Tisbury Starstone Freeform Cabochon | 4.8cm | UK

Tisbury Starstone Freeform Cabochon | 4.8cm | UK A striking Tisbury Starstone cabochon from Wiltshire, UK, with a distinctive sail-like shape — one edge straight, one gently rounded — that gives this piece an elegant, architectural quality. The star patterns on this piece are bold and strongly defined, some of the clearest coral structure we have seen in this material. One piece, sold as seen. Tisbury Starstone is a fossilised coral found exclusively in the ancient soils of Tisbury, Wiltshire, formed approximately 145 million years ago during the Late Jurassic period when this part of England lay beneath a warm, shallow sea. The characteristic star-like patterns are the preserved skeletal structures of coral polyps, their intricate geometry locked in stone over millions of years of gradual mineralisation. It is composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃), hardness 3–4 Mohs. Handle with care — fossilised coral is fragile and should not be dropped or knocked against harder surfaces. Spiritually, Tisbury Starstone is associated with the Crown Chakra, celestial connection, and ancient wisdom. It is said to act as a bridge between the earthly and the ethereal, inviting clarity, higher awareness, and a sense of wonder at the deep continuity of life on Earth. Origin: Tisbury, Wiltshire, UK Size: Approximately 4.8cm (sail shape — one straight edge, one rounded — see photos) Crystal meaning: Illumination, clarity, spiritual connection, ancient wisdom Water cleanse: No — calcium carbonate is sensitive to moisture and acids. Cleanse with moonlight, sound, or smoke instead. Please note: Display case not included. Stands and display cases can be purchased separately from our Stands & Accessories section.
