Rare Nuumite from Greenland: properties and uses of the stone

In the early 1980s, a new mineral was discovered in the Nuuk region of Greenland. It was named Nuummit after the first known deposit. Over time, the second letter “m” was lost and a simplified name – Nuumite – became established in the world. The official scientific term for the mineral, anthophyllite-hedrite, turned out to be so complex that even scientists themselves rarely use it.

For a long time, the deposit in Greenland remained the only one. To date, three more sources of semi-precious raw materials have been discovered:

• in Finland;
• In Canada;
• on the Kola Peninsula.

The stone continues to be rare. Therefore, its scope of use is almost entirely limited to the jewelry industry

The gem is opaque. It is pleasing to the eye due to its variegated colors with contrasting shiny splashes. Many found samples have this advantage. Due to its physical and chemical properties, the stone is also suitable for creating jewelry.

Characteristics of the mineral

Nuumite stone is based on jadeite and anthophyllite. In the scientific literature it is called anthophyllite-hedrite. Impurities include copper, pyrite (magnetic and copper), aluminum, augite, pyrite, and garnet. And each component gives the Greenlander a special color and pattern. No minerals of the same pattern were found. Gray, brown, black interspersed with red, yellow, green, blue - what colors can you find in a seemingly monochromatic dark stone!

The highlight of the colors is iridescence. The optical glow effect gives the nuumite a mysterious, unique appearance.

The hardness of the mineral on the Mohs scale is 6–7 points. The cost is high because the nuumite deposit is located in an inaccessible place, the stone is mined only in the summer, the quantity of raw materials is limited, and there is a demand.

In addition to Danish Greenland, this mineral is also found in small quantities in Norway, the USA, and Canada. But Greenlandic is considered the true and most popular.

Nuumites

Nuumit

Nuumite (nuummit, nummit) is a rare stone on our market, perhaps the most popular and promoted of the Greenland stones.

His fame was ensured by connoisseurs who were passionate about esotericism and lithotherapy. After scouring the Internet a bit, I find:

– Nuumite is a rare and very ancient stone, it is mined only in Greenland during the warm months. Nuumite is formed from a mixture of two minerals from the orthoamphibole group: anthophyllite and gedrite. Nuumite is of volcanic origin; it was formed about 3 billion years ago. The name Nuumite is derived from the municipality of Nuuk, where the stone was discovered in 1982.

Nuumit is good for synthesizing psychic and intuitive wisdom with intellectual thought. He helps you find your inner strength. It can also help achieve self-control. It is used when working with psychic experiences, especially when working with past or alternative lives.

This mineral can be used to open, activate and unify the chakras. It interacts especially strongly with the heart chakra. Nuumite is useful in removing energy blocks. He can draw energy from the etheric body to restore physical energy. It can be used to fill voids or cleanse the auric field. It has been used to fill and heal gaps that remain after the removal of unwanted embedded thought forms and various subsoilers. Therefore, this stone also helps in protection from “energy vampires”, who can also make a rupture, or take advantage of an existing one and drain energy, while the loss of a large amount of vitality can lead to lethargy and illness.

This mineral has very strong protective qualities and is an excellent prophylactic that will protect you from various forms of negative energy. Simply keeping a piece of Nuumite in sight, such as on your workbench, will help activate the protective aspects of your stone.

Healers use Nuumite for healing and tissue regeneration to relieve pain and discomfort. It can be used to stimulate the immune system and help fight infections. It can also be used in the treatment of diseases of the throat, vision, to strengthen eyesight, to cleanse the blood and kidneys. It can also be used to stimulate circulation, aid recovery from Parkinson's disease, treat central nervous system disorders, treat brain disorders, stimulate mental function, and can reduce anxiety and stress.

Nuumite (nuummit, nummit) is a powerful protective stone that is suitable for people who have sufficiently strong and developed energy, since this stone is fraught with its own magical power.

From the point of view of protective properties, Nuumite has no equal if the task is to protect yourself from energetic interference. It removes mental implants of external and magical origin, but requires due respect and pure intentions, otherwise it can act like a boomerang. Nummit eventually learns to be responsible for his own protection.

Nuumite is excellent for those who wish to remain grounded and protected while exhibiting the highest possible vibration. Therefore, Nuumite works differently than most protective stones; it does not build protective walls or bubbles around the aura. Nuumite brings high-frequency energy into the aura, which transforms lower frequencies into higher ones. This means that you are less affected by negative energy fields, thoughts or intentions coming from other people.

