Chromite is a black to gray-metallic mineral that contains chromium and is the main commercial source of this element. It forms brittle masses in olivine-rich, ultramafic rocks and serpentinized rocks (formed by the transformation of igneous rocks). It is also found in alluvial placers (gravel or sand deposits within lakes and river beds) and has been recorded in meteorites and on the moon! Chromite is also a component of chrome ore, a material used to induce hardness and toughness in steel. Chromite has no distinct cleavage and a rough to gritty fracture. It has a dark brown streak and is slightly magnetic. Its color can be changed by inclusions such as calcite, olivine, and ilmenite. Chromite is a member of the spinel family of oxide minerals and is closely related to magnesium-chromite (MgCr2O4).
It is a highly durable mineral and can be cut into gemstones, though faceted specimens are rare. It is mostly sold as rough, a relatively inexpensive form, and can be found in round, oval, or octagonal shapes. It can also be carved into curiosities or cabochon-cut for a more expensive price.
Chromite is a grounding stone that balances your root chakra, which governs survival instincts and stability. Like many other black and brown gems, it is believed to protect and fortify your emotional, mental, and spiritual wellbeing. It is also a very effective tool to use in meditation, helping you find and stay centered.
