Shattuckite

Shattuckite is a copper silicate found in oxide zones of major copper mines. It is often found with other copper ores such as Chrysocolla and/or Malachite. Its growth is fibrous or granular.

Shattuckite is named from where it was first found, i.e. the Shattuck mine, in Bisbee, Arizona. Until around 2003/2004, the Shattuckite Mine was the ONLY mine in the world producing this mineral. More recent finds are coming from the Congo area, South Africa.

The belief in the magical properties of the rocks and minerals is not new. Belief in the supernatural properties of rocks and minerals bringing peace, wellness and protection goes back beyond recorded history. There are ancient legends that trace rocks, minerals and crystals back to the creation of the Earth and the Universe. Most of my metaphysical information is taken from The Book of Stones-Who They Are and What They Teach, with permission from its co-author, Mr. Robert Simmons. Metaphysically Shattuckite is nown as the stone of truth. It is a soothing and calming stone for those who are highly judgmental, aggressive, or irresponsible.
