Wild Horse Magnesite 30mm AAA Grade Square Cabochon
Wild Horse Magnesite is said to be a calming and soothing stone and is believed to be a powerful emotional balancer. The colors are predominantly a deep red/brown, rust reds with white plumes. This material is similar in hardness and texture to turquoise and is sometimes called “Wild Horse Turquoise” because it is mined in southeastern Arizona near the same area as Turquoise but it is not Turquoise. Wild Horse was first found in the mid-90's near a remote copper mining city. It is not possible to drive to the location of the mine so the material has to be hiked out of the area through rugged terrain. Wild Horse has a hardness of 4, so care should be taken when setting, polishing and wearing Wild Horse designer cabochons.
