Hackmanite is known as a “chameleon crystal” because it often expresses tenebrescence – it turns colors when exposed to the sun, and is restored to its normal coloring when placed in the dark.
Purple Hackmanite is believed to represent spiritual concepts such as intuition and inner tranquility. Its spiritual symbolism is intricately tied to its physical characteristics, while its color-changing trait is thought to mirror the way hidden talents can be revealed by a spark of inner light.
