Item Description
A classic piece of Stichtite from the Tunnel Hill Quarry in Tasmania. This species is a rare hydrated chromium magnesium carbonate, which forms as an alteration product from chromium-bearing Serpentine. It was discovered in 1910 in Western Tasmania, Australia, and was first recognized by A.S. Wesley a former chief chemist with the Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Company. The mineral was named after Robert Carl Sticht the manager of the mine. This piece is a good example of the material featuring a rich pinkish-purple coverage of Stichtite with minor olive green Serpentine matrix.
