{"product_id":"specimen-mica-green-1-2-5-2","title":"Green Mica Specimen - 1.0-2.5 inch","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Fuchsite Specimen is a natural piece of chrome-green mica, its surface broken into fine, flaky layers that catch the light with the silvery sparkle the mica family is known for. The green ranges from soft sage to a richer emerald, and the layered, micaceous texture gives each piece a glittering, almost metallic shimmer when turned. These are natural specimens shown in their raw form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFuchsite is traditionally associated with the heart, with compassion and with gentle emotional balance, and is often described as a renewing, uplifting stone. People keep a specimen like this in a personal space, on a shelf or beside a workspace, where the green sparkle can be enjoyed. As a raw mineral piece it appeals equally to collectors drawn to its distinctive flaky structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a natural stone, each Fuchsite Specimen differs in its green tone, sparkle and shape, so the piece you receive will be its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPrimary Focus: Love \u0026amp; Compassion\u003cbr\u003e\nSecondary Focus: Balance \u0026amp; Harmony\u003cbr\u003e\nChakra Association: Heart\u003cbr\u003e\nZodiac Sign: Libra, Aquarius\u003cbr\u003e\nChinese Zodiac: Rabbit, Goat\u003cbr\u003e\nRuling Planet: Mercury\u003cbr\u003e\nElements: Earth, Air\u003cbr\u003e\nMohs Hardness: 2-3\u003cbr\u003e\nStone Family: Phyllosilicate\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: Natural Fuchsite\u003cbr\u003e\nOrigin: Brazil\u003cbr\u003e\nForm: Specimen\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate Size: 25-63 mm (1.0-2.5 inches)\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate Weight: 21-127 g\u003cbr\u003e\nListing: Single unit, sold by weight (price reflects the individual piece selected)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeological Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFuchsite is the chromium-bearing variety of muscovite mica, a potassium aluminium chromium silicate of the mica family, crystallising in the monoclinic system at a very soft Mohs hardness of 2 to 3. Its green to emerald-green colour comes from chromium, while the characteristic silvery sparkle is produced by the perfect cleavage of the mica structure into thin, reflective sheets. It is frequently found in association with ruby, the popular combination known as Ruby Fuchsite, and is named after the German mineralogist Johann Nepomuk von Fuchs. This material is sourced from Brazil, with further deposits in India, Russia, Zimbabwe and Austria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEach natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity.
