A Brief History of Bowenite
Bowenite is a variety of serpentine and has been appreciated for centuries due to its striking green colour and ease of carving. It was first identified in the late 19th century and has since been used extensively by artisans, particularly in New Zealand and Australia. Often mistaken for jade, Bowenite became highly valued for ornamental and ceremonial pieces due to its connection with indigenous cultures.

Folklore, Myths and Tales of Bowenite
Traditionally, Bowenite is known as the “Stone of the Mind” across several cultures. It is often associated with protection and wisdom, believed to ward off negative energy and promote clarity of thought. In Maori legend, Bowenite was considered sacred and crafted into talismans worn for spiritual guidance and strength.

Healing Properties of Bowenite
Bowenite is thought to enhance emotional healing and foster tranquillity. It is said to open the heart chakra, encouraging compassion and understanding in personal relationships. Many wearers appreciate Bowenite for its calming influence and ability to reduce stress, supporting overall wellbeing and mental balance.

Physical and Geographical Properties of Bowenite
Bowenite belongs to the serpentine group mineral family and ranks around 2.5 to 4.5 on the MOHS scale of hardness. Its distinctive green colour is due to natural mineral inclusions, commonly sourced from mines in New Zealand and Pakistan. The gemstone’s durability and smooth texture make it perfect for beadwork and intricate jewellery designs.
