Shannon Marie

Rhodochrosite – (Heart Chakra) – (Zodiac of Scorpio & Leo)

Rhodochrosite is a beautiful, pink banded stone that is fairly rare now. Good specimens have stunning patterns in various shades of pink. It is highly sought after, so expect to pay a little more for Rhodochrosite jewelry than other more available stones. Find out the Rhodochrosite spiritual properties and how you can benefit from their supportive and healing blessings!

The Science of Rhodochrosite

This gemstone is a manganese carbonate. The mineral siderite gives it the pink color. Much like Malachite, Rhodochrosite is created one layer at a time. In Argentina, the Rhodocrhosite formed as stalactites in the abandoned Incan silver mines. The balance of components in the stone determine the shade of pink in each layer. Even more rare specimen can be very gemmy and translucent making it faceted gemstone quality. These will be highly expensive. It has only been considered a popular stone for jewelry since about 1940. before, this was found in silver mines and discarded.

Historical Significance of Rhodochrosite

The name comes from the Greek word ‘rhodochrosis’ meaning – pink colored. This gemstone is found in the United States as well, and the Native Americans used to use this stone as a symbol of love. The Incan culture used to call this stone the “Inca Rose.”

Rhodochrosite is a stone of pure open-hearted love for oneself and all others. It is ultimate stone of compassion and unconditional love. This gemstone helps to develop and deepen relationships and see the best in people. It may help to attract soul mates, but it may not be a “forever soul mate” as it brings forth people meant to teach us valuable lessons.

The Rhodochrosite spiritual properties are best known for its ability to help develop self-love and reduce self-criticism. It encourages us to love and accept ourselves as we are. Of course we want to grow, develop, and become our Highest Self, but this stone reminds us that our “work in progress” self is not flawed or insufficient in any way. We are exactly who we are meant to be at this moment.

This loving stone helps to a person to heal from trauma, particularly sexual abuse. It helps one to process and recover from emotional wounds without self-blame. This is a stone of the truth and will force us to look at anything we are repressing in life. Rhodochrosite is an excellent stone to wear in therapy as it helps you to truly examine your issues in an open-hearted, loving manner. This stone helps us move forward to our Highest Good, but it requires that we acknowledge and process that which is holding us back.

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.

I am ready to Receive and Grow.” Alternately, hold a Clear Quartz mala and chant this mantra 108 times.
