SIDERITE

Siderite is an iron carbonate mineral commonly found in sedimentary and hydrothermal environments, often associated with quartz, calcite, and fluorite. It typically forms rhombohedral crystals or massive granular aggregates in shades of brown, yellow, or grey, with a pearly to vitreous lustre. In folklore, Siderite was regarded as a stone of grounding and strength, linked to the stabilising power of the Earth. Metaphysically, it is believed to enhance focus, perseverance, and self-discipline, promoting emotional balance, clarity, and confidence during personal and spiritual growth.
