Sphalerite Meanings, Zodiacs, Planets, Elements, Colors, Chakras, and more. Science & Origin of SphaleriteSphalerite, also known as zinc blende and black-jack, is a zinc sulfide mineral that crystallizes in the form of masses, botryoidal, cubes, tetrahedral crystals, and dodecahedral crystals. Its most commonly silver and grey, but can also be seen as red, black, yellow, brown, green, and colorless. Sphalerite was discovered in 1847 by E.F. Glocker and was named after the Greek word meaning “treacherous”. Like most minerals during this time period, crystals that looked similar were just called under the same name. Sphalerite got its name from it constantly being confused with Galena. Its very common to find Sphalerite formed with a variety of minerals such as @Fluorite@, @Pyrite@, @Galena@, @Dolomite@, @Quartz@, and Calcite. Sphalerite is a common mineral that can be found all over the world, with the best specimens coming out of Mexico, Morocco, Switzerland and Franklin, New Jersey.Sphalerite is the most important ore when it comes to extracting Zinc. Around 95% of all Zinc we use today is extracted from Sphalerite ore, making this mineral highly sought after in today’s society.Meaning & EnergySphalerite is here to help ground your energies and activate your lower 3 chakras. It raises one's courage, drive, and focus levels to heights they never knew they had within. This mineral helps one truly believe in themselves, and their ability to unlock their full potential in this life. Sphalerite pushes one to realize that their dreams are within their grasps and the only way to get there is through hard work and dedication. Sphalerite is here to provide you with the vitality and energy needed to push forward. Working with this stone will provide one with an “inner reflection” of themselves, as well as aid one as they grow into the person they truly want to be.This mineral is also a very powerful manifestation tool. Its powers are similar to that of @Hematite@, attracting only the energy you put out. If you are very positive about what you are manifesting, and you put your heart and soul into, you will achieve it. Sphalerite is here to ground all your thoughts, desires, and ideas, and help one on the path to them. You are the creator of your own universe, and Sphalerite is here to remind you that every action you take affects your journey and future. Sphalerite can also be a very powerful protection stone when one is looking for a metaphysical shield. When working with this stone, or simply carrying it around, one will become imbued with powerful vibrations that will dispel any negativity on you, as well as block any future unwanted energies.

Hypersthene Meanings, Zodiacs, Planets, Elements, Colors, Chakras, and more. Science & Origin of HyperstheneHypersthene, also known as Ferrosilite or Spectrolite, is an iron magnesium silicate crystal and member of the Pyroxene group of minerals. Its crystal system is orthorhombic and can be found in the form of masses, grains, flakes, and small prismatic crystals. The color composition is usually a shade of green, black or brown with a flash of iridescence (also known as a “cat’s eye”). Hypersthene can usually be found within feldspar deposits around the world. Important locations are spread throughout Canada, Australia, China, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, Norway, and the United States.Meaning & EnergyHypersthene is a potent life talisman that promotes self-love & satisfaction, independence, strength, and endurance. One’s entire chakra column opens up and forces one to prioritize what's most valuable in their life. Instead of your mental state being concerned about what's next, Hypersthene redirects your concentration internally. This allows you to reflect, observe, and understand what it is your body (both physical and mental) truly needs. For most people, their narrow mental capacity simply does not allow them to understand themselves. The mind is usually too distracted to see an issue or is being medicated in the form of a vice (drugs, alcohol, etc.). This cycle can continue for years or in some cases lifetimes.Better Yourself With Hypersthene To avoid this lifetrap, we recommend constant meditation, exercise, and the desire to better yourself. Try working with numerous transformative stones (such as @Labradorite@, @Covellite@, @Rhyolite@, @Orthoclase@, @Astrophyllite@) in addition to Hypersthene to retrain the mind. Self-reflection can sound scary at times and sometimes it is. Only through time and energy can you not only make a difference on yourself, but also the loved ones around you. You must truly believe in the bigger picture and understand the importance of your life mission!

