Ulexite (NaCaB5O6(OH)6•5(H2O)) (hydrated sodium calcium borate hydroxide), sometimes known as TV rock, is a mineral occurring in silky white rounded crystalline masses or in parallel fibers. The natural fibers of ulexite conduct light along their long axes, by internal reflection. Ulexite was named for the German chemist Georg Ludwig Ulex (1811–1883) who first discovered it.
Ulexite is a structurally complex mineral, with a basic structure containing chains of sodium, water and hydroxide octahedra. The chains are linked together by calcium, water, hydroxide and oxygen polyhedra and massive boron units. The boron units have a formula of B5O6(OH)6 and a charge of −3. They are composed of three borate tetrahedra and two borate triangular groups.
“Stone of Clairvoyance”
Ulexite, is the stone of clairvoyance, as it assist in opening the door leading into inter-dimensional planes of existence. It vibrates at various frequencies, which allows one to connect and interact with beings from higher planes, such as extraterrestrials, spirit guides and other entities.
Ulexite activates latent intuitive abilities.
Ulexite can quicken mental processes, which will grant one with the ability to answer complex problems without much effort. Carrying a piece of this stone will grant one with an enhanced memory.
Optical properties
Ulexite is also known as the "TV Stone" due to its fiber optic property. If the slice is placed on top of another object, such as a newspaper, the image of the object will seem to appear at the stop of the slice, similar to the way television images appear on the screen.
In 1956, John Marmon observed that fibrous aggregates of ulexite project an image of an object on the opposite surface of the mineral. This optical property is common for synthetic fibers, but not in minerals, giving ulexite the nickname "TV rock". According to Baur et al. (1957), this optical property is due to the reflections along twinned fibers, the most prominent twinning plane being on (010). The light is internally reflected over and over within each of the fibers that are surrounded by a medium of a lower refractive index.This optical effect is also the result of the large spaces formed by the sodium octahedral chains in the mineral structure. Synthetic fibers used for fiber optics transmit images along a bundle of threadlike crystals the same way naturally occurring ulexite reproduces images due to the existence of different indices of refractions between fibers. Additionally, if the object is colored, all of the colors are reproduced by ulexite. Parallel surfaces of ulexite cut perpendicular to the fibers produce the best image, as distortion in the size of the projected image will occur if the surface is not parallel to the mineral.

Healing Properties
- Strengthens Eyesight
- Helps Overcome Eye Fatigue/Double Vision
Metaphysical Properties
- Helps open the inner eye to “far seeing”
- Opens the gates into inter-dimensions where interaction with beings of higher planes can occur
- Sensitizes the self to the field of consciousness around and beyond the body
- Assist in sensing, reading and perceiving the energies and intentions of others
- Amplifies the power and volume of one’s thought projections
- Enables one to correctly interpret visions from psychic information
- Aids in perceiving beings of other realms (fairies, gnomes, sylphs, devas, etc)
- Unblocks psychic and physical vision
- Helps one sort out their emotions
Ulexite helps one read the energy of another with clarity and precision. Ulexite promotes creative endeavors, leading to moments of pure inspiration. Ulexite connects one to soul consciousness, collective consciousness and cosmic consciousness, whilst decoding the visions received.
