Stone Mania

Eudialyte was first discovered in 1819 in Greenland by the German professor of chemistry Frederich Stromeyer.  He named eudialyte after the two Greek words 'eu' meaning 'well' and 'dialytos' meaning 'decomposable'. This referred to the fact that eudialyte decomposes well in acids or actually dissolves completely.

Eudialyte is a very rare mineral and hence its locality proves useful in its correct identification.  Prominent sources for eudialyte include Mount Saint Hilaire in Canada and the Kola Peninsula in Russia.  It is also found in Greenland, Norway and Arkansas in the USA.

Mineralogists at the Canadian museum of nature and university of Copenhagen discovered that as many as forty six different chemical elements could be part of eudialyte’s crystal structure.  As a result of the study which was carried out, several new
varieties of eudialyte were discovered.

Eudialyte is one of the most desired stones for crystal healing.  It is believed to help the user to offer self love and aid in giving love to others while learning about forgiveness.  It is said to facilitate ESP and has also been used in the treatment of optic nerve disorders.  Eudialyte can help to replenish energy levels in cases of over exertion, it increases vitality, helps to cleanse the body and also helps with the regeneration of damaged organs particularly the pancreas and thyroid.

Eudialyte purifies the blood and can help to increase and revitalise personal strength.  It is a gemstone of the heart that can bring harmony into ones emotional life, encouraging confidence and providing inspiration and dispelling jealousy.  Eudialyte is excellent for helping to learn to trust others as well as our own judgement.  For those who are afraid of being hurt, it can be of great comfort.

Eudialyte helps one to better express their own emotions and to realise that we can and must learn from our own mistakes.  It can help with compulsive behaviour and thinking.

Eudialyte is one of our rarer gemstone varieties and is classified in many respected  publications as being scarce.

It is graded 5 to 5.5 on Mohs scale of mineral hardness
