What Are Monatomic Andara Crystals?

I recently received this question from a new customer and thought that the answer would be helpful to all who wish a better understanding of what a Monatomic Andara crystal is.

Please tell me are these crystals or glass? Do these exist as they are or are they impregnated with monatomic particles? I haven't been able to discover these answers from your website info. Please help me to understand.

Regards A.G.

So, what are they . . . ?

Monatomic Andara crystals are like an obsidian glass material made up of monatomic metallic elements that were heated to high temperatures either by volcanism, meteor strike or other heat producing phenomena.

Monatomic metallic elements are powder-like in form and transmute to glass under high heat, similar to obsidian. 

It is their foundation of monatomic metallic elements that differentiate them from all other types of crystals, volcanic/natural glass, as well as man-made glass.

Esoteric Matter

Monatomic metallic elements are the esoteric first matter elemental structure of metal of the highest form.

As an inert and powder-like material, they are single atom structures that do not exhibit any metallic matrix, making them very hard to test for.

Standard testing methods fail to register such esoteric matter, which is misunderstood by many.

In soil samples taken from the location where the Andara crystals originated, more than 70 monatomic metallic elements were identified.

Quantum Resonance

Andara crystals are esoteric matter in the form of monatomic materials exhibiting quantum properties at a non-quantum level.

As an esoteric matter, they are considered energy/light as manifest matter of the first order in a quantum state of resonance, that being in this dimension as well as other dimensions at the same time.

Monatomic Andara crystals are heliocentric, unlike glass which is not. They also exhibit color shifts, translocation, transmission of information, time dilation and other esoteric properties.

What about all those colors . . . ?

Monatomic Andara crystals are Allochromatic in the way that color is presented as viewed in light. 

Allochromatic refers to the impurities and trace elements that color gemstones by their presence.

When traces of chromium are present in corundum, you have a red Ruby. If there is titanium present in corundum, you have a blue Sapphire. When the corundum is pure, it is colorless.

Sapphires come in all the colors of the rainbow due to the trace elements that produce each color, all in the same family of corundum.

As mentioned above, more than 70 monatomic metallic elements are present to work from. With such a palette we have the possibility of any color in the rainbow appearing.

Just a One more question . . .

I was then asked by A.G.  . . .

Thank you for a very clear and understandable answer. 
Do the Andara crystal react with or compliment other natural crystals?
Regards A.G.

To which I replied . . .

Aloha A.G.,
Andara crystals can be used to enhance, compliment, and cleanse all other crystals. It also cleanses the environment it is in as a source of  pure white light.
The only restriction Andara crystals have is the limits to your imagination on it's uses.
Blessings & Light

Mark & Linda

To which I received from A.G.  . . .

Thank you so much. I will fill that space with the imaginings of beautiful dreams ones worth recounting and resounding with magnificent love and light.

Many Blessing too

Top Ten Most Important People & Historical Events in the Andara Crystal Timeline

andara

I have been asked to compile a historical timeline by several customers who are new to Andara crystals.  As the Andara crystal expert, I have a unique relationship with the people and events that preceded the now common knowledge of the monatomic nature of Andara crystals.  Here’s the top ten:

1. Nellie Thompson known as “Lady Nellie”, a Choctaw Indian medicine woman, found the first monatomic crystal gemstone in 1969. It would be more than a decade before Nellie returned to harvest more.

2.  Allie Keith, a psychic healer who had dreams of a unknown but powerful green gemstone, visited Lady Nellie in the early 1980s and saw her vison confirmed by the monatomic crystal that Nellie had found.  Allie convinced Lady Nellie of the importance of her find and to return to the mountain to get more.

3. Simeon and Maia Nartoomid, akashic readers and channel, gave a reading on the monatomic crystals for Lady Nellie and a small circle of her closest supporters in the mid-1990s.  The name “Andara” for these crystals was channeled by them.

4. Randy Masters, a master teacher of many disciplines both scientific and metaphysical, recorded and had transcribed the channeled information. Randy made printed copies for the circle of healers and light workers to distribute with the Andara crystals.  As a vibrational sound master and scientist, Randy ran his own tests and found these new crystals to be completely new and unique in every way.

http://www.universalsong.net/about_randy.htm

5. David Hudson is credited by most people in the field as being the originator of the term “Orbitally Rearranged Monoatomic Elements”, or by its acronym, ORME. After a decade of research David gave lectures in the mid-1990s on the results of his findings on monatomic elements in the mysterious white powder found on his Arizona ranch.

