Magnesite
Description: Magnesite is a mineral that is often mistaken for turquoise due to its light color and veining. It ranges from white to pale yellow, but can be dyed various colors to enhance its appearance for jewelry making. Naturally, it has a dull luster but can be polished to a high sheen. Magnesite is primarily composed of magnesium carbonate and forms when magnesium-rich rocks are altered by weathering or hydrothermal processes.
Fun Fact: Magnesite is known for its calming properties. It's said to aid in deep relaxation and meditation by promoting a peaceful state of mind. In metaphysical beliefs, it’s thought to enhance creative visualization and bring a deep sense of tranquility. Interestingly, despite its often artificial coloring for aesthetic purposes in jewelry, its natural form is praised for its simplicity and soothing qualities.
