CRYSTALS CONTENTS HOME PAGE TALK TO US!
ACTINOLITE: Raises the vibratory rate of the entire being. Especially soothing for the heart chakra when used in conjunction with jade. Acts as a teaching device during meditation allowing integration of the new awareness gained. (Acts on the 4th chakra.)
ADAMITE: Adamite should always be near water, especially water falls, which they love. When placed in the left hand, adamite pushes one out of the body, quite forcefully at times. When held in the right hand, adamite causes energy flow to maximize. This mineral is more androgynous around water, and has strong polarizing qualities when used in a balanced situation such as around water rather than fire.
AVENTURINE: This mineral carries the healing powers of the green earth. It heals the heart by releasing emotional stress, thus allowing reuniting of the healthy heart and soul. It commonly has shiny silver or pyrite flecks which enhance energy flow to other body areas. (Acts on the 4th chakra.)
AGATE (Blue Lace): Use blue lace agate on the third eye area between the eyebrows as a sedative for the nerves; also, relieves nonallergenic tension headaches. It also aids the flow of expression. (Acts on the 5th toward the 6th chakras.)
AGATE (Botswana): Adds strength and emphasis to other stones in jewelry. Aids in the oxygenation of the various body parts. The characteristic swirl provides a visual connection to wood and the plant kingdom. (Works on all of the chakras.)
AGATE (Dendritic): It's often used as a visualization tool as one studies the intricate patterns of mineralization. It is a past life regression assistor.
AGATE (Ellensburg Blue): The opalescent quality, pale to deep blue, tones the brow chakra and the throat chakra to relieve pollen headaches. Works best in association with programmed, clear quartz . (Works on the 5th toward the 6th chakras.)
AGATE (Fire): Stimulates the whole system. It's a good memory stone and tissue regenerator. It balances, grounds and protects those doing 'light' work. Earth and fire are combined into the mineral. It adds to those areas of a person's astrological makeup. (Acts on the 1st and 6th chakras.)
AGATE (Iris): Thin slices reveal the characteristic rainbows when tilted in the light. It regenerates the sense of touch in fingers that have suffered burns or injuries (30 minute applications). In addition, it promotes receptivity to inner truths.
AGATE (Moss): Improves circulation in blood and lymphatic systems; also digestion and elimination are improved. Harmony is a key attribute. The green inclusions form a link to nature for our subconscious. (Activates the 4th chakra.)
AGATE (Plume): Besides the possible visual images which may be conjured from the foliage-like weave pattern of mineralization; the brown, red and orange color range works on the regenerative and other lower vital organs. Pant pocket carrying or similar placements can energize and activate healing flows in the navel and base chakra areas. Grounded, expressive power would be the complete theme of these stones. (Works on the 1st and 2nd chakras.)
AGATE (Picture): Meditation upon this stone improves visualization by coordination of left and right brain functions. A popular variety of this mineral is found in Montana, USA.
AGATE (Snakeskin):This mineral promotes inner peace. The wearer of this stone spreads the energy of joy to others. Apply the lighter-colored versions to the palms and soles of the feet; the dark-colored snakeskin should be applied to the brow and temples (15-minute applications).
ALABASTER:A milky-white stone revered in biblical times for its purity and representation of high ideals. This mineral facilitates sensitivity and inner responses when used in meditation. Its softness also allows these peaceful thoughts to be carried outside of the self and placed into action. (Acts on the 7th chakra.)
ALEXANDERITE: This mineral has overall healing impact. It works on the nervous system and some of the key glands, such as the spleen and pancreas at the cellular level on up. Consequently, both physical and emotional healing can be instigated. (Works on the 2nd and 7th chakras.)
AMBER: Strengthens tissues of the brain and nervous system and draws disease from body tissues. Purifies the etheric body by absorbing negative energy. Cleanse regularly with water and air baths. (Acts on the 2nd chakra.)
AMAZONITE (Microcline): This is a pale turquoise-colored mineral that is visually soothing. It synchronizes the heart and throat chakras. It also activates thought energies as well for completely balanced expression. (Works on the 5th chakra.)
AMETHYST: Assists the mind's surrender to the higher spiritual energies, stills the mind during meditation and calms for sleep with inspired dreams. It activates the intellect in the amethystine ray. Also see Aurichalcite. (Acts on the 6th chakra.)
APACHE TEAR (Transparent Obsidian): Provides psychic protection and grounding as symbolized by the light shining through the darkness. Draws light to the base chakra. It is also known as a psychic protector. (Works on the 1st chakra.)
APATITE (Blue): This mineral opens the throat chakra, reduces tension and will also reduce stuttering. In addition, it improves expression. (Acts on the 5th chakra.)
APATITE (Yellow): Strengthens and regenerates muscle tissue by improved calcium and vitamin C absorption. Helps with willpower. Its' compact power, like a battery, activates other minerals and ourselves. (Activates the 3rd chakra.)
APOPHYLLITE: This mineral is a dimorphic, perceptual analyzer. This term is one used in the technical jargon of space pilots such as the one known as Archturus. There is a haze filter effect to this mineral which is excellent to counteract communications static as well as visual fogginess caused by fatigue. This is the dimorphic quality - its "two-shape" essence. The perceptual analyzer allows unnecessary information to be taken out of a given space continuum which is the same as filtration or static reduction. This mineral is highly prized by space travelers of the vehicular genre rather than the imaginary / conceptual / spiritual. (Activates all of the upper chakras.)
AQUAMARINE (Transparent Blue Beryl): Reduces fluid retention, activates the thymus gland to calm coughs and nervousness. Helps one learn about the inner self and universal truths. It is also said to protect against baldness and liver disease. (Acts on the 5th chakra.)
AURICHALCITE: Aurichalcite is the yogi of blue quartz minerals. It is especially applicable in meditative and co-meditative practices. It is calming, much more so than amethyst. This is because Aurichalcite calms the mind circuitry. The mind circuitry is composed of the brain and the nervous system separate from the chakra chord. The chakra chord is calmed by amethyst and a tube of purple light funnels down the human body through the chakra chord. The reason brain tissue and spinal tissue is so sensitive to injury is because of its molecular structure which accommodates the low frequency purple light. Aurichalcite often allows an individual to overcome paralysis by re-circuitizing disrupted channels of physical neurons to new pathways in the brain. Re-circuitizing is essentially an easy principle to manifest once the basics are understood. Aurichalcite is a conduit which allows that basic information to be provided to the greater self where it can be enacted on the physical portion. Injury to the spine can often be redigitized or healed through the use of large amethyst crystals. Aurichalcite is a cooling mineral, useful for temper disturbances and heat stroke. (Activates the 6th chakra.)
ARAGONITE: The interesting quality of this mineral is that it shows the spherical nature of beingness while it also expresses the aspects of self reaching out to experience life, knowledge, essence. It is an empowerment mineral in the past given to young adults in recognition of the responsibility of adult tasks now being required of them. It possesses the ability to strengthen the internal chakra chord so that it is able to bear more light and, therefore, more "witness" of the higher self. It is a subdued essence of mineral allowing great tranquility and self expression of personal power which may be required of young adults so that their competitive drive can be expressed more toward enthusiastic cooperation. The spherical nature of beingness is what allowed Columbus to first deduce that circumnavigation of the globe was possible. The quality of committing oneself to the proof and attainment of spiritual spherical essence is supported by Aragonite. The knowledge of self as a bundle of vibratory frequency in molecular matter is supported by Aragonite as well. (Activates the 3rd chakra.)
AZULICITE: The moonstone-like qualities create a translucent blue shine on one end of the gem. When inserted between four fingers and four toes, it is an excellent meridian cleanser and balancer. The user places the eight small stones in position and relaxes to allow the work to progress. The hands can be moved into sacred positions to enhance color variation in the healing. Tingling and itching indicates the meridian is releasing. Five to ten minute applications on both hands and feet are excellent. This procedure is especially useful for practitioners using their hands in healing work, as it allows the individual to resume balance quickly after taxing sessions.
AZURITE: Stimulates psychic powers and inspirations, and improves visuals in meditation. Activates spleen and thyroid while strengthening the etheric body, dissolving darkness. (Works on the 6th chakra.)
AZURITE/MALACHITE: The healing green of malachite softens the azurite's powerful blue energy. This combination activates and heals congested areas. Comforts and reduces stress. Heals liver and skin tissue. (Activates the 5th chakra.)
BARITE (Clear): Like clear quartz, it is adaptable to multifaceted use. It is both a body energizer and astral body cleanser. It creates current flow between aspects of the total self and is an optimizer in psychic work. In meditation it polarizes information to enhance clarity so that in emotional issues, a more accurate reading of one's own intent can be deduced. This is true for reading others as well. (Acts on the 7th and 12th chakras.)
BARITE (Blue): It has in history, been extremely fashionable, like diamonds or emeralds. The power of blue barite is its unequaled ability to calm and tone the being on many levels during trauma and after extreme shock. In the past, it was used widely by women attending men after battle. When placed on the third eye of an individual, it often allowed a semi-transcendant state to occur so that the individual could survive the wait for treatment if not attended to immediately. These women achieved such success in saving lives that many people ascribed magical qualities of immortality to barite. This is not the case of course, however, the tranquility ray of blue barite is exceptional and highly evolved. (Acts on the 6th chakra.)
BARITE (Gold): This is the golden seal and was often prized by monarchs to be sent along with state documents as a sign that the transaction of documents met the highest standards of truth, dignity and honesty. If these aspects were not being followed, sending the stone in dishonesty, etc. meant as much as a death warrant to the monarch exposing himself thus. The golden seal is applicable to present work as an indication of intent in one's work and can be used in meditation to help clarify responses received from the other realms to questions of extreme impact to the individual. (Acts on all the upper chakras.)
