Green Calcite Spiritual Properties: Stone of Renewal

Shannon Marie

Green Calcite – (Heart Chakra) – (Zodiac of Cancer)

There is a special place in my Soul for all colors of the Calcite family. The base properties of the stone are so cleansing, and each color has it’s own unique cleansing focus. There are actually three Heart Chakra Calcite stones, each with their own heart-based healing. See also Pink Calcite and Mangano Calcite. Green Calcite works to clear from our Heart what is no longer serving us and help us look at love with new optimism. Find out the Green Calcite spiritual properties and how you can benefit from their supportive and healing blessings!

Science of Green Calcite

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 Green Calcite

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

Metaphysical Attributes of Green 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.

Green Calcite works to clear from our Heart what is no longer serving us and help us look at love with new optimism. This crystal dissolves bitterness, grudges, and heart sickness from our past. It enables us to leave past relationships in the past. This is not denying us the opportunity to process and learn from past issues, but allows us to let go of emotions and hard feelings that are way past their usefulness. Green Calcite helps us clear baggage from past relationships so we can move on to healthier and more fulfilling ones.

 Green Calcite is a powerful mental and energetic healer. Green Calcite spiritual properties eliminate attachment to out-dated, rigid beliefs that no longer support you. It supports you as you let go of the familiar and adopt healthier habits and thought patterns. Sometimes we react a certain way because we always have and it may leave us feeling stuck in life. If you feel you are at a standstill in a career, a relationship, friendship, hobby, or project, then sit with Green Calcite to remove any blocks or impediments that have stalled your progress and enthusiasm.

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.

Physical Healing Benefits of Onyx

Apache Tears Spiritual Properties: Stone of Recovery

Shannon Marie

Apache Tears – (Root Chakra) – (Zodiac of Aries)

Apache Tears are another gemstone that I grew up with while rock hunting in Oregon. These small, beautiful stones are in the Obsidian family. This stone has always felt so soothing and gentle to me and now that I have learned so much more about gemstones – now I know why. Find out the Apache Tears spiritual properties and how you can benefit from their supportive and healing blessings!

Science of Apache Tears

Apache Tears are really just Obsidian that has formed in a different way. When the force of the lava splashes the lava into the air it cools instantly in little round pebbles. Apache Tears are much smaller and more translucent that large chunks of Obsidian.

Historical Significance of Apache Tears

The origin of the name for Apache Tears is fairly well known. In 1870s, U.S. Cavalry attacked a tribe of Apache Indians in Surprise, AZ. At least 50 tribe members died right away and another 25 fought til their deaths. It is said the remaining wives and children of the fallen tribesmen wept and wept, and those tears turned into black jewels as they struck the ground.

Apache Tear Spiritual Properties

Metaphysical Attributes of Apache Tears

The most powerful of the Apache Tears spiritual properties is support during the grieving period. The original legend says that Apache Tears help to relieve the pain of grief, because the Apache families had already grieved and cried so hard that it takes away some of our pain by holding the stones. If you are suffering from the loss of someone close and it feels overwhelming, keep Apache Tears with you. They create a safe and secure energy field in which we can process and heal without getting overcome by such strong emotions.

Apache Tears are a softer, gentler form of Obsidian. It is extremely useful if you are working through really deep traumas and need to take it slowly. Like Obsidian, Apache Tears are an excellent grounding stone connecting the energy of the Heart to the Earth. It is a strong protection stone, protecting one from physical and emotional harm, as well as negative energies. However, it works slowly and steadily. Obsidian can feel rather sudden and abrupt, and sometimes that is necessary when we need quick assistance. But Apache Tears ease us into a state of security and safety.

Apache Tears also help to facilitate forgiveness and letting go of the past. Anger and bitterness from the past can trap us in a cycle of suffering, but Apache Tear help us recognize the cycle and break out if it.

Topaz is one of the harder gemstones at Mohs hardness 8, so it wears really well in rings because it is durable. It comes in many color (and even clear), but yellow-gold is the most common. Take care when buying blue or pink topaz, because blue is almost always heat-treated and pink is very rare, so is often color treated.

Historical Significance of Topaz

Today Topaz is primarily mined in Brazil (and found in my home state of Texas), but in the 1800s it was mined heavily in Germany. The name is derived from the Indian word tapas meaning ‘fire’, and from the Arabic word topazos – ‘found’. It has been used throughout history, and all over the world. The royal crown of England is covered in topazes, and many cultures considered it a stone of great wisdom.

Aquamarine Spiritual Properties: Stone of Courage & Letting Go

Shannon Marie

Aquamarine – (Throat Chakra) – (Zodiac of Gemini, Pisces & Aries )

Aquamarine is the birthstone for March and reminds me of the coming end of Winter as we move toward April. This stone’s gentle blue color is so peaceful to look at and hold. It takes me back to snorkeling in clear blue waters and relaxing times by the water. But even though it is soothing, it is a strong and powerful stone that grants courage during difficult times. Find out the Aquamarine spiritual properties and how you can benefit from their supportive and healing blessings!

