<p>Ayurveda Gems and the Myth behind them<br/> <br/> Jyotish is the Vedic astrological system, of which Ayurveda was once a part. This astrological system notes that gems are related to the various planets and produce a balancing effect to counter specific diseases. It is a primary method of a Jyotish astrologer's therapeutic measures to heal physical, mental, and spiritual situations, based on one's astrology chart indicators. It is known that planets produce effects on humans. For example, the full moon not only causes high tides, but also affects the emotions of some people. The gemstones were studied and used to neutralize these effects.<br/> <br/> Energy Waves<br/> <br/> The ancient Ayurvedic researchers studied healing properties of gems, and found that different stones created different effects in the human body. The planets were seen to have corresponding colors. The color or vibration of the gems affects the human body. They absorb and reflect (like a filter) the planetary rays or vibrations. Thus, gems relate to specific energy waves. It was found that the gems associated with each planet have varying wavelengths.<br/> <br/> The planetary vibrations are negative, while the radiation of the stones is positive. When the positive and negative vibrations are combined, they are neutralized. Just as an umbrella or sunscreen protects one from the sun, so gems protect one from the influence of the planets.<br/> <br/> Healing Powers<br/> <br/> In ancient Vedic texts, like the Brihat Samhita, the origin and healing powers of various gems are discussed. Persons may use substitute stones instead of the more expensive gems. Red garnet can replace ruby; moonstone can replace pearl; jade, peridot, or green tourmaline can replace emerald; and yellow topaz or citrine can replace yellow sapphire.<br/> <br/> Jyotish suggests wearing gems, and ingesting them internally (after a long heating process to make them safe), or as gem tinctures. Stones worn as rings and pendants are mounted so as to touch the skin. Pendants should touch the heart or throat chakras, and rings with different gemstones should be worn on various fingers, as the elements dictate.<br/> <br/> Gem Tinctures<br/> <br/> Gem tinctures are prepared like herb tinctures. Gems are soaked for some time in a 50%-100% alcohol solution. Diamonds or sapphires (hard gems) are soaked from one full moon to the next full moon (one month). Opaque stones pearls, coral (soft stones) are soaked for shorter time periods or in weaker solutions.<br/> <br/> Special Ayurvedic preparations exist in which gems are burnt into ash. This removes their harmful effects, enabling them to be ingested. Traditionally, gems were crushed and/or burnt in long processes to make ash. Sometimes they are taken alone, sometimes they are mixed with herbs. Gem ash (bhasma) is more costly than herbs, but healing is quicker. Currently, they are not imported into the United States due to the lack of understanding of their safety.<br/> <br/> 5 Fingers, 5 Elements<br/> <br/> Each finger is related to one of the five elements. The pinky is Earth, the ring finger is Water, the middle finger is Air, the index finger is Ether, and the thumb is Fire. The planets correspond to this system as well: Mercury Earth, the sun or Moon Water, Saturn Air, Jupiter Ether. No specific planet rules Fire. Precious gems are worn as rings in 2-carat (minimum) and 5-carat pendants. Substitute stones are worn as rings in 4-carat (minimum) and 7-carat pendants. Determinations of planetary therapies are made differently than in Western Astrology.<br/> <br/> The Garuda Purana, an ancient Vedic text, includes a discussion of the science of gemology. This mythologicaly-based story may have semantic parallels in modern scientific terminology, just as the seven deities of the sun are analogous to the seven colors of the spectrum (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet) in Vedic Astrology. Thus, it is hoped that interested readers will seek out the parallels between these Vedic descriptions and modern science, rather than doubt its authenticity merely because of the use of words like "gods" and "demons".<br/> <br/> The Legend of Vala<br/> <br/> Once, a very powerful demon, Vala, caused trouble for all the gods in the universe. After much hardship the gods developed a plan to capture Vala and kill him. Once dead, Vala was cut into pieces. His limbs were transformed into the seeds of precious gems. All the creatures of the universe rushed to gather the gem seeds. In the clamor some of the gem seeds fell to earth, dropping into rivers, oceans, forests, and mountains. There they developed into mother lodes.<br/> <br/> Vala's blood became ruby seeds and fell over India, Burma, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nepal, Tibet, Sri Lanka, and ancient Siam. His teeth became pearl seeds that spread throughout the oceans of Sri Lanka, Bengal, Persia, Indonesia, and other bodies of water in the southern hemisphere. The skin of Vala became yellow sapphire seeds, plummeting mainly to the Himalayas. Vala's fingernails became hessonite garnet seeds that fell into lotus ponds of Sri Lanka, India, and Burma. His bile became emerald seeds and fell into the mountain ranges of modern day South Africa, South America, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.