Authentic Tiffany Stone Free-Form from Spor Mountain, Utah
This striking Tiffany Stone free-form originates from the Brush Wellman beryllium mine in the Spor Mountain region of western Utah—the only known source of this material worldwide. Measuring approximately 2.25 inches in length and weighing 2.6 ounces, it showcases a beautifully swirled palette of lavender, cream, and black.
Geological Formation
Tiffany Stone is not a single mineral but a composite rock formed when mineral-rich groundwater infiltrated carbonate nodules within rhyolite tuff. The heat and pressure triggered mineral replacements, resulting in a layered fusion of fluorite, chalcedony, opal, calcite, dolomite, quartz, and bertrandite.
These ingredients imbue the stone with its unique opalized and opalescent appearance—sometimes showing fluorescence under UV light due to fluorite content.
Collector & Display Appeal
Highly prized for its rarity and distinct beauty, Tiffany Stone specimens are exceptional collector’s items. The flowing color patterns and polished free-form shape make each piece a visually stunning focal point—ideal for display, lapidary projects, or as a unique addition to any mineral cabinet.
Care & Handling
Tiffany Stone has a Mohs hardness of about 4, making it relatively soft. To protect its surface, handle with care and store in a stable, dust-free environment. Clean gently with a soft brush or air blower; avoid harsh chemicals and moisture
