To learn more about their particularities in mineralogy and their spiritual symbols in lithotherapy, you can visit the exhibition pages:
La Prasiolite
Prasiolite is a very rare variety of green quartz. It can be pale green to olive green and transparent to translucent.
Symbols in lithotherapy: transformation, spiritual development, emotional openness, mental clarity, emotional harmony.
Green Aventurine
Unlike Prasiolite, Green Aventurine is a composite stone containing inclusions of Fuchsite (chromium-rich mica), which explains its glittering lustre. It can be translucent to opaque.
Symbols in lithotherapy: Soothing emotions, self-confidence, good luck, prosperity, growth.
Buddstone
It is an opaque metamorphic rock, which can be intensely green in color. Buddstone is a variety of Chalcedony or Serpentine - often silicates, a mixture of minerals including microcrystalline quartz most of the time.
Symbols in lithotherapy: anchoring, strength of spirit, wisdom and spiritual healing in African traditions.
