History, magical properties and features of Nuumite

Nuumite stone - its magical properties are known to esotericists, but it continues to intrigue others with its mystery and interesting characteristics. This mineral is the most popular in its homeland in Greenland. And the mineral received its properties due to its shimmering surface, which hides and conceals powers. This is a rare gemstone that you will not find in jewelry in jewelry stores. Most often, processed specimens are used; they can be found at lithotherapy sessions and in the collection of esoterics.

Characteristics of the mineral

Nuumite stone is based on jadeite and anthophyllite. In the scientific literature it is called anthophyllite-hedrite. Impurities include copper, pyrite (magnetic and copper), aluminum, augite, pyrite, and garnet. And each component gives the Greenlander a special color and pattern. No minerals of the same pattern were found. Gray, brown, black interspersed with red, yellow, green, blue - what colors can you find in a seemingly monochromatic dark stone!

Nuumite stone

The highlight of the colors is iridescence. The optical glow effect gives the nuumite a mysterious, unique appearance.

The hardness of the mineral on the Mohs scale is 6–7 points. The cost is high because the nuumite deposit is located in an inaccessible place, the stone is mined only in the summer, the quantity of raw materials is limited, and there is a demand.

In addition to Danish Greenland, this mineral is also found in small quantities in Norway, the USA, and Canada. But Greenlandic is considered the true and most popular.

Nuumites

Origin

The name came to us from ancient Greek. It can be literally translated as “onion stone.” It's very simple: onion - the color of leeks, which are eaten in the Balkans. Artificial nuumite is obtained by heating quartz, during which it changes its color and becomes soft green (it is recommended to look at the photo).

There are pebbles with which our mineral can be confused, we list them:

amethyst; beryl; tourmaline; peridot. At the same time, its characteristics deteriorate somewhat, but not critically. It can also be used in jewelry making. I must add that it is inexpensive, although quite beautiful. Its excellent lighting qualities are especially noted. Brazilian quartz or amethyst are best suited for making nuumite. Good preparations are also mined in the USA.

How does a stone heal?

Lithotherapists (doctors who study the effect of natural stones on the human body) continue to study the healing properties of the new mineral. It turned out that Nuumite:

• Treats migraine by relieving headaches.
• Relieves insomnia.
• Improves a person’s psycho-emotional health, reduces depression, and promotes the treatment of central nervous system diseases.
• Facilitates the condition of patients with Parkinson's disease.
• Increases immunity.
• Relieves eye infections.
• Normalizes blood sugar.
• Extinguishes the inflammatory process in the pancreas, anesthetizes the organ.
• Fights pathologies of the heart and blood vessels.
• Helps remove kidney stones.
• Accelerates tissue regeneration after injuries.

There is evidence that the mineral prevents the appearance of malignant tumors . However, this is not a cure for cancer, but only a companion remedy.

Black stones

My amulet

My beloved angel, my dear person. I carry your image in my heart like a talisman. The one that the gray wise men give from the evil eye is as if drunk from you and has no head. Tell your fortune by candlelight under the moon, You will be my thread, and I will be your string. I am above the abyss, but you keep me from jumping, Your strength and power over me is great. You can control it like Master Yoda, Give me the end of the thread so I don’t fall down. When you appeared, the string began to tremble. You must have been destined for me by God. I'm deprived of my head, it's like I'm drunk on you, Or like I was smoking a very strong hookah. I carry your image in my heart as a talisman, Joy, you are my angel, dear person. (Dmitry Kutepov)

What magicians and astrologers say about the mineral

The magical properties of the Nuumite stone have not been fully studied. Not every esotericist can work with it, since its effect on the psyche and capabilities of a person is contradictory. There is no doubt that only a truly capable person with good intentions can use the stone for healing and rituals. If you have dark thoughts, Nuumite can cause harm.

Crystal

Because of its uniqueness and originality, Greenland stone has gained a reputation as a powerful magical tool. When a strong magician takes it in his hand, the stone begins to glow from within, and at the moment of the impact itself it reveals a multi-colored pattern.

The magic of the mineral is manifested in the fact that it:

• Changes the owner’s energy field for the better: absorbs and transforms bad energy into benign energy.
• Protects the owner from energy vampires.
• Allows you to look into the past and future, see your destiny and build a life path.
• Teaches you to forgive.
• Protects against damage, evil eye, love spells.

