This is an end cut off of a raw piece of Nuummite from Greenland I bough straight from the miner. One side is raw and the other side is flat from the saw. The stones exterior has bronze flecks throughout - I decided not to cut into it because it was thin and seemed brittle - not so much carving material, in my opinion. So here it is for someone else to love instead! This piece also has inclusions of magnetic Pyrrhotite - very cool!
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!
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 ;)