BARITE-HEXAGON ROSETTE (Radio Rock): This mineral acts as a transmitter and receiver when held a certain way with the fingers.
BENITOITE: The blue / purple varieties (some have white bands) speak for its high-level creativity and self awareness activation powers. Improves the clairvoyance and visualization during spiritual practices. This is a fluorescent mineral which allows for insight through darkness. (Works on the 6th chakra.)
BERYL, COMMON: The transparent varities are aquamarine (blue), emerald (green), helidor (yellow) and morganite (pink), but the white, gray or pale blue ones are opaque and termed "common". It stimulates the root chakra providing strengthening for males and cleansing for females. Used for all lower digestive disorders including bowel cancer. (Works on the 1st chakra.)
BLOODSTONE: A specific form of jasper with the symbolic red spots imbued into the green stone. The biblical reference refers to Christ's blood spilling on the stone. Grounds and cleanses the physical body and helps with all blood disorders. Provides mental balance and increases courage. (Acts on the 1st chakra.)
BLUE CALCITE: Taken as an elixir is the most powerful use of this particular mineral. One is advised to place it in cheesecloth so shards do not impact the human. The colon and liver are cleansed by blue calcite, and it can be worn as support during a period of treatment to those areas. It is suggested that 15 drops be followed 5-minutes later by at least 8-ounces of water and no more than 20-ounces. This will allow the mineral to alert the body's own cleansing system to release enzymes in the stomach which are carried through the digestive track to the colon and absorbed by the bloodstream to be transported to the liver. Take fifteen drops in the morning before eating. Eating can occur 20 to 25 minutes later, and take again just before bedtime. If diarrhea results, move the evening dose to the afternoon when the stomach is empty; especially important is to follow with a meal free of complex proteins. Continue to drink water every hour (8-ounces). This treatment can be used for two weeks to induce deep cleansing. Afterwards, maintenance can be achieved by using treatments one or two weekends a month, or one day a week depending on the severity of the case. The physical abnormality leading to requiring blue calcite is a lack of enzyme production relating to organ and tissue regeneration in these areas. Chronic constipation over a lifetime shows this enzyme deficiency, but this treatment also is excellent for less chronic colon and liver ailments. Blue calcite worn on the body is a calmer and is as effective as a sedative after emotional trauma such as death of a loved one.
BOJI STONE (Pop Rock): This conglomerate of various minerals is a bridge between the mineral and plant kingdoms. It can provide subconscious training to humans wanting to bond with nature, specifically plants. Therefore, communication is the theme, especially telepathic. (Works on the 5th chakra.)
BRASS: This is an alloy of copper and tin with deep healing properties like bronze, but also assists hair growth and skin rejuvenation. (Works on all the chakras.)
BRONZE: An alloy of copper and tin which has its own identity. A deep impact on the bones, blood and cell level is felt as imbalances are reduced. Its graceful shine promotes the inner rhythms necessary for healing and alignment. (Works on all the chakras.)
CALCITE (Peach or Salmon): This special variety is the higher octave of orange and acts as an optimizer to open the upper chakras. However, it carries the hint of orange and willpower with it. (Acts on the 9th through the 12th chakras.)
CARNELIAN: This mineral represents the strength and fertility of the Earth. Helps actualize personal power on the physical plane. Protects and grounds the wearer's attention to the eternal present. Improves the sense of touch and increases inner receptivity. In addition, it has been known to help many with asthma. (Works on the 2nd chakra.)
CATHEDRAL QUARTZ (also called Water or Skeletal Quartz): The smoky quartz ridges on the faces pull in the earth energy and combine it with the clear quartz etheric energies to provide a strong and balanced effect. Since water is often found trapped in these crystals, it has that magic transformative flow as well. The many positive aspects of these crystals may be summed up by the keynote traits of connectivity and balance. (Acts on the 1st and 7th chakras.)
CELESTITE: This mineral tunes consciousness to the higher planes. It improves mental powers and communication. Commonly the crystals are white and more rarely, blue crystals are found. (Acts on th 5th toward the 7th chakras.)
CERUSSITE: This stone acts on the Higher Self interface with the body. Many people are not aware of their Higher Self because the connecting links become clogged with negativities such as doubt and inadequacy and pressure to behave according to status quo. These lines are healed and cleansed using cerussite, but it is generally required that a crown chakra opener be employed with it in order to enhance the perception of connecting links. (Works on the upper chakras.)
CERUSSITE AND MALACHITE: The C-M combination acts very much like tungsten. Of course, it is not metal. All electrical properties responding to the green ray in life form will benefit from interaction with this combination. It is a loosely combined aggregate which allows a great deal of air interaction to occur. So breathing with the mineral can cleanse and heal bronchial tissue. (Acts on the 4th and higher chakras.)
CHALCEDONEY ROSE (Whetstone): These minerals are good to place in dishes of water to cleanse the environment as well as provide in indefinable pleasant aroma. The water should be replaced weekly. If placed in a sickroom, the water can be changed as frequently as twice a day (serious illnesses) to every two days (eg. minor surgery). This mineral is especially attuned to the female physical body and for healing disturbances regarding one's sexuality, if it is creating conflict in the individual. A pleasant meditation stone which will activate a variety of subtle forces. (Acts on the 4th chakra.)
CHLORITE-INCLUDED CRYSTAL: When programmed, this form of quartz is an exceptional healing tool related to the entire ingestion, digestion and elimination cycle. When activated by rubbing vigorously between the palms, it can provide healing to ulcerative problems. One reason why this crystal is nicknamed "the potato crusher" is that it breaks down carbohydrates and allows proper assimilation in the body. It is an excellent crystal for vegetarians or plant lovers in general, and when programmed and placed in the garden, they are a constant reminder to the plants of your love and appreciation for them. (Acts on the 4th and 7th chakras.)
CHROMITE AND MALACHITE: A singular variety of mineral which energizes the clairaudient capacities of individuals. It is capable of enhancing frequency perception. It is also a lung healer much like malachite by itself. The chromite tends to induce coughing and is good for expectoration needs. It should be followed up with obsidian and turquoise placed on the chest which stops the coughing reflex. (Works on the 4th chakra.)
CHRYSOCOLLA:This stone releases stress and is balancing to the emotions and the mind. It strengthens the lungs and thyroid and reduces anger and fear. The color ranges from blue to turquoise. (Acts on the 5th chakra.)
CHRYSOTILE (CROCIDOLITE): This mineral can be yellow, green or grayish, white and brown. It is a type of serpentine which is typically used to draw out body toxins. The yellow color variation would tend to work best on the abdominal and lower areas. It is also an ingredient of the cat's eye family of minerals. (Works on the 2nd through the 4th chakras, usually the 3rd.)
CHRYSOLITE: A golden stone of the sun which stimulates creativity and spiritual insight. It is best worn at the throat chakra. It also reduces depression and conditions of the body which are generally toxic. (Acts on the 5th chakra.)
CHRYSOPRASE: Enlivens insight for resolution of personal problems, increases selflessness and love in actions. Its' crisp-looking green has a high octave. (Works on the 4th and 5th chakras.)
CINNABAR:This is a good mineral for conditioning the reflexes. It provides feedback to the autonomic nervous system regarding physical exercise and practice. With clear quartz, cinnabar can be utilized to strengthen the nervous system, brain wave polarities and electromagnetic impulses. It also promotes long life. (Acts on the 1st chakra.)
CITRINE: This mineral increases awareness and control of mind and emotions. It enhances digestion and improves circulation of blood. (Golden Citrine acts on the 2nd chakra and the Yellow variations act on the 3rd.)
COAL (Anthracite, Bituminous, Lignite): From a softened brown to a hard black glassy anthracite, the stages of carbonized organic matter form a broad density range in this mineral class. Following the principle of like-aiding-like, it can be used as a remedy for toxic conditions caused by petroleum products and radiation contacts. Body tissues are actually stimulated to cause regeneration allowing for an uplifted feeling as healing occurs. (Acts on the 1st chakra.)
CONICHALCITE: The green mossy skin typically found covering this stone provides a mental link to the plant kingdom. Patients on chlorella therapy or spirulina users will find the effect strengthened if this mineral is worn while using these algal substances. An overall healer mineral because of its greenness. Its skin-like signature suggests its most powerful specific use -- healing skin problems such as psoriasis, cancer, herpes or fever blisters. (Acts on the 4th chakra.)
COPPER: This wonderful metal improves metabolism, reduces inflammation and increases blood flow. It helps with arthritis and rheumatism. It can be used in a poultice for infected wounds. It also balances the astral body with the physical body. (Works on all of the chakras.)
CORAL (Red, Pink, White): All have complementary attributes but red accents more masculine vibrations. It calms and attunes to the earth energies and provides protection. Acts as an astringent to mucous membranes and helps with fever, colds, asthma and digestive problems. (Works on the 1st, 7th and up chakras.)
COVELLITE: This is an iridescent copper mineral with indigo to purple sheen faces. It is a stone of energy and intent like chalcopyrite but with its more specific color or action it works on the mental area, giving force behind creativity. A good stone to use when meditating or contemplating accomplishing a goal. This mineral is now extinct in its prime mining areas. (Acts on the 6th chakra.)
CREEDITE: The small crystals that form this mineral are usually found in the lighter hues embedded in a white matrix. The internal crystal lattice network is very condensed, enough to make a psychic mind squint, and therefore, has energy compacted and stored for future use. Occasionally, it is found in a violet form which takes this power to above the third eye in an area called the "higher mind center". Here our intuitive powers (6th) are connected to spiritual opening (7th). This will be an important area to activate in the "unfolding" times happening on earth. (Acts on the 6th and 7th chakras.)
