axinite stone

Axinite is a mineral, it is an aluminoborosilicate of the silicate class. It got its name from the ancient Greek, which means "axe". Perhaps such an association arose due to the shape of the crystals, which in nature form in the form of a sharp wedge-shaped shape. The mineral was discovered in 1797 by the French scientist, mineralogist and founder of the science of crystals and their properties - Rene-Just Gayuy.

Description

Axinite is formed in nature in the form of tablets with oblique edges and very sharp edges. Often you can find intergrowths of the mineral in a pinnate form.

The shade of the mineral can be different, but, as a rule, these are dark colors:

• brown;
• dark purple;
• purple with a blue tint.

A similar color scheme is completely provoked by the presence of manganese and iron impurities in the mineral. With prolonged exposure to the sun, it may fade and acquire a pale shade.

Despite the low prevalence and low popularity in the jewelry industry, the gem has high physical characteristics:

• hardness - 7 on the Mohs scale;
• full or partial transparency, but at the same time sunlight shines through completely;
• strong glass luster;
• The presence of pleochroism is the optical property of some minerals to change color from different angles of view.

Main gem deposits:

• France;
• Mexico;
• Australia;
• Russia;
• Switzerland;
• Norway;
• Brazil;
• Tanzania.

Healing and magical properties of axinite

Aksinit helps to get rid of many female diseases, including problems associated with the reproductive system. If you wear a stone in the form of a brooch, then it is able to prevent the development of mastopathy, and for nursing mothers, lithotherapists recommend a gem, since it is believed that it increases lactation.

Axinite can also reduce the intensity of a headache, calm an overly excited nervous system, and also cure some psychological diseases. The constant wearing of the mineral helps to increase libido and even treat infertility.

As for the magical properties, according to esotericists, axinite helps to “smooth out” negative traits in character, for example, anger, aggression, hostility and irascibility. In addition, many years ago, a stone was put on a young mother and baby, believing that in this way it is possible to protect them from damage, the evil eye and negativity from others.

There is also an opinion that axinite can add vitality and energy to the owner of the stone, as well as find mutual understanding with others, mitigate conflict or eliminate resentment.
