Polished Mtorolite (Royal Jade)
Often sold as Royal Jade! Chrome chalcedony (Mtorolite) is similar in appearance to the better known chrysoprase, but differs in that whilst chrome chalcedony is coloured by chromium, Mtorolite is coloured by nickel and may also contain tiny black specks of chromite.
The material occurs in complex plate like deposits with specimens often appearing etched like. This is a beautiful piece.
