Trolleite is a rare stone. Originally found only in Sweden, more recent discoveries have been made in Australia, Rwanda, Brazil and the USA.
I first came across it last year, but it was so very expensive that I didn’t buy any. I was offered some beautiful pieces a couple of weeks ago – still quite expensive, but less so, and very beautiful so I decided to buy a few pieces.
From the beginning I found them very interesting, but I wasn’t immediately drawn to connect with them. They were happy to sit quietly in the barn – resting and observing. They are very unassuming pieces!
I decided to find out about Trolleite. It is a pale greenish blue phosphate mineral with a hardness of 5.5 to 6. Other phosphate minerals include Apatite, Turquoise, Lazulite and Amblygonite. Other minerals with similar hardness include Apatite, Turquoise (5.5) and Amazonite, Moonstone, Labradorite (6). It has a monoclinic crystal structure like Azurite, Gypsum (Selenite) and Kunzite. The colour is more green than Angelite and more blue than Amazonite.
All of the crystal healing information I have read says that Trolleite is a mix of, or contains, Quartz, Lazulite and Scorzalite, which would make it a rock and not a mineral. I think this is a good example of one person writing something and then lots of people copying it until it becomes ‘truth’! Reliable mineral sources say that Trolleite is often found with Quartz, Lazulite and Scorzalite.
Last week, since the pieces were photographed and ready to be offered for sale, three of us decided to attune to it. We found it to be quiet and unassuming but deep and strong. My first impression was of expansion with a feeling of horizontal space, peace and wellbeing and I felt that it would help with anger, frustration, fear, anxiety. I then became aware that it has a holding quality – rather like a slightly weighted very wide skirt! It isn’t grounding in the sense of deep roots, but it does hold us in the physical. I think it would be help us to stay centred in toxic environments and remain true to ourselves. After this, however, my energy moved upwards in a narrow point. It went up very high, and kept going – and going. I felt it would help us to connect to spiritual truth and ancestral wisdom – to whales and to star beings – always in a profound yet subtle way.
In summary, this is a powerful, high vibrational stone without the buzz of minerals like Moldavite or Phenacite. It is peaceful and subtle, working quietly but powerfully. It can help us expand spiritually, in a true, non-showy way and to express that truth in practical ways in daily life.
I hope you like it. Let us know.
