Pinolith or Pinolite
This is gray and white cabochon stone known as Pinolith or Pinolite.
The rare semiprecious stone Pinolith or Pinolite was actually first discovered in 1873.
It comes from only one location in the world-the magnesite deposit at Sunk, Hohentauern, Niedere Tauern, Styria, Austria.
Pinolith was mined in WWII for its high manganese content.
It is a metamorphic rock containing magnesite as white crystals in a gray dolomite and graphite matrix.
It is named Pinolith or Pinolite because the magnesite inclusions resemble pine cones in shape.
This material is a 3.5 to 4.5 hardness and quite stunning when polished.
Metaphysical Healing Properties of Pinolith:
It is believed that Pinolith is a calming stone that helps reduce feelings of loneliness, stress and anxiety. It is also said it might help with insomnia.
