Microline




A feldspar mineral that aids in managing daily stress by dispelling fear and worry. Soothing to the central nervous system, it is also a very relaxing stone. Use it to handle anguish and anger for it promotes a very pacifying subtle energy. **Avoid using Lodestone with Microcline. The lodestone will take out the universal life force of the Microcline.

Microcline which is composed of Potassium Aluminum Silicate, is classified as a tectosilicate mineral in the feldspar group. A greenish-blue variety known as "Amazonite" is popular with mineral collectors as well as for use as a semi-precious stone by jewelers and as an ornamental stone. Microcline is a significant component of many granites, syenites (rocks that are similar to granite), and gneisses, and is often found in association with muscovite, plagioclase feldspars, and quartz. It can vary in color from off-white to pale yellow, pink, brown, or green. It has a vitreous to pearly or dull luster and a white streak.
