Stichtite

Stichtite is a hydrated magnesium chromium carbonate hydroxide mineral, which can be usually found in igneous and metamorphic rock. Its colors range from a light pink, hot pink, to a very deep purple color. It is often found together with Serpentine. It was named after Robert Carl Sticht, a mine owner in Tasmania, Australia, who discovered it in 1910. A stone of peace, Stichtite encourages one to be more compassionate towards others as well as ourselves. The ultimate self-care crystal.
