{"product_id":"arizona-gem-silica-2-21ct-cabochon-vivid-teal","title":"Arizona Gem Silica | 2.21ct Cabochon | Vivid Teal","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 2.21 carat gem silica cabochon from the historic Ray Mine in Pinal County, Arizona shows a vivid teal blue-green with translucent to opaque body and minor inclusions. The cabochon measures 10 x 8 x 3.5mm and is completely natural and untreated. The coloration comes from copper impurities within the silica structure, which is the hallmark of gem silica.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGem silica is often called 'Chrysocolla Gem Silica', 'Gem Silica Chrysocolla', or 'Chrysocolla Chalcedony'. The first two names are misnomers, because chrysocolla is not the main coloring agent, and gem silica is often confused with or misrepresented as chrysocolla when they're two different gemstones with very different characteristics. Chrysocolla's hardness is only 2 to 3 on the Mohs scale, while gem silica is much harder at nearly 7 because of its chemical makeup, so buyer beware when a soft stone is offered as gem silica.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGem silica is among the rarest and most valuable varieties of chalcedony. Its scarcity comes from the specific geological conditions required for its formation, where silica-rich solutions permeate copper deposits, and material from the Ray Mine is particularly valued for its vibrant color and translucency, so it's getting rarer to find on the open market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT THIS STONE IS USED FOR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the stone medicine space, gem silica is regarded as a deeply balancing and restorative stone. It supports emotional equilibrium, clear expression of your thoughts, and energetic coherence, and it's especially effective for anyone navigating overwhelm, overstimulation, or nervous system sensitivity. Because it contains both chalcedony and chrysocolla, gem silica functions as both a transmitter and a harmonizer, gently clearing stagnation in the subtle body while anchoring energy in a calm, fluid way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis stone works well in body layouts, meditation, and vibrational elixirs, and its action is harmonizing rather than stimulating, which makes it a field equalizer that brings the subtle body into coherence. It suits healers, anyone integrating after deep spiritual experiences, and sensitive or intuitive people who need their subtle energy field stabilized. Set into jewelry and worn close to the body, it offers a soothing, steady resonance throughout the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVIBRATIONAL PROFILE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis gem silica emits the blue, green, and teal frequencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlue Frequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e The blue frequency is effective for reducing fever, inflammation, pain, and infection, stopping bleeding, and building flexibility in the body. Enel recognized blue as a regenerator of the nervous system and used it for patients with high blood pressure, arthritis, and neuralgia. Energetically, blue is cooling, contracting, and sedative, restoring deep yin reserves and building vitality rather than stimulating yang energy. Rudolf Steiner associated blue with the Chemical Ether, the stage where the internal energetic blueprint is established before it materializes into physical form. Wilhelm Reich also observed that orgone energy glows blue in a vacuum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGreen Frequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e The green frequency stimulates the pituitary gland, builds muscles and tissues, clears diseased cells, decongests the lungs, and eliminates germs and bacteria. It is the safest and most balanced clearing frequency in the vibrational spectrum, cleansing, detoxifying, and dissolving detrimental vibrations from the energy field. Salt carries a strong green vibration, which explains its long-standing use for purifying and preserving foods, spaces, and materials. Green marks the balance point of the visible light spectrum and the equilibrium of the manifested world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTeal Frequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e The vivid teal body color gives this stone its defining frequency. The teal frequency sits between green and blue on the vibrational spectrum, and embodies the qualities of both colors. Physically, teal supports detoxification and tissue clearing, while the blue aspect brings cooling and reduces inflammation and overactivity in the body. Energetically, teal is both dissolving and containing, reanimating and moving stagnant energy within the biofield or environment while stabilizing the entire field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTogether, the blue, green, and teal frequencies make this gem silica a powerful energetic stabilizer, one that harmonizes and rebalances the biofield rather than stimulating it, and supports clarity in your thoughts and emotions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMINERAL TYPE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gem silica (chalcedony colored by trace amounts of chrysocolla)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCUT:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cabochon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePHENOMENON:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOLOR:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vivid teal blue-green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLARITY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Translucent to opaque with minor inclusions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTRANSPARENCY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Translucent to opaque\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWEIGHT:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.21 ct.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 x 8 x 3.5mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eORIGIN:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ray Mine, Pinal County, Arizona, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTREATMENT:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHARDNESS:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5-7 (Mohs scale)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREFRACTIVE INDEX (RI):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.530-1.540\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBIREFRINGENCE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.004-0.009\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFIC GRAVITY (SG):\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.60-2.65\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCRYSTAL SYSTEM:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trigonal (cryptocrystalline quartz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCHEMICAL COMPOSITION:\u003c\/strong\u003e SiO₂ with copper and other impurities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✦ HAND-SELECTED AND VIBRATIONALLY TESTED\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis gem silica cabochon has been personally sourced and tested by Ashley Sohl, Ph.D. candidate, GIA-trained gemologist, and originator of archetypal stonework.
