Fluorite Crystal

Fluorite is a beautiful crystal with a great range of healing properties. There are many uses for fluorite crystal, as its healing powers encompass the physical and spiritual spheres. Fluorite is found in many different colours but most commonly occurs in shades of green and purple with clear bands. Many different colours can be found in the same stone, making it a very attractive crystal for jewellery and carvings.

Fluorite crystal is believed to cleanse and stabilise the aura, while absorbing and neutralising both stress and negative energy. It is associated with clarity and believed to function as a learning aid – it can be used to increase concentration, self-confidence and good decision making. It is said to encourage positivity, balance different energies and improve balance in both an emotion and physical sense. On a physical level, fluorite is believed to boost the immune system and stimulate cell regeneration, particularly for skin, respiratory system and self-healing. It is said to strengthen bones and alleviate nerve-related pain. This means that is can be very useful for the treatment of rheumatism, arthritis, spinal injuries and shingles.

Blue Sky Fluorite Crystal

Blue sky fluorite is a rare variety of fluorite found only in the USA. It has many additional healing properties and affects all the chakras. Blue sky fluorite is said to clear the Throat chakra and support the Heart chakra. Because its primary alignment is with the head, throat and heart chakras, blue sky fluorite has a lightness to it that is ideal for transformational and ascension work. When someone is feeling overwhelmed, confused or depressed, blue sky fluorite is believed to clear away the mental clouds, bringing clarity, inner expansion and a fresh outlook. It is associated with optimism and enlightenment, making it a wonderful crystal for your personal spiritual journey.

Beautiful Amber Jewellery

Amber is a beautiful stone and here at Crystal Age we have recently expanded our selection of fine amber jewellery. We now have a much wider selection of amber pendants and a new range of amber earrings that make wonderful gifts. We also have more different colours of amber, including elegant green amber and gold-flecked varieties. Amber is found in many colours but all the varieties have a richness about them that looks very glamorous. Amber jewellery seems to glow when the light hits it and gives you a wonderful look.

Benefits of Wearing Amber Jewellery

Amber has a unique place in crystal healing because it is not a mineral but an organic substance. As the fossilised resin of extinct trees, amber is very different to other crystals. It was the first precious stone described in human history and has been used as a protective amulet for at least seven thousands years. Amber is believed to bring you good luck, happiness and an optimistic, sunny nature. It is also said to have a powerful healing and cleansing power that can help joint problems, improve wound healing and absorb pain. Amber is aligned with the Solar Plexus chakra and the star signs Aquarius, Taurus and Leo.

Benefits of Wearing Green Amber

Amber is found in many colours, of which green is one of the most attractive. Experts believe that green amber is formed when resin fell onto mineral deposits or volcanic ash. It makes beautiful jewellery and has its own set of healing attributes. Green amber is said to have a bright energy, like new sap rising in Spring. It is said to clear the heart chakra and fill it with love and joy. Green amber is also associated with wealth, fulfilment and empowerment. It is aligned with the same star signs as golden amber but it connects with both the Heart and Solar Plexus chakras.

Moldavite Crystal

There are some crystals that are valued for the way the look, some for their mysterious origin and some for their healing abilities. Moldavite crystal has all three and it is a fascinating stone for anyone interested in crystals and minerals. It is a glassy mineral whose colour resembles the green glass used to make bottles. For this reason it was once called Bouteillenstein by local people who did not know where it came from.

Moldavite was actually formed as the result of a giant meteorite impact approximately 15 million years ago. Most of the meteorite(s) fell over the Vltava River (called the Moldau in German) near the town of Moldauthein in the Czech Republic. The cosmic origin of moldavite crystal was first suggested by F.E. Suess, who realised that the characteristic pitted surface resembled the surface of some meteorites. Suess deduced that moldavite was a special type of meteorite, which he called tektites.

Healing Attributes of Moldavite Crystal

Moldavite has many healing attributes and it has been used as a good luck amulet stone since the Stone Age. It is aligned with a Heart chakra and believed to protect the heart on an emotional and physical level. It is highly vibrational and is said to act as a catalyst for changes in your emotional and spiritual journey through life. Moldavite is often recommended for inner journeys and it is believed to both expand the consciousness and help us to awaken to our highest destiny.

In this post I will highlight two of these stones: vanadinite and phenakite. Both crystals are quite hard to find but have unique properties that make them very useful to crystal healers.

Vanadinite Healing Crystals

Vanadinite vibrant crystal that occurs in a range of deep orangey red colours. It is unusual because although it is strongly aligned to the navel chakra, Swadisthana, it has a very cool, calm energy. Crystals aligned to Swadisthana typically have a warm and passionate energy, so vanadinite offers you a unique combination of Swadisthana energy and cool tranquillity. This cooling energy can be used to heal both the body and spirit. Vanadinite is believed to reduce inflammation and fevers, returning the body to a peaceful state. It can bring peace and inner stillness, while also energising the lower chakras as centres of Prana.

Phenakite Healing Crystals

Phenakite is a beautiful crystal with a pale colour similar to quartz. It is found in many different locations but Russian phenakite is said to be particularly powerful as a healing crystal. Phenakite is aligned with the crown and upper crown chakras and has a very spiritual energy. It is believed to aid with deep meditation and even inner-dimensional travel. Phenakite is also considered very cleansing and purifying for physical, intellectual and ethereal bodies.

Popular Healing Crystals

These stones are two of the most important healing crystals and they have a wide range of healing applications. Any stone can be used for healing but here at CrystalAge.com we have a special range of healing stones to help you get started.
