Belomorit stone - description, magical and healing properties, who suits, the price of jewelry

Ornamental

Belomorit stone looks like a sea drop shining under the moonlight - a kind of feldspar. Sometimes a mineral is incorrectly called a moonstone for its external resemblance (the same pearl tint), but these are different natural stones, and it is not difficult for a professional to distinguish one from another. The popular name for the gem is Fisheye. Indeed, there is a resemblance.

Origin of the mineral

Academician A. Fersman, world famous in geochemistry and mineralogy, is famous as the discoverer of Belomorite (as well as a number of others). It happened at the beginning of the 20th century. The name reveals the place of concentration of the stone - the coast of the White Sea.

The crystallographer poetically described the radiance of the mineral as mysterious and even magical. In the chips of the gem, the scientist discerned reflections of iridescent silk. On the thinnest cut of the mineral, under the influence of polarized light, I saw the smoothness of a white linen tablecloth.

Of course, the scientist also revealed the qualitative characteristics of the stone. Belomorite is formed when the erupted magma cools. It occurs in the form of thick plates or columns. It is also found in layers of granite.

A number of mineralogists attribute the gem to varieties of selenite, while others point to a similarity in composition with a labrador, or sun stone.

Deposits and production

In our country, a semi-precious stone has been found in several places. Deposits are being developed:

  • in the coastal zone of the White Sea in Karelia;
  • in the Middle Ural region;
  • Baikal region;
  • on the Kola Peninsula.

The development of deposits has been carried out for less than a hundred years, but the short period did not prevent the stone from standing on a par with other semi-precious minerals known to mankind since ancient times.

Belomorit was also found in America (South and North), India, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Kenya, Norway, on the island of Madagascar. But in these places - in small quantities.

physical properties

Outwardly, the stone resembles sea salt. If you manage to look inside, you get the impression that you see a winter landscape, it is not for nothing that in Karelia the stone is compared with frost.

The glow, which Fersman wrote about, is a manifestation of adularescence caused by the scattering of light on stone chips. In ultraviolet light, the orange luminescence of Belomorite is noticeable.

When the color of the sun is reflected in a gem, a glow seems to come from the depths. This is due to the thin layer structure of the mineral, when light is beautifully refracted at the border of each layer, creating a fantastic combination of iridescent colors into even white. The answer is that the layers, due to their specific composition, do not merge together, but they do not fall apart either, since they are strongly compressed in the rock.
