Thulite

Thule is an ancient Celtic name for the northernmost archipelago of the Atlantic, later applied to Scandinavia. Ultima Thule, as I learned from my Scandinavian father when I was very young, was a term used to indicate places beyond the known world.

Thulite is always pink and is also known as Manganoan zoisite. This mineral was originally found and described in Norway. It is also found in Australia, the United States and South Africa.

Thulite crystal is said to be helpful for those who need to perform, and also for those who need to be lifted from a state of exhaustion. Some believe it has healing properties, and can help to stimulate and regenerate the body. It is associated with the solar plexus, heart and throat chakras.
