Gaspiete – A Rare Lime-Green Gemstone with Spirit and Energy

Gaspiete is a striking and rare mineral known for its vivid lime-green to apple-green coloration. First discovered in 1966 in Western Australia and named after the Gaspé Peninsula in Quebec, Canada, this nickel carbonate gemstone is sought after for its vibrant hue and energetic presence.

In Native American and Southwestern-style jewelry, Gaspiete is often used as a bold accent stone or center stone in rings, pendants, and earrings. Its bright, cheerful tone contrasts beautifully with traditional stones like turquoise, coral, and onyx, offering a modern twist while honoring time-honored silverwork. Gaspiete is relatively soft, so it’s typically set in protective bezels within sterling silver.

Because of its rarity and limited mining sources, Gaspiete is especially prized by collectors and artisans who value unusual stones with character and story.
