Atlantisite Sphere This beautiful Sphere is a polished natural specimen from Tasmania, Australia. Weighing 128 grams and measuring 46mm in diameter, it displays the rare and striking combination of deep green serpentine with vibrant purple stichtite inclusions. Atlantisite is a relatively rare stone found only in a few locations worldwide, most notably in Tasmania. It is a natural geological blend of green serpentine and purple stichtite, creating a beautiful contrast of colours and patterns. The high polish on this Sphere enhances the smooth texture and brings out the vivid green and purple tones with a gentle, waxy lustre that catches the light beautifully. You will receive the exact Sphere shown in the product photos. What is Atlantisite? Atlantisite is a unique combination mineral consisting of green serpentine and purple stichtite. The name “Atlantisite” was given because some people feel its appearance resembles the mythical lost city of Atlantis – with swirling greens and purples that look almost oceanic. The stone forms in Tasmania through complex metamorphic processes involving magnesium-rich rocks. The purple stichtite inclusions create dramatic splashes of colour against the softer green background, making each piece visually distinct. This particular Atlantisite Sphere has a lovely balance of both colours, with clear areas of deep green serpentine and noticeable patches of bright purple stichtite. The 46mm diameter makes it a comfortable size to hold or display, while the 128-gram weight gives it a satisfying, substantial feel.
