Geological Information.
Danburite is a rare calcium boron silicate mineral with the chemical formula CaB2(SiO4)2. It crystallises in the orthorhombic system, forming elongated prismatic crystals with exceptional clarity. Its appearance is often colourless to pale shades, closely resembling quartz. First discovered in Danbury, Connecticut, USA in 1839 by Charles Upham Shephard, this mineral was named after its type locality. Today, the most prized and highly sought-after specimens are sourced from Charcas, San Luis Potosi, Mexico, famous for producing large, transparent, and gem-quality crystals.
Danburite shares crystal symmetry and similar form to topaz, but differs chemically, as topaz contains aluminium and fluorine. Due to its brilliance, dispersion, and durability, danburite has been cut and faceted for use in fine jewellery, offering an alternative to diamonds and quartz.
Metaphysical & spiritual Properties
Danburite is considered one of the highest vibration crystals known in metaphysical circles. It is often referred to as a stone that “connects the heart of the mind with the mind of the heart”. It has been carefully selected for its clarity, shape, and natural beauty. Please note that colours may vary slightly depending on lighting and screen settings. All measurements are approximate due to the natural irregularities of mineral specimens.
Each specimen is 100% Genuine and includes a Certificate of Authenticity. Once this specific crystal is sold, the listing will be updated with a new, carefully chosen specimen.
