These Stichtite Tumbled Stones are chunky, hand-polished pieces in soft lilac to purple, some marbled with paler grey and green where the stone meets its host material. The surface carries the gentle, slightly waxy lustre typical of this soft mineral, and each stone sits smoothly in the palm or pocket. Sold as single stones or in bulk by weight; the dish shown is for styling and is not included.
Stichtite is traditionally associated with transformation, gentle growth, and a grounded, open-hearted calm, and is commonly used to encourage emotional release and a settled sense of self. A tumbled stone like this is often carried through the day, held during meditation, or kept close as a soft, reassuring presence. Its quiet colour and easy palm feel make it a popular pocket and gifting piece.
Formed from natural material, each Stichtite Tumbled Stone differs in its depth of purple, its markings, and its exact shape and size, so every piece is one of a kind.

Geological Information
Stichtite is a soft chromium-bearing carbonate mineral whose lilac to purple colour comes from its chromium content. It characteristically forms within serpentine rock, and the combined purple-and-green material is widely traded as Atlantisite; for that reason it is grouped here with Serpentine, and its metaphysical associations are drawn from that family. Stichtite is notably soft, which is reflected in its gentle, slightly waxy polish. As a stone not held in the master data, the following are given as accepted general localities: the best-known material comes from Tasmania in Australia, with further deposits in South Africa and a small number of other localities worldwide.
AuturaSol Standard
Each natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity. Natural variations in colour, structure, inclusions, and surface features are inherent to geological materials and contribute to the individuality of each piece. Any known treatments, enhancements, stabilization, or man-made characteristics are clearly disclosed within the product information where applicable. Every piece is inspected and photographed to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance. If you have any questions about a piece before completing your purchase, we're always here to help. Where authenticity meets beauty, we tell you exactly what you're holding.
Care Note
Stichtite is a very soft stone (Mohs approximately 1.5 to 2.5, softer than most tumbled stones), so it scratches and marks easily. Handle it gently, keep it away from harder stones and abrasive surfaces, and store it separately to protect the polished finish.
