DUMORTIERITE

(Alternate Names: Dumortierite Quartz, Indigo Stone, Stone of Patience)

Appearance

A deep indigo to denim-blue mineral often found as fibrous inclusions within quartz or as compact masses on its own. Opaque to slightly translucent, with a matte to subtly glassy finish when polished. Color ranges from rich navy to violet-blue, sometimes streaked with gray or white. Its presence feels dense and serious—more monk’s robe than midnight sky.
