Fuchsite chert also commonly known as "Dragon Stone" is cryptocrystalline quartz stone metamorphosed from Fuchsite. It was formed when the Fuchsite vein was subjected to intense pressure and dissolution from extremely hot ground waters which partially dissolved the Fuchsite into a silica solution, forming large boulders. Much of the material retains the emerald green coloring of Fuchsite, but can also be found in lighter nuances of green. Fuchsite, also known as chrome mica, is a chromium rich variety of the mineral muscovite.
