Thulite is a pink variety of the manganese-bearing mineral zoisite, named after the mythical land of Thule, and is known for its vibrant rosy hues, often mottled with white calcite or quartz. Used in jewelry and for ornamental carvings, it is durable enough for these purposes with a Mohs hardness of 6 to 6.5. While primarily found in Norway, its national stone, deposits of thulite also exist in other countries like Austria, Namibia, and the United States.
How should Thulite be cleaned?
To clean Thulite, you can use a soft cloth or brush with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
Gemrock products are ethical crystals
Ethical crystals refer to stones that are sourced in a way that respects workers, communities, and the environment.
Here is what we do to guarantee that our Thulite is ethical:
No illegal mining (therefore no child labor and no mining in protected or ecologically sensitive habitats): We are not buying Thulite from illegal mines. Legality of the raw material is guaranteed by payments via bank transfer, after receiving an official invoice from the provider. Illegal miners would insist on cash payments only. By buying from legal mining operations only, we guarantee that no child labor is involved, as legal mining operations are supervised by the government and have to follow anti-child labor laws. Mining in protected areas or ecologically sensitive habitats is not allowed in Peru. By making sure we buy from legal mines, we therefore protect the environment.
No artisan shadow-business gemstone cutting: Crystal providers often promote their products as being sourced from local artisans, indicating that this would benefit local communities. Sadly, the contrary is true: In Peru, 100% of artisan lapidary workshops are shadow businesses. They get paid unreasonably low prices in cash. Artisan lapidary cutters do not work with legal labor contracts, have no health insurance, no retirement funds, no vacations, no maximum weekly labor hours, or any other labor benefits. Therefore, our Angelite gemstones are exclusively produced in-house. We are hiring our gem cutters under legal labor contracts, paying all legally required labor benefits, complying with safety laws, and providing our workers with quality gemstone cutting training and career options. We pay fair salaries that are higher than minimum salaries and get scaled upwards according to the level of training a cutter reaches. Our cutters get paid bonuses to meet quality targets and participate in the profits of the company.
We protect the environment: In Gemrock, we reduced water use in the lapidary process by over 90% by implementing water recycling measures. We recycle our garbage wherever possible. We have calculated the remaining carbon footprint of the products and engage in tree planting projects to neutralize our carbon footprint.
