Gaspeite
Gaspeite
is a rare semi-precious gemstone that has the most strikingly beautiful
chartreuse to apple green color. If you have never seen it, then you
haven’t been shopping in places that
sell Native American
made jewelry.
This unique stone is found in only two places in the world. In 1966 it was discovered in the Gaspe Peninsula, Quebec, Canada, hence the name. Later it was also found in Western Australia. Unfortunately both mines are almost completely played out.
In the article Uncovering the Semi-Precious Gem Gaspeite, the writer states that “some call it the friendship stone because it draws others to those who wear it.” This does not surprise me as I have witnessed so many of our customers drawn to it as soon as they walk into our store.
The green color of this stone is comparable to green turquoises found in Nevada such as those found in the Carico Lake and Damele mines, however it is a nickel carbonate, not a turquoise. There are imposter stones that are dyed to look like it. Genuine gaspeite often has some brownish matrices in it which give it a distinctive character. It is a little softer stone than turquoise and should be treated with some care to prevent it from being scratched, cracked or broken. Due to the fact that it is a scarce commodity, this gem has grown in popularity among stone and jewelry collectors alike. All of our gaspeite jewelry is Native American made in New Mexico.
