Green Mica Obelisk, 3 Inches

Green mica (fuchsite). The chrome-green layered mineral with its signature silvery shimmer.

Classic obelisk cut. The four-sided tapering tower, 3 inches tall, the altar's traditional point.

Indian origin, each unique. Natural layering and shimmer vary piece to piece.

• Stone: green mica (commonly fuchsite), carved obelisk
• Height: approximately 3 inches
• Origin: India
• Note: mica is a soft, layered mineral; it can shed fine glittery flakes with handling, prefers a display post to a pocket, and cleanses dry
• SKU: GOMICG

We introduce the stone honestly: green mica, usually the chrome mica called fuchsite, is a modern practice's stone, its lore the coinage of contemporary crystal work rather than the classical catalogs, so we assign it no invented element or planet. Within that living modern tradition its register is consistent: the shimmer stone of gentleness and self-regard, worked for calm reflection and the soft-focus variety of heart-centered practice, associations that read naturally off the mineral itself, all diffuse silvery light and no hard edges.

The obelisk gives that register the altar's classic architecture: the four-sided tower is decor's oldest energy-work shape, set at the desk for the workday's calm corner, on the altar as the green quarter's point, or on the shelf purely for the way mica catches lamplight, which is reason enough. The mineral's honest physics double as its best metaphor: mica is built of countless thin, light-catching layers, soft enough to shed a little glitter when handled, a stone that quite literally rewards being treated gently.

1. Cleanse it dry, by smoke or moonlight; mica's layers dislike water.
2. Station it where calm is the assignment: the desk, the nightstand, the altar's green corner.
3. Angle it toward lamplight; the layered shimmer is the piece's whole theater.
4. Handle it gently and expect a little natural glitter; softness is the mineral's nature.
5. Give it a settled display post rather than a pocket or pouch.

It makes the altar's best moonlight-catcher after the moonstone itself.

• Green Calcite Untumbled Stones, 1 lb: the green shelf's raw working bulk.
• Green Aventurine Tumbled Chips, 1 lb 8-12mm: the family's luck register by the pinch.
• Flower Agate Free Form, Madagascar: the display shelf's other soft optimist.
• Golden Quartz Slice Pendant: the light-catching register worn instead.
• White Sage Smudge Sticks, Set of 6: the dry cleanse mica requires.

What is green mica?

The layered, shimmering mineral in its chrome-green form, most often sold as fuchsite: countless thin light-catching sheets in one soft stone.

Is its lore ancient?

No, and we say so: green mica's associations belong to modern crystal practice, so we present them as the living tradition's and assign no classical correspondences.

Why does it glitter on my hands?

Mica's nature: the mineral is built of fine soft layers that can shed sparkle with handling, which is why it prefers a display post to a pocket.

How do I care for it?

Gently and dry: smoke or moonlight to cleanse, no water or soaks, and a settled spot away from knocks.

What size is it?

About 3 inches tall in the classic four-sided obelisk cut, each piece its own layering and shimmer.
