Delaware – SILLIMANITE


I don’t know about you, but this is a new one for me.  Although technically classified as a mineral, Sillimanite can be found in gemstone quality.  Sillimanite has been found in a variety of colors from colorless to gray-white, yellowish, brownish and bluish but is rarely transparent. It is primarily used as an industrial mineral in the manufacture of furnaces, ovens, ceramics; and glass.  Native Americans used Sillimanite in the making of tools.

Sillimanite aligns ones energies allowing for keen focus and concentration in areas of interest.  It assists one with tasks that can be overwhelming and seemingly impossible to complete.  Since it’s taken me over 7 years to complete this 1 year project, this would have been a good stone to start with.

The vibe emerging from this stone encourage feelings of euphoria and its energy can make you feel good to be alive!

The Sillimanite energy can be helpful to reduce stress and depression and can boost feelings of confidence and hope.  When worn correctly, it is said to help alleviate problems with glaucoma, cataracts and vision problems such as near or far-sightedness.

The addition of Sillimanite to my necklace will ensure that it doesn’t take another year to complete this blog.

Delaware recognized Sillimanite as the official state mineral in 1977.
