Details

Thulite is the pink, manganese-bearing variety of the mineral zoisite, according to Wikipedia, which adds that it is often mottled with white calcite and was first found in Norway in 1820. Wikipedia also says that in mineralogical writing the name may sometimes cover any pink zoisite. Hall describes it as a granular mass, often large, in pink, white, red and grey, obtained from specialist stores. Hall associates it with the life force, healing and regeneration, with eloquence and curiosity, and with the open expression of passion and sexuality. She also links it to fertility and to the reproductive organs; these are her attributions, not established medicine.
