Trolleite Nine-Tailed Fox Carvings G-L - Choose your own

Trolleite is a rare aluminum phosphate mineral that is commonly found as an inclusion in quartz along with other minerals. Trolleite was first found in Sweden in 1868 and named for chemist and attorney general, Hans Gabriel Trolle-Wachtmeister. Since then, it has been found in other places where quartz is found in large masses, most notably Brazil. Trolleite is often found as a lighter blue inclusion in quartz, but with inclusions of other iron minerals such as Lazulite can present as a deeper blue.

The Nine-Tailed Fox appears in Chinese, Korean, and Japanese Folklore as a mythical fox spirit. It is known as húli jīng (fox spirit) in China, the kitsune (fox) in Japan, and the kumiho (nine-tailed fox) in Korea. The Nine-Tailed Fox first appears in the Shanhai jing, a Chinese text that translates to "Classic of Mountains and Seas" which was a compilation of mythical geography and beasts dating back, perhaps as far as the 4th century BCE. Korean mythology sees the Nine-Tailed Fox as a trickster or shape-shifting evil spirit, however it is usually seen as a symbol of peace, prosperity, and good fortune. It is also seen as a symbol of wisdom, as their tails increase as their wisdom increases until they get to the highest level of nine.

We are always careful to dig deeper into the popular energetic qualities of crystals that do not have a long historical precedence, such as Trolleite. However, all blue crystals bring calm, clarity, and communication in some capacity, and Trolleite's special power seems to be in communication with one's higher self. For this reason, it is a wonderful stone to use in meditation, as it enhances one's intuition and invites the emotional healing that comes from being on a path that is aligned with one's higher self.

Photography

Although we always strive to provide clear, accurate images of our crystals and other products, we photograph under professional lighting, which is meant to mimic sunlight. If you get your crystal and think it looks a little different under low or artificial light, try checking it out again in sunlight!

Our crystals are one-of-a-kind art, created by nature.

No two pieces are the same, and there is no such thing as "perfection" in nature.

When it comes to our hand-carved items, remember that artists work with and around imperfections, druzy pockets, and other natural variations to bring each carving out of a piece of natural stone.

We consider these imperfections to be one of the most wonderful parts of crystal collecting, and we invite you to embrace each carving's uniqueness!

We will always try to portray each piece honestly, so be sure to look closely at our images and videos to ensure you know what to expect.
