Collection: Okenite

Okenite is a silicate mineral that forms within basalt rocks and geodes. It crystallizes in the form of tiny blade like crystals that resemble a cotton ball. This mineral looks as if it's covered in hair or fuzz, and can even resemble that when felt. Okenite’s crystal structure allows them to be bendable and move unlike any other crystal you may have seen before! Be careful not to bend each crystal too much, as it's still a very fragile mineral. Okenite was discovered by F. Von Kobell in 1828, and was named after the famed German Botanist, Lorenz Oken. Okenite is usually found in a pale to pearly white color, but can also be seen as yellow and very light blue. The most famous locality of Okenite is in the state of Maharashtra, India. Okenite activates and unlocks our crown chakra, helping us process and understand knowledge from higher realms and dimensions.
