Euclase
Stone History
Euclase belongs to the silicate group. It includes several related minerals, such as vesuvianite, datolite, and others.
The mineral was first described in 1792 by the Italian mineralogist Renato Dalla Valle. The name "euclase" comes from the Greek word "εῦκλασις" (euclasis), meaning "easily broken," due to its fragility and tendency to cleave easily.
Zodiac
Euclase is commonly associated with several zodiac signs, most notably Gemini and Libra:

Gemini: Geminis are known for their communication skills, curiosity, and charm. Euclase, with its transparency and play of light, enhances these qualities, promotes mental clarity, and stimulates creative thinking.
-
Libra: Libras seek harmony, justice, and beauty. Euclase supports relationship balance, aids decision-making, and promotes equilibrium in life.
While these signs may be more attuned to euclase's energy, stone selection should always reflect personal needs and preferences.
