Despite the name suggesting bronze metal, Bronzite is a naturally occurring magnesium-iron rich silicate found on nearly every inhabited continent. This material is known for its remarkable transformation potential - what appears dull and unattractive in rough form reveals stunning bronze shimmer and metallic luster once properly cut and polished. Bronzite can be oriented and cut in multiple directions, with each angle producing a different chatoyant shimmer effect as the iron-magnesium crystals catch the light.
WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL
The piece was cut specifically to maximize chatoyance - the orientation work has already been done for you. Bronze metallic flash ready to be revealed with polishing.
PERFECT FOR
• Cabochon cutting
