in the two large quartz crystals and most of the smaller ones on this striking, excellent and uncommon specimen from a recent find in Madagascar. The two large crystals are transparent to translucent and have dramatic fuchsite phantoms. Very nifty and unusual quartz.
