Petrified Wood Spiritual Properties: Stone of Wisdom

Shannon Marie

Petrified Wood (Root Chakra) (Zodiac of Leo)

Petrified Wood is a fascinating stone that began its existence as something else entirely. These fossilized wood pieces come in a wide array of colors and designs and can used just like stones. I have even tumbled and polished Petrified Wood just like any other stone and it turns out beautifully! These gorgeous pieces are a stunning addition to a crystal collection. Find out the Petrified Wood spiritual properties and how you can benefit from their supportive and healing blessings!

The Science of Petrified Wood

Petrified Wood didn’t start out as a stone, but slowly transformed over time into a fossil. When wood is quickly buried and remains for thousands of years, the plant matter is slowly saturated with silica which transform the cells into quartz, agate, or chalcedony. This process creates a perfect replica of the original piece of wood (rings, wood grain, and knots). When looking at petrified wood, you can clearly see its origins as a tree.

Historical Significance of Petrified Wood

Petrified Wood dates back millions of years. Ancient cultures have revered Earth’s creation. Native American tribes have used Petrified wood in ceremonies, burials, and spiritual jewelry. Tribes in Arizona used to use this stone to create dwellings as it is plentiful in that State. In fact, the Dine (Navajo) tribe tells stories of Petrified Wood being the bones on an ancient giant monster, Yeitso, who almost caused the end of the World. Ancient Egyptians used to use Petrified wood in funereal rites.

Metaphysical Attributes of Petrified Wood

Petrified Wood helps to reduce worrying. This is a stone that is deeply connected to the energy of the Earth, so holding a piece of Petrified Wood is holding Ancient Earth energy. It exudes an energy that is calm, still and deeply grounded. It helps us release worries about the “small things” and those things we cannot change. Petrified Wood also alleviates stress and enables us to focus on the most important issues we need to address.

This fossil stone helps with finding a mentor. As the Stone of Wisdom, it can guide you to a wise person. If you have been looking for a teacher or mentor this stone will help attract one to your life, or it can help you recognize a mentor that is already in your life. If you have been hesitant to commit to a teacher, this stone aids in releasing the fear or doubts. In addition, this gemstone enables you open up to your own Inner Wisdom and Inner Mentor.

If you are seeking spiritual evolution and development, Petrified Wood facilitates spiritual expansion. It enables us to access our deepest Inner Wisdom and dissolve barriers on our Spiritual Path. Petrified Wood reminds me of the essence of Ganesh, the Remover of Obstacles, this stone will dissolves barriers to development and growth. Combined with a wise mentor, Petrified Wood has the ability to accelerate our spiritual growth.

Finally, Petrified Wood enables us to access past life information.  The average age of these specimen is millions of years old so it connects us with our deepest past lives. This stone also helps with accessing Akashic records and the collective unconscious. Specifically, Petrified Wood allows us to ease into past knowledge to access lessons, wisdom and release attachments to past life issues.

Scolecite Spiritual Properties: Stone of Universal Connection

Shannon Marie

Scolecite – (Crown Chakra) – (Zodiac of Capricorn)

Scolecite entered my life about 10 years ago when it was very new on the market. I was fascinated by it. It’s becoming more available which is quite a blessing! Not only does it have a beautiful, light energy, but it looks like Rainbow Moonstone and Selenite had a gorgeous baby. Find out the Scolecite spiritual properties and how you can benefit from their supportive and healing blessings!

The Science of Scolecite

This crystal forms in fans, like Black Kyanite, but is much more fragile. You can find them in the crystalline fan form, tumbled, cut into cabochons, or even, very rarely, faceted. The best specimen are nearly colorless and transparent. Next best are ones that are all white and shimmery. Finally, you’ll find peach colored Scolecite, or a mix of peach and white.

Historical Significance of Scolecite

The name is a really interesting part of researching this stone. The name comes from the Greek word skolex, which means ‘worm.’ It gets this name based on “its worm-like reaction to a blowpipe test.” What?? This just means when heated during the blowpipe test (which is a test to identify certain gems), the crystals dry and dehydrate, then start to curl in on themselves, looking like… worms.

Metaphysical Attributes of Scolecite

Meditating with Scolecite invokes a sense of total peace. This is its primary quality – Peace. It helps us develop a sense of connection and peace with all. The peace can be with people, current situations, energetic, or emotional. This stone dissolves anxiety and fear. Anything that is causing stress in our lives can be eased with Scolecite. This crystal opens the Heart Chakra and connects it to the Crown Chakra, so we feel this heart-deep connection to life and energy through the entire Universe. It helps us to connect to Spirit Guides, Animal Guides, Guardian Angels, and any other guiding force we are seeking.

