Introduction to Colombianite

See our selection of genuine Colombianite here!

Colombianite , also called Piedra Rayo (lightning stone), is an enormously valuable and powerful pseudotektite formed by ancient volcanic activity. In appearance, it resembles tektites such as Moldavite and Libyan Desert Glass , but its origin is more comparable to Obsidian , a volcanic glass.

Colombianite has a very distinctive appearance that makes it different from Obsidian, and it is also extremely powerful in its vibration, which makes it completely its own.

The origin and historical significance of Colombianite

Colombianite is rare, and is only found in a limited area in Colombia and Peru in South America, where it is primarily the indigenous people who collect these pseudotectics, which are scattered across the earth's surface.

Colombianite is believed to be over 30 million years old, which is unique for any type of volcanic glass. Only a few hundred kilograms of Colombianite have been found over time, and is sought after by collectors worldwide.

It is also known from earlier civilizations, especially the Muisca tribe, an ancient civilization that dates back to before the Spanish conquest that began in the late 15th century and extended into the 16th century. This indigenous tribe was particularly famous for their knowledge of minerals and crystals: they were skilled craftsmen, where their carvings of precious metals and minerals are particularly noteworthy.

Colombianite is a sacred stone according to the Muisca people, where it is used by shamans to create contact with the spiritual world. 

The meaning and energy of Colombianite

The meaning and energy of Colombianite revolves largely around its ability to create contact with the spiritual world, and its high spiritual vibrations, which make it fantastic to use to receive messages from the Universe and from your guides, angels, and spirits.

Colombianite is especially good if you have felt disconnected from your spiritual essence and want to rekindle this fire. It is able to open up stagnant or hidden energies within us, and helps us to transform towards the higher self and the authentic path.
