Description
Scolecite
Scolecite is a calcium silicate crystal that is part of the Zeolite group of minerals. It forms in the most amazing fibrous, needle-like structures. It can have colours like red, green, and pink but most commonly it is white or colourless. Some of the best examples come from mines in the Nasik region of India but it is also found as far afield as Scotland, Brazil, Peru, Germany, the US, and Iceland.
This special crystal is used to guide you on your path to finding your spiritual nature. It activates the Crown Chakra and connects you to higher realms and higher consciousness. Keep this crystal close as you sleep for lucid dreaming, emergency of ideas, and messages from your spirit guides. It quietly encourages the best version of yourself to emerge and brings with it an innate sense of inner peace.
Conscious Crystal Sourcing
At House of Formlab we always try to source our crystals in an ethically minded way. We only choose high-quality pieces and work with trusted and reputable suppliers who also take ethics in the crystal supply chain very seriously.
Many of our suppliers buy directly from the mines and they undertake regular site visits during buying trips to ensure working conditions and low impact environmental protections are as claimed. None of our suppliers knowingly buy from mines with any child labour, poor or dangerous working conditions. Certain countries are known for dubious practices and we avoid sourcing from those regions.
Often crystals are not what the miners are digging for. More often than not they are byproducts found alongside more valuable elements such as are used in our mobile phones and TVs. This makes supply chains complicated but where we can we avoid minerals and crystals known to come from this type of operation.
Certificates are often hard to come by. There is still no overarching governing body which certifies crystals in the same way as diamonds are now tracked and certified – mainly due to the difference in value. The more outcry there is, the more chance is idea will gain traction. So keep asking and campaigning for ethically sourced crystals and together we can change the crystal universe.
Buying crystals is a learning process. We will make mistakes, everyone does, but rest assured we are trying our best to make the right choices and provide you with the crystal you can be proud of.
With crystal infused love,
