This Idocrase was mined in Rift Valley Providence, Kenya. It is likely a byproduct of Granite or Marble mining, and has a low environmental impact.

This lapidary drum tumbles stones in Cape Town, South Africa. It is a family business, founded by a father and passed on to his sons. Factory workers have safe conditions and are paid fairly. The lapidary sells primarily at two gemshows, one in the United States and the other in France.

I have been doing business with this source since 2014. They are the oldest tumbling company in the world and have more varieties, in more sizes, than any other known source. The company started in California in the 1950s and was eventually bought by a British immigrant who had young sons. Eventually the company moved to South Africa in order to be closer to the source of their best-selling stone and to have the legal rights to export it. The company is now run by the sons and their childhood best friend.

The current owners personally visit many small and large mines. To connect with artisanal miners in sub-Sahara Africa, they work with local Gem Dealers who travel far into the bush to buy from part-time miners. The majority of these Gem Dealers are women. Some, but not all, of their stones are labeled with country-of-origin. For those that aren’t, I ask the owners directly. As I’ve learned more about mining practices in individual countries, I have become increasingly selective about what I will purchase from them. However, they remain my preferred source for most of the stones I sell from sub-Sahara Africa.

Idocrase Healing, Mineralogy, and History

Published January 2021  •  Updated August 2024  •  Read Time: 6 minutes
Idocrase is a synonym for the mineral Vesuvianite.  While Vesuvianite is the more proper name scientifically, Idocrase is often used in the jewelry and metaphysical industry to refer to the gemmy translucent crystals.  The crystal can be formed in metamorphic or igneous rocks, but it is famous for its close ties to volcanos.  The gem was first seen on Mount Vesuvius, a volcano which towers above Naples, Italy.  This is one of the most active and dangerous volcanoes to humans and was responsible for burying the ancient Roman city of Pompaii.  Idocrase is a stone of harmony and balance.  It helps us to know what words and actions will serve the Highest Good.
