Eudialyte is a stone of courage and self-love. Its energy encourages us to have good boundaries and to resist self-destructive behaviors and habits.
Eudialyte is mainly mined in Canada, Greenland and Russia. Additional deposits are located in Brazil, Guinea, Madagascar, Namibia, Norway, South Africa, Sweden and the United States (Arkansas).
Eudialyte forms particularly in alkaline igneous rocks, especially in rocks like nepheline syenites. It often grows these long and prismatic semi-transparent crystals that are embedded in a mix of white, black, and grey colours, all of which make the vibrant hues of eudialyte all the more stunning.
Eudialyte is found associated with other alkalic igneous minerals, in addition to some minerals common to most igneous material in general.
Alternative names of eudialyte include: almandine spar, eudalite, Saami blood.
Mining and Treatments
Eudialyte is mainly mined as a minor ore for Zirconium and rare earth metals. Occasionally gemstone quality crystals are found for jewelers and collectors.
All Eudialyte may be considered fully natural, enhanced only by tumbling, cutting, or polishing.
Mineral Family
Eudialyte is a Cyclosilicate mineral. Silicates are minerals which contain the elements Silicon (a light gray shiny metal) and Oxygen (a colorless gas). Together, these two elements form a tetrahedron – a shape similar to a pyramid – with a Silicon atom in the center and Oxygen atoms at each of the four corners. These tetrahedra connect with other chemical structures, in six different ways, to form various minerals and rocks. There are six main groups of Silicate minerals. Eudialyte belongs to the Cyclosilicate group. The Eudialyte sold on the market may in fact be Eudialyte, but it is could be another member of the Eudialyte group, which contains over 30 very closely-related minerals with a similar chemical formula. Eudialyte is by far the most well-known member.
History of Eudialyte
Eudialyte is a relative new stone for the metaphysical community and as such is not included in any of the older lapidaries, texts that describe gemstones and their powers. It’s name comes from the Greek, eu dialytos meaning “well decomposable” a reference to the fact that this mineral readily dissolves in acid. Eudialyte was formally described in 1819 from a deposit in Greenland. Other significant deposits were soon identified on the Kola Peninsula of Russia and on Mont Sainte-Hilaire in Quebec, Canada. More recently, Eudialyte deposits have been found in Brazil, various countries in southern Africa, and in Arkansas, USA.
The Sami, the indigenous people of the Arctic Circle, whose territory includes the Kola Penninsula of Russia as well as northern Finland, Norway, and Sweden, have known about Eudialyte for many centuries. To them, Eudialyte’s proper name is “Sami Blood”. According to Sami folklore, once upon a time the Sami fought with Swedish soldiers and many of Sami were killed. Their blood was scattered across the tundra were the battle took place. This blood froze and formed the beautiful red stone.
