Phenacite - Phenakite from Brazil 2.10 cts PH8

Phenakite or phenacite is a fairly rare nesosilicate mineral consisting of beryllium orthosilicate, Be2SiO4. Occasionally used as a gemstone, phenakite occurs as isolated crystals. The Mohs hardness is high, being 7.5–8; the specific gravity is 2.96. The crystals are sometimes perfectly colorless and transparent, but more often they are greyish or yellowish and only translucent; occasionally they are pale rose-red.

In general appearance, the mineral is not unlike quartz, topaz or sometimes tourmalines, for which indeed it has been mistaken. It has been found in Madagascar, Mexico, Brazil, Nigeria, South Africa, Russsia, Norway, USA, Switzerland and Tanzania.

Phenakite crystal is said to have powerful high vibrations strong enough to activate the third eye crown chakra. Phenakite's relationship with higher realms is said to make it a great tool for manifestation of inner intentions into our outer world. Phenakite is a synergy stone.

Great for: third eye activation, inner visions, manifestation, dimensional travel.