CROCOITE (Eugenic Harmonizer): One of the best eugenic (the science of improving inborn qualities) harmonizers available to man. Used by women, it facilitates the knowledge of proper conception time and allows the highest use of astrological planning. As a fulltime mineral worn by a single female, it enhances her ability to evaluate the complementarity of the male as mate and father. The full-bodied color is reminiscent of a healthy, fertile female and promotes fecundity in women, thereby allowing the woman to fully engage and flow in her feminine aspects. (Acts on the 2nd chakra.)
CUPRITE: The dark ruby-colored crystals along with its copper mineral associates help with vitamin and mineral absorption. Though a stimulating, primal red, it works best on the heart chakra in an opening, then balancing function. (Acts on the 4th chakra.)
DIAMOND: Clears the crown chakra of mental and physical blockages. Maintains spiritual unity and is protection from poisonous influences. No emotion can affect its pure mental nature, yet it is a noble and complete consciousness as a mineral. It is a premier conduit of spirituality. (Acts on the 7th chakra.)
DIAMONTINA QUARTZ CRYSTAL (Star Seed Crystal):
Clearer Diamontina - is like the difference between blue and brown eyes. It is like blue eyes and carries within it psychic serenity and celestial interaction. This quality of diamontina is meant to enhance the earth/cosmos connection. Cracked faces within a crystal are frequency receiver points. As they change, so the frequency changes, usually to become stronger and easier to detect with practice and familiarity. These crystals have been used before in past life, and are usually frequency specific, meaning the frequency is attuned to that of the individual user. Being used before can mean by that individual or anyone else. (Works on the 7th chakra and up.)
Clouded Diamontina - is like brown eyes, doe-like and well grounded. These crystals are meant to enhance physical body working on the planet (any planet or star). The crystal allows the auric and etheric bodies to provide immediate transformational input to the cellular structure of the physical body. This is programmed and activated by the subconscious / higher self interface. Information is "downloaded" to the crystal where the "language" of that individual is coded and sent back out to the physical body where it can provide benefit. Clouded crystals will often clear with use which denotes that the user is clearing toxins from the physical body. This process allows all aspects of the being to integrate more fully. As with the clear diamontina, clouded have been used before and are frequency specific. (Acts on the 7th and above chakras.)
Double Terminated Diamontinas - Double terminated diamontinas are extremely powerful tools for all beings. The integrative capacity of a double term cannot be matched by most any other form of crystal except gridworks. This is because the double term allows interspatial linkage to the 'n'th degree. It cannot be calculated with clarity on earth. The quality of double terms to promote multiple and individual information receival is apparent in these forms. (Acts of the 7th and above chakras.)
DIOPSIDE: For those needing a respite in a pelagic playground, diopside has all the memories packed into it for you. It is excellent as a meditation tool and bathside companion which will provide to the quiet time a sheltered cove of your choice. Polished Star Diopsides bring some of the light out of the somewhat drab stone. (Acts on the 1st chakra.)
DIOPTASE: The fairies love dioptase because it is one of their favorite colors and the crystalline structure is especially healing to their sorts of predicaments. People drawn to wear dioptase are fairy "dusters", meaning the fairy teachings have been a part of this person's past, and part of their present work is to provide a sense of the imaginative to others. There is much in this mineral regarding the need to be free and to play so that one is not overcome by one's commitments to purpose and mission. It is a lighthearted healing mineral which promotes the expression of ecstasy on a level which brings satisfaction. Dioptase is easily polluted and should be cleansed once a week to maintain its "amperage". Placing by water, following a moon exposure is excellent. Dioptase can be combined with violets to produce excellent elixirs. Daffodil and dioptase elixirs can counteract depression and post-partum blues. Cranberry and dioptase elixirs create a joyous heart. White lily and dioptase is an excellent preparation for PMS sufferers. (Acts on the 4th chakra.)
DIOPTASE AND KINOITE: This rare combination is like brushing your teeth. It cleanses and keeps tissues from "decay". Excellent for old people as it stimulates glands and hormones which tend to slow down in old age. (Works on the 4th through the 6th chakras.)
DOLOMITE: The "herb" of rocks. A natural abrasive and sponge in one. A stabilizer of personal and mineral energies; provides a buffer between disparate energies allowing clear focus of each frequency. Strategically placed in a home with multiple minerals, they create balance in the atomosphere.
DRAVITE (Brown Tourmaline): Strongly associated with healing and cleaning in the will (orange) chakra. Excellent for the legs as well. As the person lays on the back, place dravite on the stomach area. For hip problems, roll on either side and place the mineral on the hips. Minerals which work well in unison with dravite are "halo rock" (selenite) and jade. The selenite draws white healing light through the crown chakra and through the chakra chord. The jade can be placed on the heart chakra to eas tonal frequency updrafts and downdrafts while the selenite and dravite interact. This stone is particularly useful to people who gather their illnesses in the will chakra. (Acts on the 3rd chakra.)
ENSTATITE (Cat's Eye, Dark Green): An Arcturean nekton. A nekton is usually associated with aquatic animals on earth, but the analogy being presented here is that enstatite is an excellent connector mineral from Earth to Arcturus because it allows the vibrational static of the planet Earth to be neutralized so that communication is clear and vivid. The mineral supports the teaching of Christ to be in the world but not of the world. Enstatite allows self-light to be pure unto its conviction without being engulfed or dimmed or swallowed by other light or darkness. It is an excellent companion stone to iolite.
EPIDOTE: When a mirage surrounds the heart, it is as if the world to the individual is an indistinct, wavering concept which can be dreamed but never held in the palm of the hand. When man is cast into the sea of his personal doubt, he experiences the mirage, and he knows the irrational fear or reality displacement and conscious mental dissassociation. This time is incredibly trying and the survival of which is often accomplished not through wits and sensibility but through rest, sustenance and collection of energies. Epidote is such a mineral, bringing to the calamity of separation from reality, the cognition that rest is required. Epidote heals the linkage in the physical which allows information from the other realms to be incorporated into conscious awareness. The individual is made more cognizant; has special or certain knowledge often from firsthand sources. This process is not easily elucidated. It is an enhancer of the personal process of power recognition and apprehension, in the sense of perceiving.
ERYTHRITE: This mineral's bright crimson crystals appear in radial urchin-like formations on the matrix. The bright patterns activate the lower chakras so blood flow improves for people with serious blood disorders like pernicious anemia. Held between the thumb and forefinger of the left hand at the end joint will infuse this energy into one's being, causing a healing reaction as the lower vital organs are stimulated. (Activates the 1st chakra.)
FLUORITE: This mineral brings higher realities into the physical plane and balances mental energies. Good for meditation. It actualizes, increases life forces and expands mental power. The cubic clusters symbolize advanced technological states in harmony with the universal principles. Fluorite clears the mind of stress from fast-paced living. The octahedrons represent the advancement of the individual in the modern world. In the blue, purple, golden and white colors they effect teh head and also chakras above. (Primarily works on the 6th chakra.)
FOSSILS: Though this a very wide subject to place into only one category, it may be worth mentioning. Due to the strong life-force that is preserved inside fossils, holding fossils and meditating can be very uplifting when this stored energy is tapped. They also provide a natural link for those wishing to develop conscious bonding with the animal kingdom. (Works on the 1st chakra, grounding and bonding.)
GARNET-YELLOW (Grossularia): This stone has qualities of cleansing the digestive areas as the yellow - green color works up from the typical first chakra influence. (Acts on the 3rd chakra.)
GALENA: This cubic lead structure adds balance to the emotions and the etheric body. It is an infection fighter and works on strengthening the lungs. (Works on the 3rd and 4th chakras.)
GEM SILICA: This clear high-blue colored mineral impacts the upper fifth chakra energies and along with its' communication enhancement properties will tend to add "compassion in action" to the wearer's skills. The yin energy of the stone gives it an emotional balancing effect, extending its influence to the heart chakra. This mineral truly impacts the soul and is sought after for healing layout work. Rarely found alone but sometimes with better grades of Chrysocolla. (Acts on the 5th chakra.)
GLASS (Fugalite and Fulgarite): In addtion to the man-made variety, the cycles of nature make glass by fusing silicates and other minerals. It varies in color and shape since it is not crystalline. Besides the specific color healing which can be accomplished by back-lighting the mineral and taking 10-20 minute treatments (e.g. yellow glass cleanses the system of toxins), the mood of a meditation can be enhanced, such as blue - serenity, violet - spirituality, etc. It is interesting to note the homogenous and therefore universally androgenous nature of this substance. Some sources say some glass is of extraterrestrial origin which would liken it to tektites. (The chakra affected will vary with the color.)
GLAUBERITE: This mineral is good to use in the garden as an antifungal agent. It is also good in combination with other garden purifiers, cleansers and balancers. In conjunction with rose quartz, plants are able to metabolize available soil nutrients more efficiently and produce larger, healthier blooms and fruits. Excellent to experiment with as it is very versatile and harmonious.
GOETHITE: Goethite can be likened to blue / green tourmaline, the power and majesty of the ocean revealing to man a great sense of quietude and peace internally. Also, the tidal rush of liquid resonance is given form and play in this mineral. For the true soul-yearning magic of this planet shall be contained in the mysterious truth which is water and to tread upon water is to command the essence which is the life blood of this planet. For man to experience clarity of purpose on this planet, he must be redeemed of water for it is the element which calls him home and which creates for man the recognition of purity. To be brought back to health without a use of and respect for water is not likely. Goethite is the water mineral.
GOLD: This metal is the master stabilizer, balancer and grounder. It prevents personal and spiritual corrosion. Gold is an all-purpose healer, especially for the heart. (Acts on the 4th through the 2nd chakras.)
