The drilled rectangles of stichtite in Serpentine are approx. 3.0 x 2.0 cm in size; diameter of the hole approx. 3 mm.
In the olive-green matrix of Serpentine there are purple inclusions of Stichtite; therefore the mineral is also called Stichtite-Serpentinite or Atlantisite. As the raw material for the Flat Stone comes from Tasmania, Tasmanite is another name for the mineral. Other names are atlantasite or atlantisite.
Gemstone healing uses the stone to strengthen peace and serenity; it supports the making of decisions and their subsequent implementation.
Stichtite was first found and described in 1910 on the west coast of Tasmania (Australia) by A.S. Wesley, a chemist working for a mining company. The mineral was named after Robert Carl Sticht (1856 - 1922), the manager of the mine. Spellings such as stichite or stichite are therefore incorrect.
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. Later, a fascination for processing, sawing, grinding, designing and artistic work with gemstones emerged. With our Chili Creative ® brand, we managed to build up a range developed by experts from our wholesale business and our production sites in Asia.
