EUCLASE

(Alternate Names: None)

Appearance

Euclase is a pale, luminous blue to blue-green crystal—sometimes icy, sometimes sea-glass soft—with exceptional clarity and a cool, glassy brilliance. Crystals are typically prismatic and sharply defined, though notoriously fragile. When faceted, Euclase flashes with crisp light; when raw, it feels like geometry made visible.

This is a stone that looks like truth sharpened to an edge.

Myth & Lore

Euclase takes its name from the Greek eu-klasis, meaning “good cleavage,” referencing its perfect—but dangerous—cleavage planes. Geologically rare and difficult to work with, it became associated not with abundance, but with precision.

In modern metaphysical practice, Euclase is regarded as a mental scalpel: a crystal used by those who value accuracy over comfort, and insight over reassurance.

How to Tell Real from Fake

Real Euclase:
