Scientific Pahasapaite:
The term, Pahasapaite is from the Lakota Sioux "Pahasapa," word for 'Black Hills.' Pahasapaite
occurs with other beryllophosphates in seams of fractured beryl crystals. Its color range is from
colorless, yellow green, light pink to light violet.
Near Custer South Dakota, at the Tip Top mine, the alteration of beryl and triphylite has created
the minerals known as ehrleite, fransoletite, pahasapaite, parafransoletite and tiptopite. Unique to
the Tip Top mine, this assemblage of beryllophosphates have yet to be found elsewhere in the
world. The Tip Top mine is the type locality for twelve minerals and host to at least sixty-four
confirmed phosphate minerals.
The Tip Top mine is an icon of Black Hills mineralogy. Like so many of the mines in the Black
Hills, Tip Top has its roots in the tin mining days of the 1880’s.
But the discoveries in the Tip Top mine, came from T. J. Campbell and W. L. Roberts, who
introduced these minerals to the world in a 1986 issue of the Mineralogical Record. This article
was intended to bring the reader up to date on the mineralogy, while adding some of the untold
“behind the scene” stories to the history of this great locality.
The Hill City pegmatites received much early attention in central Black Hills because of the “tin
boom”, whereas most of the pegmatites around the town of Custer were originally located for
mica. The Tip Top mine, five miles southwest of Custer, was staked as a tin prospect sometime in
the late 1880’s by the Nevin family. Few other mines in the area were staked for tin, but Nevin
mined mica hoping to find tin. Through its history, the mine produced little, if any, and was
extremely difficult if not impossible to find cassiterite, the primary tin ore, in-situ or in the dumps
at the Tip Top.
As a result, and for lack of any other economic mineral, the mine sat idle until 1925. At this time,
Nevin attempted to market phosphate rock for its lithium content. This attempt was unsuccessful.
The triphylite was too lithium poor while other pegmatites in the area contained higher-grade
lithium minerals such as spodumene, amblygonite and lepidolite.
A sad and unproductive mine, to be sure.
But, in 1923, with the greater demand for feldspar in the world economy, the Black Hills
experienced a surge in feldspar production. At this time, the Tip Top found new life as a producer
of feldspar. This type of mining created a fair sized open-pit during the early 1940’s with
dimensions of 150 by 50 feet to a depth of 40 feet.
The International Mineral and Chemical Company leased the mine during the 1950’s and 1960’s
and produced large amounts of potash feldspar (microcline perthite) along with beryl,
montebrasite - amblygonite, spodumene and columbite-tantalite as byproducts. Mica mining also
resulted in a few small pits north of the feldspar pit.
It is interesting to note how in due time when history needed a certain specimen, is when the mine
was in full productivity. Even in the mineral world, exposure comes when exposure is needed.
This beautiful and rare mineral forms in colors of colorless, yellow, pink to lilac. It's Crystal
system is Isometric, Tetartoidal. It comes from the Zeolite group.

Metaphysical Uses Of Pahasapaite:
Aids psychic knowing, guidance, and direction.
A great stone for Reiki practitioners.
Allows clear thinking.
Invites inspiration and intuition.
Improves clarity in thought and in visions.
Imparts a sense of peace and happiness.
Good stone for massage therapists to remove toxins from self, after treatment of patient/client.
Use to stimulate psychic awareness.
Physical Uses of Pahasapaite:
Said to aid in weight loss.
Supports proper nerve responses.
Balances the body’s pH levels.
Removes heavy metals, toxins, chemicals, yeast, fungus and mold from the body.
Supports a healthy immune system.
Promotes overall health and well being.
Has anti-oxidant effects.
Traps and nullifies nitrosamines in the digestive tract.
Improves nutrient absorption.
Due to this stone's Zeolite properties: More recently, the medical community has been looking into
the cancer-fighting potential of zeolites and very much liking what they see. Because zeolites are
minerals found in nature, they are 100 percent natural, safe and non-toxic. Specific forms of
zeolites have also been recognized by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) with GRAS status
which means ‘generally recognized as safe.'
