Bronzite Tumbled Crystal

This tumbled stone is listed as Bronzite Tumbled Crystal (shop SKU HBRN), and is sold at Namaste Bookshop near Union Square.

Bronzite is a magnesium-iron silicate in the pyroxene group, typically brown with a bronze-like sheen. In crystal traditions, bronzite is associated with a steady, protective feeling. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

Tumbled stones are polished in a drum, which softens sharp edges and brings out color. Natural stones vary in color, clarity, and shape, so the piece you receive will have its own character even when the weight, grade, or size is listed.