6. Patrick Bailey, a well-known nutritional research specialist, pioneered the revolutionary idea of superfoods that are combined with USP nutrients and herbs. Patrick attended one of David Hudson’s lectures on his discoveries and the mysterious white powder.

While researching the healing results reported to him by Lady Nellie in 1997, he obtained samples of both the herb and a white mineral deposit around which the herb grew.  Samples were sent to Dr. Tainio for electromagnetic analysis.  Additionally, the powder tested positive for the presence of monatomic elements.

7. Dr. Bruce Tainio, a soil expert known worldwide as well as an inventor and research scientist, tested a soil sample in 1997 sent to him by Patrick Bailey.  His lab specialized in electromagnetic analysis of organic compounds, equipment invented by Dr. Tainio. The lab reported that they had never encountered such an extraordinary substance with the presence of esoteric / first matter electromagnetic properties.  An Andara crystal was also tested with similar results.

8. Life’s Treasures opened its doors to the public on Oct. 1 2001 by the husband and wife team of Mark and Linda Naea. Its mission was to create an oasis of both spiritual healing and the opportunity for metaphysical exploration while expanding ones horizons. In that respect, Life’s Treasures Kauai was a success beyond all expectations.  It was from this tiny store in the middle of the Pacific Ocean that Nellie’s Andara crystals would explode onto the metaphysical scene and the world stage in less than a year.

https://lifestreasureskauai.com

9. Peggy Black, a Sacred Sound Salutarist, Spiritual Synergist, Multidimensional Channel, recording artist, world traveler and lecturer, walked into Life’s Treasurers in the summer of 2002.  She was on Kauai to do a healing conference, and just happened across Life’s Treasures.  Peggy was one of the light workers who supported Lady Nellie by introducing people to Andara crystals.  That day Peggy was wearing an Andara pendant glowing with energy.

Mark Naea upon seeing her enter the store immediately asked her “what is that stone you are wearing?”  Peggy replied “This is an Andara crystal.”  And just like that, a new bridge was formed for the still little known mystery crystal.  Within two weeks of that event, Life’s Treasures was in touch with Lady Nellie and began its relationship with her and these special crystals.

http://www.peggyblack.com/

10. Mark Naea, Network Engineer, IT Analyst and Research Specialist, Intuitive Spiritual Guide, Crystal expert and now store owner, began his quest for answers on what made an Andara crystal so special.

From the summer of 2002 to the fall of 2003, he applied his unique specialty of intuitive and source guided research. Mark was introduced to many of the first circle of Lady Nellie’s friends and supporters and had the privilege to interview many of them by phone.

Person by person, he collected all of the disparate information and built a picture of the true uniqueness and underlying foundation that made Andara crystals what they are. From Lady Nellie to Randy Masters, Patrick Bailey to Bruce Tainio, David Hudson to quantum theories of monatomic elements, Lawrence Gardner’s research, books and countless webpages of related scientific and metaphysical materials, no stone was left unturned.

Mark’s two most special abilities are seeing how all of it was interconnected with the least bit of information and where to look next, along with the ability to recall any or all of it from memory.

Mark had collected and connected all the links, and based on this mountain of evidence, concluded that Andara crystals were monatomic, that monatomics is as old as humanity and that this secret was hidden in plain sight.

By this discovery, the floodgates of the ages was opened, as a tapestry of interwoven history and myth came together in a holographic ingram of 6th dimensional origami.

This was the secret of the Andara crystals that no one knew in 2003, the monatomic origins of Andara crystals.

There were many bridges that lead to the revelation of the origins of Monatomic Andara crystals. These crystals literally “broke the mold” when it came to defining them.  Their very nature cannot be placed in any mold, definition or description.

There were bridges of perception, experience, time, spirituality, intuition, myth, and divine inspiration.  The circle of people, places and timeframes stretched back to the furthest reaches of time, and into the limitless future.

All of the seemingly unrelated information and people came together as each took their place in the diorama, building itself before his eyes.

Divine science and quantum metaphysics merged in a paradox of contrary existences. From this dance, on November 7 2003, came the ground breaking document “Monatomic Andara Crystals – Bridging Science, Metaphysics, and Healing.”

This is the original document that set the Andara crystals on a world stage.  It has been copied the world over, used and misused, and its presence has changed everything we thought we knew on metaphysical definitions and properties.

