It can have various colors, but in atlantisite it is always more or less dark green.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003eSerpentine is actually a group of minerals belonging to the silicate group and the phyllosilicate subgroup. This family of minerals includes about twenty polymorphs. As a reminder, polymorphs have the ability to crystallize in different structures depending on pressure and temperature conditions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003eSerpentine remains a very difficult stone to identify. It has a low hardness of 2.5 to 3.5 on the Mohs scale. Its luster varies from greasy to silky to vitreous.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNow, here's a quick rundown of stichtite. It's a mineral species from the carbonate group and the hydrated carbonate subgroup, with traces of iron. This stone is mauve, lilac, or violet in color due to the presence of manganese. This mineral belongs to the hydrotalcite group with scale aggregates or micaceous fibers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003eStichtite is also a relatively fragile stone, as it has a hardness of 1 to 3 on the Mohs scale. In addition, it is relatively brittle.

Sicht (1857-1922). Mr. Sicht was the manager of the Mount Lyelle Mining and Railway Company, a mining company in Tasmania. From 1893 to 1994, this company, more commonly known as Mount Lyell, was the main copper mining company on the west coast, based in Queenstown, Tasmania.

It is a hydroxyl carbonate (with hydrated magnesium and copper) belonging to the hydrotalcite group. This stone is purple or lilac in color, with opaque waxy layers, occurring in aggregates of scaly or micaceous fibers.
