Girasol Quartz Spiritual Properties: Stone of Phobias

Shannon Marie

Girasol Quartz – (Crown Chakra) – (Zodiac of Taurus)

Girasol Quartz is a gorgeous variety of clear quartz with a lovely opalescent shimmer. It is also known as Girasol Opal, Milky Quartz, or Moon Quartz. This opalescent sheen is also known as the girasol effect. Its color can range from a very clear to a translucent milky color. Find out the Girasol Quartz spiritual properties and how you can benefit from their supportive and healing blessings!

The Science of Girasol Quartz

Quartz includes a very large family of gems and Girasol is only one variety in this family. 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 Girasol 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. Girasol Quartz, specifically, is named from the Italian word girasole, meaning “to turn towards the sun”. This name evokes the image of the light side of the moon as it faces the light of the sun.

Metaphysical Attributes of Girasol Quartz

Girasol Quartz connects us deeply with our karmic and past-life issues, especially regarding how these affect our present life. If you are feeling like something in your life feels out of place, unfinished, or like you are on the wrong path, but without any apparent source or root cause, these feelings may stem from past life or karmic debts. Sitting with Girasol can help you discover which aspects of past lives are affecting you now and how to resolve them permanently.

Because of its deep connection with karma and past lives, Girasol is most effective at helping us identify the root cause of phobias.  Many intense fears can seem unfounded, but actually have roots in a past life issue. Any unexplainable fear could be connected with past affects so intensely that it has followed you to this life.

The Karmic blocks need to be addressed and resolved for phobias to dissolve. Sit with Girasol and consider your fear. Allow information from past lives to arise and inform you of how to proceed.

In addition to its specific qualities, Girasol also shares many 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 said to help with the healing process in general, so if you are ill, or recovering from an injury or surgery, carrying Quartz with you will enhance the healing process.

Girasol Quartz Mantra Practice

Sit in seated meditation, holding the Girasol Quartz in your less dominant hand to receive its energy.  Really feel the support of the cushion or floor beneath you.

This light gently showers down upon you clearing any blocks and cleansing your entire energetic body. Repeat these words. “I am Clear. I am Open. I am ready to Receive Wisdom from my Past.” Alternately, hold a Girasol Quartz mala and chant this mantra 108 times.

Onyx Spiritual Properties: Stone of Attunement

Shannon Marie

Onyx – (Root Chakra) – (Zodiac of Leo)

Onyx is such a strong and powerful stone, yet it is supportive and comforting at the same time. This is one stone I am attracted to when I just feel “off” and don’t know what I need to get back on track. I highly recommend having some Onyx on hand for those times that feel scary, or you just feel adrift. Find out the Onyx spiritual properties and how you can benefit from their supportive and healing blessings!

The Science of Onyx

Onyx is part of the Chalcedony family and is best known for its deep, solid black varieties. However, Onyx can also be found as a black and white banded variety (sometimes called Sardonyx). Onyx is very much like Carnelian (also a member of the Chalcedony family) because it comes in solid orange and also banded varieties. I have tumbled Onyx that has multi-colored banding, so there is a great variation in Onyx above and beyond the solid black stones.

Historical Significance of Onyx

The name is derived from the Latin word (also onyx) meaning “claw” or “fingernail.” Onyx has been widely used throughout history to make tools, bowls, and carved jewelry. The Egyptians, Ancient Greek and Romans all used Onyx because of its strength and beauty. Ancient Romans carved amulets with the image of Mars, the God of War, for soliers to wear into battle. Onyx is also one of the gemstones mentioned as a Holy Stone in the Bible.

Onyx Spiritual Properties

Metaphysical Attributes of Onyx

Onyx is used to absorb what we need from the Universe. It is used to cleanse and sharpen the intuition, so we can better receive this Higher Guidance. If you are having difficulties determining your next step, how to solve a problem, or what you need to feel better – sit with Onyx, release any urges to “figure it out,” and allow Onyx to bring what you need to mind. Carrying Onyx will help to amplify and multiply the external signs from the Universe providing you with guidance. Make sure to journal and record what you observe while carrying Onyx, so you can recognize the advice from the Universe, Spirit Guides, or Angel Guides. You may find yourself noticing even more Angel Numbers, animal signs, colors, song messages or synchronicities – write them all down and you will receive what you need in life.

The Onyx spiritual properties support us during mourning and times of deep emotional stress. It helps reduce overwhelming fears and anxieties. Onyx helps us to feel more rooted and stable as it is an extremely grounding stone. We can sit firm in the present moment and release worries of the past or worries of the future. If life is scary and overwhelming at the moment, sit with Onyx for deep comfort.

