BRAZILIANITE

(Alternate Names: Yellow Brazilianite)

Appearance

Brazilianite appears in luminous yellow-green to chartreuse tones, often translucent to transparent with a warm inner glow. Crystals commonly form as sharp-edged, prismatic or tabular shapes, sometimes clustered in angular sprays. When polished, it gleams with a bright, almost sunlit clarity; in raw form, it feels energetic and alert—like the first spark of an idea before it catches fire.

This is a stone that looks awake.