Limonite Meanings, Zodiacs, Planets, Elements, Colors, Chakras, and more. Science & Origin of LimoniteLimonite is the name given to a family of iron hydroxides (or other mixed oxides) and is one of the 3 major sources of naturally occurring iron here on Earth (@Hematite@ and @Goethite@ being the other 2). It can crystallize in many forms, most notably as a mass or cubic occurrence, but also as botryoidal and even pseudomorphs (secondary minerals replacing a crystal’s original compound; the word translates to “false form”). This is especially common on @Pyrite@ and @Garnet@, but can occur on a variety of different minerals. Limonite is a very common mineral and can be found throughout the world, with major deposits located in Austria, France, Australia, the United States, Brazil, and the ancient island of Cyprus.Limonite has it’s uses traced back over 4,000 years, while its first believed usage being yellow, brown, and red pigment. Neolithic cave paintings have proven that to be true and can be found throughout the world.Goethite vs. LimoniteLimonite and Goethite are very similar in color, shape, and formation. One major indicator to look for is the color. With these minerals, the depth of their hues are determined by the amount of iron within each specimen. Limonite is more brown and orange, and can even occur as a red earthy color (similar to that of clay). Goethite however, is usually silver, black, grey, and even metallic. When it comes to the way they occur, it's very similar, but their structure could not look more different. As Limonite is most notably found in mass, botryoidal or pseudomorph form, it often lacks cleavage and detail on the surface. Goethite is found as Botryoidal (and commonly pseudomorph), but will resemble Hematite before one’s mind will compare it to Limonite. It also can be seen in a bladed formation, closely resembling raw @[email protected] & EnergyLimonite holds us close to Mother Earth and provides the necessary strength needed to move forward during situations of stress and overwhelming anxiety. The grounding vibrations released during meditation root one to this planet while providing protection of one’s entire aura and physical body. With your eyes shut, imagine roots of a tree lightly entangling your body, binding and nurturing your daily vessel with complete, restorative energies. One’s entire emotional and etheric body will then begin to purify. Love is where it all begins, and the love for your own body and mind is the crucial piece to life we aren't taught in schools. With self acceptance, as well as putting yourself on the path of YOUR choosing, one can alter their entire life course for the better. One filled with laughter, love, joy, and happiness. This will all lead towards success (however you may determine that) and endless personal achievements. It’s not always easy to trust yourself, but Limonite’s empowering energies provide a swift adjustment. This will result in increased confidence levels in addition to better decision making capabilities. We hope you soon begin to empower others and push them to believe in themselves.“A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval”- Mark Twain

Garnet Meanings, Zodiacs, Planets, Elements, Colors, Chakras, and more. Science & Origin of GarnetGarnet is a silicate group of minerals that was first recorded as ΑνθραϪέ in 325 B.C. by Theophrastus. Pliny the Elder additionally recorded this stone in 77 A.D. as Carchedonius Garamanticus or Garamantic Carbuncle. The word Garnet derives from Gernet meaning “dark red” and the word “Granatus'' meaning grain or seed, in reference to its resemblance to a Pomegranate. Traditionally the Garnet group of minerals is composed of 6 sub-minerals: Almandine, Pyrope, Spessartine, Andradite, Grossular, and Uvaroite. Deposits of Garnet can be found all over the world with large specimens coming out of our old home state of Connecticut in the United States.Historical UsesGarnets have historically been regarded as a stone that helps with hemorrhages, inflammatory diseases, and the suppression of anger. Doctors lived by the code “similia similibus curantu” meaning “like is cured by like”. Thus, for ailments that pertained to blood, Garnet was likely prescribed. Asian tribes took it a step further by using small Garnets as bullets, believing that they would cause more harm than a regular one.Meaning & EnergyGarnet awakens our inner-fire and helps produce some of the strongest life force