When polished into an obelisk, the changing distribution of these minerals becomes visible across each face, creating individual veins, patches and transitions throughout the stone.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe purple colouring of Stichtite is produced by chromium within its mineral structure, while Serpentine encompasses a group of magnesium-rich minerals commonly associated with altered ultramafic rocks. This combination gives each obelisk its own mineral pattern rather than a uniform appearance. Obelisks have an ancient history as monumental forms and are now also used within crystal collections to symbolise focus and directed intention. Metaphysically, this mineral pairing is associated with emotional balance, grounding, renewal and growth. 💜💚✨\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e⚖️ Weight: 94gms  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e📏 Size: H 8.3cm x L 3.1cm x W 2.2cm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🌏 Source: South Africa\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🔮 Stichtite: The Stone Of The Seeker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e💚💙 Heart \u0026amp; Third Eye Chakras\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese striking obelisks from South Africa bring together purple Stichtite and contrasting green Serpentine, creating naturally patterned pieces where no two will ever look quite the same.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThroughout each obelisk, lilac, mauve and deeper purple Stichtite moves through shades of green Serpentine in irregular patches, veins and natural formations.
