This stone originates from Greenland. Nuummite literally means "derived from Nuuk", which is where near where Nuummite was first discovered. Nuummite is a trade name for an Anthophyllite-Gedrite series of stones that contain a certain iridescence. It is quite rare, as one can only get to the locale via boat during certain months when the ice has melted. It can be seen in a variety of 'grades', the highest seemingly being the ones with the most colours and flash! This piece even has inclusions of rare magnetic Pyrrhotite! I also carved a little flat bottom so it is also self standing!
Some people are selling Coppernite, Larvikite, and Arfvedsonite as Nuummite so watch out! Though they may look similar, they have a completely different chemical composition. I enjoy using mindat.org (a mineral database) for comparing crystals to see how similar they are. I hope that helps you with your crystal adventures ;)
