Description: Gorgeous Garnierite Sphere Mineral Origin: Madagascar Diameter: 2.5" (64 mm) Gorgeous pastel key-lime/mint green colors and patterns ... Though Garnierite is not a valid mineral name according to the Commission on New Minerals, the stone appears to be the result of serpentinized Nickel-ore ... Light colored Garnierite is an alteration of Olivine-rich rock ... light green to bright green Garnierite is a result of he leaching of manganese oxide, magnesium, nickel and iron from the original dark green Garnierite ... Serpentine comes in many varieties and forms, but we have never seen it in this new form ... What we do know is that it is very similar to the Infinity Serpentine spheres from India! ... and no surprise! For those who didn't fall asleep in your Geology class the day the prof discussed "tectonic & plate shifting", we know that India and Madagascar were once connected together almost 100 million years ago ... we see a lot of similarities in the rocks between them ... a reason why much of the Ocean Jasper from Madagascar looks like Bloodstone (Heliotrope) from India ... It is a gorgeous stone! Garnierite was named for Jules Garnier, a French Geologist, in 1874. Exclusively from Spherefactor!
