FUCHSITE

(Alternate Name: Chrome Mica)

Appearance

Fuchsite is a shimmering green mica, ranging from pale mint to deep emerald, often sparkling with fine, silvery plates that catch the light like dew on leaves. Opaque and soft, it appears layered and flaky rather than solid, giving it a gentle, almost weightless presence. It looks restorative rather than commanding—green made quiet.

This is a stone that looks like rest returning to the body.