GRANITE: This matrix has the same properties of clear quartz in a more dispersed pattern, much like quartz clusters. Therefore, it is a good foundation stone in building structures to generally uplift the energies of a place. As with other prevalently seen stones in our everyday world, we must remember not to take this stone for "granite". (Acts on the 7th chakra.)
GREEN PHASE: As the name implies, this is a phase-tone rock. This means that the rock is something like a cusp in astrology; it falls between two types of rock, primarily schist and jasper and is an amalgam of both but having the entire qualities of both, so it is unique. Green phase is an excellent "in-bath" or "in-water" stone to balance discordant frequencies. It is and excellent healer's stone for this reason. The healer can place the green phase at the solar plexus or heart chakra and obtain information regarding what is imbalancing the patient. Green phase is excellent to place near to newborns while they recover from the trauma of moving between extreme life phases and this applies to dying individuals as well. The qualities of this mineral enable "presence of mind" to be experienced as a generalized or localized body knowledge so that the energy nuances of life (existence) can be read more accurately over a larger mass of tissue than the brain center. (Works on the 4th chakra.)
GYPSUM: A category of sulfate minerals generally clear and tabular with distinct cleavage layers. Reduces swelling of mucous membranes. It is a tension reliever and a balancer of the body's electrical charge. (Acts on the 7th chakra.)
GYPSUM (Golden): The lack of density in the weight of gypsum makes it conducive to space travel and work. What this means is that for those attracted to concepts of extraterrestrails, spaceships and the like, this mineral provides primarily two aspects: (1) the wearer sends out a frequency of alert yet friendly interest to the cosmos. It acts something like a radio transmitter. For those with malicious intent, it zeros the frequency to ground and the individual becomes a non-conductor; (2) for those of psychic expression, it provides a stronger awareness of link-up, something like adding a stronger beam to the frequency so interaction between earth and space is enhanced. Holding it in the left hand increases receival and holding in the right hand increases transmission. Holding in both hands allows the psychic to optimize both. It can be worn on the body, and it can be worn over the third eye to free the hands for psychic work. (Acts on the 7th chakra.)
HANKSITE: These cloudy, opaque, yellow crystals have a "herkimer diamond" shape and are often included with the earthy tones. In plain talk, they look like lemon drops. The impact is between the chakras; specifically the second and third. These little gems help open up the "energy conduit" between these lower centers for healing and personal empowerment. It also stimulates high spiritual mentality with its subtle golden hue. The double terminated aspect, which is a trademark of Hanksite, naturally helps the energy flow between all the affected areas. (Works on the 2nd, 3rd and 9th chakras.)
HAWK'S EYE (Falcon's Eye): When one can see with the depth and clarity of a hawk, one is privy to much information about the world, the scene around them. It is an awesome responsibility to see with such incision (direct and decisive sight) withour being overcome with empathy. This is the level of brotherly love putting itself on the warrior's path to truth, dignity and honesty. If one is willing to see everything and still love and forgive, then one has made a magnificent step into the Christ consciousness. From the hawk's point of view, life without this deep vision is a life of poverty and dependence. The truest way for the hawk to express his divinity is through the unflinching, powerful gaze. The next most magnetic bird sight is the owl. The owl expresses ageless wisdom, a certain air of sage grace. The hawk is all fiery intuitive knowing which activates the warrior spirit into action when needed. Only people with the hawk totem should wear the hawk's eye, but at one time or another all are called to make the visionary transition into the Christ consciousness. This can be facilitated by meditation with this stone. (Acts on the 6th chakra.)
HEMATITE: This mineral is like a mirror when polished, cut or faceted. The black / silver surface is much like an early camera. It has a photographic memory. When placed in a situation, the hematite will record what occurs around it, and the scenes can be viewed as if reeling through a movie. Once all the many interstices are full, the hematite must be cleansed before it can record anything new. Sun and moon for a week is suggested, plus mental applications of deprogramming the crystal to accept new information. (Works on the 6th and 7th chakras.)
HEMATITE INCLUDED QUARTZ: Hematite-included quartz crystals are a master quality crystal. The interaction of hematite and quartz produces a high quality visual transmitter and receiver depending on the termination shape of the crystal. These can be used by clairvoyants (visual psychics) to counteract fatigue during readings and to optimize accuracy. Held up to the third eye, at first, darkness will occur, and then receivership begins much like a movie. The same occurs during transmission. These crystals will be more easily and frequently used as more people become aware of and master higher self awareness and transcendental dialogue. As a healing tool, this crystal combination eases catatonia and autism, allowing the intervenor or practitioner to access the functionary aspect of the individual so that self-healing can begin. (Acts on the 7th through the 12th chakras.)
HEMIMORPHITE: Hemimorphite, half-form, induces thought / nervous system integration. When a person is in a coma, it will aid the re-integration of brain circuitry and chemical functioning. The neurons and electromagnetic charge of the brain are exceptionally susceptible to the healing quality of this mineral as its near-form state is what is needed to overcome some brain dysfunctions caused by accidental blows, etc. It is not so good in addressing hemmorage for example. It is conducive to beginning the proper integration of the mind in dyslexia. This stone combined with amethyst, smoky quartz and selenite will reduce hypertension and hyperactivity caused by chemical imbalance and fluctuations. It is an extremely useful stone for children until the age of 12 when the delta waves begin functioning in the brain. The hemimorphite relieves mental stress and anxiety for children in difficult situations. In light blue to white it works on the head region. (Acts on the 6th and 7th chakras.)
HERKIMER DIAMOND: High quality clear quartz, usually double terminated, found in Herkimer County in New York. This crystal cleans static from the aura and higher energy bodies plus toxins from the physical body. Used for clear energy transmission, therefore, good in communicating with higher forces. Commonly used over the third eye at night for dream work or during meditation to enhance connection. Works on the 6th or 7th chakra.)
HOLLY BLUE: This stone has several qualities which are not necessarily parallel or complementary. They are at angles to one another creating sacredness through interdimensional connectedness. The stone is excellent for fish aquariums or for offering up as a symbol of connectedness to the Piscean Age now past. It is an exceptional alter stone, and can be placed on the dining table to represent thankfulness for the sustenance received from the One. It is a purifier of air and water and can be cleansed in rose water once a week for several hours. There are some ineffable aspects to this stone which will come with use, and it is important that this stone have an experiential base in the individual so that the sacredness which is taught through and embodied in this stone is made real and palpable. (Acts on the 6th chakra.)
HORNBLEND:Hornblend is the ambassador or mediator of crystals promoting the manifestation of brotherhood through allowance and acceptance of differences rather than through enforcement of pseudo-like-mindedness. It tends to promote the expression of personal qualities thereby showing individual uniqueness. It is a mineral capable of reducing the emotional static of tension and conflict between parties attempting to reach agreement on an issue. It helps individuals to reach clarity on what they perceive as their vested interests and to accept compromise so that both parties can achieve resolution. Hornblend contains aspects of grounding and is a highly stable interactor with other minerals and humans. (Acts on the 4th toward the 1st chakras.)
IRON SULFIDE INCLUDED CRYSTAL (Churgar): This is an excellent mineral for internal warming. Can transmit warmth to frostbitten extremities from the inside out so the body's natural abilities to heal are allowed to occur. For frostbite, the crystal is held in the palm with the thumb and the fingers placed near the injured parts. Headache due to sunstroke is alleviated, and heat prostration can be avoided altogether by wearing this crystal. This is a healing tool specifically and is not meant to be worn as ornament as it has a tremendous impact on the internal homeostatic system.
JADEITE: The highest gem grade of jade is jadeite. It acts as an emotional release tool during dreams. This stone is of value when used in the sleep area or placed on the throat. (Works on the 5th chakra.)
JASPER: Stimulates the sense of smell. Promotes general healing, tissue regeneration and stimulation of the immune system. The placement and effect varies somewhat with the color. Yellow jasper stimulates the heart area. Red is used for bronchial problems. Brown is for grounding and green jasper has overall healing use when worn or held in the hands. (The chakra affected varies with the color.)
JET (Lignite): This black mineral is a type of coal formed from carbonized wood. It has been revered as a protector against illness and personal attack by many ancient civilizations, especially those of the European continent. People were even buried with it to protect them in the afterlife. It was used specifically for toothache by the Greeks. (Acts on the 1st chakra.)
KYANITE: Kyanite is an elevator, raising vibrations to an openness not accustomed to the user. It does not relate directly to alleviating depression and depressive state symptoms, but it provides a higher level of awareness where the personality may look out and see the "light of day". This ability to rise above one's self-imposed vision of the world provides for the user a roadmap, an idea of what is available should the customary mindset be put aside for a moment. For those already attuned to an optimistic frame of mind, it provides a lateral or horizontal widening out which gives breadth to vision, allowing the user to incorporate new areas of thought into the mental framework thereby enlarging the scope of the individual's positive influence. In the aged, it provides a remembrance of youthful zeal and innocent idealism thereby refurbishing familiar patterns of positive intent and reducing the pull toward de-energized thinking which allows the onset of the death spiral. It is best kept wrapped lightly in cheesecloth or cotton rather than risk fragmenting the delicate structure through handling. (Acts on the 6th chakra.)
LAPIS LAZULI: This great mineral provides mental calming while providing strength of will. It increases psychic ability and allows for spiritual growth. It assists with the growth of interpersonal relationships. Lapis was used extensively in ancient Egypt. This stone is commonly included with white calcite or golden pyrite, both helping it to integrate the indigo energy into the body. (Works on the 6th chakra.)
