This blending of quartz and basalt is said to help the wearer be more compassionate toward others. The two component minerals work together to produce a stone that gives off a lot of energy, which some people find boosts their endurance and stamina. | This stone can be both naturally occurring and man-made, with the metaphysical community divided regarding the properties of each. The original man-made zincite was the result of a mine fire in Poland close to a century ago. More recently this mineral has been produced as a by-product of other Polish industrial processes. A few of the properties attributed to the natural zincite include stimulation of the body's electric currents, and helping to attract like-minded individuals to the wearer. Whether these properties are supported by the man-made zincite is matter of personal reflection and study. |
