I carved this gorgeous Nuummite into a self standing point that fits perfectly in the palm of my hand! 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 ;)
Approximate size:
Length: 72.30mm
Width: 12.20mm
Depth: 9.40mm
21.21Grams
This is one of a kind, crafted on a lapidary machine. Stone shown in the pictures is the one you will receive.
