Dragonstone is a completely unique Bastite Amygdale mineral with Green Epidote and Red Piedmontite. Piemontite is a rare, red epidote group silicate.  These specimens of Dragonstone have striking red markings and patterns running through several shades of solid and orbicular patterned green Epidote. It has been named Dragonstone because of its location; Tshipise Hotsprings is below a Dragon shaped humped hill in Limpopo province of South Africa. This material has been mined, in very limited amounts from where the water used to steam at the mouth of the old spring a few million years ago.

As a healing stone, it is a strengthener of the physical and etheric bodies particularly when illness or other negative conditions have brought one’s vitality down. It is a wellspring of prana and it can consistently help one find one’s inner "reset,’ so that the body and energy fields regain their resonance with a pattern of health, stability and emotional well-being.
