ROUNDED CORUMBATAÍ PURPLE SHALE | HANDCRAFTED DIFFUSER PENDANT NECKLACE (18K GOLD)

This exclusive and innovative LAZZERINI-GEOJOIAS piece is part of three of our collections simultaneously: PIRAGEM, ROCHA, and AROMATHERAPY. It features an original design comprising a Portuguese-link chain with spheres and a handcrafted wire-wrapped pendant (both 18k gold-plated), holding a rounded fragment of Purple Shale from the Corumbataí Sedimentary Formation (sharing its name with the Corumbataí Geopark UNESCO project). The piece also allows for the diffusion of aromas, essential oils, or perfumes.

DESCRIPTIONS

.Sedimentary shale rock composed of clayey siltstones with intercalations of sandy siltstones; constituents include illite, quartz, feldspars, carbonates, hematite, montmorillonite, kaolinite, chlorite, and zeolite, of authigenic and/or detrital origin. It features a texture with regular or irregular interstratified structures, ranging from banded to laminated.

.Originating from deposition in shallow-water paleoenvironments under oxidizing climatic conditions and tidal influence, with frequent gradational advances of coastal sedimentation; dating to the Permian period (~275 million years ago). It is located within the Paraná Volcano-Sedimentary Basin and is geologically designated as the Corumbataí Formation.

.Typical colors in this region's deposits range from purplish-gray to reddish-purple. This characteristic arises from the aforementioned depositional paleoenvironments and the initial phase of subsequent diagenesis under oxidizing paleoenvironmental and semi-arid climatic conditions, involving the precipitation and cementation of carbonates and iron oxides (Costa, 2006). .This rock typically forms hilly terrain and escarpments—features that, in this region, were once appreciated and utilized by indigenous forest-dwelling inhabitants as sites with acoustic resonance and echoes (known locally as *Bongue*). It is also interesting to observe subtle shifts in color depending on the lighting conditions and the time of day. Hand-collected and selected at the source: Piracicaba, São Paulo, Brazil.

.The high vibrational frequency of this color, combined with the aforementioned properties, offers clear benefits in crystal therapy and chromotherapy (specifically the purple-lavender spectrum).

CHROMOTHERAPY: THE COLOR PURPLE

.Recognized by the WHO as a complementary therapy, chromotherapy acts on the body's cells through waves emitted by colors themselves. These waves help balance body and mind, enhancing well-being and aiding recovery from pain and illness, reducing fatigue, alleviating sleep disorders, and stimulating the Central Nervous System. Chromotherapy is also an approved treatment offered by Brazil’s Unified Health System (SUS) under the National Program for Integrative and Complementary Practices (PNPIC).

.In terms of light, shades of purple, lilac, magenta, and violet have the shortest wavelengths, measuring approximately 380–450 nm. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the vibrational frequency.

.The high frequency of purple light can offer numerous physical and mental benefits. Scientific studies on chromotherapy are increasingly providing reliable data, helping to detach this knowledge from the realm of the esoteric.

.In the field of biology, for instance, it has contributed significantly to research regarding the effects of color on the plant and animal kingdoms. Purple acts as a powerful germicide while also providing the psychological benefit of tranquility—a quality associated with certain violet tones.

.It is linked to the mind and brain, often representing intelligence and expanded consciousness. Shades of lavender and lilac have become increasingly common in interior design and décor, proving excellent choices for bedding and bedroom walls. Following this logic, these shades are also a great option for clothing if you wish to project a serene, tranquil image.

These hues are known to forge a strong connection with people, often inspiring them to incorporate the color into their bedrooms. However, experts have also found that this color is strongly linked to creativity and stimulates the subconscious mind. Sleeping in a purple room may lead to vivid dreams or even nightmares, potentially reducing the amount of sleep one gets.

Purple governs the body's seventh chakra—the Crown Chakra—located at the top of the head and directly linked to spirituality. It possesses the power of transmutation and transformation, offering support when we feel lost, seek self-knowledge, or wish to bring about change in our lives.

.It is also highly effective for nervous or agitated individuals, producing a rapid and visible effect. Its presence fosters a sense of calm and tranquility. Psychologically, the color purple embodies both the serene, ethereal energy of blue and the material, visceral energy of red. In ancient times, purple was used to symbolize power and spiritual glory manifested in the earthly realm—a privilege reserved for the few.

AROMATHERAPY

.Beyond its exceptional beauty as an ornament, amulet, or piece of jewelry, this item allows for the direct application of essential oils, hydrosols, and perfumes, serving as an excellent portable personal diffuser for aromatherapy. Its unique composition—featuring siltstone and clay minerals—offers a dual advantage: excellent fluid absorption combined with a slow release of the scent into the surrounding air, ensuring the fragrance lingers longer.
