The natural fibers of ulexite conduct light along their long axes by internal reflection and is rated at a 2.5 on the Mohs hardness scale. Metaphysically, Ulexite is thought to help to react with the nervous system to produce a calm, relaxing feeling and decrease hyperactivity.

Unakite: Unakite is an altered granite composed of pink orthoclase feldspar, green epidote, and generally colorless quartz. Unakite can be found as pebbles or cobbles from glacial drift in the beach rock on the shores of Lake Superior and is rated between 6 and 7 on the Mohs hardness scale. Unakite is thought to metaphysically activate mobility for those with distinct goals and help balance “over active” will.

Variscite: Variscite is a hydrated aluminum phosphate mineral and is rated at 4.5 on the Mohs hardness scale. Variscite is a relatively rare phosphate mineral and is sometimes confused with turquoise; however, variscite is usually greener in color. Metaphysically, Variscite is thought to strengthen the heart center, promote courage, and self-reliance.

Wulfenite: Wulfenite is a lead molybdate mineral and is rated at a 3 on the Mohs hardness scale. Wulfenite can be often found as thin tabular crystals with a bright orange-red to yellow-orange color, or sometimes brown. A noted locality for wulfenite is the Red Cloud Mine in Arizona. Wulfenite is thought to metaphysically help recognize tension patterns and aid in releasing toxins from the physical body.

Zebra Jasper: Zebra Jasper is a sedimentary stone that formed over 600 million years ago and is rated at a 7 on the Mohs hardness scale. Zebra Jasper was formed when detrital clay deposits compacted into layers, which then created the characteristic red/beige or red/brown bandings. These bandings formed different patterns, such as straight lines, waves, and spots. Zebra Jasper is associated metaphysically with self-liberation and is thought to help to overcome resignation.
