![]() ![]() Pick it up and compare its weight in your hands. Raw Jet – By Geni (Photo by user:geni), via Wikimedia CommonsUnder a microscope, you can see the old tree’s cell walls! Pretty cool.īecause of this cell-wall kind of structure, it’s very lightweight and that’s one of your clues when comparing it to their black stones. It’s considered to be coal and forms when pieces of wood from a tree get buried in sediment and get “coalified.” This process took place a looooong time ago we’re talking literal Jurassic Period here. So it’s organic and not a mineral at all. Why? Because it originates from a once-living thing a tree. Jet is not a crystal/mineral…it lacks a crystalline structure. The non-minerals, although usually lumped in with the rest of the crystals, are not technically minerals because they don’t have one very important aspect that all minerals must have: a crystalline atomic matrix, a repeating geometric pattern among their atoms. I’ve divided the stones into 2 sub-groups of “non-mineral” & “mineral.” ![]() Now let’s get into the subtle differences… I’m going to focus on the 5 most common ones:Īs most black stones usually are, all 5 of these are considered to generally be energetically grounding, protective and usually resonating well with either the Earth Star Chakra or Root Chakra. There are several common ones that all polish up pretty shiny, making it almost impossible to tell them apart both physically and sometimes even energetically.īut there are slight differences and I’m going to tell you what to look for right here. How to tell the difference between our many shiny black tumbled stones. ![]() A common question I get from my students in my Certified Crystal Practitioner Course is: ![]()
