Each of us at least a little, but still believes in amulets, charms and all kinds of stones that can attract positive and repel negative energy. Now they have divorced quite a lot, and it is not always known to whom this or that mineral is suitable and whether it is possible to cure diseases with its help. It is worth remembering that all these amulets can also be harmful to health if used improperly.
Ulexitis, or cat's eye
Ulexite stone is a mineral that belongs to water borates. They can be transparent, translucent and opaque, have a shiny and smooth surface (during professional processing).
Due to its optical properties, with the help of which it is able to transmit rays of light and enlarge the image, the ulexite stone was called “television”. The mineral will appeal to gentle natures who love light shades, because the choice of colors is small: light green, beige, white and gray. There is also a gradation of color, when, for example, gray turns to green, it looks beautiful.
But together with external tenderness and beauty, it embodies fragility, as natural stone breaks very easily. Synthetic samples are more resistant to external stimuli and falls, but nevertheless, scientists and biologists are trying to bring the artificial texture of minerals closer to the real one.
The history of such a wonderful breed is this: in the Chilean town of Iquique in the 19th century a previously unknown stone was found, a chemical scientist Ulex studied ulexite after a while. The properties and texture of the stone shocked the man. Subsequently, the mineral was called by the name of that same scientist.
Now the amulet is mined in Chile, Russia and Kazakhstan. Smaller deposits are found in America and Argentina.
Natural and artificial ulexite
It is easy to distinguish natural ulexite from synthetic: it is only necessary to check its optical properties. Due to its needle particles, the “television” mineral can enlarge the picture several times, while the stone mined with the help of technology will not give such an effect even with a strong desire. Ulexite stone is used for the production of medical devices, factory equipment, glasses and magnifiers. Even in the cable for the Internet or television, there are particles of this mineral.
Of course, it can also be used in jewelry, however, it can be found quite rarely on the shelves of stores in the form of jewelry due to its extreme fragility. Over time, the surface of the stone is scratched and covered with plaque, which is erased by grinding.
A more durable alternative to natural was synthetic ulexite stone. Here, lovers of beautiful gizmos can not deny themselves anything, because such beauty costs less, lasts longer, and the spectrum of colors is higher: blue, red, green, pink and turquoise minerals are sold in jewelry stores now, pleasing the eye with the brightness of shades. Artificial stones can already be used for the manufacture of souvenirs and jewelry.
Magical and healing properties
Mages and healers rarely use ulexite in their rites, because they themselves do not know much about its properties, the dangers that it can conceal in itself. To whom the mineral is suitable, it is also known quite blurry.
But still, many esotericists unanimously reiterate that the stone has the ability to remember the character traits of a person and to multiply them. But he never learned to distinguish good from bad traits. He also has the necessary ability to protect a person from black envious glances and gossip, to develop intuition and concentration.
Some owners of charms and amulets made of natural ulexite noticed in themselves the gift of clairvoyance that helps to predict the outcome of any events.
Men are advised to give their ladies jewelry from this mineral, as they are the guardians of the hearth and marital fidelity.
The stone is also credited with healing properties, it is believed that with its help you can get rid of nerve explosions, because it affects the mood and psyche of a person. “Television” untreated ulexitis is able to treat vision problems. According to healers, you only need to peer at the stone every day, as if trying to incinerate it. Of course, this fact is rather doubtful, but worth a try.
Zodiac sign
No matter how astrologers try to associate the mineral with some zodiac sign, they did not succeed. This is due to the fact that out of all the stones that are known to scientists, it is ulexite stone that has the most foggy energy. The properties, zodiac sign and structure of this formation are still not fully understood.
But nevertheless, astrologers assure that the cat's eye will suit any sign, as it can adapt to the character of a person.
Interesting!
Almost everything that you see on the shelves of jewelry stores called “ulexite” or “stiberite” is an artificial replacement.
These are just samples of artificial stones, therefore, there can be no talk of any magical properties in the case of non-natural minerals.