Blessings & Light

Authentic Monatomic Andara crystals – Real Science vs Snake oil Part 1

Andara Iridescence

I have been asked countless times on how to authenticate Monatomic Andara crystals, which methods or tests are accurate, and which are just plain false advertising.

Here’s a list of the tests that DO NOT WORK to detect the presence of monatomic elements:

  1. Standard Spectroscopic analysis or ES
  2. X-Ray Analysis or Mining XRF handheld devices
  3. Cumming Microscopy
  4. Diffraction Microscopy
  5. Fluorescent Microscopy
  6. Tests based on the elemental metallic structure and conductivity.

I put this list upfront so you would not have to read the whole article to its end.  Why these tests don’t work is very simple for anyone who understands or has done any simple searches on the internet on monatomics;

“Monatomic gold . . .  it is not metallic, has none of the metallic qualities of yellow gold.”   David Hudson

The fact is, all of the above tests check for the presence of metallic structures, which are not present in monatomic elements.  This information was first published by David Hudson more than 25 years ago.

So anyone claiming to use the above methods to test for the presence of monatomics, even if it is the latest Mining XRF micro-burst x-ray devices, does not understand the basic properties of monatomics and Andara crystals.

Read on to get the full history and science of monatomics and the tests that do work.

As the person who discovered the relationship between monatomic materials and Andara crystals more than a decade ago, I have a deep understanding and relationship with both the science and related metaphysical properties they exhibit.

In order to assess the validity of any test, one must first know what is being tested for. In ancient times, gold was a valuable known metal highly sought after, but easily counterfeited.  There was but one way to test for the presence of gold – the so-called touchstone.

Among the merchants and assayers of the Middle East, the touchstone was their most guarded secret. This was the one and only test that confirmed the presence of gold. With it, all doubt was removed as to its authenticity.

It was this touchstone that created the bridge to a cash state, trade, coinage and the beginnings of civilization and nation states. Gold could be assayed, valued, traded with assurance and made a cornerstone of value and security.

To this day, the touchstone is still in use by assayers and gold buyers.  If you walk into a pawn shop to sell a gold necklace, a touchstone is used to assay its carat value.

Is there a touchstone for monatomic materials and Andara crystals?  To answer that question, we must first know what monatomic materials are.  Once we have an understanding, we can then proceed to what tests will or will not work to confirm their presence.

Like a Sherlock investigation, the evidence is right in front of us if only we look closely enough.  It is with this eye for detail that we will use to discover that which will lead to our answer.

Each detail provides the answer to a certain question; the trick being able to know what each question is. From there a profile is built by the details and questions they answer, until an overall framework comes into clarity.

“What is it?” asked David Hudson when he found a mysterious white powder on his property in Arizona more than 25 years ago.  It is a fitting question to start our investigation.  As a farmer and part-time miner, David was more than just curious as to the meaning of this unknown substance.

As a hobbyist gold miner, David employed the well-known emission spectroscopy (ES) test. Emission Spectroscopy is the science of analyzing the light frequencies of elements that have been ionized in an arc of electricity between two electrodes.

In laymen’s terms, you zap your test sample and record the light given off. This is spectroscopic analysis.  The arc electrode used burns away within 15 seconds, which most western Spectroscopists claim is all that is needed to read and identify the material tested.

David’s test material showed a 2% mix of iron, silicon and aluminum. The other 98% was unknown.  The 15 second Spectroscopic analysis of the sample failed to resolve this mystery.   For three years David worked to resolve this. But even with the removal of the 2% that was identified, there still was no clue as to what the other 98% was.

David went back to Cornell University, where he worked with a Ph.D. who did X-Ray Analysis.  Comprehensive tests involved X-Ray Analysis, Cumming Microscopy, Diffraction Microscopy, Fluorescent Microscopy, Emission Spectroscopy and five other element technologies. The results were the same, 98% nothing there.  The Ph.D. had no idea what it meant and said it was “pure nothing.”

Not one to accept such nonsense, David remembered that the Emission Spectroscopy test done was based on American standards of 15 seconds, whereas the most prestigious scientific body in the Soviet Union, the Soviet Academy of Sciences, recommended an Emission Spectroscopy test that was 300 seconds, that’s 2000% longer.

There was no Emission Spectroscopy lab in the US that could do a 300 second test, so he built one.  Understand that David was a self-made millionaire, and spent millions of his own money in his quest for answers.

