The Tiffany Stone consists mainly of opalescent fluorite and was discovered in the early 1970s. The basic color is purple with yellow-brown and black beryllium veins, the beige-brown parts consist of Jasper (beige).
The purple stone got its name from Todd Harris, the foreman of the Brush Wellman mine - the most famous locality of Fluorite Opal Jasper. He recognized the potential of the beautifully figured stone and felt that few people would remember "Bertrandite," the mineralogical name of the Tiffany Stone. After pondering for a while, he christened the stone "Tiffany Stone" - an elegant, easy-to-remember name in his opinion.
The now closed Brush Wellman mine is located in western Utah/USA and from it beryl minerals were extracted for industrial purposes. Meanwhile, a second site for Fluorite Opal Jasper is known nearby, the Spore Mountain Lavender Mines.
Known synonyms are "Purple Passion" and "Purple Opal".
In modern stone healing, Tiffany Stone is used to promote playful freedom, lightness and gentleness; it strengthens intuition and presence in the here & now, makes one inventive and reduces prejudice.
