Named in 1842 by Karl FE von Schafhault in honor of Johann Nepomuk von Fuchs [May 15, 1774 Mattenzell, near Bremberg, Lower Bavaria, Germany – March 5, 1856 Munich, Germany] professor of chemistry and mineralogy at the University of Landshut and curator from the mineralogy collection. Greenish type muscovite, high chromium (Cr replaces trivalent Al in the crystal structure). Fuchsite is a very insightful stone. It strengthens your sense of self-esteem and independence. The stone provides a lot of insight into the way people interact with you and the way you interact with them. It promotes healthy interaction with the people around you, without (mutual) dependence and power differences. It stimulates unconditional love and encourages you to help people in a healthy, equal way without, for example, being drained of energy or going beyond your own boundaries. The stone also works well for people who attract and absorb a lot of negative energy, emotions and tensions from people around them. It reduces the tendency to adopt a victim role and to end up in a victim role (through your behavior or that of others). Fuchsite also provides insight into diseases and can help you restore the natural balance by passing on information about the choice of, for example, certain medicinal herbs, essential oils, gemstones or (alternative) medicine. Furthermore, the stone has a positive effect on the blood, spine, muscles and nerve complaints such as RSI and CTS.
