The traditional form of the magatama, cut from Thulite!
Magatamas are among the oldest known forms of gemstones and amulets; historical finds from burial mounds are known from around 1000 BC. Even today, the shape of the magatama is still important as a popular jewelry symbol. The symbol represents the human spirit and is considered a powerful amulet that provides effective protection against evil spirits.
Translated from Japanese, magatama means "curved pearl".
Size of the magatama made of Thulite 4.0 x 1.8 x 0.8 cm, diameter of the hole 2.5 mm.
Thulite, also known as pink or red Zoisite, is used in gemstone healing to help overcome challenges. With the support of the mineral, it is easier to jump over one's own shadow and live out one's own wishes and fantasies.
The mineral Thulite was given its name in 1823 by the London mineralogist Henry James Brooke. It was named after the legendary island of Thule, the northern end of the world in Germanic mythology. The name was probably chosen because at the beginning of the 19th century there was only one known localities of Thulite in Norway. The spellings Tulit, Thulith, Thuilit or Thullit are therefore not correct.
Hello! My name is Marco Schreier and I am the founder of the Mineralienhandlung GmbH of the same name. Creativity and stones have been a topic for me since I was a child, and they first shaped my free time and then my entire professional life.
As a child, this began playfully with collecting and crafting with stones I had found myself and with the first minerals that my grandfather brought me from the Alps.
