A LITTLE INFORMATION ABOUT SAUSSURITE:
Saussurite is the name given to a rare pseudomorph (meaning one mineral replaced another; a false form) feldspar that commonly contains a group of minerals. Some of these being Zoisite, Epidote, Scapolite, Albite, and other sodium rich silicates. It is only found crystallized in the form of masses, making this a highly sought after stone for master craftsmen and sculptors. Saussurite was first discovered in Mount Blanc some time in between 1760-1778 by Horace Benedict de Saussure (a famed Genevan geologist and mountaineer). It is believed that he originally thought this mineral was actually a variety of Jade. That belief was shared from the time of his death in 1799 all the way up until 1806. That is when Nicolas Theodore de Saussure (his son) correctly identified this mineral as a completely new feldspar, thus naming it in honour of his late father. Since then, this mineral has been found in Australia, China, India, and Russia.

 

METAPHYSICAL / CRYSTAL HEALING PROPERTIES OF SAUSSURITE:
Saussurite is a stone of transformation, specifically relating to your emotional wants and needs. The energy omitted can be felt upon touch and leads one to eventually raise the question, “What am I capable of?” A question one may have accidentally forgotten or purposely ignored. That doesn't matter anymore, because working with Saussurite challenges one’s entire way of thinking, as it’s energies are directly in tune with the heart’s desires. Instead of your mind continuously making decisions based on our lower dimensional reality, your heart only judges from what's within. This important attribute allows one to solely make decisions off past experiences, both physically and emotional. This allows you to use first-person judgment, alongside your intuition to understand what is best for the current you.
