I love the colour green which most likely what attracted me to this little piece of Fuchsite. The common colour is pale green to emerald green depending on the amount of Chromium substitution. This piece has a nice silvery sparkle to it. People also refer to it as Chrome Mica.

Full location of this specimen has not been determined, however there is a known deposit at Cookes Creek about 70km from Nullagine in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

Karina and I did a road trip up the east coast to Byron Bay around Easter of 2015. This specimen was purchased from Crystal Castle, we spent the whole day there walking around the gardens, taking in all the beautiful crystals. It really is a beautiful place to relax.
