Garnierite from Sulawesi, Indonesia – 100 g

In places, small crystalline formations are visible, adding additional visual depth. Overall, the material displays a vivid color pattern typical for garnierite.
Geology & origin
Garnierite is not a single mineral in the strict sense, but a general term for nickel-bearing silicates that form in lateritic nickel deposits. These develop through intense weathering of ultramafic rocks in tropical climates. Sulawesi in Indonesia is a well-known source for such nickel-rich laterites and regularly produces garnierite in characteristic green color variations.
