A favorite emotional healing stone for bedside tables.
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.
These raw pieces come from Mpumalanga, South Africa. It's soft (Mohs 1.5-2.5), so handle it with a little care, keep it dry, and store it in its own pouch so harder stones don't scratch it.
It was first described in Tasmania in 1910.
In crystal traditions, stichtite is often associated with 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, keep it nearby during quiet moments or by the bed for rest. Work with it the way that fits your own practice.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
Offered as a starting point for your own practice.
Stichtite sits at 1.5-2.5 on the Mohs scale, among the softest stones we carry, so handle it gently and keep it dry. Long soaks dull the surface, so keep any water contact brief and dry it fully.

You'll receive pieces from the same batch photographed, weighed to the amount you choose. Every piece passes our quality control and meets or exceeds what you see in the photos. Single specimens are listed separately and say so.
Each piece measures 1 to 2 inches on its longest side and weighs 20 to 50 grams. About 12 to 20 pieces per pound at this size, and each option shows its piece count.
Grades reflect visual quality within a batch. A is standard, with typical inclusions. AA shows stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing. AAA is the top 10 to 15 percent of a batch. Every lot is inspected and graded by our team in Rockville, Maryland, not taken on the supplier’s word.
This batch is from Mpumalanga, South Africa. It came to us through a direct source, one of the sourcing models we publish and stand behind.
Every lot is inspected and graded by our expert team before it is listed, not taken on the supplier's word. AA on this listing means stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing than the batch average. Pieces that miss the mark never reach the shop.
How We GradeWe work directly with the mine or workshop, with no intermediaries in between. The relationship is personal, pricing is transparent, and we can speak to each batch. We say what we know and where our tracing stops.
Our Sourcing StandardsEverything we sell is natural in origin: never synthetic, never dyed, never coated. Where a stone has been heated, irradiated or stabilized, which is common in the trade for some species, we say so on the listing. If a piece is not as described, return it within 90 days of delivery.
