Epididymite

Q: What is Epididymite made of?

Epididymite has the chemical formula NaBeSi₃O₇(OH), crystallises in the orthorhombic system and measures 7 (Mohs) on the Mohs scale. Epididymite is a rare hydrated sodium-beryllium silicate that crystallises in the late-stage hydrothermal environments of alkaline nepheline-syenite pegmatites — most famously at Mont Saint-Hilaire in Québec and the Langesundsfjord in Norway. It is dimorphous with eudidymite, sharing the same NaBeSi₃O₇(OH) chemistry but differing in symmetry.

I. The Metaphysical Reading

How the stone has been held.

Epididymite is worked with as a stone of subtle discernment, kept in a small box on the study desk during scholarship, translation and any practice that asks a person to notice small differences. Practitioners hold it as a reminder that precision is a form of respect.
