Sinhalite – illuminating yellow, Pantone 2021
Wishing everyone the very best for the New Year 🎉 When I heard the Pantone Colours for the year 2021 were the rock solid ‘Ultimate’ gray and the cheerful, ‘Illuminating’ yellow – The first gemstone that came to mind was the Sinhalite. Â
Sinhalite was first identified in Srilanka in 1952. Prior to that year it was considered to be a variety of Peridot!Â
The mineral was named Sinhalite after the Sanskrit name ‘Sinhala’ by which Srilanka was known.Â
It’s said to be a gemstone that represents ‘joy in the everyday life’ and encourages one to step into new beginnings …Â
With those thoughts, I wish you all an abundant year 🥂x
