Supply Chain for Thulite

This Thulite comes from an artisanal mine in England.  The pink dots are Thulite and the green matrix is Zoisite.  Thulite and Zoisite are the same mineral, the only difference being the color. The exact deposit is unknown, but it is likely in southwestern England, possibly Cornwall.  Thulite mining is typically artisanal and is relatively safe for miners 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.

Thulite Healing, Mineralogy, and History

Published June 2015  •  Updated August 2024  •  Read Time: 6 minutes
Thulite is the pink variety of Zoisite.  It was first discovered in gravel mine in Norway, but only became popular after a highway was built through the area.  The gems are also found in southern Africa and in the United States, with each deposit having a slightly different shade of pink.  Thulite is a fabulous stone for cultivating self-love and self-care.  It reminds us that self-care is much more than just relaxing or indulging.  True self-care includes every act of kindness and wisdom that improve our life.  Thulite also encourages romance and intimacy.  It is a great talisman for attracting and nurturing a life partnership based on love and respect.
