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 there are quite a lot of them, and it is not always known who this or that mineral is suitable for and whether it is possible to cure diseases with its help. It is worth remembering that all these amulets can also be harmful to he alth if used incorrectly.
Ulexite, or cat's eye
Ulexite stone is a mineral that belongs to water borates. Available in clear, translucent and opaque, they are glossy and smooth (when professionally finished).
Due to its optical properties, with the help of which it is able to transmit light rays and magnify the image, ulexite stone was nicknamed “television stone”. 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 color gradation, when, for example, gray turns into green, it looks beautiful.
Butalong with external tenderness and beauty, it contains fragility, since natural stone beats very easily. Synthetic samples are more resistant to external stimuli and falls, but still 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 as follows: in the Chilean town of Iquiki in the 19th century, a previously unknown stone was found, the chemist Ulex studied ulexite some time after this discovery. 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
Distinguishing natural from synthetic ulexite is easy: you just need to check its optical properties. A “television” mineral, due to its needle-like particles, can enlarge the picture several times, but a 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, but it can be rarely found on store shelves 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 alternativesynthetic stone ulexite became natural. Here, lovers of beautiful things can not deny themselves anything, because such beauty costs less, lasts longer, and the range 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 to make both souvenirs and jewelry.
Magic and healing properties
Magicians and healers rarely use ulexite in their rituals, because they themselves do not know much about its properties, the dangers that it can hide in itself. Who the mineral is suitable for is also known rather vaguely.
But still, many esotericists unanimously say that the stone has the ability to remember a person's character traits and increase them. But he never learned to distinguish good features from bad ones. It also has the necessary property 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 have noticed in themselves the gift of clairvoyance that has opened up, helping to foresee the outcome of any events.
Men are advised to give their ladies jewelry made 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 nervous explosions, because it affects the mood and psyche of a person. "Television" raw ulexite is able to healvision problems. According to healers, you just need to peer into the stone every day, as if you are trying to incinerate it. Of course, this fact is rather doubtful, but it's worth a try.
Zodiac sign
No matter how hard astrologers tried to associate the mineral with some sign of the zodiac, they failed. All due to the fact that of all the stones that are known to scientists, it is the ulexite stone that has the most foggy energy. The properties, zodiac sign and structure of this formation have not yet been fully studied.
But still, astrologers assure that the cat's eye will suit any sign, as it can adapt to the character of a person.
Interesting
Almost everything you see on the shelves of jewelry stores called "ulexite" or "stiberite" is an artificial replacement.
These are only samples of artificial stones, therefore, there can be no talk of any magical properties in the case of non-natural minerals.