Scolecite spiritual properties are very protective for our personal energy. It heals and strengthens the aura. Scolecite repairs any holes or weak spots in the aura, which also protects against energetic intrusions of negative entities. It is a powerful crystal for healers and therapists to wear, as it keeps your personal energy from being worn down or from emotional attachments. This gemstone supports the alignment of physical and spirit body, so we can bring our spiritual experiences and learning into our daily lives.

Scolecite crystals are phenomenal for deepening meditation, inducing sleep, having peaceful dreams, and facilitating healing sessions. It allows us to release and let go into the Peace. This is wonderful to grid around a bedroom, or a healing/meditation/yoga room for deep relaxation and rest.

Clear Quartz Spiritual Properties: Stone of Amplification

Shannon Marie

Clear Quartz – (Crown Chakra) – (ALL Zodiac Signs)

This crystal is by far the one I use the most. It combines powerfully with every other stones and is a magnificent amplifier for Reiki healing. Whenever I send out distance Reiki, I add Clear Quartz to my Reiki name box to enhance the effects. I also add one bead of Clear Quartz to all of my healing gemstone bracelets to boost the effects of the primary stone. I have multiple pieces (tumbled, rough, wands, etc.) and some is always within reach! Find out the Clear Quartz spiritual properties and how you can benefit from their supportive and healing blessings!

The Science of Clear Quartz

Quartz includes a very large family of gems. In fact, it is the most common mineral on Earth! For this reason it has been called “the Grandfather of all Gems.” Although this article is about the Clear variety, quartz also includes Amethyst, Citrine, Rose, Smoky, Snow, Agate, Chalcedony, Aventurine, and many, many more. Quartz is used in watches and radios because it can produce electromagnetic energy when under physical pressure (piezoelectricity).

Historical Significance of Clear Quartz

Quartz is said to be named after the Slavic word for ‘hard’, but also the Greek word for ‘ice’. Clear Quartz is also known as Rock Crystal. Clear Quartz has been revered for ages. Crystal balls were used for scrying and divination. Japanese cultures considered Quartz a symbol for purity. Native American cultures believed that Quartz housed sentient spirits and would provide them with offerings. In fact, in Central and South America, Clear Quartz was carved into the shape of skulls to represent the spirits within.

Clear Quartz Spiritual Properties

Metaphysical Attributes of Clear Quartz

Quartz is well known for being able to amplify, store, and direct the flow of energy. The amplification aspect is extremely useful. It can amplify our intentions, so using Clear Quartz during intention setting rituals, moon phase ceremonies, and while creating vision boards will give extra power for those intentions to grow and manifest. Clear Quartz spiritual properties can be combined with other gemstones to amplify their effects. If you really need “extra” of what a crystal provides, pair it with Quartz for an additional boost.

Clear quartz is an amazing cleanser for our energy, aura, chakras, and physical body. It helps to raise our personal vibration and dissolve blockages that are creating imbalances. This stone inherently knows what we need to be Whole and works to correct the source of illness. The amplification property works especially well for healers as it can boost the effective of the treatment. I use Clear Quartz whenever I am working with Reiki clients to enhance the power of the Reiki energy.

Clear Quartz is a perfect gem for working with and developing metaphysical abilities. It helps clear distractions during meditation, so one can listen deeper and open the Crown Chakra up to receive information from our guides, angels, Higher Self and the Universe. If you are trying to expand your psychic abilities, include Clear Quartz in your practices to relax your energy, dissolve energetic or emotional barriers, and be more receptive to the messages.

Finally, this crystal records the energy it comes in contact with and it can be released or “read” at a later time. It helps to form a conduit to our past lives to help with karmic and soul healing as it holds a memory of “all that was.” This gemstone can be charged with an energy or intention to be used later on. The stone can be filled with the intention of courage, for example, if you have an upcoming event that frightens you. Then you can hold the stone during the event and receive the boost of confidence and courage.

This recording feature of Quartz has said to be responsible for a large amount of hauntings across the world. If a property was built on land laden with Quartz material, it will record the life history of that building and replay it long after the events have ceased.

Black Tourmaline was discovered in Germany in the 1400s and was named Schorl meaning “false ore”. Its protective qualities have made this a well-used stone in many Ancient magicians’ ritual work. Highly polished pieces were used for scrying and divination. It was used as a talisman by many to ward off curses and the “evil eye.”

Black Tourmaline, specifically, dispels, repels and transmutes negativity of all forms. This includes stress and anxiety. It grounds out those energies into the Earth and increases personal vitality and optimism. Schorl also prevents us from picking up the negative energy of others. If you live with, or work with, a particularly toxic personality, wear this stone to avoid absorbing their negativity.

Black Tourmaline Mantra Practice

Sit in seated meditation, holding the Black Tourmaline 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 any heaviness, darkness, or confusion draining out of you in the form of dark smog. It flows out into the Earth and leaves you shining and radiant. Repeat these words. “I am Safe. I am Grounded. I am clear of all Negativity.” Alternately, hold a Black Tourmaline mala and chant this mantra 108 times.
