Velveteen Malachite Our Velveteen Malachite has a striking emerald green color with beautiful CHATOYANCY. What is chatoyancy you ask (sha-toy-en-see)? Chatoyancy is a phenomenon in gemology, also known as cat’s eye effect, an optical reflectance effect seen in certain gemstones and minerals. Light reflecting off of the intricate clusters of radiating malachite crystals creates a holographic effect. This visual phenomenon can be compared to the brilliant sheen reflecting off the fibers of velvet. Hence why we call our Fibrous Malachite, “Velveteen Malachite”…it is so lustrous and silky smooth! This rich and lustrous specimen is sourced directly from the Rusahi Mine from the Katanga Province in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Fibrous Malachite has been declining in supplies after a reassurance of materials in 2010. This mineral will surely become a collector’s item and add a special pop of color to your living space! Malachite is known as the stone of transformation. It encourages unconditional love, change, and risk-taking. Gift this to a loved one who might be going through a difficult time.

  Cave Calcite Cave Calcite is also known as ‘floss ferri’ (flowers of iron) or frostwork (think of the attractive pattern that frost can make on a window or other surfaces). The crystals that form in the precipitation of ground water and the cave surfaces are often delicately beautiful yet striking. They can form tree, coral, or worm-like patterns that are most unique. Our Cave Calcite will make an outstanding display piece for your home or office! Similar to how they are formed in nature (rising from the floor of a cave), Cave Calcite is said to be an active crystal that speeds up development and growth physically, mentally and spiritually.
