Lepidolite Spiritual Properties: Stone of Transition

Shannon Marie

Lepidolite – (Heart & Third Eye Chakra) – (Zodiac of Libra)

Lepidolite is one of the lesser known gemstones, but it is oh so useful and practical! It is a lovely pink, purple and white sparkly gem. I keep one nearby at all times, because it is so supportive in every day life situations. Whenever life is particularly stressful, I carry a big piece around in my pocket and use it often as a worry stone. Find out the Lepidolite spiritual properties and how you can benefit from their supportive and healing blessings!

The Science of Lepidolite

Lepidolite is a potassium lithium aluminum fluoro-silicate. It is one of the primary sources of the metal lithium. One cannot absorb the lithium by touching the stone, but it likely exudes the energy and vibration of the lithium and contributes to its ability to calm someone holding the stone.

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.

Green Aventurine Spiritual Properties

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.

Malachite Spiritual Properties: Stone of Transformation

Shannon Marie

Malachite – (Heart Chakra)- (Zodiac of Capricorn)

Malachite is a gemstone that pulls alot of attention.  Its luscious green color and dramatic swirls just lead people to want to pick it up and stare at it.  The allure is also because it’s a very powerful stone that people are most definitely drawn to. Find out the Malachite spiritual properties and how you can benefit from their supportive and healing blessings!

**Toxicity Note** “The Crystal Bible emphasizes that Malachite is toxic and should not be ingested.  If you practice making gemstone elixirs in water – do not use Malachite unless under expert guidance.

The Science of Malachite

Malachite is found wherever copper is mined. It is formed when the lime in the water interacts with the copper and slowly creates this beautiful green stone one layer at a time.  (Azurite is also formed with copper this way and hence why Azurite-Malachite stones exist)

Malachite Spiritual Properties

Historical Significance of Malachite

Malachite is one of the oldest power stones.  Ancient Egyptians used Malachite often in amulets and in headdresses believing that it would help them think clearly and rule wisely.  The Egyptian Book of the Dead mentions green stones raining from the heavens, so they used Malachite to connect with the energies of Heaven. The Egyptians also ground it up to use as a cosmetic, paint, and dye.

Metaphysical Attributes of Malachite

A unique attribute of the Malachite spiritual properties is that it absorbs energies rather than emit it.  Malachite is used to pull out negativity, illness from the body and great to support detoxing.  If you feel there is something “stuck” in your system, place Malachite over the area to try to release it and absorb it out of you.  For this reason, Malachite should be cleansed regularly.  Use only plain water, light, or other stones to cleanse it, because it is a soft and delicate stone – no chemical cleansers or salt.

Malachite is a powerful stone for manifesting personal growth and transformation in one’s life. It activates and clears all of the chakras and stirs up stagnant energies in the body.  It absorbs anything blocking proper chakra opening and movement. When used in meditation, Malachite spiritual properties arouse complete honesty within oneself.  Anything blocking your progress will be brought the the surface.  Remember, Malachite draws things out, so it will show you what you are keeping hidden.  This process of activating, awakening, and revealing all lead to dramatic transformation is one’s life. Energies, intentions, illness, fears – can all be transformed by regular meditation with Malachite.

While all of this dramatic change and opening is occurring, Malachite protects your body and space from any potential contaminants that may block your progress or set you back.  When working through great transformation or transitions in your life, carry or wear Malachite to help steady to on the path.

Malachite is known as the “Midwife’s Stone” and has long been used by pregnant women and midwives for a safe and easy birth.  This stone also stimulates growth and strength, so that is another reason why pregnant women would wear it – for the healthy growth of the baby.  If you are recovering from long tern physical illness, or need to gain weight and muscle, Malachite will provide that stimulation.

Malachite Mantra Practice

Rose Quartz Spiritual Properties: Stone of Unconditional Love

Shannon Marie

Rose Quartz – (Heart Chakra) – (Zodiac of Taurus & Libra)

There are few stones that my Heart Chakra responds to as deeply as Rose Quartz.  I have a large piece that meditate with if I am having difficulty in my personal relationships, connections with others, or even just to have compassion for myself. Find out the Rose Quartz spiritual properties and how you can benefit from their supportive and healing blessings!

The Science of Rose Quartz

Rose quartz, like Amethyst, is another member of the quartz family.  It gets the lovely pink color from microscopic rutile-iron mixed in the quartz.

Rose Quartz Spiritual Properties

Historical Significance of Rose Quartz

Rose Quartz has long been associated with Love.  It was supposedly imbued with the warm, pink color by Eros, God of Love, to inspire love and attraction between people.

Metaphysical Attributes of Rose Quartz

This stone is by far the strongest Heart Healer in the crystal world.  The rose quartz spiritual properties are immediate, powerful and can tackle even the earliest traumas. Rose quartz is a stone to wear on you if you are working through break-ups and divorce, when you need some relief from heart break.  It also helps us to work toward forgiveness. It increases love and compassion for all, so if someone has harmed you and you have been having trouble letting go, this stone will encourage healing and forgiveness.

As mentioned, rose quartz can assist with healing childhood traumas and broken relationships.  If you grew up in a home that didn’t foster love and you feel inhibited now – this stone can help release those barriers around the heart.  Take care with using rose quartz as it will initiate the processing of old wounds and cause a release of the pain and suffering you’ve been holding onto.  Don’t hold back!  Releasing the pain and emotion helps you learn from it and let it go. Be prepared to have a support system available when doing deep meditations and healing with rose quartz. Have a friend standing by, or your favorite blanket and soothing music to help ease you back into the world after an emotional release.

Rose quartz is an amazing crystal to encourage self-compassion.  We are often very hard on ourselves; self-critical, unloving, unforgiving, and blaming.  Holding rose quartz, closing your eyes, and breathing deeply will allow our critical feelings about ourselves to soften and release. You are beautiful, you are loving, you are perfect just as you are.  This is the love letter from rose quartz to our souls.

Physical Healing Benefits of Rose Quartz

Rose quartz helps us to forgive and love; therefore, inviting peace, soothing and tranquility into our lives.  This helps to reduce stress and tension.  Rose quartz is also said to protect against radiation and improve circulation (which makes this a wonderful crystal during a detox). Finally, rose quartz is also associated with sexuality and desire, so is often used as a stone to promote fertility.  Surrounding your bed with large rose quartz crystals, placing tumbles stones in your pillow case, and wearing rose quartz rings during sex are some suggestions to increase your openness to conception.

Rose Quartz Mantra Practice

Sit in a seated meditation position, holding the Rose Quartz 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. Place your attention on your Heart area, imagine a beautiful flower blooming open at your heart, and repeat these words.  “I feel safe to open my heart and accept love that is offered” Alternately, hold a Rose Quartz mala and chant this mantra 108 times.

For a more traditional, Buddhist chanting practice with rose quartz, try a session with “Om Mani Padme Hum.” This is the mantra of the Compassion Buddha and inspires compassion to ourselves and every living being.
