Description from the seller
This flame was carved from a block of natural fuchsite, a bright green variety of muscovite belonging to the mica group. Its characteristic color, ranging from light green to emerald green with golden and silvery shades, is mainly due to the presence of chromium within the crystal structure. The visible bands and veins create a vibrant, shimmering effect, giving the piece dynamism and uniqueness. Mineralogically, fuchsite belongs to the phyllosilicates and exhibits a typical mica cleavage, which imparts silky reflections and superficial glints. This mineral forms in aluminum and silica-rich metamorphic rocks, often in association with quartz, corundum, or kyanite. Historically and symbolically, fuchsite has been valued as a stone associated with regeneration, resilience, and connection to nature. In many traditions, it is linked to the heart and vitality, connected to the cycle of life and the capacity for renewal. In modern crystal therapy, it is considered a useful stone for stimulating optimism, creativity, and inner harmony. The flame-shaped craftsmanship enhances the stone’s natural veins and reflections, transforming this specimen into a refined collectible object and simultaneously into a striking decorative element. With its fresh, luminous tones, fuchsite brings a touch of natural energy and balance to any environment.
