[Rockhounds] 'Stitchite'

[Jim Murowchick]

So is it eaten?

Serpentine for the green makes sense.  As Pete mentioned, the similarity to
brucite (Mg(OH)2) and the mention of olivine make sense.  Brucite can be an
alteration product of Mg-rich olivine (forsterite) in mafic and ultramafic
rocks.  Chromium is also found in ultramafics.  I don't know much about the
occurrence of stichtite--is it found in altered ultramafic deposits?
