GEOLOGICAL

Inesite is a rare Calcium Manganese Silicate. Its name stems from the Greek Ίνες (ines) in reference to its fibrous habit, coined by Adolf Schneider in 1887. It occurs in colour hues ranging from browns to ginger oranges to reds and pinks. Inesite forms in various habits including fan-shaped clusters, fibrous to acicular, massive, botryoidal, and chisel-shaped terminated crystals no larger than 2cm.

The Kalahari Manganese Field of South Africa, at both the Wessels Mine in Hotazel and the N’Chwaning Mines in Kuruman, are considered noteworthy localities that produced some exceptional specimens a decade ago, now highly sought after by collectors.

 

Calcite is a calcium carbonate mineral. It is colourless or white when pure but is found in a rainbow of different colours depending on trace elements present. Calcite is identified by its low Mohs hardness (3) and its high reactivity with even weak acids, such as vinegar.

Inesite

Inesite is a little-known rare mineral. It comes to your awareness when you are ready to work with this crystal. Inesite resonates with the heart chakra and root chakra. Thus aiding you in opening to Universal love while offering deep, centring grounding and earthing.

Inesite is a stone that brings balance and flow to how you move through life. Plus balancing your energetic body. It can help you to truly live from your heart centre, with joy and exuberance, while remaining practical and logical.

Safety and survival issues related to childhood trauma or scarcity while growing up can be addressed with this gentle crystal. Those who battle with oversensitivity and quickly feel hurt will also benefit from Inesite’s energy.

 

Calcite

The Calcite family are powerful amplifiers and can cleanse the energy of a room simply by being there.

It’s a wonderful stone for those suffering from lack of motivation or hopelessness.