<br/> <br/> Vala's bones became diamond seeds. His war cry became the cat's-eye gem seeds. Blue sapphire seeds were transformed from Vala's eyes. Coral seed was transformed from his intestines. Vala's toenails became red garnet seeds. His body fat became jade seeds. Quartz crystal seeds were transformed from his semen. Vala'a complexion was transformed into bloodstone coral seeds.<br/> <br/> In ancient Vedic texts, like the Brihat Samhita, the origin and healing powers of various gems are discussed. Persons may use substitute stones instead of the more expensive gems. Red garnet can replace ruby, moonstone can replace pearl, jade, peridot, or green tourmaline can replace emerald, and yellow topaz or citrine can replace yellow sapphire.<br/> <br/> Why not take a look at the properties of other gem stones with the Gem Stone Guide<br/> <br/> Source:whisperingworlds<span><img src="https://www.facebook.com/email_open_log_pic.php?mid=94e1b7cG24f828feGbf66a62G96" style="border: 0; width: 1px; height: 1px;"/></span></p> Stone, Crystal, Metal Substitutions ☽○☾ by The Old Crones Cornertag:travelingwithintheworld.ning.com,2014-01-23:2185477:Topic:1959882014-01-23T19:44:39.187ZDept of PMM Artists & thingshttp://travelingwithintheworld.ning.com/profile/Artistsandthings

<p><br/> Twilight heralds Witches' dawn<br/> For 'neath the Moon and silver stars<br/> Far below the frozen earth<br/> Crystals await to be reborn.<br/> Witches gather through the night<br/> By river rock and crystal cave<br/> Sky-clad in the misty gloom<br/> Stone goddesses in spirit flight.<br/> <br/> Crystals and gemstones are powerful familiars no practitioner of the <br/> Craft<br/> should be without. A familiar is an ally, totem, helper, or guardian <br/> spirit,<br/> one honored for the empowerment and protection it can provide. Stones<br/> function as familiar spirits in much the same way as the plant and <br/> animal<br/> helpmates we hear so much about. They can bring us the questions we <br/> need to<br/> ask ourselves, and the answers that we seek. Stones in particular give <br/> us a<br/> sense of cosmic security in a rapidly changing world because they <br/> represent<br/> a solid, living, indestructible, and absolute reality. Indeed, crystals <br/> and<br/> gemstones are very much alive, and can assist us in our magical work <br/> should<br/> ever the need arise.<br/> <br/> The shamanic belief that stones are alive is widely accepted among <br/> Pagan<br/> tribal groups the world over, including Native American, Siberian, and<br/> African cultures. The Pagan religions of the Norse, Celts, and Greeks <br/> were<br/> also deeply rooted in shamanism, making it the spiritual root of <br/> Western<br/> culture. Consequently, shamanism may also be at the core of modern day<br/> Wicca. Shamans see nature as the true church, and universal energy as<br/> spirits, angels, devas, and gods, just as Witches do. The spirit <br/> energies<br/> embodied in the shamanic world view live in the center of the universe <br/> on<br/> the World Tree, an ancient mythological symbol for all creation and our<br/> relationship to it. In some cultures, the World Tree is represented by <br/> a<br/> mound of earth, formed by lumps of clay, or it is shaped into a <br/> cylindrical<br/> stone.<br/> <br/> Precious gems and minerals are born from strata, rock, clay, and dirt,<br/> following gestation in the belly of the earth. This process demands a <br/> host,<br/> and long ago this meant feeding the earth with blood to promote <br/> fecundity<br/> and growth so that the crops would ripen for the harvest. Thus, in <br/> ancient<br/> Europe, the best horse in the countryside was sacrificed to ensure good<br/> crops and the well-being of the people. Similarly, European shamans <br/> would<br/> pour blood onto the earth to call upon the spirits of the dead, or feed<br/> their magic crystal familiars the blood of an animal throughout the <br/> year as<br/> a way of propitiating the spirits that dwelled in the stones. The <br/> spirits of<br/> the stone kingdom are earth elementals, typically known as elves, <br/> gnomes,<br/> and dwarves. These mischievous earth sprites can be a source of minor<br/> irritation, or they can bring up feeling of doubt, insecurity, lust, or<br/> greed. They can also be a source of power for the practicing Witch.<br/> <br/> Each stone spirit has a particular purpose to fulfill, which may or may <br/> not<br/> be in synchronistic harmony with one's magical operation, personality, <br/> or<br/> chosen destiny. Therefore, a sensitive, ecology-conscious Witch does <br/> not<br/> bind a stone spirit for his or her use by way of enchantment. Crystals <br/> and<br/> gemstones, especially one that is your personal familiar or one to be <br/> used<br/> for a specific magical purpose, should actually choose you! Never<br/> underestimate how this may come about. Your stone spirit helpers may <br/> fall<br/> from the blue, clear sky and land at your feet, someone may give you a<br/> stone, or you may already have several special stones in your <br/> possession.