A perfectly terminated quartz point with striations emerges from a metallic matrix of Stannite. Stannite is found in tin-bearing hydrothermal veins throughout the world, most commonly in areas where magmatic activity and sedimentary deposits are present. It is usually found as a secondary mineral, formed from the weathering and oxidation of primary sulfide minerals such as chalcopyrite, galena and sphalerite. Stannite can help one to recognize their potential, break down obstacles that stand in the way of achieving goals, and accept and embrace changes that come about in life. It also is believed to open the heart chakra, helping one to give and receive love more easily. Clear quartz is one of the most abundant minerals in the world and is rated at a 7 on the Mohs hardness scale. Clear quartz is thought metaphysically to promote understanding, clarity, and is associated with inner strength.
