Garnierite is a common name for green nickel magnesium ores.  It is created by the lateric weathering of ultramafic rocks like serpentine in tropical environments.  It is named after the 19th century French geologist Jules Garnier, who researched samples from New Caledonia in the South Pacific.  Madagascan garnierite is often sold as green moonstone because it formed along fractures in a gray to beige feldspar.

It was once believed that if you held this green moonstone in your mouth during a full moon you would be able to see your future.

Said to contain the true essence of life. It is believed that whatever you wish to acquire, whether it be spiritual, emotional, or physical, you can write the intention down on a piece of paper and place it underneath Garnierite in a sacred place and you will receive it. Helps healing from trauma. Propels you forward on your soul path and empowers you to embrace your divine self.
