GASPEITE, discovered in 1966, is a relatively rare mineral, found only in a few locations in the world. Its light green, almost apple green color is quite unique and some varieties are almost neon green. It may contain brownish inclusions, which will give it a distinctive character. Gaspeite exhibits amazing variation in its coloring, providing a share for almost anyone.
GASPEITE is found as a secondary mineral around nickle sulfide deposits and is named for its locality of the Gaspé Peninsula, Quebec. Despite its recent discovery, gaspeite is considered to be commercially depleted.
As a healing stone, it is thought to reduce stress and help with heart, gallbladder and lung problems and metaphysically it is thought to bring spiritually into everyday life.
