Bronzite is a decorative mineral that occurs in an almost metallic bronze coloration, which is how the mineral received its name. This mineral is a variety of enstatite as it bears iron (III). Bronzite is sometimes used to make ornamental decorations but is usually not the first material of choice.
Bronzite played an important role in Roman and Greek cultures. It is said that they used powdered bronzite as an ingredient of an elixir that had the ability to protect against mental illness and confusion. It was also used in protective amulets. Bronzite is associated with the Zodiac sign of Leo.
Bronzite is a mineral that is sometimes shaped and polished for use in jewelry. It is valued for its swirled two-tone color that can make for a breathtaking necklace piece when cut into cabochons. Its shine and luster also lend this material to the creation of beautiful beads and tumbled stones.