LARIMAR: Incandescent. This mineral is good for curing the common cold, coryza. Of the blue ray, Larimar captures the essence of the blue flame, the point where the flame burns hottest. Larimar provides internal fire of the proper stage for expression, allowing all residuals of toxins to be emitted safely and healthfully. Larimar works well in conjunction with herbs, especially fireweed and coltsfoot. Larimar promotes the externalization of internal beauty and intensity. (Acts on the 5th chakra.)
LAZULITE: Lazulite is a powerful mineral for the environment and can be used for healing applications on the bare skin for 10 to 20 minutes, to reduce boils, sunstroke and inflamed insect bites. It can be placed near burn areas but not on them as direct application "freezes" the injured area too quickly and leads to moisture loss, inhibiting natural healing. Environmental benefits include promoting a calm atmosphere among usually tense individuals. It is especially conducive to promoting agreement during mediation of disputes. The qualities are especially adaptable to male energy whether in the male or female body. Its deep color promotes tranquility. (Acts on all chakras, but especially the 6th.)
LEPIDOLITE: This mineral is a soothing and gentle relaxer for the environment. It is an ideal sleep mate for the bedside table or headboard area. This stone is very subtle, harmonizing well with energies and vibrations of other minerals and provides them a home, and is not changed by the associations; but those coming in contact who are susceptible to the carried mineral can absorb it without negative reactions. Its violet hue softly works on the third chakra to remove negative forms and in turn balances emotional energies. Often, deep-pink Rubellite is found embedded in the matrix. (Works on the 6th to the 3rd chakras.)
LITHIUM: Lithium can be likened to the tooth fairy bringing a gift to the user when some part of the self which is no longer useful is shed. This is something like recognizing the rites of passage, and for the self to make comment on internal changes. It can be useful to hold the Lithium in meditation so one is induced to more clearly perceive the benefits of discarding what has become baggage. The name in spirit is 'abracite', being especially useful as a stone to ward off calamity as in the term 'abracadabra'. Most people will assume it is just a rock just as they assume abracadabra is gibberish, therefore, it can be worn and shown to others without hesitation. Lithium has transcendental powers making it possible for change and transformation to occur more rapidly, peacefully and equably. It is a power stone enhancing clarity and the ability to stretch out into the transformative space as defined by the individual prior to the complete entrance into that space so that prior information can be gained for preparatory purposes. It is an emotional balancer. (Acts on the 4th chakra.)
LODESTONE (MAGNETITE): Lodestone strengthens the aura and helps rid the body of toxins. It promotes stability. By balancing polarities (yin and yang), it allows for overall healing. Lodestone increases personal power and attracts people to the One. It is used to charge pyramids and crytstal formations when placed at the corners. This placement may more than double the grid power. (Acts on the 1st chakra.)
MARBLE: A calcite-based mineral, commonly a dull white with patches of green, grey, brown, red or pink minerals. It is recrystallized limestone and a stone of the third ray. The different color variations will impact the body according to the normal color / chakra associations. However, in general, marble whether viewed in architecture or hand held, communicates mobility within proportion. There seems to be an order to its randomness of design. This mineral has a balancing quality like soft but intricate music which creates a tender link with the soul. The pink variety soothes the heart and grounds our love to the physical plane. (The associated chakra varies with the color.)
MARIPOSITE: The amazing aspect of mariposite is how it speaks to resiliency. The Spanish word for butterfly is mariposa and the fine delicacy of this insect is also an aspect of mariposite. How does the short life span of a butterfly become enduring and resilient to environmental forces? It chooses stages of lifeform where it can incorporate genetic response to stress in the environment such as the worm or caterpillar stage. It houses itself in a tough material such as a silk cocoon and then it lives a life of brief, gentle, captivating beauty. In rocks, brief is usually exemplified in the aspect of shattering. Mariposite is a rock which experiences a shatter phase and then a quick, intense conglomerization which creates the strength of character and durability exemplified by silk. Mariposite supports the ability of the individual to create resilience of personality. Without it, the shatter-phase of existence creates separation rather than reorganization and union with the principle of molecular adherence. It is a truth that some molecules desire bonding. The inability to bond is the recognition that surrounding surfaces or molecules are in trauma, and the original molecule can 'absorb' trauma because it has no other option except complete and total separation. The risk in separation is that it is an insurmountable barrier to unity. Mimicking the surrounding tissue until release from the situation is common and leads to the ability to reprogram and adapt and thrive in new conditions.
METEORITE: Typically, this mineral is metallic and black, brown or grey and is of extraterrestrial origin. Meditation with a piece helps a person connect with other-planet past lives and present extraterrestrial associations. Consciousness is generally increased due to this natural telepathic connection. (Works on the 5th and 6th chakras.)
MICA (Gold and Silver): These are the more common varieties and yet their metal appearance provides windows to the higher realms. Mica, usually being found mixed with other minerals is an ambassador (in the mineral kingdom) for the universality of things. It is a melder and connector of differences, a peacemaker. Mica allows the whole to be greater than the sum of the parts. (Works on the upper chakras.)
MICA (Pink): Pink mica is an excellent heart chakra equalizer. The window rock qualities of mica in the pink ray are attuned to emotional revelation. When individuals experience confusion or hesitancy, meditation with pink mica often allows internal illumination so that the disrupting or causal factors may be identified. Pink mica does not possess a large field of influence in small quantities so placing on the skin is suggested. (Acts on the 4th chakra.)
MOLDAVITE (TEKTITE): This is a seer's stone to be used by the initiated and the adept. It will cause electrical impulse / frequency alterations on a temporary or semipermanent basis depending on the frequency of use. The green ray applied to the third eye automatically provides healing knowledge to be available to the user and promotes healing of the brain / nervous system network especially by consciously drawing white light through the chakras while having it on the third eye. It will aid in healing coma induced by intense body trauma. It should not be used by people in shock as the blood chemistry will become confused by the application while the person is in this state. It will aid all disorders stemming from improperly firing brain connections. It can be used to create bridges between synapses which no longer function, but it is not a permanent remedy. Synapse dysfunction healing would require the knowledge of a skilled practitioner as the laser like healing beams can also create other damage if not properly concentrated or positioned. (Acts on the 6th and the high-range upper chakras.)
MOONSTONE: Moonstone is a true balancer of emotions. Besides the normal heart placement it can be used on the will center to link to higher consciousness with protection. Specifically provides synchrony with moon-based cycles (menstrual and biorhythm). (Acts on the 4th chakra.)
MORGANITE: This is a pink beryl mineral associated with the heart center area. It provides strengthening for the muscles and nerves of the lungs and throat area. Its wet pink look provides an opener for releasing pent up emotions when visualization work is done, possibly causing tears of empathy. (Works on the 4th and above chakras.)
MUSCOVITE: Here is a story... Once, while sailing on thermals, a mountain eagle saw a lovely shiny object far below and swooping down to inspect it, it lost its luster and he lost track of it. He spiraled up again and was watching the ground for movement, when he spied the shinyness again. This time, he found several objects to home in on so he wouldn't lose the beautiful object, but once again he failed to see it when he swooped low. He left off searching for the object, but kept it in his thoughts all the night long. At dawn's earliest light, he was up in the sky again searching. He knew now that he would need help finding the object, but he didn't know who's aid to enlist. The crows and other birds always drove him away. The rabbits, shrews and mice were his prey. The coyotes, wolves and large cats were his equals, but too busy with their own work. As he thought through the list of possible friends, he realized there were none and he felt sad. At that moment, the shiny object caught his eye. The eagle settled on a high limb and watched the object all day. Occasionally, it wouldn't shine, but as the sun found it again, it would bloom forth in brilliant lavender color. By and by, through the forest came a small child wandering aimlessly. It came into the clearing and suddenly looked frightened. The eagle watched and came to realize that the child was lost. "Ho, there," he called to the child. The child searched the sky for the voice and saw only the beautiful eagle on a bare fir tree branch. "Ho," the eagle lifted his wings in greeting. The child was tired and too frightened to speak. The eagle spoke lovingly to the child and learned that he had wandered too far to return home by sunset. They agreed the child would sleep at the base of the tree and the eagle would watch through the night. The eagle saw many things, bats and owls and bobcats, but not one came close to the tree. In the morning, the child found berries and drank from a stream. Just as he and the eagle were setting off to find his home, which the eagle could see on the horizon, the child realized he could not thank the eagle enough for being so kind and being his friend. Just then, the eagle realized his friend had come to him, and he asked the boy to retrieve the lavender rock. The boy did so and, instantaneously, the boy and the eagle were in air flying toward his home...
This stone aids in raising the vibratory pattern of a person so that the higher self can be contacted. It works in harmony with the crown chakra. In combination with stones which work specifically with each chakra, the Muscovite amplifies and aids the vibration thereof. Muscovite also aids one in the contact of ones spirit guides. (Acts on the 6th and 7th chakras.)
NEPTUNITE: Neptunite harmonizes well within a network of other stones and acts as a transmitter. It is attuned to Neptune-born individuals. Neptunite is a "course corrector" allowing group dynamics to be maintained within a disciplined structure. This structure is meant to orient the whole to a broader community vision and promotes voluntary contribution. The sense of Neptunite is to recognize and accept one's obligations which can be embraced with a free and open willingness. One can recognize the inherent demand of the activity, but it is raised to a vibration of service and contribution rather than enslavement and demand. For those requiring drugs to maintain interest in obligations, and therefore, one's role in life, Neptunite reaches out to create a community allegiance and allows individuals to highlight the aspects of group intuition. This can lead to a prophetic ability in describing the destiny of a culture or group, and allows the individual to play an important role. Named for the Roman god of the sea. Neptunite can activate the Kundalini force when placed near the root chakra. (Acts on the 1st chakra.)
