Cumberlandite is a rare rock that is found only in Rhode Island. Its main source is on a 4-acre plot in Cumberland, RI. The rock has also been found scattered throughout the state from glacial deposits millions of years ago. It is a dense, volcanic rock sometimes containing crystals.
There are 3 types of cumberlandite:
(1) MonotonuousCumberlandite - no white plagioclase crystals(2) Ornament Cumberlandite - varying whiteplagioclase crystals(3) Tenuous Cumberlandite - greenish plagioclasecrystal
I believe this piece to be the tenouous variety, as the crystals in it have a greenish color. See photos and you be the judge.
This will make a nice addition to any rock collection, and also is a great RI souvenir or gift idea!
I ship within 24 hours of payment received. Rest assured your product will be shipped to you in a solid box to ensure safe delivery.
