This is a Faceted Enstatite from Madagascar.
It has the Japanese name "Ganbukiseki" (頑火輝石), meaning "fire-resistant pyroxene," named for its property of resisting fire.
Due to its two-directional cleavage, it is difficult to cut and process, making loose stones a rare find. This is a wonderful item with good transparency and an elegant brown Color that exudes sophistication.
