Thulite bracelet Norway A (5-6mm balls)

Thulite is a stone belonging to the zoisite family, composed of aluminum and calcium silicates. It owes its name to the legendary island of Thule and the Greek word “lithos,” which means “stone,” literally translating to “Thule stone.”

It is also known by other names, such as rosaline or pink zoisite. It is sometimes confused with rhodonite. Thulite is a stone particularly appreciated by collectors and in the world of lithotherapy.

This stone is rich in manganese, which gives it its beautiful pink color. The concentration of manganese varies the intensity of the pink, making it more or less vibrant. Thulite is often speckled with white calcite or quartz. It is compact and composed of dense crystals. This pink mineral forms in cold environments with high concentrations of lithium and manganese, through a process of crystallization.

It is often cut into cabochon shapes. At the same time, it is also widely used in sculptures, bracelets, pendants, etc.

Thulite mining is usually done by hand using simple tools and ancient techniques. Due to the distance between villages and production areas, it is transported by helicopter or all-terrain vehicles.

Thulite was discovered in 1820 in the Norwegian town of Sauland, in the Provence of Telemark. Its name is a tribute to the legendary and mystical Scandinavian island of Thule.

Incidentally, the Greek explorer Pytheas of Massalia (present-day Marseille) was the first to write about Thule after his voyages between 330 and 320 BC. He describes Thule as an island, the last of the British archipelago. It is believed to be Iceland or Norway.
