The Smooth Stones made of Dumortierite are about 3,0 - 4,0cm in size and due to their thickness of about 1,0 - 1,2cm ideal for overlays, as hand caresses or pocket stones.
Each packaging unit with 0,5kg contains approx. 18 - 23 Smooth Stones.
Dumortierite is also called "Take it easy - stone", because the mineral is often used in gemstone medicine, when burdensome things should be let go. Dumortierite is also often used to overcome long-practiced behaviors.
The first finding of Dumortierite was in 1881 in a quarry in the French department of Rhône; the first scientific description was taken by the mineralogist M.F. Gonnard. The latter named the newly discovered mineral in honor of the French paleontologist Eugène Dumortier (1801 - 1876). Occasionally found spellings like dumorterite, dumortiriet, dumortirite or dumoterite are therefore not correct.
