Semi Precious Stone Gaspeite Bracelet

Gaspeite is a comparatively rare mineral, found only in a few localities. Its light green, almost apple green color is quite unique and some varieties are almost neon green. It may contain brownish patches which might give it a distinctive character.

Gaspeite is found around nickel sulfide deposits and is named for the area of Gaspe Peninsula, Quebec, Canada where it was originally found.

As a fairly new discovery in 1967, this mineral has no known folk lore although it is mentioned that the Aborigine's used Gaspeite to bring about good fortune. As a healing gem stone, it is thought to decrease stress and help with heart, gallbladder and lung problems. Metaphysically, it is consideration to bring spirituality into everyday life.
