Coquimbite, a hydrated iron(III) sulfate, is both a mineral with geological significance and is sometimes used in metaphysical practices. Geologically, it's formed through the oxidation of iron-bearing minerals in the presence of sulfates and water, often in arid environments. In metaphysical contexts, coquimbite is believed to be a stone of spiritual awakening, intuition, and emotional healing, particularly helpful for aligning the higher chakras and connecting with higher consciousness.