Ring with Nuumite
Shamans who use volcanic stone in rituals travel to the other world and heal restless souls. Only magicians with very strong abilities can work with it. The weak risk going crazy. Several such cases have been recorded.

Earrings with Nuumite

As for astrological properties, it is impossible to unequivocally answer the question of whose zodiac sign this mineral is suitable for. There are only general recommendations: since Nuumite was born from a volcano, it is suitable primarily for fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), as well as earth signs (Capricorn, Taurus, Virgo) and water signs (Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio).

In principle, jewelry and amulets made from it are not contraindicated for others to wear, but the above recommendations must be kept in mind.

(“+++” – fits perfectly, “+” – can be worn, “-” – is strictly contraindicated).

A person chooses a stone, and a stone chooses its owner. Both should feel attraction at the moment of choice. Then the gem will become a real talisman.

Who is suitable for a Nuumite talisman?

The stone can only be used in a good way, otherwise it will break a person or drive him crazy.
It must be borne in mind that the stone favors only honest people who do not wish bad things on others. It is dangerous for black sorcerers to wear jewelry made from an amazing breed. Weak in spirit and beginners who are just starting to practice magic also need to remain careful, because the Nuumite will break them and bend them to its own will. A common consequence of thoughtless use is insanity.

The stone is suitable for any sign of the zodiac belt, if used with respect. However, it is better for Air signs to choose another gem. Volcanic rock favors Aries, Leo and Sagittarius most of all; Capricorn and Virgo will feel less tangible support. The stone is indifferent to the water signs of the zodiac belt, and therefore it takes time to gain trust and get help.

Use in crafts

Nuumite is used in jewelry. Men's and women's jewelry is created: rings, rings, bracelets, beads.

Product with nuumite

Nuumite is polished, leaving no edges.

As a rule, high-quality jewelry is made from it, but expensive items are also common. Most often they are set in silver, since it is this metal that emphasizes the originality and beauty of a rare iridescent and sparkling stone. But gold is not suitable for volcanic stone.

Nuumite fades under the influence of ultraviolet radiation, this must be taken into account and protected from direct sunlight. Carefully care for the products, without using abrasives or chemicals for cleaning.

Nuumite mineral

It is difficult for ordinary stone lovers to distinguish a fake from a real Nuumite. Unscrupulous manufacturers pass off the more common feldspar and other minerals as nuumite. If you decide to purchase a mineral for magical purposes, this must be done near the deposit in Nuuk. Or better yet, find it yourself. Then his significance as a strong magical protector will be fully revealed. When buying jewelry made from a precious mineral, find out its history and origin.

nummite stone

The combination of jadeite and anthophyllite forms not only nuumite. On all continents there are minerals with a similar composition and approximately the same color. For example, in our Karelia and the Far East, deposits of black stones are being developed, which have a strong iridescent effect and are interspersed with different shades.

Nuumite is one of the stones that most strongly affects the human bioenergy field. This is what makes it interesting. It is used, depending on the ailment, for massage, for charging water, and observing the glow. Perhaps some magical properties are just legends. But who is stopping him from testing his abilities in practice?

Definition

The Nuumite stone - prasiolite - is quite unusual. It is obtained artificially from quartz, but, interestingly, its analogues can still be found in nature. These are quartz, painted in light green tones. They also have a pleasant, quiet glow and are highly prized. Of course, natural prasiolite is many times more expensive, but it is almost impossible to find. And you need to understand that, in essence, it is no longer the mineral that will be discussed now. It has extensive magical properties, somewhat similar in this sense to the Nuumite stone. Nuummite, although not artificial, is also considered one of the most powerful amulets. This will be discussed further.

Magic properties

The stone is credited with a positive effect on the spiritual side and its strong magical properties.

Bad thoughts upon contact with this mineral disappear, and the human field becomes impenetrable to external negativity.

It seems to help awaken high feelings, including respect for others, compassion and forgiveness. The positive aspects of character only intensify.

Nuumit became most widespread as an amulet of protection against the evil eye. It absorbs the wave of negativity and transforms it into positive vibrations.

It is believed that all zodiac signs can wear jewelry with this stone. It is best to choose silver items, because silver enhances the effect of Nuumite.

List of precious and semi-precious stones

The terms “gemstones” and “semi-precious stones” originated in the 1800s and were used to determine their commercial value, which depended solely on rarity.
