Kammermite

$40.00

Description

This striking Kammererite specimen displays an intense range of deep violet to vibrant magenta hues. The surface is densely coated with fine, sparkling microcrystals that shimmer under light, producing exceptional visual depth and saturation.

Kammererite is a highly sought-after and increasingly scarce mineral, especially in crystalline form, with quality specimens becoming harder to source. This piece showcases excellent color development and natural crystal formation, making it a standout example for collectors who value rarity, vibrancy, and mineralogical significance.

Dimensions & Weight

  • Dimensions: 3” x 1.75” x 1.25”

  • Weight: 189g

Collector’s Notes

Kammererite is considered one of the most collectible chromium-bearing minerals due to its vivid coloration and limited availability. Specimens with strong purple saturation and uniform crystal coverage—such as this one—are particularly desirable. This piece is completely natural and untreated, preserving its authentic geological character. An excellent acquisition for advanced collectors and curated mineral cabinets.

Highlights

  • Rare Kammererite (chromium-rich clinochlore)

  • Intense violet to deep purple crystal coverage

  • Sparkling microcrystalline surface texture

  • Untreated, naturally formed specimen

  • Highly collectible and increasingly scarce

Metaphysical Properties

Kammererite is associated with heightened intuition, spiritual insight, and heart-centered awareness. It is believed to support emotional healing while enhancing connection between the heart and higher consciousness. Many collectors value Kammererite for its powerful yet balanced energetic presence.

Mineralogy

  • Mineral: Kammererite (Chromium Clinochlore)

  • Chemical Formula: (Mg,Fe²⁺)₅Al(Si₃Al)O₁₀(OH)₈ with Cr³⁺

  • Crystal System: Monoclinic

  • Group: Chlorite Group

  • Color Cause: Chromium substitution within clinochlore

  • Formation: Metamorphic environments rich in chromium
