A specimen of atlantisite tumbled pocket stone.

Atlantisite is a striking combination stone composed primarily of green serpentine (a magnesium silicate) intergrown with purple stichtite (a chromium-rich carbonate mineral). It is most famously found in Tasmania, Australia—more precisely at Stichtite Hill, which is the origin of the name. Smaller deposits occur in South Africa and Canada.

In metaphysical practice, atlantisite is regarded as a stone of peace, healing, and spiritual expansion. It is believed to promote emotional resilience, reduce stress, and deepen meditation. Serpentine is associated with awakening dormant energy. It relates to the flow of kundalini energy, purifying it and amplifying it. Atlantisite is often associated to the Heart Chakra and Crown Chakra; it is thought to connect compassion with higher wisdom, assisting in releasing old patterns while fostering spiritual growth and harmony. Atlantisite is a great support for meditation and tapping into deeper self-awareness.