This stone holds a memory of what has happened to the wearer which helps with past-life work. Onyx works very well with psychometry as it holds the energy and memories of those who have worn it. If you inherit Onyx jewelry, or buy it from and antique store, you will want to cleanse it thoroughly if you are sensitive to picking up external energies. As this stone enables access to the past, it is an excellent tool for helping us discover the life lessons in past situations.

Additionally, Onyx spiritual properties help to focus other gemstones energies, so combining Oynx with other crystals for energy work is extremely useful. If you want an extra boost of a particular gemstone’s benefits – hold a piece of Onyx in the same hand as the other stone for a super charged energy experience.

Today we are starting with the Master Cleanser of all Calcite: White Calcite. Find out the White Calcite spiritual properties and how you can benefit from their supportive and healing blessings!

Calcite is one of the most common minerals on this Earth. Given its ability to cleanse and purify, I consider that a good thing for the population of the Earth. Calcite is often used as an acid neutralizer and high quality calcite is also used in antacid medications. This crystal is also fairly soft and delicate, so should be handled with care.

Historical Significance of White Calcite

The name is derived from the Latin word for ‘lime’ – calx. Limestone is made up primarily of Calcite.

White Calcite Spiritual Properties

Metaphysical Attributes of White Calcite

All Calcite is a powerful cleanser and amplifier of energy. Just having Calcite in a room will clear it of all negative energies. If you are moving into a new home or office, place some Calcite around the entire space to give it a thorough energetic cleansing before moving in. It invigorates stagnant energy within the body. It acts as an amplifier of all energies, so it is especially helpful when using Reiki or any other energy-based healing practice. Calcite also holds warmth and energy, so can be charged with energy and intention for future spiritual practices.

White Calcite spiritual properties in particular are used to accelerate spiritual development. It clears unnecessary attachments, beliefs and energies from our system that are blocking spiritual growth. It connects us deeply to our higher consciousness so we intuitively know where we need to develop along the spiritual path. White Calcite allows us to trust in ourselves, our intuition, and be able to hang in there during difficult time. This is an excellent crystal to hold while meditating, because it clears the energy, settles the mind, and allows us to open up to guidance from our Higher Self.

Calcite helps us absorb human experiences for incorporation into our Higher Self .

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 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!

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.

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.

Moonstone has got to be one of the most magical looking stones on the planet.  Not only is it beautiful, and flashes and glows like the moon, but it has long been considered a sacred stone and included in magic use. There is something mysterious and magical about the sight of the moon in the sky, and this stone encapsulates some of that magic in a hand-held size. Find out the Moonstone spiritual properties and how you can benefit from their supportive and healing blessings!

The Science of Moonstone

Moonstone is an orthoclase gem that has phenomenal flash.  The orthoclase is layered with feldspar, and the refraction of light between those layers is what causes the shimmery glow (called adularescence).  Moonstone is available in a variety of colors: off-white, beige, peach, grey, blue and rainbow.

Moonstone Spiritual Properties

Historical Significance of Moonstone

Originally called selenitis because it was associated with the Greek moon goddess, Selene. It also had the name adularia due to its discovery near Mt. Adular in Switzerland.  In Arab countries it was used for fertility and to ensure large families. In Hindu belief, the moonstone was solidified pieces of actual moon beams.  It was a birth stone for those born on Moon’s Day (Monday). It has long been associated with magic and rituals that depended on the phases of the moon.

Metaphysical Attributes of Moonstone

Physically, moonstone is reflective, and spiritually it also allows us to reflect on our opportunities and intuitive wisdom. It allows us to think before we react.  This stone helps us to recognize new beginnings. If you are in a life transition, Moonstone will help you see the positive, new opportunities that arise from letting go of the old.

Moonstone is a powerful gemstone to calm the emotions. It helps to reduce overreactions and emotional triggers. If you are entering into a situation that might trigger an emotional reaction, wearing Moonstone will help to ease the fire and help you respond to the situation wisely.  The Moonstone spiritual properties are soothing and nurturing like a Mother, so if you are recovering from trauma this is a wonderful stone to keep near you even as you sleep.

This is a stone of wishing and hoping.  It enables us to absorb what we need from the Universe (not necessarily what we want). If you are at your wits end and want guidance from Spirit, Moonstone will help us hear the answers (just be prepared to hear the Truth and not just words of comfort).  Moonstone helps us to understand and follow our destiny.

Moonstone Mantra Practice:

Sit in seated meditation, holding the Moonstone 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 a rainbow of light streaming down on you from the sky.  This is the blessed light of the Moon. Repeat these words. “I am calm. I am at peace. I am ready to see my Truth.” Alternately, hold a Moonstone mala and chant this mantra 108 times.