<br/> One in particular may have unusual powers, granting you the ability to <br/> heal<br/> or see into the future. This may be any type of stone at all, even one <br/> that<br/> is very plain or ugly, though most likely it will be transparent, and<br/> contain some kind of distinguishing mark or picture inside or out.<br/> <br/> You may work with your stone familiars much as Witches have done for<br/> hundreds of years.<br/> <br/> SCRYING<br/> Scrying or crystal gazing is an art of the Craft that has survived the <br/> test<br/> of time. This predictive process allows intuition to run free. <br/> Therefore,<br/> the first requirement for the novice scryer is to keep an open mind <br/> that can<br/> receive spirit signals coming in from the<br/> ethers. A stone familiar provides the central point of focus. One <br/> common<br/> method of scrying uses dim light and concentration on the question at <br/> hand.<br/> Questions are asked of the spirits and the answers read as they appear <br/> in<br/> the stone. Usually a clear vision comes to<br/> the scryer immediately.<br/> <br/> Scrying may include the use of jewels, beryl, crystal balls, and <br/> stone-hewn<br/> mirrors. Beryl spheres or eggs were used for divination during the<br/> renaissance. They increase psychic awareness, help you form a deep<br/> connecting link with nature, enhance prophetic vision,<br/> and enable you to converse with water spirits. The beryl family <br/> includes<br/> emerald, aquamarine, golden beryl, heliodor, morganite, and goshenite<br/> crystals. Quartz crystal balls are very popular among Witches, <br/> magicians,<br/> and occultists, and have been treasured for their magical and healing<br/> properties since the beginning of time as we know it. Obsidian balls <br/> and<br/> mirrors are used as divination tools by the brujas, or Witches, of <br/> Mexico<br/> and South America. They can help you make decisions, repel negativity, <br/> and<br/> ground you when you are feeling off-center.<br/> <br/> AMULETS AND TALISMANS<br/> Amulets and talismans are magical mascots or lucky charms, little <br/> tricks of<br/> the Craft trade often carried by Witches to grant special powers, warn <br/> of<br/> coming danger, or give protection. Jacinth, chrysolite, and pearl are <br/> used<br/> in the Middle East to attract and<br/> maintain wealth, while blood agate was worn in ancient Rome to guard <br/> against<br/> insect bites, heal and purify the blood, and to relieve anxiety. You <br/> may<br/> choose among a great variety of crystals and gemstones to serve as an<br/> amulet. Try opal for balance, malachite for<br/> happiness and protection, quartz for healing, bloodstone for <br/> prosperity,<br/> carnelian for sexual energy, or chrysoprase for tranquility. Carry your<br/> stone amulet in a medicine bag or pouch, or wear these stones in <br/> jewelry to<br/> ward off the proverbial "bad hair day."<br/> <br/> WATCHER STONES<br/> Watcher stones are elemental guardians also known as old ones. <br/> Stonehenge<br/> and Avesbury in England are representative of these ancient rock <br/> sentinels.<br/> Stones that serve this purpose work via the principle of proximity. <br/> Place<br/> them strategically in areas that you frequent, such as the kitchen, <br/> bedroom,<br/> office, or car. Put them in the four corners of your house -- east, <br/> west,<br/> north, and south. You can also bury stone watchers under the ground to <br/> form<br/> a protective circle around your property. River rocks, lava rocks, and<br/> halite crystals (solidified salt, often used by Witches to ground, <br/> protect,<br/> or block negative energies) tend to keep a sharp eye on things around <br/> the<br/> home front.<br/> <br/> BLESSING YOUR STONES<br/> There are a few things you can do to ensure that your stone familiars <br/> will<br/> blessed be.<br/> <br/> First, ascertain that the stones in your possession are your personal<br/> familiars. Sit quietly for a time with each stone in question. Roll the<br/> stone around in the palm of your dominant hand. Ask it to tell you its<br/> purpose, and listen for a response. The answer may come to you through<br/> sight, sound, touch, taste, smell, feeling, or instinct. Expect the<br/> unexpected. If you get "good vibes," thank the stone, then work with it<br/> accordingly.<br/> Clear the stone by placing it in sea-salted water, or by burying it in <br/> the<br/> earth overnight. You may also smudge clear the stone. This is done by<br/> lighting herbs such as sage, cedar, sweetgrass, or copal (a tree <br/> resin), and<br/> holding the stone in the smoke.<br/> <br/> Be sure to feed your stone familiars on each and every sabbath. <br/> Cornmeal,<br/> wheat grains, tobacco, or rum are choice offerings. Just sprinkle some <br/> over<br/> the stones, or place the stones along with your offering overnight in a<br/> crystal or earthenware bowl</p> Ayurveda Healing Gem Stonestag:travelingwithintheworld.ning.com,2014-01-19:2185477:Topic:1956322014-01-19T19:07:56.991ZDept of PMM Artists & thingshttp://travelingwithintheworld.ning.com/profile/Artistsandthings

