Arfvedsonite

Arfvedsonite is a mineral silicate named after the Swedish chemist Johan Arfvedson. It is a dark blue to black mineral that often occurs near alkaline magmatites.

It is characterized by its smooth surface and glassy to shimmering luster. It is occasionally used as a gemstone, although it is not as common in the jewelry industry due to its brittle nature.

This mineral is associated with several positive properties, including protection, strength, and clarity of mind. Arfvedsonite is believed to help ward off negative energies, boost self-confidence, and promote concentration.

Arfvedsonite is mined mainly in countries such as Norway, Canada and Madagascar. Although it is less known than other gemstones, arfvedsonite has still found its followers due to its unique color and metaphysical properties.
