Hiddenite Crystal Brazil Natural Green Spodumene Mineral 25-45mm
£ 4.20
HIDDENITE – NATURAL GREEN SPODUMENE MINERAL FROM BRAZIL (25–45MM)This Hiddenite specimen from Brazil is a genuine natural mineral crystal,
carefully selected for its attractive green colour and collector appeal. Measuring approximately 25–45mm (full sizing please see photo), each piece is carefully chosen, and the photograph provided shows an example of the actual specimen you will receive. Every item includes a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card, confirming it as a genuine mineral specimen. MINERAL SPECIES & SCIENTIFIC CLASSIFICATIONHiddenite is the green variety of spodumene, a lithium aluminium inosilicate mineral with the chemical formula:LiAlSi₂O₆Spodumene belongs to the pyroxene group and crystallises in the monoclinic crystal system. It commonly forms elongated, prismatic crystals with distinct cleavage planes and a vitreous lustre.The green colour of hiddenite is typically attributed to trace amounts of chromium within the crystal structure. Colour intensity may range from pale mint green to deeper yellow-green tones depending on trace element concentration and formation conditions.Spodumene has a hardness of approximately 6.5–7 on the Mohs scale, making it suitable for display and long-term collecting. COLOUR, CLARITY & CRYSTAL FEATURESThis hiddenite specimen may display:
• Light to medium green colour
• Transparent to translucent areas
• Vitreous (glass-like) lustre
• Natural crystal faces or cleavage surfaces
• Subtle internal inclusions typical of spodumeneSpodumene is known for its prismatic crystal habit and prominent cleavage, which may be visible as flat reflective planes along the length of the crystal. Each specimen is unique in colour depth, crystal development, and internal structure.The 25–45mm size provides a balanced display presence while remaining suitable for cabinet collections. GEOLOGICAL FORMATION & BRAZILIAN LOCALITYBrazil is one of the world’s most important sources of spodumene and other pegmatite-related minerals. Hiddenite forms primarily in granitic pegmatites, which are coarse-grained igneous rocks that crystallise from the final stages of magma cooling.Pegmatites are chemically enriched environments, allowing lithium-bearing minerals such as spodumene to develop large, well-formed crystals. During crystallisation, trace elements such as chromium may be incorporated into the structure, producing the green hiddenite variety.Brazilian pegmatites are also known for producing associated minerals such as:
• Quartz
• Feldspar
• Lepidolite
• Tourmaline
• BerylThese mineral-rich geological systems contribute to the quality and collector appeal of Brazilian hiddenite specimens. SIZE, AUTHENTICITY & PRESENTATION
• Mineral: Hiddenite (Green Spodumene)
• Chemical Formula: LiAlSi₂O₆
• Crystal System: Monoclinic
• Origin: Brazil
• Size: Approximately 25–45mm (please refer to photo for full sizing reference)
• Authenticity: Includes Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic cardThis specimen is ideal for mineral collectors, spodumene enthusiasts, pegmatite mineral collectors, educational geology collections, or as a distinctive natural history gift. COLLECTING & TRADITIONAL ASSOCIATIONSHiddenite is prized among collectors for its attractive green colour and connection to lithium-rich pegmatite systems. As a coloured variety of spodumene, it is less commonly encountered than other quartz-based green minerals, adding to its appeal.In spiritual traditions, hiddenite is traditionally associated with growth and compassion; these interpretations are cultural rather than scientific. From a mineralogical perspective, its interest lies in its lithium aluminium silicate composition, monoclinic crystal structure, and pegmatite origin.A genuine Hiddenite specimen from Brazil, carefully chosen for quality and supplied with certificate of authenticity, offering classic green spodumene mineral character in a collectible 25–45mm size.