energy in the entire mineral kingdom. Pure strength and fortitude is activated within and the confidence in one’s self will raise to an all-time high. Once we are comfortable with ourselves, we are then capable of transmuting the most negative vibrations into positive ones. Your everyday focus should start pertaining more to yourself and your personal growth. Understanding who you truly are in this world is a lifelong struggle, but Garnet will nudge you into the right mindset.The earthen energies that radiate from Garnet restore proper order to our spirit body by giving us control over ourselves. Throughout life, you may have noticed that there are people who want to change who you are. This lasting effect will only lead to negative outcomes while also altering your purpose of why you are on this planet. Garnet refuses to allow you to make that mistake and helps you course correct if you feel as though you are not on the right path.Manifestation ToolGarnet is an orb of manifestation energy that can be channeled by an experienced practitioner during their sessions. The red rays of life force energy help bring our desires to life and expand upon our internal dreams. We suggest holding and speaking directly into your crystal, expressing what it is your heart wants. As you release these vocal commands you are reminding yourself of your goals and further planting the seed in your head. This seed will begin to blossom and grow as you begin to undertake the mission. By listening to your heart and attempting to achieve what you desire, you will feel an immense form of gratitude and happiness regardless of the final outcome or how long it may take. Throughout this experience, your entire mentality may change to become focused on something new, exciting, and better. If we do decide that our original inspiration has been shifted towards newly founded goals that does not mean you have failed. Instead, it shows that you have succeeded in a way where you have advanced your consciousness to a higher level than you thought was even possible.As an author’s note, this was our friend and brother John's birthstone. We particularly dedicate this stone in his name.

K2 Meanings, Zodiacs, Planets, Elements, Colors, Chakras, and more. Science & Origin of K2K2, also known as “K2 Granite” and “Raindrop @Azurite@”, is a unique stone found only in the snowy peaks of the second-highest mountain in the world, K-2. These mountains border China and Pakistan, with the stone itself only found on the Pakistan side to date. This crystal is extremely rare and has a mining process, unlike any other stone. The heavy snow, high altitude, and limited resources in the area make the value of this stone incredibly high. Many theories about the stones origin and creation are debated, but the common belief is that the granite (made up of @Quartz@, @Muscovite@, Biotite, and sodium plagioclase) hardened and the Azurite droplets then occurred during a secondary melt (a melt that happened after the primary stone hardened). There’s speculation that it's even true Azurite due to white granite and Azurite never before being recorded together. In many cases, there are tiny droplets of Malachite spotted throughout the white granite. It too was formed during a secondary melt, but can only be seen up close on a majority of specimens.Meaning & EnergyK-2 opens and unlocks our third eye and crown chakra. This stone helps strengthen the third eye to enhance psychic abilities on all levels (lucid dreaming, astral projection, telepathy) and assist in the opening of the crown chakra. When our crown becomes open, endless amounts of higher knowledge soon begin to spiral down within us. The third eye connection to the crown is vital at this point, and aids in “seeing” what this knowledge truly means. This information is here to serve you on the path to your higher self, and K-2 is the key to accessing this knowledge.Meditating With K2We recommend placing a piece of K-2 on your third eye while meditating to help strengthen it during this very communicative process. If you begin to feel comfortable enough and attuned after multiple sessions, The Council recommends placing a very high-frequency stone such as @phenacite@, @iceland-spar@, or a @herkimer-diamond@ on the top of your head. Doing so will access very high vibrations, energies, and messages from angelic beings. The reinforced connection between the crown and third eye will make the understanding of this knowledge easier.