The Science of Aquamarine

Aquamarine gets its name from its beautiful water blue color (aqua maris = sea water). Iron is the mineral that adds this color to the gemstone. It is mined all over the world, but the primary source is Brazil. This is a gemstone that is often heat treated to remove any greenish tint in the stone and make it more pure blue.

Historical Significance of Aquamarine

It was originally believed that Aquamarine was found in a mermaid’s jewelry box. It was said to turn color to determine if you are surrounded by truth or deceit.

Metaphysical Attributes of Aquamarine

Aquamarine is first and foremost a stone of Courage. It helps to calm and soothe the nerves and reduce fear. It allows us to remain brave and strong in the midst of chaos. It also gives us courage to be our true, authentic selves. It aids in unblocking communication, so we can find the strength to have difficult conversations and speak our Truth. This stone supports us as we find our individuality and build the courage to be ourselves.

This gemstone also gives us the courage to bring issues to closure and to release what we no longer need.  We often get in our own way and block our life and spiritual progress because we are afraid to let go of the old and venture into new territory. Aquamarine spiritual properties help us recognize what is holding us back. Maybe a relationship, job, belief, or doubt. Then it grants us the courage to acknowledge this and cut ties with what we no longer need in our lives. This act can be heartbreaking and scary, but absolutely necessary, so hold onto Aquamarine as you work through this transition.

Finally, Aquamarine is said to be very protective to those near water. If you’re traveling on water, maybe going on a cruise or on a boat trip, bring Aquamarine to keep you calm and safe during emergencies. It also helps during rafting, swimming, or when you’re near any body of water.

Crystal Wisdom Moldavite Benefits
ALL, Heart, Properties

Moldavite Spiritual Properties: Stone of Universal Compassion

Shannon Marie

Moldavite (Bouteille Stone) – (Heart Chakra) – (ALL Zodiac Signs)

I absolutely fell in love with this gemstone as soon as I saw it and heard its origin story. What a phenomenal transparent olive green gem that originated in outer space! Most tektites are black, but this was such a yummy shade of green that I hadn’t seen before. I dove into researching and investigating this crystal and found that it is extremely powerful and expansive to hold. I hope you have the experience of meditating with this crystal one day! Find out the Moldavite spiritual properties and how you can benefit from their supportive and healing blessings!

The Science of Moldavite

A tektite is formed when a meteor strikes the Earth and melts with the elements at the location. Each location’s tektite is unique due to the minerals and plant matter that was in the Earth at the time of the impact. Moldavite is the only tektite that is green (most are black or dark brown). This is due to the makeup of the soil in the Moldau region of the Czech Republic where the crater is located. The impact is estimated to have taken place about 15 million years ago, and local farmers have been digging up pieces of Moldavite from the strewn fields ever since. It has now become rare because its limited source has now been picked pretty clean. Even small specimen will demand a high market price.

**NOTE: Be very careful when purchasing faceted or cabochon Moldavite because it can easily be simulated by cutting bottle-green glass! The cost of this stone is very high so please make sure you’re not paying an exorbitant price for glass. Full disclosure – I got suckered once – don’t let this be you!

Moldavite Spiritual Properties

Metaphysical Attributes of Moldavite

To reiterate, a tektite is formed when a meteor strikes the Earth and melts with the elements at the location.  This is an important element that frames how Moldavite affects us. The original meteor sped for who-knows-how-many light years across a wide swath of the Universe. It has connected with the energies as environments throughout space and has collected alot of Universal minerals, vibrations, and information. So each piece contains elements from deep space and is connected with the breadth of the knowledge of the Universe. Moldavite then helps us channel all of that information!  It also helps us to gather and process all of the knowledge gathered during this lifetime and to retain only those experiences that will help us fulfill our personal destiny. Tektite helps us utilize the information we have accumulated and use it in daily life without effort.

Moldavite is an incredibly high vibrational and uplifting crystal. It has a dramatic effect on our aura, vibration and state-of-mind when we hold it. It enables extremely expansive and open meditation during which we can download Higher Wisdom. The Moldavite spiritual properties activate alignment with multi-dimensional beings and energies. It enables astral travel during meditation and sleep. However, be cautious, this gem should be used for limited time periods due to its extremely high vibrational and expansive effects. It is also good to have a grounding stone with you, such as Black Tourmaline, if you start to feel overwhelmed.

Moldavite is the Stone of Universal Compassion. This crystal is especially helpful for people who find the suffering and tragedies of human life too much to bear. It enables you to send out love, compassion and healing to all others in the world, rather than taking on all of their pain. It raises the vibration of the entire planet and is healing to the Earth. It is especially useful when utilized in groups after mass tragedies or environmental disasters to send group healing energy to remote locations.

Physical Healing Benefits of Moldavite

It is said that the Informational aspect of Moldavite helps with diagnosing illnesses and determining the physical and emotional root cause of the disease. This helps us see the lesson to be learned from our physical afflictions.

Moldavite Mantra Practice

Sit in a seated meditation position, holding the Moldavite 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 shimmery green light shining down on you from the sky. It brightens your entire aura and expands your Soul beyond your physical body. Repeat this mantra, “I am Open. I am no longer Limited. I am Ready to Receive an Abundance of Universal Wisdom.”
