It forms as a secondary alteration mineral when chromite-bearing ultramafic rocks undergo hydration and weathering. Due to its low hardness it is best suited for low impact lapidary work but durability can be increased by stabilizing the stone or adding backings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditionally, stichtite has been associated with gentleness and transformation, inspired by its purple to pink hues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eChemical Composition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: Mg₆Cr₂(OH)₁₆CO₃ · 4H₂O\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lapidary Grade \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance\u003c\/strong\u003e:  Opaque\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCracks: \u003c\/strong\u003eMinimal\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInclusions\u003c\/strong\u003e: Minimal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eApproximate Size of\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e 1 pc\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: 8cm x 5cm x 3cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate Weight of 1 pc\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: 110g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRough is rough.
