Fuchsite Sphere - 40cm - for the Garden

A polished Fuchsite sphere with a 40 cm diameter, in deep green tones with embedded quartz veins.

Fuchsite is a chromium-containing mica variety (Muscovite). The intense green color is caused by traces of trivalent chromium in the potassium-aluminum-silicate lattice.

This size is designed for the garden: a central accent in a rock garden, by a water feature, or as a sculptural endpoint of a path.

Fuchsite is weather-resistant and does not fade in sunlight. Suitable for permanent outdoor placement for many years.

When wet, the light quartz bands become more prominent; thus, the sphere shows a slightly changing appearance depending on the weather and time of day.

A garden piece with sculptural quality.
