It helps to understand situations and take the right decisions.
It owes its name to its prismatic facies (from the Greek "skapos" rod and "lithos", stone) and designates an isomorphic series going from sodic marialite to calcic meionite.
The members of this series are the Wernerite, the Dipyre, the Meionite, the Marialite. The Wernerite, which is at the center of this series is named after Werner,professor of mineralogy at Freiberg in Germany in the late eighteenth century.
Petschite, the purple variety, is a discovery of the 1970s in Tanzania. It can also present a speckle effect "cat's eye" type.
The yellow variety, meionite, has refractive indices (up to 1,600), the birefringence (0.030 to 0.038), the density, the highest of his family.
It is found in France : in Pouzac (Hautes Pyrenees), Seix (Ariège), Sri Lanka (the most famous), Mogok in Burma, Brazil, Canada, Madagascar, Tanzania, Pakistan, Afghanistan.
It is a stone sometimes used in jewelry but its brittleness limits its use. Varieties of a beautiful purplish or blue color are popular.

It can be irradiated to obtain a purple or violet color starting from yellow or colorless crystals.
