Description

Erythrite is an old and uncommon mineral whose identification only dates back to 1832. When cobalt-rich ore starts to oxidize, the process can leave behind the beautiful blossoming crystals of erythrite. It is relatively high in arsenic content, so extreme caution is encouraged when handling and processing this mineral.

General Info

Healing Properties

Erythrite is a positive energy stone that works on the Heart, Throat, and Root chakras. It can help a person on their journey to self-awareness, allowing for self-acceptance and spiritual growth. The stone's positive energy on the heart is believed to influence one's relationships and allow for better understanding of others. Communication may be improved when using this stone as it opens the Throat chakra for better clarity when speaking.

Usage

Erythrite is a minor ore of cobalt, which is an essential metal used in laptops, batteries, magnets, hip replacements, jet engines, and more. The striking and unusual colors also make erythrite a valued collector's mineral.

Types

The nickel variety, annabergite, occurs as a light green nickel bloom on nickel arsenides. In addition iron, magnesium and zinc can also substitute for the cobalt position, creating three other minerals: parasymplesite (Fe), hörnesite (Mg) and köttigite (Zn).
