Mohawkite is a type of rare rock consisting of various minerals, including arsenic-rich copper and domeykite. It was first discovered in the Mohawk Mine, Keweenaw Peninsula in Michigan, from where the name “mohawkite.”

Because of its unusual quality, mohawkite was originally thought to be a separate mineral species until further studies of the rock revealed it to be a combination of nickel and copper. Although now it’s a discredited mineral species composed of the aforementioned elements, mohawkite continues to be popular among some rock and gem collectors because of its distinctive beauty.

What color is mohawkite?

One of the main reasons why mohawkite is sought after by many is its metallic luster which gives it a luxurious and elegant appearance. Its colors range from silvery gray to brassy yellow, sometimes with a hint of green or blue. Mohawkite is considered even more precious in a white quartz matrix, making it the most desirable material as a collector’s item or jewelry piece.

Because of its beauty and rarity, gem-quality mohawkite can fetch a high price in the market.

Where is mohawkite found?

Mohawkite was originally found in Michigan, specifically in its discovery locality, Mohawk Mine. As of the moment, this is the only place in the world where mohawkite is being mined.

Meaning of Mohawkite

Besides its remarkable beauty and elegance, another main reason mohawkite is beloved by many is its great metaphysical properties.

Hailed as “The Stone of Divine Voice”, it’s believed to have the power to receive messages from benevolent beings in higher spiritual realms. It’s been used to obtain wisdom, guidance, and directions from other dimensions while acting as interference to shield you from possible spiritual attacks.

As such, mohawkite is also a highly protective stone, making it ideal to be worn as much as possible.

Mohawkite is an interesting crystal in the sense that it can take on various roles at the same time. It can be used for protection, past healing, and grounding. Below, I will explain in detail how this stone can change your life.

Is mohawkite toxic?

Because of its arsenic content, many people are understandably hesitant to use this stone. However, it’s only mostly toxic if the copper is removed. Fortunately, most mohawkite crystals you can buy usually goes with quartz or are carefully handcrafted to make them safe to wear.

For safety purposes, always wash your hands after working with mohawkite. If possible, try not to hold the rock for long periods to avoid possible health risks.

Mohawkite Physical Benefits

Mohawkite has few known benefits for the physical body. It’s mostly used by crystal healers for its spiritual and emotional benefits, which is perhaps why its physical benefits aren’t documented well enough.

However, mohawkite is said to help promote strength and flexibility. It fortifies our body’s immune system, for example. Here are some of the ways mohawkite can help you:

• Inflammation

  Mohawkite can help combat inflammation. It helps heal painful inflammation symptoms, especially those related to injuries.

• Pain Relief

  Mohawkite can also assist in easing pain. I’ve already mentioned how it could help people with inflammation, and this stone can help alleviate the pain one experiences because of that. It can also help relieve painful symptoms of various diseases and support the body during the time of healing.

Mohawkite Emotional Benefits

Mohawkite is also known for its benefits to our mental well-being. It’s a grounding and balancing stone, which helps harmonize our thoughts and emotions. It can be helpful for those struggling with negative feelings, such as contempt, resentment, and uneasiness. Here’s a list of how mohawkite can benefit you emotionally:

• Inner Peace

  Mohawkite is a grounding stone that can help us calm down. One of the best things about this crystal is its tranquilizing effect can be felt both in the short term and in the long term. Mohawkite helps you calm down when you’re experiencing intense negative, such as resentment and anger towards others (or to yourself). These emotions could be detrimental to your well-being and spirituality, which is why if it’s not addressed properly, it will be just like putting a band-aid on a terrible wound. This is where mohawkite can come into play. Not only does it help calm yourself from that negativity, but it also aids you in receiving guidance from your higher self on how to handle situations like that from here on forward. It also helps you heal from them.

• Empathy

  In connection to the one I discussed above, mohawkite can help balance your ability to recognize others’ emotions and your own. Being constantly worn down by other people’s opinions and problems can negatively affect you. Mohawkite will help you shield yourself from that negativity, so you may not be dragged down while you’re trying to help others. It will also help remind you that while being receptive to other people’s emotions is a great quality to have, you shouldn’t overwhelm yourself. Too much empathy can become toxic, not only to you but to others as well. On the other hand, if you are struggling to see from other people’s perspectives and understand where they are coming from, mohawkite may help you with it.

• Focus

  It can help with mental focus as it boosts our concentration power. It also helps bring harmony to our inner world.

• Joy

  If you have difficulty experiencing positive emotions (be it due to past trauma or something you can’t explain), mohawkite can act as a stone of support. It can help you become happier and more hopeful, which is necessary for healthy well-being.

• Bravery

  It may also instill courage in us to express our innermost beliefs and move forward. It can give us mental strength and fortitude.

Like any stone and crystal, cleansing your mohawkite is important to keep it free from negative energies. However, extra care should be made when cleansing with this stone. Not only because it can be toxic because of its arsenic content but also because it’s quite soft compared to others.

When purifying your mohawkite, here are some ways I can recommend:

• Visualization

  Visualization is a safe and powerful way of charging any of your crystals. Take time to center your energy and ground yourself, then pick up the sone in your hands. Focus on filling your hands with a radiant light through visualization for a minute or two. Focus on removing the negativity from the stone, allowing it to be cleansed and recharged with purpose. You should be able to feel the energy within the stone shift into positivity.

• Smudging

  Smudging your stones will immediately remove negative energies, so it is important to open a window for them to leave if you are cleansing your crystals indoors. Simply light either used bundled or loose sage with a match then blow out the flame to produce smoke. Wave the stone through the smoke for 30 to 60 seconds to clear bad vibrations. Ensure you use a fire-safe bowl or plate for safety.

• Soapy Water

  Some stones can be cleaned in soapy water. When cleaning them, ensure that you use a gentle soap and carefully remove any dust or debris from the stone. After the stone is clean, rinse off the stone with lukewarm water and pat the stone down with a soft cloth.

If you’re using water and mild soap to clean your mohawkite stone, you can dry it with a soft cloth.
