Blaugrüner Hiddenit Edelstein Schmuck Gemstone

Origin:

Hiddenite is a variety of the mineral spodumene and has the chemical formula LiAl(SiO₃)₂. It was named after the American geologist and mineralogist William Hidden, who contributed to the discovery and description of this mineral. Hiddenite occurs in various regions, including Brazil, Afghanistan, and certain parts of the United States.

Special features:

Hiddenite is characterized by its typical colors, which can range from pale to intense green tones. Its Mohs hardness is 6 to 7, meaning it is relatively robust, but should be handled with care when exposed to mechanical pressure or high temperatures. Hiddenite often has a clear, crystalline structure and can occur in fine crystals, making it particularly interesting for collectors.
