Silicon Carbide - Raw
SILICONE CARBIDE (CARBORUNDUM)
Silicon Carbide is a striking, man-made crystal known for its rainbow iridescence and powerful energetic presence. Often called a “master healer,” it bridges the physical and spiritual realms—helping to elevate mood, clear negativity, and enhance intuitive awareness while keeping you grounded and centered.
Despite its luminous, otherworldly appearance, Silicon Carbide carries strong grounding energy, making it deeply supportive for the Root Chakra while harmonizing and activating all chakras. It encourages the smooth circulation of energy throughout the body, supporting clarity, communication, and creative expression. This balance between grounding and expansion makes it ideal for intuitive development, dream work, and staying energetically aligned in everyday life.
Silicon Carbide is also a powerful stone of transformation. Formed through an intense industrial process, it symbolizes the emergence of beauty and light from pressure—reminding us that growth often arises through challenge. It offers energetic protection while promoting resilience, helping you release stagnant energy and step into a more empowered, aligned state.
HISTORY
Silicon Carbide, also known as Carborundum, was the first man-made mineral invented by Edward G. Acheson in the mid 1880s. Acheson, who previously worked for Thomas Edison, founded his own laboratory to experiment with creating diamonds artificially using carbon and molten corundum. Though he was unsuccessful in creating diamonds, he discovered a substance that rivaled diamonds in hardness and abrasiveness. This led to the creation of the Carborundum Company in 1891, with a plant opening in Niagara Falls in 1895. The company's slogan, "Illegitimi Non Carborundum", gained popularity during WWII, and Carborundum also became a major source for graphite lubricants. Nowadays, most Carborundum specimens are manufactured in abrasive factories, but collectors highly treasure the rare specimens with intricate geometric patterns.
