It forms in granitic pegmatites and metamorphic rocks and is found worldwide, with notable deposits in Brazil, Africa, and the United States. It has a Mohs hardness of 7 to 7.5 and is recognized by its characteristic striated, columnar crystal structure. In crystal work, it is one of the most consistently recommended stones for protection, grounding, and the transmutation of negative energy, and is considered one of the premier protective minerals available.