OBSIDIAN (BLACK): Black Obsidian is the Wizard Stone. It not only has a sphere of influence which holds back negativity, but in a large mass is a "door opener" both within an individual and in the psychic sense. It exists simultaneously in more than one dimension. Yet with all its power, it is a benevelent stone. It cannot be misused, for only positive vibrations can work harmoniously with its purpose. In the egg shape it draws upon itself infinitely. The pureness of spirit is reflected by the obsidian. Negativity cannot coexist with it, therefore, its presence aids the positive vibratory force of those entities and those material surroundings within its force field. It can also draw healing to the asker. This stone is highly recommended for all psychics!
OBSIDIAN (GOLDEN SHEEN): This variety of Obsidian combines the grounding and protecting traits with the upper chakra golden hues to provide an integrating and invigorating effect when worn or applied to the base chakra. It brings the golden ray into the earth energy area (1st chakra) and activates the will on the way. (Works primarily on the 1st, 3rd and the upper chakras.)
OBSIDIAN (GREEN): This is a companion stone, providing energy to other crystals and minerals and is a friend to them. Use Green Obsidian to heal the trauma of dropped and chipped crystals.
OBSIDIAN (MAHAGONY): This form of Obsidian inhibits the development of negative energies from the everyday environment. A worker stone like honeybees work to keep the hive clean. Cleanse often in white light.
OBSIDIAN (RAINBOW): All of the spectrum of light and color seeps out of the dark glassy rock when broken or cut at the proper angle. Any complete spectrum influence such as this is a visual of the wholeness of life and speaks for itself on a subconscious and conscious level at once.
OBSIDIAN (SHEEN): When cut into balls or eggs, it typically forms concentric silver circles (or eyes) which can be the focal point of meditation to tune to other planes.
OBSIDIAN, SMOKY (ROOTBEER): When combined with topaz and smoky quartz it will create a matrix for healing. The obsidian empowers the other two incredibly. It is an amazing enhancer in this combination. It should be shaped in cubes and pyramids for healing work. For skilled practitioners, tubular wands are excellent tools for placing in the ears to correct hearing problems associated with high decibel damage. This crystal can be ground and creates an excellent sacred sand. The refractory capability of the shards is beautiful for the visual impact of making sacred shapes. Pyramids can be crafted and worn as a primary protection amulet for emergency workers. The healing strength of the smoky obsidian revitalizes the lost energy given to accident vistims. This is a very friendly, life-giving essence. Extremely precious. It is extremely powerful as a gift bringing power to the receiver because the light workers will acknowledge the transaction. Each small piece and shard should be used and treasured. This stone however cannot be misused. It does not give its power to any but the light, so do not worry about theft.
OBSIDIAN (SNOWFLAKE): Literally the intermediary phase when all colors combine to create white embodied in the black protection of obsidian. A good stone to use in times of change for a balanced attitude. Use in meditation, teleportation, astral travel, psychic connection and reconnection with the soul group, planet or galaxy. The record stone, aids psychic hearing. The power of this stone derives from its multi-level psychic impact and characteristics. It melds all the aspects. One feels integration with the distant parts of self. Stimulates and promotes transformation.
OLIVINE: Olivine is an excellent purifier especially when used after bloodstone or citrine or smoky quartz. The aspects of olivine are like a fine tooth comb as opposed to a rake. It picks up the smaller impurity fragments and attaches them to Vitamins E and E for removal from the body. All fasts and colon cleanses followed by olivine water and wearing for a week will produce noticeable results. Olivine tends to tax the system of minerals, so upping the intake of minerals during the "olivine week" is beneficial.
ONYX: This mineral enhances visions. It is worn too frequently by people who are not aware of what it can do for the experienced practitioner. Best for meditation and dream emphasis. Must be used with apache tear for protection unless the practitioner is adept. Energizer to the system, it is also a general nerve soother and emotional centering agent. Sometimes used as a fever reducer. The dark form has root chakra association while the lighter (yellow / golden) has fifth chakra connection. This bipolar attribute helps the natural capillary action in the body. (Acts on the 1st and 5th chakras.)
OPAL: Harmony is the accent on the emotional, mental and psychic level. In its red / orange (fire), black, jelly blue and white / yellow forms, its impact is accented for different body areas, acting as a tonic and regenerator. Opal is known to emphasize the prevalent tendency of a person, positive or negative. (Acts primarily on the 4th chakra.)
OPALIZED WOOD: The qualities of petrified wood and opal combined. Working with old knowledge banks takes one out of the common earthly realm and places emphasis on higher ideals. However, this combo tends to fix a person's tendency and emphasizes it, whether it be mountain or valley behavior, therefore, it is best used by those on an awakened path. Not a good medallian and pocket stone for the non-believer.
ORTHOCLASE: The rounded nodule style as well as many others is a personal use stone being specifically useful for centering and balancing in the OM state of meditations. This is the ordered metempsychosis, the passing of the soul at death into another body either human or animal. It can be used to enhance conscious death.
OYSTER SHELL (Mother of Pearl): Like the pearl itself, its softened rainbow luster works on the entire body but principally on the third eye area. Creativity and intuition are enhanced by wearing the shell pieces. (Acts on the 6th chakra.)
PEARL: This substance improves the digestion of events, focuses attention in a balanced emotional manner, reduces irritability and is especially soothing in combination with colored gems. Though it can be worn anywhere on a person harmoniously, it has a special link to the third eye area. (Primarily acts on the 6th chakra.)
PECOS DIAMOND: The pecos diamond has an elastic nature being able to stretch out to accommodate the needs of the wearer as events unfold during a day. This quality allows the vibratory quality of pecos diamond to be compatible with a broad range of stones. It can be likened to a very diplomatic person. It brings out the best in the stones being worn at the same time. When used alone, it harmonizes the individual very quietly, very gently. It is a wonderful calmer for hysteria and anxiety especially when induced by stress such as shock or trauma. In mental patients, it brings a quiescence which allows them to utilize their minds to understand what has caused pain in the heart. Pecos diamond operates on negative expressions of emotion, allowing the user to perceive himself in that state with detached compassion rather than judgement and guilt. It does not stop the expression of negativity, however, it aids in allowing the individual to gain control over negative thought patterns and then to change them through conscious choice rather than repeat them. This stone has an interesting relationship to the interface of the conscious / unconscious, the mental / emotional, the trained / automatic responses. It activates the heart chakra and draws recognition with loving acceptance into this area. It is a friend of Kunzite. (Works on the 4th chakra.)
PERIDOT: This mineral strengthens the physical body and aligns and balances all the spirit bodies. Regenerates many organs including liver, pancreas, heart, spleen adrenals and the thyroid. (Acts on the 4th chakra.)
PETRIFIED WOOD: The long hardening process turns this into a composite of jasper, agate and other minerals. Therefore, it is a vitality and disease protection stone. Its principal characteristic is great age and solidified change and in addition it helps one with past life recall during meditation.
PIPESTONE (Catalinite): This prized red stone is still found in layers deep in a few select quarries where the Native Americans came from widespread areas to find it. Considered sacred as legends said it was from the flesh and blood of their ancestors. When made into pipes and other special ornaments it was used to sanctify and solemnize all significant events. It's general use for pipes by many diverse tribes speaks highly of the earth - spirit (fire) connection it provides.
PLATINUM: Platinum's highly conductive nature combined with the grey color moves energy to the base chakra area and relieves constipation. This helps one let go of heavy depressive feelings which tend to dampen the spirit. When worn this metal is particularly empowering for the feminine energy. The high chakra connection (at the eighth chakra) is mirrored from the first chakra. (Acts on the 1st and 8th chakras.)
PLATTNERITE: Plattnerite has an affinity to machines and likes to be around machines such as cars or kitchen appliances or even large ones such as electrical generators. The matrix of the mineral has natural properties which help the machine to understand its role in the natural world. Machines have terrible complexes about how they do not belong or fit in and plattnerite is an exceptional ombudsman to have near so the "owner" can tune in and understand what may be wrong or needed.
PORPHYRY (Flowerstone) - Diorite, Granite and Quartz varieties: The varieties range in color from grey, green to pink, red and violet, and purple. The darker red to purple was used in ancient Egyptian times and the Renaissance by the English and Greeks as a talisman for the leaders because it presents and enduring eloquence and soothes the nervous system which can help with public duties such as speaking and presiding over groups. All colors portray the connectedness of Earth's kingdoms. (Chakra action varies with the color.)
PREHNITE: Prehnite is considered an ascended mineral, in the context of off-planet work facilities. It has a strong ability to support life essence over great distance so it is fine to hold during meditative travel and out of body work. It is not at all a grounder so if grounding is an issue, remember to place obsidian (any type) at the knee chakra. Lime-green prehnite is more of an uplifter. It is deceptively durable and the quality that this evokes is to support the strength of the feminine principle which is deceptively durable and in the physical condition can long outlive its masculine counterpart. It is not a feminine mineral, per se, but its overall structure adds perspective to the yin force. Space travel is often perceived as a masculine occurrence, one reason it took women so long to get 'out there' - in the traditional NASA form. However, the yin strength of space travel is that it requires no outstanding vehicle or propulsion. It is accomplished through the feminine power of knowingness. The ascended aspects of prehnite enable humans of both sexes to more fully capture when the knowingness is present and real, so that it can become an embodied skill rather that a disembodied higher self quality. (Acts on chakras in the high upper range.)
