Cleansing Yellow-Green Hanksite Formation (M12425)SOLD!Hanksite forms as an evaporative deposit in arid conditions found in salt flats. The crystals are likened to giant herkimers due to their shape, with lots of surface etchings, with a soft golden green hue. Halite is the first mineral to form, but as the waters become more concentrated, borax and rarer hanksite will begin to crystallize. This one is from Searles Lake in Trona California. Hanksite is an interesting mineral formation containing both carbonate and sulfate ions. Due to its nature, hanksite is very sensitive to moisture, including humidity. Keep this mineral in a cool dry place when not working with it. Because of this, this crystal will ship with some silica desiccate to protect the stone during its travels. Hanksite helps to purify and detoxify the system. It helps you to take a full deep breath, helping the lungs purge pollutants. It helps to dry up excess moisture and inflammation, easing symptoms of pneumonia, bronchitis, asthma and other lung issues. This intriguing formation has a lovely bright yellow green hue when caught in the light. It has lovely etchings and elestial like formations.
The crystal measures 2.2" x 2.5" x 1.9" and weighs 6.5 oz. |
