Polished Stichtite specimens from Barberton, South Africa.
The stones are all rough chunks with one or more polished "windows". The material is soft (under 2 on the mohls scale) and so
to use them in jewelry will require a very well protected setting. This is a rare rock sometimes highly chatoyant, it can have attached Serpentine and Chromite.
Some of these chunkers could be carved, used for cabbing or just as mineral specimens they are pretty nice !
