About Nuummite


About Nuummite

Nuummite, the bowels of the earth still hide countless treasures. Every decade, geologists delight us with new wonderful discoveries. The hero of today's post was born billions of years ago but showed itself only in the late 20th century. Nuummite, conceived by a volcano and grown in the cold earth, is one of the youngest minerals used in jewelry.

The History of Nuummite

Nuummite gemstone is known in trade since the early 1980s although it was officially discovered 200 years ago. It is mined in Greenland in the Nuuk region, which shared its name with the mineral. Although the stone has been put on the map recently, its age exceeds 3 billion years. Nuummite fields in Greenland can be reached only by boat and only a few months a year when the ground is not frozen. For a long time, Greenland’s fields had remained the only source of nuummite. Today, the semi-precious stones are also found in Finland, the USA, China, Canada, and Russia.

Physicochemical Properties of Nuummite

The official scientific term for rare metamorphic rock is anthophyllite-hydrite. The two minerals are the building blocks of nuummite. In addition, the gem has gathered an impressive collection of chemical elements in its composition – magnesium, iron, aluminum, silicon, oxygen, hydrogen, etc.
Various admixtures and impurities (copper, pyrite, augite, pyrite, garnet, etc.) affect the color of the stone and its patterns. Dark gray and black specimens are the most widespread but you can also spot brownish-red or brownish-green gems. Most stones have splashes of red, purple, green, blue, gold, or yellow arranged in unique patterns. The inhomogeneous structure of the mineral ensures iridescence, i.e. multicolored glow. These rich color transitions make nuummite a sought-after choice for jewelry. For the same reason, the stone rarely undergoes faceted cutting. Smooth cuts en cabochon emphasize the iridescence and improve the visual impact of the gem. In addition, they enhance the glass luster.
Nuummite is opaque and fairly solid rock having 6.5-7.0 points on the Mohs scale. However, it is not scratch-resistant, so it is best suited for necklaces, pendants, headpieces, pins, and earrings.

Nuummite Value

Natural nuummite is not the most expensive gem. A small cabochon is going to cost approximately $30-50, and $100 is a price for designer pieces set in silver. Despite affordable prices, nuummite is sometimes counterfeited. On top of that, unscrupulous sellers may pass cheaper black stones, such as larvikites, off as nuummite. Therefore, you should always require certificates of origin before purchasing gems.

Nuummite Role In Astrology

Given its volcanic origin, nuummite will suit the elements of Fire, Water, and the Earth. It is especially beneficial for Aries and Sagittarius. The stone does its best to help these signs bring their endeavors to completion and become victors. Pisces is also compatible with the stone.

Women Pisces enhance their charm when wearing nuummite and men become more convivial.
