NEW FIND - FORSTERITE with SPINEL matrix with mica- unique - no reserve price - Height: 3.5 cm - Width: 3.1 cm- 36 g

Forsterite is a magnesium-rich member of the olivine mineral group, often recognized for its olive-green to yellowish-green hues and its significance as a primary component of Earth's upper mantle. The specimen featuring forsterite on a spinel matrix accompanied by mica is a noteworthy find due to the combination of minerals and the spinel's typically striking octahedral crystals. Spinel itself is a magnesium aluminum oxide mineral valued for its gem-quality varieties. The presence of mica adds a layered silicate texture that contrasts with the crystalline forms of forsterite and spinel. Such multi-mineral specimens provide insight into complex geological environments and are prized by collectors for their unique aesthetics and mineral associations.