Prehnite Meanings, Zodiacs, Planets, Elements, Colors, Chakras, and more. Science & Origin of PrehnitePrehnite is a calcium aluminum silicate mineral that crystallizes in the form of masses, globular formations, botryoidal, and stalactites. Rarely is Prehnite seen in crystal form, but when it is they are usually very tiny prismatic crystals. Prehnite’s color is usually light yellow or green, but can also be seen as white, tan, grey, or colorless. This mineral was first discovered in 1788 by A.G. Werner. Werner named it after the Dutch military Colonel Hendrik Von Prehn who was in charge of the region where this mineral was found. Since then, Prehnite has been found in China, Scotland, Australia, the United States, and New Zealand. In 2000, an extremely rare pocket of orange Prehnite was discovered in the N'chwaning mine in South Africa. By 2002, the vein was completely exhausted and orange Prehnite has yet to be found again.Meaning & EnergyPrehnite is one of the very few stones in the mineral kingdom that links our heart directly to our solar plexus chakra. That means that one’s heart space is now directly attached to one’s own personal will. Our personal will is responsible for pushing us forward to take action each day. It's the driving force behind each one of us as we move forward in chasing our goals and desires. By having one's heart directly in touch with their personal will, our purest dreams become a priority. Instead of leading each day with our distracted and confused minds, Prehnite helps us lead with our hearts. Our heart knows what we truly want to do in this world, and how to find happiness. Simply letting your most vital organ lead you along this journey of life will help you better understand both yourself and what you truly want in this world.Manifesting Your DesiresWe recommend meditating with Prehnite and using it as a manifestation tool. Grasp it firmly to communicate your dreams, goals and desires. Engage with this stone daily to keep those intentions alive so it can be a reminder as to the purpose of your journey. Doing this repeatedly will not only strengthen yourself but also make the universe aware of what it is you truly want. Prehnite is here to show you that you do indeed have complete control of your destiny. You will realize that when you put all of your energy into something you truly love, the opportunities are endless.While meditating with or sleeping next to a piece of Prehnite, one may feel a strengthened connection to a higher dimension. Interestingly, people often experience contact with spiritual beings and their guardian angels when working with Prehnite. This mineral is a powerful communication stone simply because of one's heart being open and in touch with our will. Our desire for knowledge and answers are endless, even on a subconscious level. Not to mention, in deep meditation or a powerful REM sleep, our heart is looking to grow, prosper, and heal. Prehnite will push individuals living passively towards a higher vibration and help one stay in tune to the energy within.Raise Your VibrationsPrehnite is commonly found intergrown with @Epidote@. Both of these stones offer up a high vibrational energy that channels directly to one’s heart space. These minerals will help jumpstart one’s heart and fill it with endless rays of love and compassion. Be aware that Epidote is a natural enhancer, good or bad. It will strengthen any emotions we may feel at that moment. We suggest placing this stone to the side if you are having a stressful day.

Adamite Meanings, Zodiacs, Planets, Elements, Colors, Chakras, and more. Science & Origin of AdamiteAdamite is a zinc arsenate mineral that was first discovered in 1866 in Chile.  Pure Adamite is colorless and usually less than an inch in diameter. The green sometimes seen within Adamite is actually caused by copper. This mineral is usually found as bright yellow, but can also be green, white, brown, or even colorless. The nicest Adamite specimens have been found in Namibia and Mexico.Meaning & Energy Adamite is a stone that enhances the solar plexus and heart chakras, aligning them together. By doing so, the Will is able to synergize with feelings released from the heart, exposing wants and desires while finding ways to pursue those said dreams. Adamite helps users get that “fire” relit inside of you, producing determination and optimism for one to achieve their desired destiny. Adamite has healing effects on the physical body as well and is recommended for anyone dealing with depression, mental fog, everyday cloudiness, or lack of energy. It stimulates the Endocrine System and will aid in everyday chemical imbalances most of us don’t even know we're dealing with on a daily basis. Adamite will help reconnect the body back to the mind and allow everything to get back to running smoothly. Adamite is very rare crystal you’ll only see in small pieces so it’s common for users to use an enhancing crystal such as @Quartz@ or @Rose Quartz@ to elevate the effects. Rose Quartz, and just about any other heart and solar plexus stone such as @Citrine@ and @Heliodor@, will act as gasoline on that “fire inside”. The heightened drive and determination will make any distant goal or dream become a not so distant reality you’ll be able to work towards achieving.

