Kammererite Meaning

Kammererite guides us to our higher heart’s wisdom. It reminds us that many of our emotions and thoughts are transitory, like clouds in the sky, swiftly passing and often changing. It is good to feel them and acknowledge their message, but a wise person is careful not to confuse them with something more permanent. This is especially useful for emotions like irritation, boredom or infatuation, which are easily exaggerated if we ruminate upon them. Kammererite teaches us to feel our emotions, but to judge ourselves and others by something greater and more permanent. If emotions are clouds, our heart’s wisdom is as steady as a mountain. It is something we can always rely on, even if the clouds cover it for a little while and it is difficult to see. Kammererite reveals that our heart’s wisdom will always lead us forward in a way that is peaceful, balanced and kind. It is a lovely stone for celebrating friendship and alliances. It helps us be the kind of person that other people can rely on through thick and thin.

Kammererite encourages us to be very reasonable. It supports collaboration, diplomacy and win-win solutions. It clears away mental fog, so we can see situations accurately and not get distracted by unhelpful emotions. It inspires logic and helps us to focus on the important details without getting distracted by anything inconsequential. However, Kammererite reminds us to weigh the details carefully before deciding whether it’s important or inconsequential. It teases us to not jump to conclusions too quickly, but neither to get lost in the weeds. Instead, Kammererite helps us to be balanced and steady in our thinking and conclusions. Kammererite councils us to consider both sides of each story and to be open to new perspectives. It helps us to value truth and peace, more than the vindication of being right. It encourages us to be flexible and optimistic, while still having a strong spine and a thoughtful mind. Kammererite reminds us that for everyone to live in harmony, the balance between give-and-take needs to be appropriate for the current time and situation.

Kammererite is recommended whenever we are feeling stiff. This might mean we feel stiff in our thinking, clogged by a mental fogginess, a headache or a sinus infection. Kammererite helps us to be patient with our suffering and to take appropriate action so we can feel better as soon as possible. It reminds us that it’s normal to feel sad or irritable when we are sick and to be careful to not take those emotions out on other people. If we feel stiff in our muscles, Kammererite reminds us to exercise and stretch our body more often. It is a lovely talisman for yogis and dancers who want to be flexible and relaxed. Kammererite is also a great talisman if we have a tendency to ignore our body’s needs, for example neglecting healthy habits or avoiding the doctor. Kammererite inspires us to get back on track.

Kammererite is a rare crystal but has been found in small deposits in numerous locations. Beautiful specimens found in Austria, Ethiopia, Finland, India, Italy, Japan, Russia, Scotland, Turkey, United States (California, Maryland, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Washington).

Kammererite is mined in its primary location. In a few sites, such as the Pembe Gule Mine and Kop Krom Mine in Turkey, Kammererite crystals are the primary mineral. But in most sites, it is an accessary mineral and the main purpose of the mine is for Serpentine which may be mined for industrial or decorative uses. Kammererite is an extremely soft mineral and so can only be extracted using hand-tools.

All Kammererites are natural, enhanced only by tumbling, cutting, and polishing.

Kammererite is chromium-bearing Clinochlore, a Phyllosilicate mineral. Silicate minerals are the largest family of minerals, including more than 25% of all known minerals and 40% of all common minerals. In addition to being a major part of the Earth’s crust, Silicate minerals have also been found on the moon and in meteorites. Silicates are minerals which contain the elements Silicon (a light gray, shiny metal) and Oxygen (a colorless gas). Together, these two elements form a tetrahedron – a shape similar to a pyramid – with a Silicon atom in the center and Oxygen atoms at each of the four corners. These tetrahedra connect with other chemical structures, in six different ways, to form various minerals and rocks. There are six main groups of Silicate minerals, and these main groups are further subdivided into secondary subdivisions, such as Quartz and Feldspar. Kammererite belongs to the Phyllosilicate group, whose tetrahedra connect at three corners to form hexagonal rings.  Kammererite is a red Clinochlore, a Chlorite mineral which is sometimes called Seraphinite.

Kammererite’s energy works well with its family – other  minerals. Try it in combination with Apophyllite, Cavansite, Chrysocolla, Fuchsite, Lepidolite, Muscovite, Petalite, Prehnite and Serpentine. Or try it with Chlorite Quartz and Seraphinite.
