MINERALOGY: Its formation is due to altered basalts and andesites. It is associated with prehnite, ellagita and mesolite.

MYTHOLOGY: Since it was identified by the naturalist Von Lasaulx in 1876, a certain mystery has surrounded the Aerinite, there are many causes, the most important, we must mention the great chemical variability hardly two samples of Aerinite have the same chemical composition and extremely fibrous character that makes it very difficult to imaging with atomic resolution electron microscopy technique. Finally, there is evidence to show that this pigment incorporated into the structure a small amount of carbonate groups. Being a silicate, this presence is rare, which has been considered as an impurity carbonate groups.

PROPERTIES: Properties has the ability to enhance the mind and increase personal magnetism.

CHAKRAS: Throat, eyebrows.
