smaltite!

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I love cobalt

also the mindat.org page for this one has a lot of interesting info. Most notably the fact it redirects to Skutterudite, apparently it was renamed a bunch of times and today Smaltite is synonym of Skutterudite. Pretty cooool

Safflorite is a rare cobalt iron arsenide mineral. In hydrothermal veins of moderate temperature and pressure.

Skutterudite is a cobalt arsenide mineral containing variable amounts of nickel and iron substituting for cobalt. Materials with a skutterudite structure are studied as a low cost thermoelectric material with low thermal conductivity. Typically in medium- to high-temperature hydrothermal veins with other Ni–Co sulfide minerals.

There are some big energy shifts coming our way. My guides wanted me to build this grid and share it so that we can start adjusting to this new wave of Light that's on its way. #theevent #5thdimension #crystalgrid #sacredstonegridding #skutterudite #starruby #wurtzite #kambaba #hemimorphite #fluorite #citrine