PURPURITE: The chalky yet irridescent quality of purpurite attests to its ability to act as a physical filter and mirror to determine if physical healing work is progressing on course with individual needs. Purpurite should be used as a "scope" to determine if leads to health improvement are actually being employed in the body. To use purpurite, place it above the crown chakra approximately three to four inches. In-going light rays are thus filtered through the scanning network of the purpurite and information is mirrored back to either the healing practitioner or the individual, depending on intuitive clarity and sensitivity. Purpurite is a useful tool for psychics as it allows balancing and re-energizing of the crown and third eye chakras after working. Purpurite is also a good meditative tool as it allows full body frequency networking to occur. This means that the polarity of the individual is synchronized to allow the whole body network to function more serenely. It can be used to strengthen the impact of other healing stones being used in crystal layouts. For this purpose, the purpurite is placed above the crown chakra, about 2 to 3 inches, while the individual lays down during the layout procedure. Purpurite possesses a frequency modality which is highly Atlantean and allows much cross-connection and cross-reference work to be carried out. This means that purpurite, in meditation, will allow the Atlantean experience to flow more deeply within the individual so that the knowledge and skills possessed at that existence can be utilized. (Works on the upper chakras down to the 6th.)
PYRITE, IRON: The ancients used this mineral as a fire starter and as a mirror. It seems to stimulate the entire cardiovascular system and a particular impact on the throat area hints at its assistance with communication and a friendly exchange of words. A natural symbolic connection with the sun.
QUARTZ, BLUE: Excellent for optical stimulation of distressed or traumatized tissues. It is an excellent exceriser for those wishing to eliminate glasses, and provides good overall toning when used routinely. It is suggested that the specimen be placed in a lighted area when it is backlighted so that the individual obtains benefits from the light refracting through the piece. (Acts on the 5th and 6th chakras.)
QUARTZ, CLEAR: The most common quartz, in fact the link oneness it provides throughout the earth, gives it the significance of stabilizer of divine forces on this plane. It can be used for general toning and healing, and acts as a medium for meditation communication with all levels of spirit life. Its balanced polarity and common properties with many of our body's cells and substances, make it an aid to our physical and emotional well-being. This is the best mineral for affirmation / programming work as it is the most universal. (Acts on the 7th chakra.)
QUARTZ, GEODES: They would naturally possess the qualities of quartz and any other minerals found within the 'wholeness' of their integrated domain. They symbolize the beauty and power found 'within' us and the completeness of the circle found after they are opened up. (Acts primarily on the 7th chakra.)
QUARTZ, ROSE: This is the quartz of the heart, an emotional release and balancing stone. Its pink color resonates warmth and love. It helps all types of lonely and deprived souls. Especially good for children and those who needed love when children. The rose energy flows in with the circulation of the heart vessels. (Acts on the 4th chakra.)
QUARTZ, RUTILATED: Adds energy and life force to the clear quartz properties. A regenerator of people, crystals and plants. Helps one to resist aging and the general cellular breakdown caused by time.
QUARTZ, SMOKY: Smoky quartz physically assists the entire lower body, clearing and cleaning on a physical and emotional level. Its appearance is symbolic of its ability to bring the white light down through the body to the base of the spine. It provides grounding energy for successful action and naturally stimulates the adrenals. (Acts on the 1st chakra.)
RHODOCHROSITE: A stone that moves heart and emotional energy to the lower body to integrate higher and lower energies working on the triads of chakras to create a totality of the spiritual and physical energies. It cleans and amplifies the aura and other subtle bodies. (Works on the 4th to the 2nd chakras.)
RHODONITE: This mineral reduces emotional imbalance as it blends the heart pink with the dark root chakra colors. Helps one to achieve self-actualization. It improves the sense of hearing as it is a sound sensitive mineral. (Works on the 1st chakra.)
RHYOLITE: This mineral is multi-colored and allows for the blending of communication skills with the heart level emotional expressions. Male and female polarities are balanced by this mixture of elements. (Acts on the 4th and 3rd chakras.)
RUBELLITE: This is a red tourmaline, often found combined with lepidolite that produces a softly passionate influence. It activates love and devotion in a balanced way. (Acts on the 4th chakra.)
RUBY: Ruby strengthens the heart emotionally and focuses the ability to love; provides an energy boost, and increases personal courage. It provides emotional and physical stability - a preserver. (Acts on the 1st chakra.)
SAPPHIRE: Sapphire amplifies intuitive ability. An aid in meditation or prayer as it provides mental calming. Its complementary affect is on the digestive system, helping with assimilation on a physical level. Therefore, the total effect is healing and centering, physically and mentally. (Acts on the 6th chakra.)
SARDONYX: This is a banded combination of onyx and sard that usually looks white and red-brown, but is a chalcedony form. This stone helps alleviate depression and lack of confidence. Since the impact is on the upper lungs, thyroid gland and upper part of the nervous system, balanced behavior and increased happiness are the key notes. Its dark and light layers provide visual stimulation for polarity balance. (Acts on the 6th chakra.)
SELENITE (Halo Rock): This mineral is a mental and spiritual expander. A magical and powerful tool with particular benefit to practitioners of healing, meditation and the alchemical arts. Many of the clusters have absorbed mysteries which can be unlocked and revealed to the sensitive or psychic individual. The arrowhead, desert rose, hour glass, floret and fishtail shapes show its variety of powers of manifestation. (Works on the 7th chakra.)
SERPENTINE: Serpentine is a healing stone. As it works on the heart and lungs it helps the withdrawing of toxins and activates the absorption of nutrients and oxygen. There is a tendency for psychic opening as cleansed core body functions enhance the individual's sense of security and relaxes one's overall nature. (Acts on the 4th chakra.)
SCHIST: Schist is an excellent toner and balancer for the fingers and meridians leading off the fingers. Depending on what is combined with schist, specific attributes can be promoted. The color of the stone or conglomerate material will most clearly define its application. For example, schist (silver) with garnet, creates a body balancing circuit through the index fingers. The combination is particularly tuned to creating unity between the etheric and auric bodies - a wonderful experience for those unaccustomed to the spiritual awareness with a grounded and 'whole' feeling. A useful tool for those who have experienced the spiritual connection but only intermittently and with concentration, because it eases the ability to connect. The natural harmony of chosen mineralization again shows how specific connective attributes are especially attuned to the needs of the many in their quest for spiritual enlightenment. Gold Schist held at the throat chakra by the right thumb creates a body circuit which allows the gold healing ray to be breathed into the body. The throat is often experienced as an emitter because of the vocal chords, but it is the primary chakra conduit of physical as well as etheric well-being because of ingestion and inhalation. The ability to breath in healing essence can be accomplished with the appropriate stone / finger combination. For the body system, clear quartz and gold are the strongest overall healers, protectors and balancers, but schist is an affordable option which works optimally.
SILVER: Silver is a general disinfectant and cleanser as it works on the entire physical and subtle body systems. It is an emotional and mental stress releaser due to its purity and conductivity combination. The five highest chakras are activated when this element is worn. (Activates the 8th through the 12th chakras.)
SMITHSONITE: In its various colors, it affects the heart area and the fifth and sixth chakras. The violet specimens activate the spiritual, creative and mental aspects. In the turquoise color, its key ability is to align the emotional and astral bodies providing electrical balance which is good for personal and spiritual inter-relationships.
SOAPSTONE: Soapstone should be considered an essential type of mineral for the home, particularly, and in other daily environments. It is an excellent grounding stone for other rocks and minerals providing a solid foundation for the minerals. Specimens can be placed on the soapstone as a general 'home' and since soapstone balances and counteracts static, the minerals are maintained in optimum working order all the time. The thickness of the soapstone does not matter nor the color or essential qualities beyond basic identification as soapstone. Soapstone harmonizes well with the home. Soapstone can be cleansed with smudge, incense, flame and sun applications. It is an excellent 'workhorse'.
SODALITE: The metabolic balance of the glandular and lymphatic system is an important affect of this mineral. Its high blue color shows its spiritual signature trait. It is an affordable replacement for lapis lazuli in healing / growth work and in providing activation to the third eye area. (Acts on the 6th chakra.)
SPECTRALITE: This mineral is an infuser stone. The colors found in particular pieces show the shimmering quality of the Aurora Borealis. Only in the northern lands can rocks be fused (or influenced) by the awe-inspiring essence of light crystallized in the sky. When the Aurora Borealis occurs, it is ephemeral and shadowy as well as dramatic and flaming in intensity. The ethereal essence is retained in the ore and and the delight of light movement within the structure of the rock calls forth the 'yes' response. The infuser nature calls forth the spiritual part of oneself. The mineral can be worn by all astrological elements. The air signs are given the ability to reveal inner beauty with a measure of dignity. Water signs are given the ability to show how necessary their presence is in the expression of beauty for others to experience. Earth signs are given tremendous validation and self-awareness with this ore. They will experience how the earth can capture and make concrete for others the qualities they possess. The fire signs are shown how to release their energy in the proper amounts so that they do not drain themselves creatively or in the expression of their internal beauty. Through the process of using this stone, the wearer realizes that all beauty is contained within, but it must be given or showcased sometimes on a broad canvas for the exceptional power to be known by self and others.
SPINEL: Spinel occurs as octahedrons, twins or rounds on matrix in white, pink, red, blue, green, brown or black. It is a powerful system detoxifier. This mineral helps synchronize the emotional and etheric bodies. The blue variety is a mellowing agent for poisons while the red spinel works on blood renewal, reducing inflammation on the skin surface and/or cell level.
SPODUMENE: This is a prismatic silicate with vertical striations (like tourmaline) which comes in white, yellow, green, grey and pink (the pink is known as Kunzite). A consciousness elevator with its refined columnar structure. (The chakra action varies with the color.)
SPHENE (TITANITE): This mineral is usually yellow-green to dark brown in clusters of short tabular crystals. Working with this mineral aligns the spiritual, emotional, etheric and mental bodies. The entire system of nodes and meridians is stimulated and general health is thereby improved. (Works on all the chakras.)