<p>Ayurveda Healing Gem Stones<br/> <br/> Red Coral<br/> <br/> Vidruma<br/> Vidruma or coral is an organic gem that comes from reefs and atolls. The most valued coral is the noble red coral seen here (Corallicum rubrum). The color is uniform throughout with no pits or color streaks. Polished coral has a vitreous lustre. Due to pollution, coral is an endangered species<br/> <br/> Vidruma or coral influences Mangal or Mars which is responible for the field of activity, energy, courage, ambition, sports, property, strength, commander, technical ability, mechanical, forcefulness and bravery. In Jyotish, Mangal is known as the commander-in-chief, due to its influence in organizing and managing direction in activity. Mangal or Mars is like a general with its focus on precision and power in activity<br/> <br/> Mangal physiolgy is associated with the Red Nucleus, Pars Compacta, and Amygdala. These structures in the brain control activity by providing checks and balances, activating and inhibiting impulses in the brain, and maintaining steadiness and precision of movement. These influences can be strengthened with the wearing of Vidruma or coral when recommended<br/> <br/> Ruby<br/> <br/> Manikya<br/> Manikya or ruby, the rarest of gemstones, is a red sapphire and often regarded as the king of gems Rubies vary in color and brighten in strong light. Some rubies are pinkish red or violet/purplish red in color, with different colors and shades of color often found in the same stone.<br/> <br/> Manikya or ruby balances Surya (sun). Surya represents the king of the solar system in Jyotish. It also represents authority, power, Self, father, body and health. Depending on the placement of Surya in your birth chart, the wearing of a ruby may be very auspicious in strengthening the positive influences of Surya<br/> <br/> Surya, the sun acts like the thalamus in the human physiology. The sun is the central focal point in the solar system as is the thalamus in our body. All activity in the solar system revolves around the sun. In our physiology, all activity is controlled and ordered by the thalamus. Enlivening the positive influences of Surya strenghens the physiology and strengthens the qualities of Surya in our daily life<br/> <br/> Pearl<br/> <br/> Mukta<br/> Mukta or pearl is the most valued of the organic gems. A pearl is a very special and exclusive gift of nature considered universally as the oldest known gem. The most valued come from the ocean and have a visible lustre or sheen with the most common being white or cream with a rose overtone<br/> <br/> Mukta or pearl represents the queen in Jyotish. The pearl is often called the queen of the sea. The pearl harmonizes Chandra, the moon which directly influences emotions, mind, affluence, and public. Wearing a pearl can bring harmony and stability to these influences. Chandra influences the seasonal, monthly and daily cycles and rhythms in the physiology and our emotions<br/> <br/> Chandra, the moon, occupies a central role in the solar system and in our physiology. This influence is represented by the hypothalmus in our physiology which controls our behavior, our emotions, our hormonal and reproductive cycles and our body temperature. It nourishes the physiology like a mother or queen and occupies a central place in the centre of the brain with the thalmus<br/> <br/> Emerald<br/> <br/> Marakata<br/> Marakata or emeralds are known by their distinctive green color and can vary from light to dark green. All emeralds contain inclusions formed during their growth. Inclusions indicate the stone is natural. The most common cut is the step or emerald cut<br/> <br/> Marakata or emerald harmonizes and strengthens the positive influences of Budha or mercury. These influences include intelligence, education, speech, teaching, learning, communication, confidence, writing, drawing, trade, humour, wit, discrimination, diplomacy. intellect and commerce. Budha or Mercury is the prince in Jyotish and is influenced by Surya and Chandra<br/> <br/> Budha or Mercury in the human physiology is associated with the sub-thalamic nucleus which resides in the brain and receives input from various parts of the brain which directly influences its activity. Similar to the placement of Budha or Mercury which revolves around Surya (Sun) and is directly influenced by that relationship, the sub-thalamic nucleus activity is influenced by the input it receives and modulates its output accordingly<br/> <br/> Yellow Sapphire<br/> <br/> Pushparaga<br/> Pushparaga or yellow sapphire is a lesser known gem in todays market. Known as Oriental topaz until the mid-1800s Colors vary from light yellow to golden and