Velveteen Malachite Our Velveteen Malachite has a striking emerald green color with beautiful CHATOYANCY. What is chatoyancy you ask (sha-toy-en-see)? Chatoyancy is a phenomenon in gemology, also known as cat’s eye effect, an optical reflectance effect seen in certain gemstones and minerals. Light reflecting off of the intricate clusters of radiating malachite crystals creates a holographic effect. This visual phenomenon can be compared to the brilliant sheen reflecting off the fibers of velvet. Hence why we call our Fibrous Malachite, “Velveteen Malachite”…it is so lustrous and silky smooth! This rich and lustrous specimen is sourced directly from the Rusahi Mine from the Katanga Province in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Fibrous Malachite has been declining in supplies after a reassurance of materials in 2010. This mineral will surely become a collector’s item and add a special pop of color to your living space! Malachite is known as the stone of transformation. It encourages unconditional love, change, and risk-taking. Gift this to a loved one who might be going through a difficult time.

  Purple Flourite So many details and textures to take in on this gemmy purple fluorite. This specimen is a rare find from the Berbes Mine in Spain which stopped production many years ago. The distinctive well-formed fluorite crystals are mixed with delicate golden barite “blades”. We love its complex composition with shades of violet to periwinkle clusters. The fluorite crystals have defined internal geometric phantoms, displaying outlines of numerous smaller crystals. Fluorite is also known as “the most colorful mineral in the world” due to the wide range of color variations. Berbes is a mining area in the province of Ribadesella, Asturias, which is in the northern coast of Spain. The Berbes Mine is famous for its violet and blue-purple fluorite cubic crystals, and associations with other minerals such as quartz and barite. Specimens from this area of Spain are coveted by collectors and mineral enthusiasts. Since the 1930s the area has been mined by competing entrepreneurs and companies. Due to the physical condition of the mine and lack of financing over the decades, there are fewer and fewer quality specimens. Due to its scarcity along with its distinctive composition and color, Purple Fluorite from the Berbes Mine is coveted by collectors and mineral enthusiasts alike.
