Unique and Exotic Homemade Jewelry
Why? Our rings, bracelets and necklaces are made with stones some of which are considered rare. One of these stones Lodolite is found only in Brazil, making this jewelry Unique and Exotic. We also have rare stones with special rutile and dendritic inclusions.
Lodolite is a term used for a variety of quartz with mineral inclusions, from Minas Gerais, Brazil. In (Greek) Lodolite means mud stone or stone from the mud. We’re not too sure this term applies all that well to Lodolite. Lodolite has the appearance of an underwater coral reef. The mineral inclusions are very attractive and differ from stone to stone. The colors of the inclusions can range from green, pink, yellow, brown, white, red and multi colors. These colors and mixes of colors come from three main types of minerals, Chlorite, Iron, and calcite. Quartz includes a variety of stones and, colorless or crystal quartz is the most common. Brazil is a major supplier of crystal quartz in the world, especially when it comes to varieties with mineral inclusions. Quartz is found abundantly throughout the world, including in the United States. The word "crystal" comes from the Greek word for "ice" and was believed to be eternally frozen. The single quartz crystal is a six-sided prism; however this is not always how it is formed. Sometimes it is found in veins, seams, or pockets containing the massive variety. The colors of the inclusions within the stone can range from green, pink, yellow, brown, white, red and multiple other colours.
Lodolite is a type of Quartz crystal with unique inclusions of many possible colors and types. No stone is ever the same. Often it has the look of gardens, landscapes, or underwater scenes. This is why it is known to offer a view into another world. Gazing into this stone is said to bring about a cosmic shift of consciousness. It harmonizes the higher vibrational energies of the aura, light body or subtle body. Lodolite is a very powerful journeying stone on all levels; cosmic, soul and personal. Shamans use this crystal to induce visionary experiences and healing. “The Shamanic Dream Stone” This is one of those stones that can be beautiful, but the word ''interesting'' is how I would best describe it.
This is one of the most beautiful stones I've ever seen in jewelry. I guarantee that this stone is in my top 10 of the most incredible stones I've ever seen. If you get the right rock, cut and shape, the stone seems a little microcosmic world in time was captured and placed under a magnified glass, because of this, they are known by other names, Garden, Landscape or Scenic Quartz because of the wonderful "natural" pictures that can be found in the stone. These enchanted crystals contain millions of Lodolite formed many years ago in only one location in the world, the Minas Gerais area of Brazil.
Rutile Quartz is Rutile needles inside of Quartz crystal. Rutile can come in a variety of colours and has an extremely high refractive index which is a great example where an inclusion can add value to a stone. The microscopic inclusions of these in quartz, tourmaline, ruby, sapphire and other gemstones can produce amazing light effects. Examples are shown in cat's eye and asterisms (stars). Rutile Quartz is formed at high temperatures and pressure. Although in a stable state, the temperatures cool and pressures ease and the large needle inclusions become trapped inside the crystals. It can be found in Brazil, USA and Africa. Rutilated quartz is quartz stone with rutile enclosures. Rutile is a mineral that is made up mostly of titanium dioxide, or TiO2. As a mineral, rutile is very high on the refractive index and disperses more than almost any other mineral. This means that when rutile appears in other minerals, it almost always appears in long, thin shots of color. Rutilus is, in fact, the Latin word for red. The mineral gained this name because some specimens are a lovely deep red color. Rutile, however, can also appear in brown and gray tones.
Quartz is one of the most common mineral on our planet. In fact, it makes up over 10% of planet Earth’s crust. Furthermore, quartz is quite widespread. It can be found in almost every geographical environment. It is understandable that such an abundant mineral comes in a number of variations. These include rose quartz, smoky quartz, and Rutilated quartz. The quartz family, including Rutilated quartz can be found as far away as Brazil, Madagascar, Australia, Norway, Kazakhstan, and Pakistan. It can also be found in the United States. Many of the mountain ranges in America contain large deposits of quartz.
Crystal Dendrite is a crystal that develops with a typical multi-branching tree-like form. Dendritic crystal growth is illustrated by snowflake formation and frost patterns on a window. Dendritic crystallization forms a natural fractal pattern. Dendritic crystals can form from growth instabilities that occur when the growth rate is limited by the rate of diffusion of solute atoms to the interface. In this case, there must be a concentration gradient from the supersaturated value in the solution to the concentration in equilibrium with the crystal at the surface. Any protuberance that develops is accompanied by steeper concentration gradients at its tip. This increases the diffusion rate to the tip. In opposition to this is the action of the surface tension tending to flatten the protuberance and setting up a flux of solute atoms from the protuberance out to the sides. However, overall, the protuberance becomes amplified. This process occurs again and again until a dendrite is produced. Dendrite Agate is found in Brazil, India, Madagascar, the USA, Mexico and Kazakhstan.
Dendrites look like fossils, but they are not the remains of living things. Dendrites are made of dark Manganese minerals, usually that form in a branching pattern. Dendrites are found between the layers of stratified rocks, as in this Utah sandstone, and within bodies of Agate. Dendrites or Moss Agate are very popular gemstones. Dendrites can fool you. They look just like fossilized plant matter. However, they are mineral formations, not plant fossils — and one of my favorite mineral formations! The word dendrite comes from the Greek word “Dendron”, meaning “tree”, and also describes the branched projections of a nerve cell.
A dendrite is a superficial deposit of manganese oxide that has crystallized in a multi-branching tree-like pattern. This pattern is what fools us into thinking they are plant fossils. Dendrites form as water rich in manganese and iron flows along tiny cracks between layers of limestone and other rock types. Dendrites may also consist of iron oxides and other minerals, and can also form in quartz materials like agate and jasper. When it is found in agate and opal, it is called “dendritic agate” and “dendritic opal.
”
Metaphysically, stones with dendrites resonate with blood vessels and nerves. They help heal the nervous system and conditions such as neuralgia. Dendrites can help with skeletal disorders, reverse capillary degeneration and stimulate the circulatory system. It is the stone of plenitude; it also helps create a peaceful environment and encourage the enjoyment of each moment.
Dendrites deepen your connection to the earth and can bring stability in times of strife or confusion. We have some beautiful dendrite specimens of dendrites in marl (calcareous mudstone), a sedimentary rock from Solenhofen, Germany that are 160 million years old. Each piece is different, a mini still life in stone: framed silhouettes of trees, ferns, seaweeds, and bushes. These dendrites are a great gift for anyone with a green thumb or who has a strong connection to nature.
