This is a large and exceptionally interesting mixed serpentine specimen from the St. Mary's Mountain area near Kimberley, British Columbia, featuring an incredible combination of colours, patterns, and mineral inclusions.
The stone is dominated by deep green, gem-like serpentine, with beautiful natural movement and patterns throughout the material. Bright white quartz creates a striking contrast against the deep green, while areas of black magnetite add darker pockets and dramatic definition.
Adding even more character are natural iron-rich inclusions and hematite-like material, along with some very cool pyrite inclusions scattered through the stone. Together, these minerals create a specimen with a wide range of natural colours and textures that reveal something different from one area to another.
At an impressive 20 lbs, this is a substantial collector and display piece. Measuring approximately 13 inches tall × 7 inches wide × 5 inches thick, it has the size and presence to become the centerpiece of a mineral collection or natural stone display.
Specimen Details
- Location: St. Mary's Mountain area, Kimberley, British Columbia, Canada
- Material: Mixed serpentine with quartz, magnetite, iron-rich inclusions and pyrite
- Weight: Approximately 20 lbs
- Dimensions: Approximately 13" tall × 7" wide × 5" thick
- Primary colour: Deep green
- Additional colours: White, black, metallic/dark iron tones
- Features: Gem-like serpentine, white quartz, black magnetite, iron/hematite-like inclusions and pyrite
- Type: Large collector/display specimen
What really sets this specimen apart is the combination of minerals and natural patterning. The deep green serpentine provides the foundation, while the white quartz cuts through the darker material and the magnetite and iron-rich areas add depth. The small pyrite inclusions give the stone another interesting mineral feature for collectors to discover.
This is the kind of specimen that rewards you for taking your time and looking closely. Every section has its own natural character, making it a unique piece of the geological history of the Kimberley and St. Mary's Mountain region.
A massive 20-pound piece of British Columbia stone with deep green serpentine, contrasting quartz, dark magnetite, iron-rich inclusions and pyrite—an impressive natural specimen for the serious rock and mineral collector.
