Description

Magnesite has the same crystal structure as calcite. Its typically white color, porous composition, and low luster make this gemstone a good candidate for color enhancement. Most magnesite on the market (including ours) is dyed.
Turquoise magnesite (sometimes erroneously called chalk turquoise) makes a wonderful substitute for much-pricier genuine turquoise. Other colors of dyed magnesite work great in cowgirl jewelry.
For hundreds of years, Native Americans, including the Pomo people of California, used magnesite beads as jewelry and currency. Magnesite's metaphysical properties are said to include assistance in creative visualizations, meditation, stimulating passion, strengthening bones, and lessening the symptoms of PMS.
