History
Stichtite was discovered in 1910 in Dundas, on the west coast of Tasmania, Australia. It was named after Robert Carl Sticht, the manager of the nearby Mt Lyell copper mine. It is purplish pink to purple rose-red in color. Dark purple stichtite inclusions can also be found in some green serpentine, which is called Atlantisite or Tasmanite. This combination makes interesting specimens and attractive ornamental stones for carvings.
Metaphysical and Healing Properties
Stichtite is believed to be a stone of rescue, recovery and forgiveness. The gemstone is thought to help heal unresolved issues and emotional issues by promoting feelings of love and compassion. Metaphysical healers use stichtite to assist in restoring emotional and physical health after illness, depression or emotional trauma. Stichtite has a strong effect on the heart, third eye and crown chakras.
Geological Properties
Stichtite is a mineral, a hydrated magnesium chromium carbonate, which can be usually found in igneous and metamorphic rock. Stichtite is formed as an alteration product of chromite containing serpentine. Australia is a major source for stichtite, but it has also been found in Brazil, Canada, India, Morocco, Russia, Scotland and Sweden.

Common questions
- For pendants pictured without a bail (the piece that goes into the drill hole so you can slide a chain through), I will make a wire bail. I will need to be able to reach you to see what color bail you want the wire in.
Please keep dry. Some crystals will dissolve if they get wet. A little sweat against the skin or a little rain (if you are out and about) will be fine, but please do not shower or swim with the pieces.