honey yellow. They have considerable lustre, come in a variety of cuts and are increasing in market value<br/> <br/> Pushparaga or yellow sapphire harmonizes and benefits Guru or Jupiter, the largest graha (planet) in the solar system. It signifies knowledge, wisdom, virtue, fortune, justice, education, future, religion, philosophy, devotion, children, distant travel, spirituality, truthfulness, prosperity and charity. Guru is the major instructor or teacher and influences action with the highest order and balance. Guru guides action in the most harmonious and uplifting manner and balances inner and outer input while simultaneously performing and monitoring action<br/> <br/> Guru or jupiters influence in the human physiology is through the globus pallidus. This globular structure is like a teacher in the physiology. It gives balanced and higher-order instructions, balances and maintains harmony between inner and outer input, manages and executes complex systems and enlivens activity in the brain while guiding action. It signifies highest-order thinking -- Knowledge has organizing power<br/> <br/> Diamond<br/> <br/> Vajra<br/> Vajra or diamonds adamantine lustre gives a beautiful fire or sparkle to the stone. Value is determined by a grading system that rates color, clarity and weight with lesser value given to cut proportions and surface finish<br/> <br/> Sukra or Venus is harmonized by diamond. Sukra represents luxuries, romance, partnership wealth, beauty, arts, comforts, jewelry, happiness, and vehicles. Diamonds are also associated with luxuries, jewelry, wealth, beauty etc. Sukra or Venus has since antiquity symbollized beauty, not just in material life but inner life as well. Diamonds high lustre symbolizes the refined liveliness and loveliness of nature within and around us<br/> <br/> Sukra or Venus in the human physiology corresponds to the activity of the pars reticulata. This structure in the physiology refines and controls action in the limbic system related to instincts, feelings and emotions etc. This action is associated with those impulses in the physiology that correspond to the qualities of life influenced most strongly by Sukra<br/> <br/> Blue Sapphire<br/> <br/> Indraneela<br/> Indraneela or blue sapphire is known for its striking lustre and color which range from light to very dark blue. Blue sapphires may be given a variety of cuts; the most common being the oval cut. Blue sapphires are one of the most highly prized of the corundum species<br/> <br/> Sani or Saturn represents longevity, discipline, authority, ambition, leadership, honesty, perfection, humility, elders, denial, delays, misery, adversity,accidents, conservatism and dutifulness. Its role is often symbolized as a servant. Its influence is often seen as restrictive or obstructive yet its influence also seeks to bring balance. Its influences may be harmonized by the blue sapphire. Sani is furthest from the Sun<br/> <br/> Sani or Saturn in the human physiology is expressed through the activities of the putamen. The putamen, like Sani in the solar system, is placed at the outer edge of the basal ganglia. Its influence, like Sani, is that of a servant. It receives major input and instructions that it transmits to the basal ganglia<br/> <br/> Hessonite<br/> <br/> Gomedhaka<br/> Gomedhaka or Hessonite is a variety of grossular garnet. It has good lustre and looks transparent. The color is brownish-orange and is often called cinnamon stone. These gems are often given step or mixed cuts. Hessonite garnets are found especially in Sri Lanka<br/> <br/> Gomedhaka or Hessonite Garnet represents Rahu, the ascending node of the moon. Its natural significations include worldly desires, worldly benefits, laziness, gratification, and ignorance. It is by nature unpredictable and creates sudden changes and influences, rigidity and passion. It is similar to Sani or Saturn in its nature and influence<br/> <br/> Traditionally, rahu is known as the head of the dragon. In the human physiology, rahu corresponds to the head of the caudate. The caudate is involved in the control of the saccadic eye movements (the abrupt short shifts of focus in the eyes). The caudate influences memory in relation to orientation in space. The caudate is responsible for our ability to change behavior patterns<br/> <br/> Tigers Eye<br/> <br/> Vaidurya<br/> Vaidurya or Tigers Eye is the name given to the variety of chrysoberyl which beautifully displays the phenomenon of chatoyancy. The numerous inclusions line up to form very fine, parallel crystal needles. Cats eyes are always cut in cabachons to emphasize the eye effect<br/> <br/> Vaidurya or Cats Eye harmonizes Ketu which is traditionally known as the tail of the dragon. In Jyotish, Ketu is the descending node of Chandra (Moon). Its influences are similar to Mangal or Mars and include liberation, abstract thinking, asceticism, non-attachment, healing, moksha--enlightenment, wisdom and that which is hidden<br/> <br/> Ketus influence in the physiology is represented by the tail of the caudate.

