Euclase

Euclase is a rare crystal known for its bright shine and beautiful blue, green, or clear colors. It sparkles like glass and often forms in sharp, clean shapes. The name “Euclase” means “easy to break,” because it splits smoothly if handled roughly. Even though it’s fragile, its light and energy feel strong, calm, and pure.

It’s made of beryllium, aluminum, silicon, oxygen, and hydrogen. This mix forms a crystal that looks delicate but feels smooth and cool to the touch. Euclase has a glassy shine and falls at 7.5 on the Mohs scale, meaning it’s quite hard and not easy to scratch. However, it also has perfect cleavage—so while it resists scratches, it can still break easily along natural lines inside the crystal, like glass.

Euclase was first found in Russia in the late 1700s. Later, it was also discovered in Brazil, Colombia, and a few other countries. It’s not as common as other gems, so collectors treasure each new find. It often forms near other crystals, such as topaz and beryl.

Crystal lovers see Euclase as a gem of honesty and focus. It’s used to clear the mind and help with clear speech. Collectors admire its shape, sparkle, and soft color. Since they are rare and difficult to cut, well-formed crystals are highly valued.

Did you know that Euclase was once believed to help people speak the truth? In ancient times, it was used during difficult conversations to encourage honesty and clear thinking. Many believed its calm energy could ease tension and protect against lies or confusion.