Grandidierite Meanings, Zodiacs, Planets, Elements, Colors, Chakras, and more. Science & Origin of GrandidieriteGrandidierite is an iron magnesium silicate mineral that appears in orthorhombic formations. Blue varieties of this crystal appear when there is more Iron found within the deposit. Grandidierite was first discovered on the cliffs of Andrahomana in 1902 by Alfred Lacroix. Alfred named this crystal in honor of the French explorer Alfred Grandidier who famously explored Madagascar. This mineral is extremely rare and most raw material is instantly sent away to be cut into high tiered jewelry. In 2003 a new deposit of transparent Grandidierite was found in the Kolonne area of Sri Lanka. To date, this mineral is only found in Madagascar and Sri Lanka.Meaning & EnergyIt's not every day that you get the chance to work with such a powerful and rare stone. We were fortunate enough to come in contact with raw pieces of Grandidierite and had immense experiences with it. Its manifestation energies pull you into the direction of what your heart truly desires. We often find ourselves at the edge of a cliff, wanting to jump, but we are too stricken with fear of the unknown to push ourselves off. Grandidierite opens your mind's eye and shows the benefits of making that final leap. The throat, third eye, and heart chakra become linked together when working with Grandidierite. This trifecta gives your heart and mind the opportunity to freely communicate with each other. This clear channel of thought can help you make concrete decisions that are best for your future. Creating your own reality requires confidence and determination. Don’t be afraid to take that first step!Enhance Your Inner-VisionsGrandidierite will open up your mind so that you can clearly see your truest potential. When sleeping next to this stone, you may find your dreams extremely moving and communicative, similar to that of @Cavansite@. Tasks or goals that you have been daunting over will wash away and appear much easier than expected. Authors Note: We would consider this stone the fast track tool of manifestation. The dreams we personally experienced were vivid future events that had yet to take place. After having dreamt of these encounters, the task at hand seemed much easier and achievable (almost as if it had already happened!).

Purple Jade Meanings, Zodiacs, Planets, Elements, Colors, Chakras, and more. Science & Origin of Purple JadePurple Jade, also known as Lavender Jade and Turkiyenite, is a rare variety of @Jade@ite that crystallizes in the form of large masses. The color ranges from lilac to deep purple, and usually contains white specs from spotted @Quartz@ inclusions. Additionally, minor inclusions of @Cinnabar@ have been reported (a mercury sulfide that exhibits tiny red dots and is extremely rare itself)!Purple Jade is believed to have been discovered within the last few hundred years in the Bursa region of northwestern Turkey (it is said to have been a stone of royalty throughout the Ottoman Empire). Since its discovery, no other Purple Jade deposit has been found, thus making this stone incredibly valuable and limited. It has become increasingly popular over the last few years with jewelry, carvings, and sculptures selling at all time highs.Meaning & EnergyPurple Jade is an awakening stone that not only activates and attunes one’s spiritual body, but promotes clarity and expansion of the mind. While working with this stone, you will begin to recognize your soul’s desire to ascend and “wake up”. This internal effect is directly due to Purple Jade’s vibratory field. It harnesses trans-dimensional energies capable of inducing remote viewing, astral projection, and cross-realm contact. These experiences can be achieved by EVERY single person if the time, effort, energy, and love is put in. We are all well-suited to advance our soul’s galactic purpose here on Earth. All of these effects can occur in a conscious and unconscious state, making this a remarkable stone to advance and understand your nightly dreams.Contemplate Your GrowthWe suggest placing this stone directly over your third eye, laying flat on your back, with slow deep breaths. Push yourself to maintain a clear mental state and allow your consciousness to flow freely in the direction of its choosing. At this point, the intuitive effects of Purple Jade can be noticed by the thoughts coming into your mind. Are these daily thoughts or are they unique ideas that have arisen from your subconscious mind? As you contemplate this question after each meditative experience, remind yourself of the power your soul is capable of releasing into the physical world. Your spiritual mission may not yet be understood, but through the channeling of Purple Jade’s energy field, one will begin to find their purpose here on Earth.

