Supply Chain for Chiastolite

This Chiastolite comes from artisanal miners in Hunan, China. The exact deposit is unknown, but is most likely either a granite mine or following a vein of tin.

This lapidary hand-polishes stones in Hong Kong, China. It is woman-owned and managed. Factory workers have safe conditions and are paid fairly. It is also an exporter that sells at gemshows in Hong Kong and the United States.

I first met this source at the 2014 Tucson Gem Show. A language barrier coupled with the quick pace of the gem show, makes it difficult to discuss sensitive or complicated topics. Every year I speak with the owner, often asking questions about the same stones, but getting slightly different answers. The communication problem makes me highly selective about which stones I will buy from her. If the stone is from mainland China, and I can independently determine its likely mining origin, I will buy it since short supply chains are important. If a stone is from another country, I am more cautious.

In 2020, I became friends with a German wholeseller who has personally visited the Hong Kong supplier and was able to provide me with detailed information about working conditions.

Chiastolite has a calm and grounding presence that helps us to become our Highest Self.  It helps us to focus during prayer and meditation so that we are fully present in our spiritual life rather than merely reciting our prayers by rote.
