A substantial natural dark fuchsite-bearing mica schist display specimen with strong layered foliation and a broad, low profile. Charcoal to green-black mica catches the light in silvery reflective plates, while pale matrix and a prominent orange-brown mineral-stained/inclusion-rich zone add contrast and character.
This specimen is offered as dark fuchsite mica schist based on its appearance and micaceous texture. Fuchsite is the chromium-rich green variety of muscovite; photographs alone cannot verify chromium content, and the dark mica may include other mica species. Exact mineral chemistry and locality have not been laboratory verified.
Presented in found condition. Traces of natural soil, dirt and surface debris are visible and may remain, as the specimen was collected as found; no aggressive cleaning or treatment has been applied. Natural fractures, flaky cleavage, uneven edges and variations in texture are part of the specimen’s character. Handle with care and keep dry.