Pink Halite Meanings, Zodiacs, Planets, Elements, Colors, Chakras, and more. Science & Origin of Pink HalitePink Halite is a type of Halite that had its color tainted from bacteria of various algae species. Halite is known as the “natural form of salt” and is a very common mineral found near oceans and salt lakes. This stone can be found in the form of masses and a tubular crystal structure. The specimen pictured below is from a dried up salt lake in San Bernardino, California. Be careful to avoid getting pieces of Pink Halite wet as it may start to disintegrate before your eyes.Meaning & EnergyPink Halite is a stone that pushes one to love every ounce of themselves and who they truly are. It’s a strong stone that helps one release emotional strain weighing down on them daily. Such feelings as self guilt, low self-esteem, and overwhelming anxiety are perfect symptoms of someone who should carry a piece daily. Pink Halite urges one to open their heart and allow all emotional strain to surface so that it may be dealt with. Once one has accepted what has happened, only then can they move on from it.Pink Halite is also a stone of great clarity. This stone has been known to assist in providing uplifting energies to anyone who constantly suffers from a foggy mind or lack of mental energy. It helps one who is constantly debating or weighing certain decisions in their head, and pushes one in a direction. This stone teaches one to take great pride and care in their personal decisions they make, and assists with finding an abundance of joy in these difficult decisions.One special trait Pink Halite offers is the ability to provide a full etheric cleansing bath. Imagine using a piece of this majority salt mineral as a “bath bomb” and laying in a tub full of hot, steamy water. This will clear and cleanse one’s aura and help replenish energies that have been used up.Crystal PairingsPink Halite works well with a variety of other heart based stones such as @Rose Quartz@, @Atlantisite@, and @Green Apatite@. All these stones have been known to help in opening the heart and increasing the strength of the Pink Halite’s healing vibrations. When working with Pink Halite with the intention of aura cleansing, we recommend using @Selenite@. Selenite is a known enhancer and is a stone that does not absorb any negativity. When cleansing ones aura, negative vibrations can find a home in stones that are vulnerable, and Selenite is NOT that. We recommend cleansing and clearing your Pink Halite piece with sage or palo santo each time you finish using it. It's a stone that works with the heart, thus coming in contact with the strongest of energies.

Maligano Jasper Meanings, Zodiacs, Planets, Elements, Colors, Chakras, and more. Science & Origin of Maligano JasperMaligano Jasper is the name given to a recently discovered brecciated Jasper variety that was found in Indonesia around 2011-2012. The name comes from the small village it was found in on the island of Sulawesi (part of the four Greater Sunda Islands). It contains multiple different colors of Jasper (blue, red, orange, yellow, grey and beige) with veins of a greyish-silver Agate that has filled the cavities. At the time of this writing (July 2020) this stone has still yet to “take-off” on the market. In fact, many people in the geology and crystal community have never even heard of this new Jasper. We believe it is due to the inaccessibility of the deposit, as well as the limited amount that is usually pulled out of the ground. We’ve never seen large quantities of this mineral after it has been cut into slabs or as tumbling material. Those are indeed the two main ways that this mineral is sold, with rough being extremely hard to get a hold of.If you are looking for a cabochon, expect to pay on the higher side, simply due to the rarity and cost of the raw material itself. Add that to the precision of a master craftsman and you have yourself a certainly valuable, but costly final product. Either way, we always suggest going with what your heart desires. We knew the first time we saw this mineral that it was valuable so when we had the opportunity, we grabbed as much as possible. We fell in love with Maligano Jasper instantly and admired the great detail Mother Earth chose to display under a small village in Indonesia!Meaning & EnergyMaligano Jasper helps one shed layers within themselves that no longer serve them. These unnecessary attributes add additional weight whether it’s emotional, mental or psychological. This will only lead to negative thought patterns and bad habits. Maligano Jasper transforms our spirit from within and provides an aura that can closely resemble a “rebirth” effect. This pushes one to not only continue shedding layers of themselves, but also to begin questioning their surroundings and interactions daily. Ask yourself, “what benefit do I get by being around these people”. Most of the time one will come to the realization that the intentions of others provide no actual benefit. This mischaracterization was most likely hidden due to one’s lack of judgement regarding others.As you continue working with Maligano Jasper and going through the powerful transformation it brings about, one will also begin to loosen their minor obsessions with invaluable things. This revelation may be emotionally taxing, but is for the betterment of your own spiritual evolution. This will soon allow one to realize first hand one of life's most important lessons; happiness can only begin from within, and will only extend as far as you allow it to.

