Fuchsite is a Chromium rich variety of Mica, one which typically presents as very brigh green crystals in mineral specimens. We have occasionally seen really fine Fuchsite included in Quartz crystals from Brazil and, on occasion, these can produce nice looking cabochons. Really the only way a gem collector can enjoy Fuchsite as it is too soft and fragile to be faceted on its own. Here, a very bright and fine single ‘blade’ of Fuchsite framed in a colorless Quartz. A really fine combination and a striking inclusion stone.
