Science & Origin of Lakelandite

Lakelandite is a unique mineral consisting of Basalt and Bytownite, a calcium rich plagioclase feldspar. It is believed to have formed around 480 million years ago in present day Cumbria, Coldbeck Falls, United Kingdom. During this time period, the area was under severe volcanic and cataclysmic activity. Over the course of around 10 million years, this volcanic activity eventually deposited a 7 kilometers thick layer of rock. It is during this time that Basalt and Bytownite became infused together, and eventually created Lakelandite.

Over 470 million years have passed since Lakelandite was created and over this time period, a 3 kilometers thick layer of sedimentary rock covered the entire deposit. This would have normally made the mineral completely unknown to us (simply due to the depth at which it's buried), but thankfully with the help of ancient glaciers and natural erosion, we now have access to it. The small area where one can mine this mineral is about 200 square meters. This tiny space is the one and only area in the world where Lakelandite can be extracted from. This stone is very hard to find on the market and will generally be very expensive. When it is found, you’ll usually see it in the shape of wands, palmstones, spheres, skulls and tumbled stones.
