Crystal of the Week - Shattuckite

Shattuckite is a highly spiritual stone that heightens vibration. It stimulates the third eye and throat chakra. It is useful to remember past-life experiences and to communicate. Sometimes, past lives create fear and reduce a person's abilities in this life-- this stone removes those blocks and clears curses and commands. It is useful during channeling as it is strongly protective ensuring that the entity doesn't take over the physical body. It is of a pure source and can be used to develop psychic abilities like automatic writing, telepathy and communication with extraterrestrials. It is also useful in health issues, for cleansing blood and clearing blockages within cells of the body. It is a very powerful healing stone because of the high concentration of copper it contains. It can be used to treat diabetes and calcium absorption problems.

Crystal of the Week- Azeztulite

This is a very rare and light bearing crystal and is a rare form of quartz. It is a stone for the New Age. It has an extremely positive vibration and has a high frequency. It aids in spiritual evolution. This crystal expands your consciousness. If you are ready, it can lift your awareness and vibrations to a higher level. It never requires cleansing and is always energized. This crystal should be handled with care if you are not used to working with spiritual realms or higher frequencies. The vibrational shifts can be so powerful and can have unpleasant side effects. One should first use crystals like Ametrine and Aquamarine first. Old patterns are dissolved with this crystal and deep emotional cleansing takes place. The opaque form has lesser vibration compared to the transparent crystal form. It facilitates meditation and induces a state of 'no mind'. It stimulates the kundalini to rise up the spine. It opens the third eye, crown and higher crown chakras. It can help you see the future. Its spiritual properties can be compared to that of the Sun, dissolving patterns of negativity, bringing higher levels of spirituality and enlightenment.

It is called 'The Stone of the Nameless Light' and is available only in North Carolina and Vermont in the USA

Crystal of the Week - Malachite

I will be assigning a Crystal of the Week every week from today where I will be randomly choosing a crystal and discussing it's physical and healing properties and which chakras it corresponds to. This week's crystal is Malachite.

Malachite tumbled stones

Malachite is a beautiful green coloured stone and is known to be a very good stone for healing. It corresponds to the heart chakra. It is an opaque stone and is made up of bands of different shades of green. This is a toxic stone which means that it shouldn't be used as a gem elixir ie drinking the water in which it is immersed. Gem elixirs are often prepared to heal one from within. But this stone is strictly meant to heal from outside. It is believed that malachite is one of the most important healing stones on the planet. It absorbs negative energies and pollutants easily. It also guards against radiation. It is strongly associated with the natural forces of earth.

Azurite and Malachite Raw Crystal form

It activates the third eye chakra, aiding in visualization and psychic vision. When placed on the heart, it heals, brings balance and harmony and opens the heart to unconditional love. It removes shyness and helps express feelings. It combats psychological problems like dyslexia and psychiatric illnesses. On the solar plexus it helps in deep emotional healing. It releases negative experiences and old traumas, bringing suppressed feelings to the surface and restoring the balance of the body. It is a very intense stone. If it causes heart palpitations, replace it with rose quartz. It is sometimes found in combination with Azurite. Together, they are a beautiful combination and aid people belonging to the Aquarius sunsign. It is also found in combination with  Chrysocolla which is used to balance emotions and bring peace.