David flew in an ES engineer from Germany, the actual inventor of the process to make this type of lab equipment, and discovered a new type of matter – monatomic elements.

The process involved removing all oxygen from the ES testing arc and replacing it with Argon gas. In this environment the carbon electrode will last the full 300 seconds. At 15 seconds, iron, silicon and aluminum showed up as expected.

Then the sample went quiet.  Finally, after 90 seconds, Palladium began to read; after 110 seconds, Platinum began to read; at 130 seconds, Ruthenium; at about 140-150 seconds, Rhodium; at 190 seconds, Iridium; at 220 seconds, Osmium began to read.

The Russians call this fractional vaporization.  This was not news to the Russian professors that David was working with, as they had perfected this test quite a while ago.

David Hudson’s discovery and the path he took to it gives us quite a few answers to our question of a touchstone test for Monatomics.

We now know that monoatomic elements are not metallic and have none of the metallic qualities or atomic structures of normal metals and are the reason why the following tests DO NOT WORK:

  1. Standard Spectroscopic analysis or ES
  2. X-Ray Analysis or Mining XRF handheld devices
  3. Cumming Microscopy
  4. Diffraction Microscopy
  5. Fluorescent Microscopy
  6. Tests based on the elemental metallic structure and conductivity.

Our first touchstone is the 300 second Spectroscopic analysis or Emission Spectroscopy test as recommended by the Soviet Academy of Sciences.  The lab that David built cost more than $100,000 at current prices.  So yes, it is a touchstone, but its expense makes it impractical.

But with the discovery of monatomics, came the discovery that they were superconductors at the molecular level, with an ancient history of use as old as man.

Thus begins our next chapter.   To read Chapter 2  “Click Here“.

The Violet Flame

The Alchemist’s Dream

FOR CENTURIES, alchemists have sought to change base metals into gold. But the transmutation of metals like lead into gold is symbolic of a higher and more noble alchemy — the alchemy of self-transformation.

SELF-TRANSFORMATION was the goal of the most spiritual of alchemists. They sought a way to change the lead of negative human energy into the gold of divine energy, and some of them achieved this by using the violet flame. But first, let’s explore what the violet flame is, what it does and how it works.

The violet flame (also called the violet fire) is a unique spiritual energy that can help you in all areas of your life. It can heal emotional and physical problems, improve your relationships, help you to grow spiritually, or just make life easier.

The flame is the essence of a unique spiritual light. Mystics of all ages have glimpsed a “spiritual spectrum” behind the physical spectrum. Radiant colors, more pure and rare than those found on earth, emanate from a brilliant, “inner” divine light. Just as a ray of sunlight passing through a prism refracts into seven colors, spiritual light splits into seven colors, or “rays” – each of which has specific divine qualities. The violet flame comes forth from the violet ray, which has the qualities of mercy, forgiveness, freedom and transmutation.

The color violet has long been associated with spirituality. Having the highest frequency in the visible spectrum, violet is at the point of transition to the next octave of light. To the ancients, this transcendental color was a spiritual rather than a physical phenomenon.

Saints and adepts throughout the ages have known how to use the violet flame, but it was only released to the public earlier this century by an Ascended Master called Saint Germain. Ascended Masters are enlightened spiritual beings who once walked the earth like you and me. They balanced their karma (paid their debts to life) and fulfilled their reason for being. They then ascended, or reunited with God. You probably already know the names of a few Ascended Masters – Jesus Christ, Gautama Buddha and Krishna.

What the Violet Flame Does

Ever wish there was a way you could wipe out your past mistakes?

While you can’t go back in time, the violet flame has the power to erase, or transmute the cause, the effect, and even the memory of our past mistakes. Transmutation means to change – to alter in form, appearance or nature. The violet flame changes negative energy into positive energy, darkness into light, “fate” into opportunity. The flame also erases the resultant “bad karma” of our mistakes.

Our past actions – both good and bad – do come back to us. This is the law of karma. This impersonal cosmic law decrees that whatever we do comes full circle to our doorstep for resolution; simply, what goes around comes around.

In general, most people must pay their debt to life, or “balance” their karma, by selflessly reaching out and helping others, by working through misfortunes that come their way, or by passing through diseases or other forms of personal suffering. But it need not be so with the violet flame! The violet flame is able to transmute or mitigate our negative karma before it comes back to us.

