Magnesite a Carbonate Mineral

Distinct crystals of Magnesite are rare, but when found are rhombohedral or prismatic. Magnesite is generally massive, lamellar, fibrous, or granular. A carbonate of magnesium, Magnesite take is it name from its composition and is virtually impossible to melt. Most commonly white or light grey, it can be yellow or brownish when iron substitute for some of the magnesium.

Magnesite forms principally as an alteration product in magnesium-rich rocks, such as peridotites, and through the action of magnesium – containing solutions upon calcite. It also occurs as a primary mineral in limestone and talc or chlorite schists and is found in some meteorites.

Magnesite is said to promote relaxation and a positive attitude to life. It removes negative feelings, reduces oversensitivity and said to aid in lifting depression. The pure white color symbolizes purity and freedom but also fertility, it is said to protect the wearer against false love, false friends and intrigues. Magnesite is linked to the star sign of Libra.


This design is handcraft entirely of the white Magnesite cut in disks which I’ve slightly graduated. Between are faceted hexagons light Topaz crystals, gold tone spacers and paired at the bottom is a Turquoise cross pendant; the bail is handmade in non-tarnish gold wire.

Little Old West Style

I found this beautiful Turquoise cross and highlighted it by using Calcilica gemstones, antique silver spacers and Smoky Topaz Swarovski crystals. I really like how the Turquoise brings out the light blue colors in the Calcilica and gives it an ‘old west style’ look with the marbling of brown, rust and cream. I’ve added a touch of silver in spacers and done the dangle earrings in the same stones. Wear it short or long with the extender.

Casual, Classic, Bold, Exotic...we've got many styles to chose from in all natural gemstone jewelry.
