Vanadinite
Vanadinite is a rare bright orange/Red phosphate mineral. It is sometimes mined as an ore for Vanadium, a metal used to strengthen steel, which is almost always found compounded in minerals, rather than free-forming. The Vanadinite sold in the collector’s market is mined on a small-scale specifically for its beauty. Because it is very soft and fragile, it is usually left in its natural state rather than being polished. Vanadinite is closely associated with Freya, the Norse Goddess of love and beauty, which is usually depicted as having bright red hair. Vanadinite urges us to take action about the topics that matter most to us. It is a wonderful stone for activists and dreamers.
