Amethyst Cacoxenite

Amethyst cacoxenite is as remarkable for what it displays as for what it keeps hidden. At first glance, a rich amethyst canvas is splashed with golden cacoxenite, the two most visible of the seven minerals that coexist in the stone. In some pieces, purple fades to smoky or clear quartz. Microscopic traces of other minerals swirl inside, mostly unseen, surfacing as delicate strokes of rutile, metallic drops of goethite, and vivid blooms of red lepidocrocite. Healers believe that an even more powerful force dwells within this so-called Super Seven stone—a spiritual being drawing from the divine influences of the seven minerals around it and waiting to provide guidance and wisdom.

Even the ground from which amethyst cacoxenite is gathered is held in reverence. This iron-rich region deep in the heart of Brazilian mining country is known as Espirito Santo—the Holy Spirit. The fluctuating temperatures and pressures in this earthen crucible pulled together these seven metaphysically powerful minerals, creating a stone of immense spirituality. In steps, Super Seven lifts the consciousness to higher levels. First comes the peace and positivity, the letting go of struggles old and new. Then comes the openness, the ability to access and absorb new knowledge. And finally, the clarity, an understanding of one’s ultimate purpose in life. The path to enlightenment is revealed with amethyst cacoxenite, the Super Seven stone.
