Gorgeous Citrine Geode Clusters

 Getting it’s name from the Latin ‘caelestis’, meaning “heavenly”; an allusion to its color, celestite or celstine is a very popular mineral because of its typical sky blue or ‘celestial’ color. Often forming beautiful transparent light to medium-blue tabular crystals, celestite can be colorless, white, light red, green, blue, or brown. It is often found in colorful combinations with minerals such as yellow sulphur. Although celestite can look similar to barite, it is actually strontium sulphate, and has long been used as a source of strontium for fireworks, glazes and metal alloys.

It forms in sedimentary rock such as limestones, dolomites, and sandstones. It can also be derived directly from sea water and commonly occurs in evaporate deposits as a minor constituent; occasionally it forms in hydrothermal deposits. The crystals take a wide variety of forms but are typically tablet, prism, or plate shaped. It can also form crusts, nodules, grains and masses. Celestite may also be found in the cavities of fossils. It is known to form, for example, in fossilized ammonites. It can be found in Madagascar, Mexico, Italy, Canada, England, and the US; lesser known specimens have been found in England, Slovakia, Austria, and Germany.

In ancient Greece it was believed that the stone only worked if it had been given to its owner by a friend or relative. It would then protect the body from all kinds of evil. The ancient Romans were also familiar with the healing properties of celestite, its calming, fortifying influence on the mind and its ability to drive evil out of a person. The stone encourages the healing of wounds and is said to be effective in alleviating pain caused by tension, anxiety and in solving problems with insomnia. It is connected to both Capricorn and Gemini star signs.

Celestite is revered for its high frequency and Divine energies, and is known as a powerful healing crystal. Celestite has been called “Heaven’s Stone or Angelic Stone” as it will connect one with the Angelic realms, allowing for the free-flow of these higher frequencies into the Crown and Third-Eye Chakras, and also down into the Throat Chakra for expression. Celestite is also known to bring mental calm and clarity in the midst of any chaotic circumstance.

Using celestite with sincere prayer or meditation one can channel angelic wisdom and communications. Celestite is a great tool for meditation on any subject, bringing in perfect angelic universal energy to the effort. It helps block out distracting "noise" and focus on other planes of existence. From its synergistic energies of the crown and throat chakras, celestite brings balance to thought processes and communication.




Celestite brings a number of positive energies to the emotional realm. It can lend its essence to reduce and eliminate worry, fear and anxiety and bring hope. It is also an excellent tool for emotional protection. In these ways it decreases negativity and negative energy in one's emotional body and life.

The Ancient Lore of Bloodstone

In the ancient world, Bloodstone (Heliotrope) was considered to be the most beautiful of the Jaspers, a deep, earthy green gem emboldened with spots of bright red. Called the Sun Stone, and later Christ’s Stone, its energy carries the purity of blood and inherently speaks of life and birth, vitality and strength, passion and courage. As a talisman it is both mystical and magical, and its virtues are protective and nurturing.

Metaphysical Lore:
There is a legend that says the bloodstone was formed from the blood of Christ dripping on the green earth and solidifying. It was also called heliotrope by the Greeks and was thought to bring change. The bloodstone has been used as an amulet to protect against the evil eye. Bloodstone is the symbol of justice.

Bloodstone is excellent for centering and grounding. It is said to help with calming, particularly in survival situations. It brings mystical energies of increasing adaptability and organization, and lessening confusion, stress, and anxiety. It is said to be a stone of courage, bringing mental, physical and emotional renewal by releasing blockages. It is said to be particularly good for helping emotional traumas and grief. It also enhances the intellect. Bloodstone is mystically used to bring energy to one in many ways, including bringing abundance, success, and prosperity.

Just a bit of Selenite

Selenite is a variety of gypsum, which is readily cleaved into natural wands, sticks or sheets. It is a very soft stone which can be easily scratched with a fingernail. The name selenite comes from the Greek word Selene, meaning moon. It has been used for window panes, metaphysical tools, carved into shapes such as spheres and hearts. Some of the best, clearest and cleanest selenite comes from the Moroccan deserts.

Metaphysical Lore:
Selenite is one of the more powerful healing stones for the new age and spiritual work. It is excellent for meditation, and ensures a peaceful environment when stones are placed around the home. They are remarkably peaceful, carrying a very high vibration, and instill clarity of mind and a deep sense of inner peace. Selenite will assist you in opening your crown chakra and it can even assist you in contacting your Spiritual Guides and Angels. Selenite is also used to cleanse and clear other crystals and negative energies. You will never need to cleanse or recharge your Selenite crystal, as you need to do with many metaphysical stones; it is said that it does not retain the negative energy it clears but sends it out.

Pink Hues of Rose Quartz

Rose quartz, a variety of quartz that ranges from pale pink to deep rose, and sometimes even to an amethyst hue. Generally, rose quartz is massive in form and is rarely found as crystals. It is sometimes used as a semiprecious stone, and takes an impressive polish. Chemically, rose quartz is silicon dioxide. It has a Moh’s hardness of 7, and is in the trigonal crystal system. Rose quartz occurs worldwide; in the western hemisphere it occurs in Brazil, Uruguay, Ontario, Mexico, Main, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Colorado.

It emits a calming, cooling energy which can work on all of the chakras to gently remove negativity and to reinstate the loving, gentle forces of self-love. It can be used for spiritual attunement to the energy of love. It also provides a balancing of yin-yang energy and can attune each chakra to, and provide each chakra with, the proper frequency of energy vibration. Traditional properties of rose quartz include love, peace, happiness, gentleness, and healing emotional wounds.

Hues of Golden, Bright Yellow....Citrine

Golden Yellow and bright like the Sun, it is Citrine a most beautiful gemstone.

The name Citrine is derived from the Latin word Citrus, meaning “lemon”. Until the Middle Ages this name was used to designate a wide range of yellow stones. Citrine has been highly regarded as a gemstone and healing stone for almost six thousand years. The soldiers in Caesar’s legions wore citrine on their chest because the stone was believed to have life-saving properties in battle. 

As befits its color, it is recognized as the stone of light, sun and life. (Did you know…..that amethyst and smoky quartz can be heated to artificially create citrine?) Some traditional properties of Citrine include intuition, comfort, protection, creativity, physical energy, wealth, and mental awakening.

Citrine is yellow to brownish quartz (silicon dioxide) and resembles yellow topaz. It is colorless by hydrous iron oxide, and is found in the same hexagonal crystals as the other varieties of crystalline quartz. Natural citrine is much less common than amethyst or smoky quartz, both of which can be heat treated to turn their color to that of citrine.

Citrine occurs principally in localities that produce amethyst, and it is sometimes found as a zone of citrine in amethyst, when it is known as ametrine (found in Bolivia). Gem-quality citrine is found in a few places around the world such as on the Isle of Arran, Scotland; in the Ural Mountains of Russia; near Hyderabad, India; in Dauphine, France; and quite frequently in Minas Gerais, Brazil.

These are the latest citrine cathedrals, churches and slabs we now have back in stock and available at the warehouse! Look for some of the slabs to be listed on the Etsy website in coming weeks.
