Attributes
- Appearance: Atlantisite's beauty lies in its composition: vibrant purple Stichtite, a carbonate of chromium and magnesium, naturally occurring within a field of beautiful lime green Serpentine. The purple tones within the Stichtite can vary from light lilac to deep violet.
- Origin: Mined from metamorphic rock formations.
-Hardness: Stichtite, a component of atlantisite, has a hardness of
around 2 on the Mohs scale, while serpentine has a hardness of 2.5 to 5.5, adding to the complexity of processing the stone.
- Healing Properties (Emotional): promotes emotional healing and tranquility by gently clearing the heart.
- Healing Properties (Physical): aids in the release of negative energy, reduces stress and anxiety, and fosters compassion and forgiveness.
- Altar Uses: spiritual growth, inner peace & harmony, ancient wisdom
- Chakra: Heart & Crown chakras
- Astrological Sign: Virgo
- Care Instructions: Caring for your Stitchtite / Atlantisite involves understanding its somewhat porous and soft nature. Polishing can help maintain its vibrant appearance, and we recommend doing so around once a month. For the best results and to avoid potential harm, we suggest using thin, odorless natural oils like grapeseed or jojoba instead of petroleum-based mineral oils.
 
Authenticity Tips
Color Combination: Genuine Atlantisite (Stichtite in Serpentine) should clearly display the vibrant purple of Stichtite mixed with a lime green or darker green Serpentine. Be wary of pieces that are entirely one color or have unnaturally bright, uniform purple/green that looks dyed.
Inclusions & Pattern: The purple Stichtite should appear as distinct patches, veins, or inclusions within the green Serpentine matrix. Look for natural variations and intergrowths, rather than a completely blended or painted appearance.
Softness: Both Stichtite and Serpentine are relatively soft minerals. Stichtite is around 1.5-2.5 on the Mohs scale, and Serpentine is 2.5-5. This means it can be scratched by harder materials.
Natural Luster: The stones typically have a waxy to greasy luster on the Serpentine areas and a more dull or pearly luster on the Stichtite. Be cautious of overly glassy or perfectly smooth finishes that don't match its natural softness.
Rarity: While not common, it's generally not subjected to common artificial treatments like dyeing or heat. Be suspicious of very cheap pieces or those with unlikely perfection.
