A Brief Introduction

Kammererite crystal close-up
Chromium Clinochlore
Kammererite is a chromium-bearing variety of clinochlore that shows soft violet, wine-red or pinkish tones, often as platy crystals or shimmering coatings on matrix. Its delicate colour and layered structure make it more suited to specimens and gentle jewellery than to high-impact wear. In crystal work it is chosen for energetic alignment, boundaries and clear, compassionate adjustment of your habits and priorities.

Origin & History

Where Kammererite comes from and how people have worked with it over time.

Kammererite belongs to the chlorite group, specifically a chromium-rich variety of clinochlore. It forms in metamorphic environments where aluminium silicates and other minerals are altered by fluids, with chromium imparting its distinctive violet to magenta hues. Crystals commonly appear as stacked plates or shimmering coatings on rock surfaces, showing strong cleavage and a somewhat flaky structure. Because of this, collectors handle specimens gently and jewellers favour protective settings. Symbolically, Kammererite is associated with alignment, boundaries and clarity. Many people work with it when they want to listen more closely to inner signals and adjust their outer life accordingly—one gentle step at a time.