<p>Take a clear quartz crystal and wash it under running water.<br/> Place it in sunlight and moonlight for twenty-four hours to charge its energy.<br/> Hold it against your third eye chakra and visualize the purpose for which you wish to use it.<br/> When you have the purpose fixed firmly in your mind, project it into the crystal.<br/> You may then either give the crystal to the person concerned or place it on your altar, programming it to send energy to them by willing it to do so when you are focusing your energy for the intended purpse.<br/> The crystal will continue to work for its intended purpose until you reprogram it, but you may wish to cleanse it after a few moons.<br/> By:Anna Franklin<br/> <br/> A Few Words About Crystal Healing<br/> <br/> It may need cleansing because the crystal will work as a filter. And just like the filter in my Brita pitcher, there is only so much much it can filter out before it starts to retain too much, and can't filter anything anymore.<br/> So, instead of switching it for a new one (like the Brita thing) we can just cleanse our crystals.<br/> How? The first two lines in this spell are the cleansing process. Simply repeat lines one and two, and then program the crystal according to your new intent (or repeat all of it if you still wish to work healing magick).<br/> Crystals can also be used physically. If the person agrees, have them lay down, light candles and incense, and place the crystal on the chakra closest to their ailment. For example, the Heart chakra if they have a lung issue, etc. Or, if it is on their limbs, the crystals can be placed directly on the arm, leg, hand, or foot.<br/> Crystals can also be selected according to the color of the chakra they are healing. <br/> This will balance and activate the person's chakra so that their energy is more powerful, and so that there are no stuck blockages in the energy paths of their body.<br/> These paths are called Meridians, and they connect and work with the chakras to keep us healthy, both physically and spiritually. Crystals resonate with the energy of the Earth, which is also the energy that courses through our meridians. When we activate the energy of the crystal, we lend its energy to ours, and it is able to transmute that energy into us. To do this physically is the strongest method, because the crystal's energy is working within the aura of the person.<br/> by Cora Soleil</p> Azurite General Gemstone Details by Donna Morgantag:travelingwithintheworld.ning.com,2014-01-12:2185477:Topic:1939862014-01-12T22:56:28.242ZDept of PMM Artists & thingshttp://travelingwithintheworld.ning.com/profile/Artistsandthings

<p><em>ˈchär-o-ite</em></p>
<p><em><strong>Stone of Ultimate </strong></em><strong><em>Transformation</em></strong></p>
<p>Being a fairly ’young’ stone, Charoite has on one hand very little new information being circulated about it. But since it is young, it has also been thoroughly tested by those in the metaphysical field in an attempt to understand it’s power and energy more intimately, in which gives us a great deal more information.</p>
<p>Colors of Charoite can range from a bright lovely lavender, a gentle lilac, a strong violet or a very grounded dark purple. Being new, and a bit unusual looking, with it’s lively colors, Charoite is often mistaken for a synthetic gemstone or a lesser gemstone that has been dyed. In it’s short “life”, it has been mistaken for Sugilite as well as Lepidolite. With a more public understanding and a better knowledge of it’s properties, this stone will be recognized as the incredible gift that it is.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Charoite Scientific Properties</strong></p>
<p><em>Mohs Hardness of 5-6 with a triclinic crystal structure.</em></p>
<p>Charoite is quite an unusual stone of quite rare occurrence, found today in only one location in Russia. Formed from an alteration of limestone within close proximity of an alkali rich nephline syenite intrusion with swirling patterns of black Augite, transparent crystals of microcline feldspar, and/or orange Tinaksite. Although this may seem common to some, it is the pressure and heat with the infusion of those chemicals that are responsible for the ‘ingredients’ to be completely transformed into a brand new mineral ~ Charoite.</p>
<p>Quite similar to the cylinders of a lock falling into place before a treasure can be revealed, Charoite was created with a very unique combination of chemically unique limestone, subjected to a chemically unique liquid intrusion and then exposed to a very unique set of physical conditions, which is likely why it has not be found in any other locations as of yet.</p>