STAUROLITE (Fairy Stone): In black or red-brown, it's characterized by cruciform twins. The 90-degree Greek Cross and the 60-degree St. Andrew's Cross are most prized for spiritual or luck enhancement. Staurolite is an excellent physical protection mineral which enhances the descent of the total-self light into the physical plane. It is exceptionally useful for disturbed children who can easily fall prey to unseen negativity when distress is in their lives. Staurolite is an inducer of higher self perception and will encourage and support the individual to remain in personal truth thereby creating a reality and sensation of courage. Whenever battle must be done with the forces of dark, Staurolite is a well-honed companion for the task. The 90-degree form of Staurolite is the stronger form for personal protection. The 60-degree form is more conducive to higher self recognition. Both forms possess aspects of both, one choosing to orient more to the other use than the other.
STILBITE: Especially in the peach tone, it is a special mineral used for bridging the arc into non-physical reality, particularly when vacating the body at death. It is harmonic with rose quartz and aurichalcite, often creating the necessary heart chakra connection and healing which allows the individual to accept and yield to the higher self guidance of choosing to vacate the body. The body is often healed by this combination thus making clear that spinal or mental afflictions were causing the physical descent. Stilbite is a powerful relayer of the loving allowance which creates the ability to accept one's condition and move beyond. (Works on all the upper chakras.)
SUGILITE (LUVULITE, ROYAL LAZEL): The deep purple color creates balance for the body's uppermost glands (pineal and pituitary), and connects the spiritual levels with the physical body. The heavenly healing forces can rain on the system helping with all the modern stress related diseases, even cancer. Good gift for the sensitive and psychic, especially children. (Acts on the 6th and 7th chakras.)
SULFUR: Sulfur's sunny color is the unlocking force to enhance physical vitality and beauty. The poultice-like affect draws impurities from the body's lymphatic system, relieves colds, sinus problems and helps build the immune system. (Acts on the 3rd chakra.)
SUNSTONE (Heliolite): In the yellow and darker shades, it projects light into the lower heart chakra area, causing facilitation of a friendly will force which is a harmonious and meets little resistance. (Works on the 3rd and 4th chakras.)
THULITE: Thulite is a powerful heart chakra mineral. The pink/green combination exacts the highest level of clarity in a natural mineral combination. This means that the chosen path of union in this mineral is as strong as placing and emerald and pink tourmaline at the heart center. Chosen union in this case indicates a high sacrament of mineralization which is highly meaningful to the activities of men. It is an exceptional stone to be given to newlyweds, and it is an excellent stone for anniversary celebration. It will ease argumentation between any two people by opening the heart to clarity of emotional intent. Thulite draws the rose of the lower part of the body into the green of the lung area allowing the lungs to aerate the bloodstream and especially cleanse the lower body. Two people may perform the communion sanctity act by placing Thulite in each hand and crossing the arms at the wrists, left hand palm up, and right hand palm down and clasp each other's hands with the Thulite between palms. This forms a cross-point, figure '8' immortality and sanctity spiral. It is the physical expression of two double helices in union spiraling to the Source. Extremely powerful and uplifting. The essence of Thulite is not to achieve healing through work or exertion, but to enact healing through the experience of sublime and sacred union. (Acts on the 4th chakra.)
TIGER'S EYE (Cherry Red): Set the stage! Light the lights! This is an excellent stone for public oratory, presentations, etc. The qualities of this stone enhance confidence in oneself and the subject being presented. It allows clarity of thought to be projected with profound sensitivity to the needs of the audience. If the material being presented seems to be missing the point, it is not uncommon for the speaker to transition into descriptions which carry meaning and depth to the audience. With hematite inclusions, it is a sage combination meaning that the wisdom of the total self is more easily brought into the dimensional reality of the user. This is a throat chakra mineral with resonance in the other chakras, thus individual harmonics are bridges to facilitate greater expression of self and the knowledge of total self. (Acts on the 5th chakra.)
TIGER'S EYE (Golden Yellow): Its soothing blend of hues flow together like the words of one who wears it at the throat. The 'mind's eye' can be focused and insight is the natural by-product. This mineral is actually quartz based. (Acts on the 5th chakra.)
TIN: Tin is a core-level healer. It focuses on the lungs. This metal helps cleanse areas that have become inflamed and festered. (Works on the 5th to the 3rd chakras.)
TOPAZ: The red, yellow and orange topaz work with the digestive system and therefore helps with assimilation of nutrients and energy. This, and the direct will-center impact, facilitates correct action. The gem quality golden and white topaz is an opener to the spiritual fire at the crown. (Acts on the 3rd and 7th chakras.)
TOURMALINE: In its color range, it activates the associated chakras from black (schorl) at the first; red (rubellite) at the second; brown/orange (dravite) at the third; green (elbaite), pink and watermelon at the fourth; blue (indicolite) at the fifth; cat's eye at the sixth; clear at the seventh. Generally, it is an emotional stabilizer and it draws off the static and tunes the nervous system.
TURGITE: This mineral is good to dispel anxiety attacks. It brings rainbows back to those who have not been in the world for a time such as agoraphobics. Turgite is an excellent stimulator for depressed people. It is an excellent stone to enliven homes which have experienced death or loss of a loved one in divorce, etc. It is a home oriented stone being more conducive to home interchange than to business world matters.
TURQUOISE: Longevity is increased by its ability to protect the primary body systems from pollution. This mineral is provides overall toning physically and emotionally gives its wearer vibrance. Selected as a sacred stone by the Native Americans, its list of attributes could fill a book! (Acts on the fifth chakra.)
UNAKITE: Of the family of pink/green minerals, unakite is the elbow of the body. The elbow seems to be a necessary junction in the arm allowing movement and flexibility to the limb, but it also gets bumped because it is willing to located at a focal point of activity. This analogy shows the inherent use of unakite as a heart chakra mobilizer. Often, when other minerals and mineral combinations have helped to heal the heart chakra, there seems to be no movement or new growth, or the willingness to be bumped, to be out there in the activity of the world. Unakite will support movement and is the obvious follow-up to a series of heart chakra healing applications. This phase of green is highly grounded and provides the heart the knowledge that a firm base of intuitive power has been revealed through healing and release. This supplies the heart chakra confidence. This phase of pink is strengthening and motivating. It provides vision to the newly exposed heart. When all seems bright with expectations and promise, unakite says; yes, by the grace of God, follow your heart. Be your love. As you are, stronger shall you be. (Acts on the 4th chakra.)
URANINITE: Sometimes pitch black but with other associated minerals the light violet to dark purple range of color stimulates the third eye and crown chakra area to really allow intuitive and spiritual opening. This mineral helps teach us to allow God's will to join us. (Acts on the 6th and 7th chakras.)
UVAROVITE: Light green, feldspar pink, and white-lavender. It is an excellent heart chakra healing conglomerate. The aspects of this combination are especially sympathetic to gentle release of past heart trauma followed immediately by infusions of green healing waves and mental acceptance (in the lavender tone) of all that is recognized in the process. This is an excellent practitioner stone. Since it is highly resistant to absorption of negativity, it can be used by a progression of individuals without constant cleansing. Once a month is plenty in sun and moon. It is a release enhancer. (Acts on the 4th chakra.)
VARISCITE: A healer right down to the DNA level for the individual and passes this much needed energy right into the blessed earth when worn at the first chakra.
VERDITE: Literally verifies 'hunches'. It is an excellent mineral to use to back up intuitive powers. The stone, upon asking a question, will provide an electrical impulse which activates the 'truth response' in people. Most people will experience a tremor or a chill sensation going from head to toe. Depending on the level of verification provided, the impulses will range from 1 to 9. No sensation at all indicates no verification. Some people will experience paroxysms or shudders and no specific number of impulses are provided. The person will convulse either mildly or strongly depending on the verification response. Through use, the person will learn to gauge the level of verification from the experienced electrical impulse.
VIOLANE: This is Diopside with Manganese and is purple making it an excellent spiritual companion for prayer, contemplation or meditation. (Acts on the 6th chakra.)
VIVIANITE: Vivianite is peerless. It is the entrusted stone used in many capacities by trained and knowledgeable women. It is balanced by female energies so it is best used by women though it is not exclusive to women. The spire shape is something of an anomaly and should be wrapped and carried carefully. One important aspect of this mineral is that it is a 'space writer'. The thought form is placed in the air by the handler and can be left as a message (to be viewed when a match is burnt) or can be transmitted across space / time something like a plane trailing letters. Good fun. It is a perceptive healing tool and to the sensitive, it acts as a stethoscope allowing the other hand to become more sensitive to tumors, breaks, etc. The cluster form of Vivianite is excellent for placing under a diagnostic table and was often employed in this manner, aiding the healer to read what ailed the patient. In a room setting, it helps to dispel emotional charge which is disruptive or counterproductive, and is excellent for enhancing communication on all levels. (Acts on the 6th chakra.)
WULFENITE: Yellow, red-orange clusters of flat crystals act on the navel area, activating the spleen and organs of digestion. Placing or carrying this mineral in this area helps clean and purify the system as toxins are dislodged during the energizing of the abdominal area. (Acts on the 2nd chakra.)
ZOISITE: These long striated crystals are found in brown, blue, green and white. Its primary area of impact is to stimulate the root chakra. With better flow in this area, a person's overall energy level and adrenal balance are enhanced. Both the male and female sexual organs are healthier and a fertility increase would be natural. A pink variety with manganese is called Thulite. A violet variety with chromium and spontium is called Tanzanite. (Acts on the 1st chakra.)
