This Nuummite was hand carved by me to fit into this 925 silver bezel. 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 rare magnetic Pyrrhotite inclusions!
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 ;)
On the bottom of the pendant is a facet grade Dioptase from Namibia which I carved to fit this bezel. I obtained the material from Stone Haven Gems. The bright colour I thought paired well with the little flash in the Nuummite!