On the physical level, the violet flame can help heal our bodies by removing the karma that makes us vulnerable to illness and disease. But the real cause of disease is often rooted in our mental, emotional and spiritual states.

Today, we are discovering more and more about how our thoughts and emotions can affect our health. Research has shown that hatred and other negative thoughts and feelings actually create excess amounts of acid in the body that it cannot assimilate. These negative thoughts and feelings often originate in emotional and psychological problems, which the violet flame can help to resolve. The scars of old hurts and painful memories may be healed and dissolved when the healing balm of the violet flame is applied.

How the Violet Flame Works

The violet flame works by changing “vibrations”. In physics, vibration is the speed of oscillation – the speed at which something moves back and forth. On the atomic level, vibration can be understood to be the speed at which electrons orbit around the nucleus of the atom. The violet flame works by changing vibrations on this level.

Atoms are mostly empty space. The empty space between the nucleus and the electrons is where negative energy and karma can become stuck. When the atoms in our bodies and auras become clogged with this negativity, the electrons whirl slower and slower, and we begin to resonate more with negativity, and less with light – we have a lower vibration, and become less spiritual.

The violet flame transmutes this negative energy. It does not simply surround and remove the energy, but transforms it into light. Because there is less density within the atom, the electrons whirl faster and faster, thereby raising your vibration.

When you have a higher vibration, there is more spiritual energy in your body. Acupuncturists and yogis know that optimum health comes when this spiritual energy flows freely throughout the body. The violet flame frees up this energy and re-establishes harmony and equilibrium, propelling you into a more spiritual state of being.

The Alchemist’s Dream

The violet flame is a tool of self-transformation. Physical experiments in alchemy whereby base metals are transformed into gold are symbolic of what the violet flame does.

In medieval times, alchemists attempted to transmute base metals into gold, using heat to separate the “subtle” from the “gross”. While there have always been alchemists who sought to create wealth by transmuting base metals, this process of transmutation is symbolic of a higher and more noble alchemy – the alchemy of self-transformation.

Alchemists of the Spirit did not seek physical wealth, but spiritual wealth. They sought to transform themselves into more spiritual beings, by becoming more loving, wise and compassionate. The violet flame has the capacity to bring about this transformation by transmuting negative elements within ourselves. It has the unique ability to transform fear into courage, anxiety into peace and hatred into love.

Alchemists of all ages have sought the mystical philosophers’ stone. Early alchemists pored over minutely ciphered texts in search of this stone. For them, it was worth a lifetime to decode the mystery of this “stone” which symbolized the transmutation of the lower animal nature into the highest and divine. The coveted philosophers’ stone – “the stone which is no stone” – was not physical, but spiritual, and created out of fire.

Some alchemists did discover the secret of the violet flame. According to Neoplatonist alchemists, the philosophers’ stone was a self-transforming fire that would lead their souls upward, by drawing up to the Spirit all qualities which dragged downward and opposed the spiritual essences. In the process, the “hard and refractory materials” in their bodies would be transmuted into a rare and more luminous material. In this sacred experiment, they said the alchemist would become “like the gods”, pursuing “the gold of the wise and not the vulgar metal”.

Transmutation, then, was not just a process which turned base metals into gold, but a spiritual process which raised the soul into a state of unity with the Divine.

How to Use the Violet Flame

The violet flame is practical and easy to use.

Find a place where you won’t be disturbed, and sit comfortably in a straight chair with your spine and head erect, legs and arms uncrossed and feet flat on the floor. Rest your hands on your upper legs, with palms facing upwards.

The violet flame is invoked through “decreeing” – a unique form of spoken prayer utilizing visualization and meditation. One of the simplest decrees to the violet flame is: “I AM a being of violet fire! I AM the purity God desires!” Take a few, slow deep breaths and center in your heart. Start out slowly, giving the decree with love, devotion and feeling. Repeat the decree three or nine times to begin with; you can gradually increase this to 36, 72 or even 144 repetitions. Repeating the decree strengthens its power and draws down more light.

Once you are familiar with the decree, you can close your eyes while giving it and concentrate on visualizing the violet flame. See yourself before a large bonfire, about nine feet high and six feet wide. Color it violet in your imagination, and see the flames pulsating and undulating in endless shades of violet with gradations of purple and pink. Then see yourself stepping into the flame, so the violet flame is where you physically are. See your body as transparent, with the flames curling up from beneath your feet, passing through and around your body, clear up over your head.

