Pectolite Stone

Pectolite

Pectolite is a white to gray mineral, It crystallizes in the triclinic system typically occurring in radiated or fibrous crystalline masses. Pectolite, as mineral, is confused with other minerals like okenite, wollastonite, artinite and few others. The name “Pectolite” has been derived from the Greek word “Pectos” which mean “well put together”, and lithos – “stone”.

This semi-precious stone occurs in white or colorless, gray, light yellow, light brown, light blue, and light pink.

It is believed that pectolite softens, enlightens and even heals in a physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual way. It was first described in 1828 at Mt. Baldo, Trento Province, Italy. Few decades ago, in the Dominician Republic, an ocean blue variety of pectolite was discovered. It was given the name of Larimar. Even this is popular in the semi-precious stone world.
