Science & Origin of Nuummite
https://thecrystalcouncil.com/crystals/nuummite
Nuummite, also known as Nuummit, is a very rare metamorphic rock that also happens to be the oldest mineral ever discovered, estimated to be around 3 billion years old. This unique crystal is made up of 2 relatively unknown minerals, Anthophyllite and Gertie. The first being a magnesium iron silicate, while the latter is in the family of lithium bearing amphiboles. Nuummite crystallizes in the form of laminates and masses, with a heavy majority of this mineral coming out of Greenland. Due to the extreme harsh weather of this country, this mineral is only capable of being mined a few months out of the year when the ground is not frozen