Shaman Stone Meanings, Zodiacs, Planets, Elements, Colors, Chakras, and more. Science & Origin of Shaman StoneShaman Stone, also known as Mochi Marbles, Navajo Berries and Hopi Marbles, are an Iron oxide and sandstone concretions found in southern Utah, near the north side of the Grand Canyon. They are believed to have formed over 100 million years ago, when naturally flowing water began moving iron minerals and sand together. Overtime, this naturally created these concretions which can range from pea size, all the way up to the size of a softball. These stones are fairly common in southern Utah, but can be troublesome to get your hands on them. Shaman Stones are mostly found on government owned land, national parks and forests, as well as Native American reservations where collecting is prohibited. Shaman Stones are believed to have formed similarly to the recently discovered “Martian Blueberries” on our neighboring planet. The NASA Rover “Opportunity” found these oddly shaped stones in 2004 and are believed to be spherical @Hematite@. They are found on the Martian matrix, as well as beneath the surface in loose sand. These “blueberries” are very shiny and almost appear to have a natural polish on them. The discovery of these spheres help scientists back up their theory that Mars once had running water on the surface. Studying Shaman Stones on Earth can help us learn more about Mars and the mysterious history of the planet.Meaning & EnergyShaman Stones were heavily used by the Moqui Indians (Hopi Tribe) who resided in the nearby Moqui Desert. Shamans within the tribe would use these stones in ritual practices and meditations with other tribe members. They referred to them as “spiritual talismans” and was used in channeling higher knowledge and contacting angelic beings and spirit guides. Another legend talks of how deceased spirits of the tribe would come at night and play with the “marbles”, and move them before daybreak. The people of the tribe viewed this as signs from their loved ones in the afterlife attempting to contacting them.Shaman Stones are very powerful chakra alignment tools that can help clear one of any blockages within. When our chakras are not in sync with one another, energy is unable to flow freely. This can cause one to feel off balance daily, become lethargic, have no motivation, and lose confidence in yourself. That’s where Shaman Stones come in and help revitalize your entire energy column. Meditating with this stone will help strengthen your connection with Mother Earth and provide the “nutrients”, knowledge and vitality she has too offer. One will notice themselves slowly begin a transformational phase of their lives and start a new cycle of growth. Shaman Stone unlocks a very intuitive side of you when working with it repeatedly, offering up great clarity and better understanding of yourself, environments, and even the people within them. Often times practitioners even experience enhanced psychic abilities, and use this stone as a talisman for psychic protection. We recommend using Shaman Stone in any ritual or meditation to provide complete protection of oneself, as well as carrying a stone with you for a powerful etheric shield.Shaman Stone is also a very unique crystal that helps one find their inner balance and expand it throughout their body. Much like the stone @Shiva Lingam@, this stone helps balance polarities and activates one’s Chi. We suggest a meditation exercise that involves you holding a Shaman Stone in each palm, with your hands raised to around your shoulders (with your palms open). Begin by taking slow, but heavy breaths, and allow them to reach the deepest point in your belly before you start exhaling. Clear up all of that space within and allow your inner energy to begin flowing again throughout your body. Continue doing this while your Shaman Stones are at your sides, pulsating like magnets and pulling all the negativity, waste, and toxic energy out from the depths of your body. While continuing to keep your mind clear, begin to envision yourself holding these stones on the side of you. Do you notice one side is constantly lower than another? Does one side feel clear, while another is still filled with negativity? Does your entire body feel clear and empty? These are all questions you should begin asking yourself as your session wraps up and especially after its complete. The intuitive side of you that Shaman Stone activates will help one better understand themselves and their inner and emotional balance needs.