Often the words of a violet flame decree invoke ideas for other violet flame visualizations – decreeing is meant to be fun so be creative and use your imagination!

To those who have developed their spiritual sight, the violet flame appears as a physical violet fire. You may also be able to “see” the violet flame at work with your inner eye, by concentrating on the spiritual center between your eyebrows.

You can also use the violet flame to help family and friends. Just visualize the violet flame around them while you give the decree, and add a prayer before you start. The violet flame can also help others that you might not be aware of. After you have finished decreeing, you can ask: “In the name of the Christ within me, I ask that this violet flame be multiplied and used to assist all souls on this planet who are in need. I thank you and accept it done according to the will of God.”

Even a few minutes of violet flame will produce results, but persistence is needed to penetrate age-old habits you would like to change. You can start out with just a few minutes of violet flame in the morning to help you through the day, and you can add the violet flame to whatever prayers or meditations you currently practice.

“Original Blue” – Source unseen yet Present

Blue Andara

Aloha Everyone,

This is the story that unfolded in the process of photographing this special Andara crystal. The images and it’s revelations  as communicated to me from source via this light gateway are just amazing, given the fact of how this Andara has been working with us  for so long unnoticed.

This large, one of a kind “Heart” Andara comes from the original find of Andaras over 20 years ago. This color was simply called “Blue” back then, but shares the properties of Celestial Gold: It translates the “Light of Heaven” at the atomic level, heralding the Grand Shift from a world of reflections to that of Radiant Light.

This Andara crystal weighs 3523.9 g. and comes from the center, or “heart,” of a larger Andara.

Many Andara crystals tend to work in the background, like the hand of god, unseen yet present. I didn’t see this when I took the Blue Andara photos, but it is clear to see now. Linda and I could feel and see the light energy radiating from this special crystal, yet its story was still waiting to be told.

You see, in the very center of the crystal is a mother humpback whale with a baby calf on its back. It is clear as day to me now, yet I did not see it, even after I had a print made.

This is a special mother Earth Andara crystal, nurturing from the depths of the divine. You can see how the baby is upheld on the mother’s back as they swim through this blue crystal. As divas of the deep, the oceans reverberate with their songs in celestial symphony.

Overlooking them is Rainbow Crow, protector and savior of mankind, who has direct access to god. You can literally see the light of heaven being directed from above onto the mother whale and calf from the brow of the crow. You can also see a rainbow on the crow’s shoulder.

All of this was captured in this photo, but unseen until now. Wow! These are the hand of god’s helpers, unseen, yet there. Upholding our light, watching over us in our time of need, reminding us of our divine connection, for we are all one in the light of our being.

Blessings & Light
Øm “not mark” and Linda

Andara FAQ’s

 

When were they discovered?

The answer depends on who you ask, like the question of who discovered America. My personal belief is that they have been in use for much longer than most think.  From my personal research and the research of others, Andara crystals have been in use since ancient times, with some estimates of more that 10 thousand years ago.  In modern times, Lady Nellie is attributed to their rediscovery more than 40 years ago in the US.

When or who discovered their Monatomic properties?

It was myself, Mark Naea, who made the discovery that Andara crystals are monatomic in 2002-2003 while researching their properties and origins from the tiny island of Kauai.  I published my research and findings in the ground breaking document “Monatomic Andara Crystals: Bridging Science, Metaphysics, and Healing” in 2003. This became the foundation of all of the information of their monatomic nature written about today.

How can there be so many different colors of Andara crystals?

The science of crystal and gem color is based on idiochromatic or allochromatic properties and the inclusion of different metals within each variety of gemstone. Each color is a result of the way gemstones absorb and reflect light.

Idiochromatic refers to the gems ability to absorb light, a good example is peridot that absorbs all colors except green, therefore appearing green.  The reason for this is that Peridot contains iron.  Idiochromatic gemstones are rare and sometimes called “self-colored.”

Allochromatic refers to the impurities and trace elements that color gemstones by their presence. When traces of chromium are present in corundum you have a red ruby. If there is titanium present in corundum, you have a blue sapphire.  When the corundum is pure, it is colorless.  Sapphires come in all the colors of the rainbow due to the trace elements that produce each color, all in the same family of corundum.

In soil samples taken from the location where the Andara crystals originated, more than 70 monatomic metallic elements were identified.  With such a palette to work from, we have the possibility of any color in the rainbow appearing.

 

Blessings & Light
