It is worth noting that the nuummite stone has several spellings, such as nuumite, numite and nuummite. The commonly used spelling is nuummite.

This stone is named after the place where it was found. In fact, this stone comes from a mountainous, remote and steep region north of Nuuk in Greenland. This deposit was discovered in 1982 and is still being mined today. But the extraction conditions are complicated and dangerous.

Almost identical rocks have been found in Canada, Spain and the United States, but their quality does not reach that of Greenland. This variety remains rare and precious. It has the quality required in the manufacture of jewelry.

Scientists say that nuummite is the oldest mineral on Earth. The formation of this stone dates back more than 3 billion years with volcanic origins.

Its composition is unique, based on antophyllite, a mineral species from the silicate group, and gedrite, a mineral belonging to the amphibole group and consisting of iron, calcium or magnesium silicates. In this case, nuummite is therefore a magnesium and iron silicate.

Nuummite comes in the form of anthracite gray to black crystals with iridescent gold reflections. It presents an iridescence phenomenon due to the passage of light in the thin layers of the rock. The iridescence of this stone is red, yellow, green, purple, blue or silver.

It is metamorphic influences that have contributed to the incredible mix of crystals that give nuummite its unique appearance. It is these beautiful iridescent reflections that are sought after by collectors and jewelers. True nuummite remains rare, as its supply is complicated.

Nuummite has a hardness of 2.8 to 3.3 on the Mohs scale, making it a relatively soft stone. In comparison, diamond has the highest hardness, at 10 on the same scale.

For the record, this stone is also nicknamed “sorcerer’s stone” or “magician’s stone”. It is attributed various magical powers. Furthermore, this mineral has been known to the Vikings since the 10th century. However, there is no myth or legend about this fabulous stone.

The main deposits are located in Greenland and Finland.

Nuummite is an extremely powerful stone with many virtues. It allows introspection and understanding of buried traumas.
