Nuumite is a rare metamorphic rock that consists of the amphibole minerals drought and anthofyllite. It is named after the area of ​​Nuuk in Greenland, where it is found. Nuumite is usually black in color and opaque. It consists of two amphiboles, drought and anthyllyllite, which form exsolution slats that give a rock its typical play of colors. Other common minerals in the rock are pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite, which form shimmering yellow bands in polished specimens. Known as the oldest mineral on earth and therefore known as a real magician's stone. Encourages transformation that leads you to success provided you listen to your intuition and act.
