Geology & Formation:

Brewsterite occurs as a secondary mineral in hydrothermal veins, particularly those in strontium-rich basaltic environments. The Strontian area is geologically notable for its diverse mineralization, particularly baryte and lead ores. Brewsterite crystals form in open cavities where slow cooling allows for the development of fine orthorhombic crystals, often associated with zeolite-group minerals.

Whitesmiths Mine, now a rare mineral locality, produced fine examples of Brewsterite in association with celadonite, calcite, and baryte. Its rarity and historical value make specimens from this locality highly sought after.

Crystal Type & Species:

  • Mineral Group: Zeolite Group
  • Chemical Formula (Typical – Brewsterite-Sr): (Sr,Ba)Al2Si6O16•7H2O
  • Crystal System: Monoclinic
  • Hardness: 4 – 5 on Mohs scale
  • Color: White, grey, or transparent with vitreous to silky luster

Metaphysical Properties:

Brewsterite is said to promote clarity and receptivity. As a zeolite mineral, it is used by crystal healers to purify energy, cleanse spaces, and aid in spiritual growth. Though metaphysical uses are secondary to its geological value, its rarity adds to its energetic uniqueness.

A rare opportunity to own a UK-sourced Brewsterite from an iconic mineralogical site. Ideal for collectors, educators, geology enthusiasts, and those who appreciate the natural beauty of rare crystal formations.
