Healing Stones

AMBER: One of the first substances used by man for decoration, ingeniously carved animal forms have been discovered in Norway. These curious objects were worn as amulets and were used to enhance the power of the stone. Amber was also used at a very early period for medicinal purposes. Today Amber is also valued as a healing stone for energy balancing, mental and emotional strength and to calm the nerves. I like to use Amber as a protection stone; it serves as a protective shield against taking on others pain.

Numerology- Amber vibrates to the number 3. Creativity and joy!

Aventurine: Considered to be especially healing of mind and body. Enhances creativity, imagination, independence, prosperity, career success, calmness and balance. It helps us to see alternatives and potentials. Heals emotional pain, fear and imbalance by dissolving blocks in the heart Chakra. Historically also draws out heat of fevers, inflammation, nervous system stress. In your bath water, a soft, soothing stone for general healing. Balances masculine and feminine energies. Creativity, leadership, and fun. Assists one in making the "right" decisions. Protects and helps heal the heart, lungs, and adrenals.

Chrysocolla: A very beautiful bluish green stone. It is thought to heal issues of the emotional body. I have found it to be very feminine in nature, meaning it allows us to explore our feminine side and to rejoice in who we are as women. I also feel it has a special bond to not only us, but also the energies of the Earth. When men are drawn to Chrysocolla it means they are either ready to learn to appreciate this feminine energy or they are ready to make a connection with the Earth. You will see Chrysocolla in Native American Jewelry for the Natives use this stone in their sacred earth-based religion.

Numerology- Chrysocolla vibrates to the number 5. It is about change, independence and freedom.

Citrine: A yellow to golden colored quartz, citrine is sometimes called the "success" stone. Citrine is associated with the solar plexus (third) chakra and the astrological sign Gemini. It is sometimes called the "success" stone because it promotes success and abundance. It also enhances mental clarity, confidence, happiness and will power. Citrine can also alleviate depression and self-doubt, and diminish irrational mood swings because of the mental clarity effect it has. On a physical level, it can aid the digestion, and eliminate nightmares that disturb sleep.

Hematite: A wonderful stone for worry because it helps you to be more grounded (at ease). Hematite is also used for protection of oneself and their home. Carry a small tumbled stone with you when you feel the need for protection from lets say, negative vibes :-) Hematite is great for those office meetings when you feel you may be challenged! Another wonderful use of Hematite is for jet lag. Take with you when traveling, the hematite will provide you with a feeling of being grounded with the earth plane. Therefore, it will help to prevent jet lag.

Numerology- Hematite vibrates to the number 9. The number 9 is about service, beauty, and love on the highest level. Having a deep concern for mankind.

Jasper: has characteristics of helping one be strong and balanced in the social arenas and protects one's social welfare. It is associated with the solar plexus (belly) chakra.

Obsidian: Just as the matter of this stone has come through the volcanic fire that created its present beauty, so can it help people calm their fears and maintain their balance during times of change. Let its journey of rebirth through seeming peril into greater beauty remind you that all changes do pass and it is possible to emerge from them stronger and more vital than before.

Malachite: is a green metallic mineral. Steady pulsing electromagnetic energy. (High copper content). Comes in varying shades of green and is often banded. Promotes purification and healing dreams as well as drawing out negative energy. On the brow stimulates physical and psychic vision and concentration. Releases and draws out pain, inflammation, depression, anger; heals blocks. Powerful healer, absorbs illness directly. Augments loyalty, leadership ability, protection, subconscious wisdom, comfort, balance, peace, sensitivity, emotional maturity, inner clarity, self-understanding, positive transformation and healing. This stone reflects the feelings of these who wear it. For heart and solar plexus centers: Stomach, liver, kidney stones, lungs, immune system, radiation, MS, circulation. Powerful with azurite or chrysocolla for healing: Protects well by powerfully cleaning the auric field, rapidly absorbing undesirable energies, including: computer, TV, and other radiation, etc. Place in the 4 corners of a room to cleanse carpet toxins and gases.
