Zoisite Stone
Features and Benefits
Zoisite is one of the precious stones that can be transparent or translucent, green in its pure form without additives. It is a gemstone formed between metamorphic rocks and pegmatite rocks that we call linear granite. It can also be combined with other stones and minerals in different colors such as Grey, White, Blue, Purple, Pink. Zoisite, which was mined in Switzerland, India, Pakistan, Austria, Norway, Italy, America, Australia, Tanzania, took its name from Sigmund Zois, who first found it.
Zoisite contains Calcium, Aluminum, Silicon, Oxygen, and Hydrogen. However, in very small amounts, Iron, Manganese, Magnesium, Chromium, Titanium, Sodium, Vanadium, Strontium, and Water are also found.
Zoisite is a transparent stone in its pure form. It turns opaque when it combines with Chermakit (Tschermakite). Chermakit causes Zoisite to become opaque. As a result of this fusion, the Zoisite stone turns into an opaque green stone with black particles in it. Zoisite is a stone of inspiration and health. It has positive effects on the person who uses it.
