EVDIALITE (LAPAR BLOOD)

Characteristics of the mineral.

The chemical composition is complex and unstable, cerium, lanthanum, yttrium, iron, manganese (Na, Ca) 6Zr (Si6O18) (OH.Cl) are present in appreciable amounts .Evdialite is the most beautiful and rare stone. It can be slightly radioactive due to impurities Rare earth metals, found only in 3 places in the world (Kola Peninsula, Greenland, Canada), and in significant quantities only on the Kola Peninsula.Eudialyte forms tightly intergrown in the mass of crystals, but is more often observed as granular excretions among nepheline and Apatite.The color of the stone is red: from raspberry to cherry, other colors are associated with the processes of changing and decomposing the mineral.The illuminated intergrown eudialyte crystals are semi-precious stone, complicated in processing (bordered by cabochon), sometimes in jewelry and handicrafts for eudialyte give away other ornamental stones And minerals of red or pink color with black inclusions, but eudialyte is easily distinguished from other minerals of red and pink color (it is like luminous blood in any light).

Physical features of natural eudialytes.

This mineral contains radioactive components , sometimes in large quantities. From the point of view of crystal physics, natural eudialytes of small size, not intensely colored, with small inclusions of eudialyte , are colored correctly and harmless from the point of view of the level of radiation (up to 19-24 milli / g / hour) - they are colored by a small number of compounds of radioactive elements or contain them in small Quantities.

If the eudialytes are colored intensively or have large dimensions, the probability is high that this causes an increased natural level of radiation radiation of natural eudialytes and their inclusions in rocks (from 29-32 milli-radentgen / hour and higher) - they are categorically forbidden to be stored in home collections, And industrial faceting (especially in production facilities where a large number of personnel work). They are strictly forbidden to be irradiated and ennobled in nuclear reactors and transported in large quantities (in total from 29-32 milli-radentgen / hour and above). It is forbidden to transport radioactive stones without the sign "radiation" and without additional declaration at the customs ("radioactive").

It is safe to wear small natural eudialytes, regardless of their shape on their hands (in rings and bracelets - "wristbands") and on their legs - as far from the thyroid gland, birthmarks, large moles (especially bulging), from the breast, superficial lymph nodes and M. Easily damaged by radiation objects on the human body. In any case, for reasons of safety and environmental friendliness, it is not recommended to wear natural eudialytes permanently and keep large samples of this mineral in the apartment or office (the house and apartment are not a mineralogical museum with an allowable radiation level from 32 to 120 milli-radentgen / hour and higher for special exposures and mineralogical Spetshranov).

Dangerous is the direct contact with the body and the wearing of point and diffuse sources of radiation and radioactive components on the body (about 50% of the radiation is absorbed by contact with the outer surface of the body and about 100% of the radiation - when a radioactive or contaminated object is ingested).

Magic properties of stones.

The stone is often called "Lappish (Saami) blood." The Saami (Lopari) are the indigenous inhabitants of the Kola Peninsula and the north of Finland. In this harsh land tell the legend of the battle between the brave Saami warriors and conquerors who decided to conquer the proud people. Long days and nights the battle continued. At last the enemies retreated, but many Sami fighters fell in that battle, and the blood spilled by them froze in the form of a wonderful red stone. Magical properties are poorly studied, they are close to ruby ​​- a stone of passion, but more fatal. Eudialyte - a remedy against hallucinations and melancholy. He is also worn to protect himself from evil spirits. Eudialyte relieves of anguish and mitigates sorrow. If it is worn at the time of depression, it speeds up the way out of this state, gives hope and transforms reality. Eudialyte also has the ability to enhance any magical power or energy, both white and black. Amulets from the eudialyte bring the owner a sense of self-confidence, courage and invulnerability. Therefore, it can rightfully be considered a military stone, because Already for millennia, many use it as a winning stone. It is a rare mineral.
