Mtorodite (Chrome-Chalcedony)

Mtoroshanga (Mutorashanga), Mashonaland West, Zimbabwe

8.76cm x 6.45cm x 1.35cm


Description/Interesting Notes:

A rare example of mtorodite from Zimbabwe!!! Mtorodite is a rare variety of chrome bearing chalcedony!!! We acquired this specimen from Jim Houran a few years ago!!! The specimen has intense green color that, curiously is divided sharply in half - with a jade-like green on one side and a lively emerald green on the other side!!! If you look at the specimen on its edge you can clearly see the division between the differing colors of green!!! Such a sharp division, combined with lively color, would certainly create a unique opportunity for a lapidarist indeed!!! The specimen has curious natural markings that almost resemble some kind of primitive cuniform writing as well!!! This specimen is much more impressive in person!!! Simply a fantastic example of this rare chalcedony varietal!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY AUGUST 12th!!!
