Eudialyte - description and varieties of stone, properties, who suits the Zodiac

Eudialyte stone belongs to the group of silicates - a mineral, a ring silicate of sodium, calcium, zirconium. It boasts a unique structure that is not found anywhere else in nature. It literally attracts people of all ages.

History and origin

Eudialyte is of igneous origin and occurs in agpaitic nepheline syenites and their pegmatites. It is a rock-forming mineral in eudialytic lujavrites of the Lovozero massif (Kola Peninsula).

The name goes back to ancient Greek roots: eu - "good", dialitos - "decomposable", that is, well decomposed, easily soluble. Eudialyte can be easily melted in any acid (except hydrochloric). It can also be affected by high ambient temperatures. If the mineral is kept in direct sunlight for a long time, nothing will remain of it at all.

REFERENCE! The scientific name for the stone was given by the German chemist Friedrich Stromeyer (1818).

The second name of eudialyte is Sami blood. One beautiful legend is connected with this: once the Swedes attacked the Sami land, but received a worthy rebuff. However, not all Sami leaders survived such an onslaught. And in place of their shed blood, stones appeared: they became real talismans for people.

On the Kola Peninsula, it has a third name - "Lapp blood".

Stone deposits

If we talk about a stone deposit in a scientific language, it is worth mentioning volcanic activity. The mineral was formed as an igneous rock. The largest place of eudialyte deposits is located on the Kola Peninsula. It can also be found in the following geographic locations:

• USA;
• Austria;
• SOUTH AFRICA;
• Canada;
• Greenland;
• Norway;
• the island of Madagascar.

Small specimens of stone are practically not found; large sizes predominate.

physical properties

The main characteristics of eudialyte can be described as follows:

• The stone is a ring silicate of calcium, sodium and strontium.
• In its pure form, it is almost never found. Titanium or potassium can act as impurities.
• Eudialyte is recognized as semi-precious.
• The nugget has a glassy luster and a transparent granular structure (partially or completely).
• The mineral is soft.
• Representative of the alkaline group of rocks.
• The vast voids of the stone are occupied by water particles and anions.

He often attracts jewelers with his glow inside, but processing eudialyte can be very dangerous - due to the inclusion of radioactive elements in its composition. The greatest activity of radiation is seen in stones of bright red color.

Varieties and colors

In nature, most red and brown shades of stone; they have white patches on them. Outwardly, eudialyte resembles a pomegranate. There are also purple, brown and yellow-brown specimens.

Depending on the deposit and color, several subspecies of eudialyte are distinguished:

• Barsanovite - Khibiny massif, tones from red-brown to rare yellow-green.
• Eucolite - Norwegian deposits, dark colors predominate due to iron oxide.
• Ikranite - dumps of the Lovozero massif, the mineral occurs in the form of yellow grains.
• Rastsvetaevit - Khibiny massif, reddish-pink shades.

The colors will directly depend on the formation process, as well as on the depth under which the stone was located and the location.

Applications

For the manufacture of jewelry, eudialyte is not used very actively. There are two reasons for this: the rarity of the mineral and the presence of strontium in its composition. It is not allowed to process large stones. But because of its magmatic origin, the nugget is still considered a valuable raw material in terms of finding rare metals.

The most common form of cut stones is a polished cabochon, which is then inserted into rings, earrings and pendants. Only this method allows you to maximize the play of color impurities contained in the mineral. In the second half of the 19th century, a massive flourishing of spiritism took place - magic balls began to be made from large crystals.

In stone-cutting, the mineral is used to make souvenirs, candlesticks, figurines and ashtrays. Masters generously decorate various products with eudialyte. Beads go well with the stone.

Medicinal properties of eudialyte

Official medicine is wary of stone treatment, but fans of non-standard methods of fighting diseases are ready to challenge the opposite point of view.

Jewelry with mineral

Eudialyte cannot be worn simultaneously with other minerals: it is able to enhance the magical properties of foreign stones, which is not always a plus. After all, many minerals, along with positive properties, are endowed with negative ones.

In order for the stone to have the opportunity to maximize its potential, it is best for women to wear eudialyte in a silver frame in the form of jewelry (rings or bracelets), and for men - in the form of a key ring.

Given the radioactivity of the mineral, it should be kept away from the thyroid gland and those areas of the skin on which moles are present.

Eudialyte is also known as a jewelry "double stone". This applies to those specimens where the predominant shares are immediately occupied by 2 minerals - eudialyte and some other (for example, apatite). After processing, a unique white-red gem is obtained. It is highly regarded by collectors.

How to distinguish a craft

This stone is rarely faked. It is rare, but it does not enjoy high consumer demand. To be 100% sure of the authenticity of eudialyte, you can bring it to the light. The nugget should radiate red, as if droplets of blood are visible on the gray stone. Fake stones will not have this effect.

How to wear and care

Eudialyte needs careful care. The stones subtly feel the care of the owner: over time, they will definitely reciprocate:

• Eudialyte is stored in a cool place: the stone may not tolerate high temperatures.
• Wash it in cool running water; no additional cleaning agents are required.
• Be careful when wearing: the stone is soft and easy to scratch.
• If washing the eudialyte does not bring tangible results, take it to a professional jeweler for cleaning. The specialist should help.
• Be extremely careful: if the eudialyte is damaged, the level of radiation around it may increase.
• Store it in a soft bag, which is best stored in a dark place.
• Be sure to remove your jewelry if you are going to play sports or visit the beach.
