Atlantisite
Atlantisite is recognized for its distinctive combination of soft green serpentine and purple stichtite. The contrast between these two minerals creates beautiful swirling patterns and vibrant color variations within the stone.
Because of its unique appearance and smooth polish, Atlantisite is commonly used for cabochons, beads, carvings, and decorative objects. Each piece displays natural patterns formed by the growth of these two minerals together.
✨ Fact & Fun Fact:
Atlantisite is not a single mineral but a natural combination of serpentine and stichtite. It is mainly found in Tasmania, Australia, where these minerals occur together in serpentinite rock. The purple mineral, stichtite, is a rare magnesium chromium carbonate that was first discovered in Tasmania in 1910.
