Where Is It From? Sillimanite Meaning

The meaning of the name Sillimanite relates to the American geologist Benjamin Sillman who it was named after.

These healing stones are also known as Fibrolite. The name Fibrolite relates to the way it looks, with parallel bundles of fibers in the stone.

It occurs in the massive form, as fibrous aggregate stone as well as gorgeous prismatic or acicular crystals. 

The crystalline form of the stone is often made into beautiful transparent gemstones. These are commonly bluish violet or quite lovely yellow or yellowish
green transparent stones.

This transparent stone makes stunning gemstone jewelry, and the fibrous type is also quite beautiful.

I love the way the colors are mixed in the fibrous lines in the pink stone in my pendant below.

While it is not common and may even said to be rare, it is found in
quite a few locations including the United Stated, Brazil, India, Sri Lanka,
Myanmar (formerly Burma), Czechoslovakia, Italy and Germany.

polymorph of these stones as they all have the same chemical
composition. It comes in a number of colors.

There is a yellowish variety called Cats Eye. Although not all colors are common, it comes in a number of colors, including yellow, white, brown, pink, grey, violet, green, blue and colorless.

As

stone are found made into jewelry, and while these crystals are not
common, specialist crystal suppliers do sell it.
