CORUMBATAÍ PURPLE SHALE MINI-SHRINE | STAINLESS STEEL SPIRAL DIFFUSER PENDANT NECKLACE
An exclusive LAZZERINI-GEOJOIAS creation from the PIRAGEM, ROCHA, and AROMATERAPIA collections. This "Geojewel" features a naturally rounded fragment—shaped like a mini-shrine—of Purple Shale from the Corumbataí Formation, hand-collected in Piracicaba, São Paulo. The original spiral-cage pendant and the snake-style chain—both made of stainless steel—transform a sedimentary rock dating back approximately 275 million years into an elegant, functional, and one-of-a-kind accessory.
WHY THIS GEOJEWEL IS SPECIAL
• Authentic Brazilian rock: Purple Shale from the Corumbataí Formation.
• Geological history: a record of ancient shallow-water environments, tidal influence, and oxidizing conditions from the Permian period.
• Natural colors: hues ranging from purplish-gray to purple and red, shifting with the lighting.
• Original Brazilian regional design that preserves the rock's natural texture.
• Personal diffuser: the porosity of the siltstones and clay minerals facilitates the absorption and gradual release of aromas.
• Authenticity: comes with a certificate and diffusion instructions.
ORIGIN & THE SCIENCE OF BEAUTY
Corumbataí Purple Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock composed of clayey and sandy siltstones, containing quartz, feldspars, clay minerals, carbonates, and iron oxides. Its laminations record depositional and diagenetic processes that occurred approximately 275 million years ago in the Paraná Sedimentary Basin. The reddish-purple tones are linked to oxidizing conditions and the presence of iron oxides. The specimen was collected in Piracicaba, within the territory of the Corumbataí Geopark Project—a regional initiative dedicated to highlighting geological, cultural, and environmental heritage.
AROMATHERAPY
Apply a small amount of essential oil, hydrosol, or perfume directly onto the stone. Its porous composition allows for absorption and gradual scent release, acting as a portable, personal diffuser. Scent intensity and duration vary depending on the product and the environment.
SYMBOLISM & TRADITIONS
In color-related traditions, purple symbolizes creativity, introspection, transformation, and spirituality, and is associated with the Crown Chakra. These references are cultural and symbolic; they do not replace medical or therapeutic advice.
