Chromium gives Stichtite its characteristic pinkish-purple to violet tones, while the associated Serpentine provides a varied background of olive, yellow-green and deeper green.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEach polished obelisk reflects the natural distribution of these minerals within the original material, resulting in different veins, patches and colour transitions from piece to piece. The tall geometric form also provides several viewing faces, making it particularly suitable for displaying specimens with complex natural patterning. Stichtite and Serpentine are metaphysically associated with compassion, emotional balance, grounding, renewal and growth. Obelisk symbolism adds themes of stability, focus and directing energy towards a central intention. 💜💚✨\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e⚖️ Weight: 48gms \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e📏 Size: H 6.9cm x L 2.8cm 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.
