Most of the uncut Melody stones currently on the market come from the Medina Mine across the border in Minas Gerias State Brazil which is still in production.  Those are nice stones and many have all the super 7 aspects but tend to be not as deeply vibrant, deliciously dark or as richly colored, they're a little dull and washed out looking in comparison.  The Super Seven Crystal The super 7 crystal is a combination of amethyst, smoky and clear quartz containing inclusions of lepidocrocite, goethite, rutile and cacoxenite which is known for producing a flambeau or lighted torch effect similar to "St. Elmos Fire" which produces visible electromagnetic waves above the mast of sailing ships, steeples, towers and treetops and has been compared on a small scale to the aurora borealis effect of the northern lights.  In addition to the flambeau effect the stone has a long list of metaphysical aspects, it's also known to be self cleansing and a highly magical stone for the new age which was popularized by the author of "Love Is In The Earth" who goes by "Melody".         Super Seven Minerals     Goethite and Lepidocrocite are almost the same mineral as they are both oxides of Fe containing hydroxyl.  The two minerals are dimorphous, meaning they are quite often found mixed together as one composite mineral.   The bright red wavy fibers found in many super seven crystals appears to be a dimorphous combination of the two, however they do also occur individually in the stones.  Lepidocrocite quite often appears as red pepper spotting or large red dots.  Cacoxenite and goethite take many different forms and are at times difficult to distinguish from each other, but goethite is usually black.  They can both produce golden or black acicular sprays, roundish balls or visually undefined masses in a varied color range, however cacoxenite is most familiar in golden V shaped or oval sprays with somewhat reddish to black undertone, or at times bumpy to smooth roundish nodules or golden colored abstract masses.  Rutile comes in many colors and varies in quartz crystal from straight stick like inclusions to stringy fibers or grass like clumps to starbursts of shooting sprays or ultra fine hair like strands.  In super seven stones it usually occurs as light to dark colored fine spun threads and quite often has spots of red lepidocrocite or clumps of black goethite clinging to the surface.     Powered by eBay Turbo Lister The free listing tool.
