ALABANDITE

Alabandite (MnS) is a rare manganese sulfide mineral prized by collectors for its metallic luster and deep charcoal-gray tones. With a Mohs hardness of 3.5–4, it’s soft yet striking, often found in hydrothermal deposits. Spiritually, alabandite is believed to promote grounding and transformation, helping one face deep-seated emotions with strength. Whether you're drawn to its rarity or its energetic depth, alabandite makes a unique and meaningful addition to any mineral collection.
