Hilutite
pendants, gemstones, rolled stones

The origin of its symbols

Hilutite is a very recent discovery, dating back to the mid-2000s in Sri Lanka.

Its name comes from the Amharic word "hilut", meaning "vein" or "thread", referring to the filamentous patterns that run across its structure.

Its contemporary esoteric symbology, derived from local traditions, attributes to Hilutite both anchoring and balancing properties on the emotions.

Spiritual and energetic properties in lithotherapy

The benefits of Hilutite in lithotherapy act mainly on the root chakra and that of the heart: it supports a stability linked to the Earth as a reconnection to your inner self.

Quartzite, garnet, zircon and goethite from Hilutite combine their energetic virtues for emotional and physical support.

Its emotional harmonization can dissipate anxiety linked to stress and self-doubt. By unblocking emotions for a personal and authentic expression of feelings, it is conducive to self-confidence and better communication with others.

This spiritual advance will encourage perseverance and willpower in the face of difficulties, fostering optimism and a feeling of joie de vivre. By anchoring and projecting, Hilutite can become a positive mood ally, inviting you to approach life with passion and enthusiasm.

On a physical level

There is no scientific proof of Hilutite's physical effects, but a well-established tradition attributes to it properties that stimulate blood circulation.
It would be welcome in cases of heavy legs or varicose veins, or to relieve cramps that can occur during menstruation. Post-partum use has also been documented: Hilutite is said to relieve trench pain and cramps after childbirth.

What stones should Hilutite be associated with?

In lithotherapy, depending on your specific needs, Hilutite can be combined with certain stones with complementary vibratory properties to amplify its effects:

• Hilutite can be combined with Moss Agate or Medfordite to help anchor and your connection to nature.
• the vital energy of a Carnelian Quartz will stimulate motivation and, according to tradition, relieve menstrual pain.
• Adularia, also known as Moonstone, is used in lithotherapy to help you reconnect with your intuition, and also, according to tradition, to accompany hormonal cycles.

Hilutite mineralogy

Hilutite is a complex silicate composed mainly of quartz, with inclusions of goethite, garnet and zircon. Its color ranges from forest green to pink with garnet inlays, to midnight blue, sometimes with metallic reflections.

Its conchoidal structure (a fracture that produces smooth and curved surfaces, similar to the inside of a shell), lack of cleavage (the mineral does not break along defined crystal planes), and Mohs hardness of 4.5 and 5 (a relatively fragile stone) make it difficult to cut - but its aesthetic brilliance is highly prized by jewellers and collectors.

Its formation takes place in low-temperature hydrothermal environments; copper-rich fluids permeate fractured volcanic rocks (such as Basalt and Rhyolite), depositing microcrystals that agglomerate into a thick and satiny matrix.

This rare stone is found in Sri Lanka.
