Greenland - Nuummite - The Oldest Stone

Nuummite is found in an area north of Nuuk Greenland. The formation from which it comes has an origin which dates back almost 4 billion years making it some of the oldest rock formations on the planet. It is of volcanic origin and is believed to have formed about 3 billion years ago. Subsequent influences on the rock (metamorphism) have given rise to the striking mixture of crystals which gives Nuummite its unique appearance. Although this stone has been found in other areas of the world only the stuff from Greenland is developed enough to be suitable for gemstone use.

Nuummite's schiller effect is amazing. The different bandings created by crystalization creates an optical golden brown glow effect. The effect is called iridescence and really comes out on polished surfaces creating an effect almost like flames in a fire.

Metaphysically it is a powerful stone which brings to us the understanding of the power of the void in the potential of creation. Used in meditation it takes us deep within the subconscious to access other times and existances. It is an excellent grounding stone as well as a protective stone. It is useful for both when manifesting the highest vibrations available to us. It can be used to increase psychic abilities and intuition. Along with this it assists one in becoming one with or synchronizing with the elemental forces of the Earth. It's defensive qualities make it an excellent shield against negativity.

Along with Nuummite other unique minerals from Greenland are starting to grace our community. People native to Greenland have been working with these minerals for years. Only now is some of this information becoming available to us. I encourage you to check out Nuummite as it truly is an amazing stone and while your at it check out some other minerals from this locale. Although not much has been written to date working with them is well worth the effort.