Nuumit can awaken or enhance intuition and clairvoyant abilities, it helps to “read” body language. Nuumite, the true stone of magicians, helps to synchronize with the basic forces of the Earth.

Nuumit is good for reflection and journeys of consciousness, opening doors to getting to know yourself.

Nuumit helps us understand what power is and why it is given to a person. This stone teaches respect and honesty, helps to draw out memories of past lives from the subconscious, and free oneself from ill will in this and past lives.

Nuumit cuts off all traces of other people's unnecessary defenses and attempts at manipulation, removes blocks (including your own), teaches you to keep promises, eliminates the consequences of witchcraft and frees you from all old connections that you have outgrown.

Truly, this Greenland stone bestows psychological and energetic freedom... - to those who know what to do with it.

Suitable for all zodiac signs.

Well, from a scientific point of view, Nuumite is not a mineral, but a trade name. In terms of its composition, Nuumite is a metamorphic rock formed from a mixture of two minerals of the orthoamphibole group.

The main components Anthophyllite and Gedrite are relatively rare amphiboles. The composition also contains pyrite, magnetic and copper pyrite to varying degrees.

The name Nuumit is derived from the name of the municipality of Nuuk in Grendand, where the stone was discovered in 1982. The main deposit of Nuumit (Kitaa Province (West Greenland) Nuuk (Godthåb)) is located there, and in essence, it is this deposit that is the “right holder” of the name Nuumit - since the name translates as “Mined in Nuuk”.

They say that Nuumite is of volcanic origin, is 3 billion years old and can be called the most ancient mineral.

Nuummite is an opaque stone. And quite hard. The color of Nuumites ranges from light gray to almost black. However, the stone is valued for its unusual inclusions - yellow, gold, green, blue, red and purple, which create rainbow tints - the effect of iridescence. That is why Nuumites are most often polished into cabochons, so that this special rainbow play of light appears more clearly.

Its price on the market is quite high.

Sellers will tell you about the uniqueness and rarity of the stone, about the difficulties of its extraction, about its uniqueness. But to be completely precise, in the “Encyclopedia: Colored Stones” V.V. Bukanov (and you can really trust him) writes: “Anthophyllite and gedrite are found in joint intergrowth, because form a series of continuous miscibility among themselves. They are widespread, mainly in metamorphic rocks. Opaque to translucent, they form ornamental iridescent amphibolites. In Russia, in the North. Karelia, a deposit of iridescent amphibolite Dyadin Gora was discovered in the region of the railway. Art. Chupa. This is a massive black rock composed of fine-grained amphibole. When polished, it exhibits a spectacular iridescence in greenish-blue and bright blue tones, reminiscent of the color of a dove’s feather, which is why this ornamental stone received the name Tausinite...

In the West Greenland, Ameralik Fjord, at the tungsten deposit near Gothab Fjord, iridescent amphibolites were discovered, consisting mainly of gedrite and anthophyllite. They are known as negotiable ornamental stone. name Nuumit. In the same place, at the Fiskennesset deposit, gedritite with a cat's eye effect was discovered. Nuumite is represented by lenses or interlayers of considerable extent. When polished, coarse-grained aggregates of this rock have an iridescence in greenish-blue, copper-yellow and golden-red tones. Iridescent amphibolites of this type are known in the USA - in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Nuumite has been used in jewelry since 1986. The largest anthophyllite crystal from the deposit in pcs. Montana, USA, had a size of 16x8 cm. In Wyoming, gem-quality anthophyllite with iridescence in yellowish-brown and red tones was found. Iridescent amphibolite, composed almost entirely of anthophyllite, is an ornamental stone here.”

So the stone of power - Nuumite - is not so rare, which, however, absolutely does not negate its beneficial properties or beauty.

What magicians and astrologers say about the mineral

The magical properties of the Nuumite stone have not been fully studied. Not every esotericist can work with it, since its effect on the psyche and capabilities of a person is contradictory. There is no doubt that only a truly capable person with good intentions can use the stone for healing and rituals. If you have dark thoughts, Nuumite can cause harm.

Crystal

Because of its uniqueness and originality, Greenland stone has gained a reputation as a powerful magical tool. When a strong magician takes it in his hand, the stone begins to glow from within, and at the moment of the impact itself it reveals a multi-colored pattern.

The magic of the mineral is manifested in the fact that it:

• Changes the owner’s energy field for the better: absorbs and transforms bad energy into benign energy.
• Protects the owner from energy vampires.
• Allows you to look into the past and future, see your destiny and build a life path.
• Teaches you to forgive.
• Protects against damage, evil eye, love spells.

