Did you know that there's a reference book describing over 2,000 different minerals from Belgium? This makes Belgium a rich mineral region. Personally, I consider Schalenblende the highlight. The mines have apparently been closed for years.

Description

Wurtzite typically forms radially radiating aggregates of needle- or rod-shaped crystals, which, together with sphalerite, form what are known as scale blende. Composition: (Zn,Fe)S, hardness: 3.5-4 & density: 4. Scale blende is yellow, beige to brown, and black in color. The stone is opaque and has a resinous to oily sheen. Scale blende promotes adaptability and the body's natural healing. It helps to endure major life changes by breaking old patterns and stimulating adaptability to new situations. The stone helps with worry and insomnia caused by the inability to stop thoughts. Scale blende has a positive effect on exhaustion, weakness, despondency, anxiety, and inner turmoil, and promotes abstract thinking, concentration, intuition, spontaneity, and communication skills. Physically, the stone has a positive effect on brain development, taste and smell, the retina, regeneration and wound healing, the immune system, diabetes, prostate problems and the gonads.
