Sourced from South Africa, this material contains purple Stichtite occurring alongside green Serpentine, creating polished pieces that can vary significantly in the proportion and distribution of each mineral.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStichtite is recognised for its lilac to violet colouring, produced by chromium, while Serpentine commonly occurs in shades ranging from yellow-green and olive through to deeper green. The elongated tower or obelisk shape provides multiple polished surfaces for viewing the relationship between the two minerals and their changing natural patterns. Within crystal symbolism, the pointed form is associated with focus and direction, while Stichtite and Serpentine are metaphysically linked with compassion, grounding, emotional awareness, renewal and personal growth. 💜💚✨\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e⚖️ Weight: 71gms  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e📏 Size: H 7.3cm x L 3.3cm x W 1.6cm\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.
