Read our Sourcing Standards →Stichtite is a soft pink-to-lilac carbonate, often found embedded in green serpentine where the two together are sold as atlantisite. The pink is gentle and the overall effect reads almost like stone candy. It was first described in Tasmania in 1910.
This piece comes from Mpumalanga, South Africa. This is a softer mineral (1.5-2.5 Mohs). Dry storage, gentle handling, and don't let it knock around with quartz or tourmaline.
Stichtite has long been used in practices around working through difficult feelings at your own pace, coming back to yourself with kindness, and gentle, patient care for yourself. It's traditionally linked to the heart and crown chakras. If that resonates, set one on a shelf where your eye lands on it during the day. There's no single right way to carry it.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
