A Carborundum crystal cluster is a man made crystal combining silicon and carbon atoms fused together which sparkles in rainbow colours of gold, pink, green, blue and purple against a grey-black background.
Carborundum was originally sold as natural “rainbow hematite” and a few other rare crystals that look similar BUT it is not. Is increasingly being correctly known as carborundum but still hidden that it is a man-made silicon carbide. It is sand + carbon super heated and as it cools the crystals form. What I can vouch for, is that it is still special. It brings out the inner-Child when the sun strikes its surface and the rainbow sparkles fly.
A carborundum crystal cluster does not seem to deteriorate in sun shine so you can keep letting it sparkle (I haven’t done a full field test except it has sat all day in the sun at markets). And it doesn’t dissolve in water – so you can easily clean off dust that way. it is friable so no rough handling.
Always difficult to photograph, they will delight you when the sun shines on them. Similar size and smaller ones at the shops.
