SMITHSONITE

Smithsonite is a beautiful zinc carbonate mineral found in the oxidised zones of zinc deposits, forming smooth, rounded, or botryoidal masses. Its soft pastel colours—ranging from soothing greens and blues to gentle pinks and lavenders—shine with a pearly to vitreous lustre, making it a favourite among collectors. In folklore, Smithsonite symbolises strength and resilience, encouraging transformation through challenges. Metaphysically, it is believed to ground energy, enhance focus, stimulate creativity, and promote emotional balance, confidence, and clarity in decision-making.
