Tasmanian Stichtite is the latest rare and exotic gemstone brought to you by your LC. Found in Tasmania, Australia, this wonder of a gem is prized for its green and purple hues that have been infused together by nature.
Stichtite is a purple-hued mineral usually found as a deposit within another mineral such as green serpentine. These two minerals have joined together to create this multi-hued gemstone. Stichtite can range in color from lavender-pink to purplish rose-red.
Stichtite was first discovered in 1910 in Western Tasmania, Australia. Home of the Tasmanian devil, this fascinating island is one of the largest islands in the world. With a third of the island in National Reserves, Tasmania boasts some of the cleanest air and rainwater in the world.
