This was another recent self-find of mine back in August, 2025 from Everson, Washington, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wood was thoroughly sanded using various grades of sandpaper, stained with a blue-grey wood stain and finished with multiple top polymer coats. The stone axe head was affixed with a leather strap and dab of silicon gel to keep it firmly affixed. The axe head itself has also been finished with a poly coat to keep it presentable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the axe head is actually naturally magnetic! The stone has a dark green matrix with a creamy, white crust. I had a chemical analysis completed by Excalibur Mineral Corp. to confirm the chemical composition of the specimen. The green matrix is Serpentine; the black inclusions are Magnetite and the metallic\/glassy mineral in the vugs is Chromite (chromium ore)!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSerpentine \u003cbr\u003eMg3Si2O5(OH)4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnetite \u003cbr\u003eFe2+Fe3+2O4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChromite\u003cbr\u003eFe2+Cr3+2O4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMAGNETITE, CHROMITE, SERPENTINE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCollected: 27 August, 2025\u003cbr\u003eLocality: Whatcom County, Washington State\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe total length of the hatchet\/axe is just under 29 cm \/ 12 in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDisclaimer: this axe is meant to be decorative and NOT recommended to attempt cutting wood or anything of the sort!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TryggArt ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53807255650597,"sku":null,"price":280.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/5185\/7701\/files\/7A9A842D-2810-410E-8853-7F163DA795E4.jpg?v=1789058588","url":"https:\/\/tryggart.com\/products\/magnetite-chromite-serpentine-hatchet-fantasy-minerals","provider":"TryggArt ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
