Raw Carborundum Specimen — Rainbow Silicon Carbide Crystal for Energy & Clarity

Shimmering with electric shades of gold, blue, purple, and green, these raw Carborundum specimens are a true showpiece. Hundreds of tiny, sharp crystal faces flash a different rainbow of color with every turn, making them a striking addition to an altar, desk, shelf, or crystal collection.

Intuitively chosen: you will receive one raw Carborundum specimen, hand-selected for you, similar to those pictured. Each piece is unique, so color, shape, and crystal formation will vary. Average size is about 2.5 inches.

About Carborundum: Carborundum is silicon carbide. Although it occurs in nature as the very rare mineral moissanite, the Carborundum sold for collecting is created as a byproduct of an industrial high-heat furnace process. The brilliant rainbow colors form naturally on the surface during that process. It is not dyed or painted.

Metaphysical Meaning

Carborundum is known as a high-vibration stone of energy, focus, and clearing. Many people work with Carborundum to:

• Boost energy and motivation: its bright, electric energy is said to help overcome fatigue, procrastination, and feeling stuck.
• Sharpen focus and mental clarity: a favorite for study, problem-solving, and clearing mental fog.
• Clear energy blockages: believed to break up stagnant energy and help energy flow freely through the body and space.
• Support spiritual connection and meditation: associated with the Crown and Third Eye, it is used to enhance intuition and higher awareness while staying grounded.

Care