<p>Charoite has been used as an ornamental stone as well as a gemstone. With the swirling patterns of interlocking crystals, the look of charoite is unlike any other gemstone or minerals. It has the appearance of what some call purple marble, but truly it defies proper description. It is likely that this incredible find would have gained much greater popularity over the years if it weren’t for it’s ‘synthetic’ looks. It is akin to finding a black flower, it is simply unnaturally beautiful, defying common sense, and is difficult to explain.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Charoite Mystical Properties</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Most often called The Stone of Transformation, in conjunction with it’s youthful life, Charoite has been linked with all five elements, Water, Earth, Fire, Air, as representing the transformation of one element to the next and how they are intricately intertwined. It has been suggested, due to this belief and it’s brilliant purple color, that it also represents Akasha, or the 5th/Spirit Element, making Charoite one true stone of ultimate transformation.</p>
<p>This “Stone of Transformation” is a soul stone. It stimulates inner vision, spiritual insight, overcomes fear, and assists in coping with incredible change at a spiritual level. Charoite literally encourages vibrational change linking one to a higher level spiritual reality. During the transformation process, this stone transforms negative emotions such as fear and anger into positive energies, thus allowing the release of all that is holding one back from the change that allows forward movement, which is particularly useful in putting things into perspective, and seeing one’s own ‘new possibilities’ even in the most stagnant of situations.</p>
<p>Said to bring enhanced creativity, inspiration and spiritual growth, Charoite allows one to clearly see on many levels, which brings with it heightened self esteem, permitting one to be released from many prior victimizations that may be attached to one’s spirit. As well, this brings with it an ability to recognize and understand any negative vibrations attached to anything in one’s life, hence facilitating the ability to accept others regardless of the spiritual development or actualization they may be experiencing.</p>
<p>It is often said that if one is not completely in tune to manifesting our potential as human beings, that it is likely fear that is in some way impeding that process. This stone enables one to explore the nature of those fears, recognize the areas that one may feel limited, and enable us to connect with Spirit.</p>
<p>Charoite is said to assist in bringing those fears to the surface in a gentle manner, making it easier for one to process the fear by offering a boost of courage and commitment to dissolve the unwanted fear energy. When this is accomplished, one may continue to gain attunement, assisting in the truth that when one door closes another is opened, and the understanding the fact that one is, in fact, exactly where one should be during the very moment.</p>
<p>If one chooses to mediate with Charoite, it is helpful to allow time afterward to contemplate and assimilate what you have learned during your meditation. Additionally, if a Charoite is placed under the pillow while sleeping, and paired with an Amethyst, sleep will be less disturbed, as many of those fears which surface in dreams will be released and removed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Healing Properties of Charoite</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Charoite physically is known to help accelerate healing of all kinds, reenergizing the body when one is exhausted, healing, and integrating dualities and balances of all means.</p>
<p>Assists in regulating blood pressure, heart issues, cramps, eye problems, liver issues – including assistance in the detoxification of the liver due to alcohol related symptoms.</p>
<p>An excellent physical cleanser for the body when used an elixir, as well as bestowing powerful but peaceful dreams, helping to overcome insomnia in the process.</p>

<p>It will also assist one in the actualization of visioning and second-site, known to bestow inner strength, courage, and the appropriate assertiveness when one is working in the psychic realm for rescue work or entity release, building the gifts of clairvoyance and prophecy.</p>
<p>To cleanse this wonderful stone, place under lukewarm running water shortly or within the sound of natural running water for a minimum of an hour, then place in the sun to recharge.</p>
