The Science of Citrine

Metaphysical Attributes of Citrine

Citrine spiritual properties harness the power of the Sun, bring energy and spark to your life. This is a stone to bring physical energy when you are feeling depleted. It also brings Creative energy and inspiration when you are trying to manifest your ideas.

As the stone of Sun power, it is also extremely protective and cleansing. This is one stone that never needs cleansing! Not only does Citrine protect from negativity, it absorbs, transmutes and grounds out negative energy. It leaves an after-glow of positive energy in your environment. This is an excellent gemstone to keep with you at work, especially if you are working in a high-stress or energetically toxic environment. It’s good at home, your spiritual space, and wearing about with you. It relieves stress, depression, and uplifts emotions.

Citrine is primarily known for its ability to attract abundance and prosperity in one’s life. This is a great crystal for business matters and for starting new businesses and projects. Citrine helps to manifest wealth and alleviate debt. This gemstone also reminds us to be generous and to help others with the gains we have manifested. Cirtine benefits us for the Highest Good, so if we abuse Citrine’s gifts, then we’ll end up attached, miserly and suffering.

This is a gemstone associated with the Solar Plexus Chakra, which is the center of our Personal Power. Citrine brings confidence and optimism. It helps us not be so reactive to criticism, because we already know our own worth. This stone helps us to discover and enforce our own personal boundaries. It teaches us to say, “No,” and avoid being taken advantage of. Again, this is wonderful for a business, job interviews and closing sales. If you need a boost of confidence, wear Citrine.

Green Aventurine Spiritual Properties: Stone of Heart Healing

Shannon Marie

Green Aventurine – (Heart Chakra) – (Zodiac of Aries)

Aventurine was one of the very first stones I started working with when I started jewelry making.  It’s a beautiful green, and stones are readily available and affordable. There is something warm, nurturing and natural about this particular shade of green and it reminds me of being outside taking walks in the park. Find out the Green Aventurine spiritual properties and how you can benefit from their supportive and healing blessings!

The Science of Green Aventurine

Aventurine is a quartz with mica inclusions that provide the color and some sparkle. Depending on the type of inclusion, this stone can come in many different colors: blue, peach, yellow and more.  The inclusions that give Aventurine the green color are mostly fuchsite. Green is the most common color (and all the different colors have different metaphysical qualities, so I’ll post about them individually).  If a stone is labeled “Green Quartz” or “Blue Quartz” – it is likely Aventurine.

Historical Significance of Green Aventurine

In Ancient Greece, the stone was sewn into the clothes of warriors to inspire courage.  In shamanic cultures, this stone was used in medicine wheel rituals to connect with the loving energy of the spirit guides and gods.

Metaphysical Attributes of Green Aventurine

This is one of the best healers in the gemstone family.  It is especially effective at Heart healing. It can be used with any illness or imbalance.  The Green Aventurine spiritual properties instills a sense of calm and well-being.  In the Heart healing realm, it shields and protects the wearer from energetic attachments – particularly heart related.  If you are receiving unwanted attention, or recovering from a breakup and the person is still clinging, this gem will protect you from psychic and energetic invasions.

Green Aventurine is also excellent for ALL types of energy balancing. This helps with its healing abilities.  It can balance out masculine/feminine, yin/yang, and physical energies.  It you’re feeling “off” physically, a little out of sorts, then this is a good source to help you reset. Additionally, Aventurine diffuses negative energy and situations and turns it positive.  This is an excellent stone for healers in general, such a nurses, doctors, Reiki healers, and all those in a healing profession.  Not only does it help to balance and heal illness in the patients, but it also helps to protect the healer and keep him/her in balance as well.

Finally, Green Aventurine is linked to abundance and prosperity. This is less in terms of financial prosperity, but more of growth and plentitude, represented by the color Green. If you are looking to attract more love, friendships, joy and happiness into your life, then this gemstone is right for you.

Hematite Spiritual Properties: Stone of the Mind

Shannon Marie

Hematite – (Root Chakra) – (Zodiac of Aries & Aquarius

The heavy weight of this stone is so comforting.  It reminds me of a weighted blanket used for anxiety.  Hematite makes me feel like I am held in the giant hand of the Earth, being supported, soothed and focused just by the touch of the stone. Find out the Hematite spiritual properties and how you can benefit from their supportive and healing blessings!

The Science of Hematite 

Hematite is one of the most important iron ores in the world, because it is so plentiful, abundant and has so many practical uses.   As much as it looks like it should be, Hematite in not magnetic.  It is only slightly magnetic if it is mixed with enough Magnetite.

Hematite Spiritual Properties

Historical Significance of Hematite

Hematite has been associated most often with the blood. “The name hematite is from the Greek word ‘haimatitis’ which means ‘blood-red.'” That seems strange, right? It’s a shiny, black mineral… But, even though Hematite seems very black in color, ground up Hematite is actually Red, and is commonly used as a red pigment.

Metaphysical Attributes of Hematite

This dark black/red stone is associated with the Root Chakra, and is a natural source of grounding and stability. Hematite is the Stone of the Mind and is perfect when one is feeling “scattered.” It helps to focus the mind and improve memory. If you are studying for an important exam, Hematite is helpful in that it encourages focus, improves memory, and generates calm during the actual test.  If you are an author, Hematite helps you achieve precision in your message.  Also, if you need to have an important conversation with someone, Hematite helps you find just the right words and soothes you to keep emotions in check during the discussion.

Like many of the black stones, the Hematite spiritual properties include powerful protection and helps to dissolve and transform negativity.  If you work in an emotionally toxic environment, this gemstone can help transform the negative energy around you into Universal light and love. The Hematite would radiate positivity from you and ensure the negativity does not follow you home.  If you live in a negative home environment, keeping large specimen on Hematite in your room would provide you with a safe space and refuge.

Physical Healing Benefits of Hematite

As mentioned before, Hematite is associated with blood, so it is said to help regenerate red blood cells.  If you are donating blood (or receiving a transfusion), wearing this mineral on you afterwards can help with recovery.  As this stone is both grounding and soothing, having some in your pillow at night can help to fall into a deep, sound sleep.

Hematite Mantra Practice

Sit in a seated meditation position, holding the Hematite in your less dominant hand to receive its energy.  Really feel the support of the cushion or floor beneath you. You are grounded and supported by the Earth’s energies.  Imagine energetic roots flowing down into the soft, cool Earth.  The Earth’s energy flows up through the roots, up your body, and settles as a gentle pool of energy in your mind.  Repeat these words.  “I am calm, focused, and positive.” Alternately, hold a Hematite mala and chant this mantra 108 times.
