🔍 Under The Microscope

Crocoite is a rare lead chromate mineral, typically found in oxidized zones of lead ore deposits. It forms as slender, prismatic crystals that often appear in stunning clusters or as delicate needles, with a vibrant red to orange-red color that is characteristic of its chromium content. The mineral has a monoclinic crystal system and is known for its brilliant luster, which can range from vitreous to adamantine, giving it a dazzling appearance.

Crocoite is relatively soft, with a Mohs hardness of about 2.5 to 3, and is quite fragile, making it sensitive to handling. Its specific gravity ranges from 5.9 to 6.1, reflecting its lead-rich composition. Tasmanian Crocoite is highly prized by collectors not only for its vivid color and striking crystal formations but also for its rarity, as Tasmania is one of the few places in the world where significant deposits of this beautiful mineral are found. Its unique appearance and composition make it a standout in any mineral collection, showcasing the incredible diversity and beauty of Earth’s natural treasures.

🪨 Specimens 

The word Specimens gets thrown around a bit, but what does it truly mean??

It simply means a crystal that is represented in its truest and most natural form. Many crystals as you would know are shaped into spheres, palm stones etc to be able to use them for healing purposes.

Then you also have carvings for aesthetic purposes in and around the home. All of these have their individual purposes for their owners and what you are wanting to achieve, when either using them energetically, or for home décor.

Specimens can to a degree also be used for healing purposes but fall mostly into the category of home décor, and what I also find amazing is their heightened energy from my own perspective.

There is less handling through human shaping and polishing, and therefore they hold a different vibration to those that have been shaped.

Not to say there aren’t some super powerful pieces out there that aren’t specimens, I have been on many journeys with wands, eggs, and the likes. So many in fact.

The other amazing thing about specimens is that you can see the structure of the crystal, how its formed to a degree, and understand other crystals that have jumped on the journey with them. How different crystals can work in unison for many reasons including healing, after all nothing is a coincidence.

Final note, I love crystals in all forms for all reasons and when it comes to specimens, I believe they can add so much value to your home's energy, your energy and look amazing when showcased in the right space.
