Collection: Thulite

Thulite, also known as rosaline, is a striking pink variety of the mineral zoisite that owes its vibrant color to the presence of manganese. First discovered in Norway in the early 19th century, it was named after the mythical island of Thule, which is often associated with Scandinavia. This gemstone is highly prized by lapidaries and carvers for its beautiful shades of pink, ranging from soft rose to deep fuchsia, frequently mottled with gray or white quartz inclusions. Because of its relatively dense and durable crystalline structure, thulite is commonly crafted into cabochons, beads, and ornamental carvings, serving as both a popular collectors' mineral and a symbol of emotional healing and compassion in metaphysical circles.