Ring with Nuumite
Shamans who use volcanic stone in rituals travel to the other world and heal restless souls. Only magicians with very strong abilities can work with it. The weak risk going crazy. Several such cases have been recorded.

Earrings with Nuumite

As for astrological properties, it is impossible to unequivocally answer the question of whose zodiac sign this mineral is suitable for. There are only general recommendations: since Nuumite was born from a volcano, it is suitable primarily for fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), as well as earth signs (Capricorn, Taurus, Virgo) and water signs (Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio).

In principle, jewelry and amulets made from it are not contraindicated for others to wear, but the above recommendations must be kept in mind.

(“+++” – fits perfectly, “+” – can be worn, “-” – is strictly contraindicated).

A person chooses a stone, and a stone chooses its owner. Both should feel attraction at the moment of choice. Then the gem will become a real talisman.

Use in crafts

Nuumite is used in jewelry. Men's and women's jewelry is created: rings, rings, bracelets, beads.

Product with nuumite

Nuumite is polished, leaving no edges.

As a rule, high-quality jewelry is made from it, but expensive items are also common. Most often they are set in silver, since it is this metal that emphasizes the originality and beauty of a rare iridescent and sparkling stone. But gold is not suitable for volcanic stone.

Nuumite fades under the influence of ultraviolet radiation, this must be taken into account and protected from direct sunlight. Carefully care for the products, without using abrasives or chemicals for cleaning.

Nuumite mineral

It is difficult for ordinary stone lovers to distinguish a fake from a real Nuumite. Unscrupulous manufacturers pass off the more common feldspar and other minerals as nuumite. If you decide to purchase a mineral for magical purposes, this must be done near the deposit in Nuuk. Or better yet, find it yourself. Then his significance as a strong magical protector will be fully revealed. When buying jewelry made from a precious mineral, find out its history and origin.

nummite stone

The combination of jadeite and anthophyllite forms not only nuumite. On all continents there are minerals with a similar composition and approximately the same color. For example, in our Karelia and the Far East, deposits of black stones are being developed, which have a strong iridescent effect and are interspersed with different shades.

Nuumite is one of the stones that most strongly affects the human bioenergy field. This is what makes it interesting. It is used, depending on the ailment, for massage, for charging water, and observing the glow. Perhaps some magical properties are just legends. But who is stopping him from testing his abilities in practice?

Composition, properties and deposit of nuumite

Nuumite is a mineral of volcanic origin. The base is made up of a mixture of jadeite and anthophyllite. And the impurities that give the stone a special color and pattern include copper and magnetic pyrite, copper, aluminum, garnet, pyrite, augite and some other impurities in small quantities.

The complex composition gives the mineral amazing colors: no two minerals are alike. It can be brown with a red tint, or black with a pattern of yellow, greenish or blue shades.

Iridescence (multi-colored glow) gives the mineral a special beauty. Naturally, the stone is not illuminated from the inside. But the optical effect, reminiscent of a blue flame, gives the mineral a unique and mysterious appearance.

According to the Mohs scale, the hardness of nuumite is determined from 6.5 to 7, density from 3.3 to 3.8. The price of stone products found in Greenland is quite high. But this is not explained by the antiquity of its origin, which, according to scientists, dates back about three billion years.

The Nuuk deposit is located in such an area that it can only be reached by water by boat. Therefore, the mineral is mined in the summer months, which significantly limits its quantity on the market.

Deposits in Canada, the USA and Norway may allow higher rates of stone extraction. But among connoisseurs, it is the Greenlandic mineral that is very popular.

In the jewelry industry, nuumite is used to make precious jewelry. The main processing method used is cabochon. This is a smooth polish with no edges. This finishing of the stone helps highlight all its beauty. Products made from nuumite are sometimes set in silver.

It is believed that gold does not go well with this stone, but jewelry made from it even in silver is very expensive. Although unscrupulous manufacturers sometimes replace it with cheaper black stones with inclusions. Larvikites (feldspar from Norwegian deposits) are often used as such an “analogue”

For the economy of Denmark and its administrative unit of Greenland, the discovery of the nuumite deposit did not bring much of a boost. Rather, this became a reason to attract tourists inclined to study esotericism.

Surprisingly, quite recently, the area around Nuuk (Gothob) was inhabited by connoisseurs of ancient customs. Some half a century ago it was considered right to live by hunting. And in order not to fall under the wrath of the spirit of the killed animal, people created special figurines from fur and bones. Now such souvenirs are sold to all tourists who visit Nuuk.
