Garnierite is a term used to describe the soft green mineral found within weathered, serpentinized rocks. Its distinctive green hue comes from its high nickel content, and it’s considered an important nickel ore in geological terms.
Sometimes marketed as Green Moonstone, Garnierite often forms within feldspar (the same mineral family as Moonstone). The result is a soft, pale green gemstone with flowing lines, a dreamy luster, and a subtly weathered surface that gives it character and depth.
This beautiful stone carries both the gentle, introspective qualities of Moonstone and the strengthening, heart-centered energy of Garnierite. It acts as a bridge between grounding Earth energy and intuitive, emotional awareness.
Garnierite is known as a stone of creativity and fresh ideas. It inspires a sense of possibility, making it a favorite for those launching new projects or walking into unfamiliar seasons of growth. It’s also considered a “serendipity stone,” gently shifting the path toward positive change and unexpected breakthroughs.

Energetically, Garnierite resonates most with the energy center of the heart. It offers emotional support by easing stress, quieting mental clutter, and dissolving inner worry. At the same time, it works with the energy of the solar plexus to gently build confidence and help individuals speak up for themselves or take action on long-delayed dreams.
This is a particularly helpful stone for those doing emotional healing or personal development work. It provides encouragement without pressure—inviting a spirit of growth, self-kindness, and gentle momentum.
