An Unusal Mineral --- Chrysanthemum Stones


Chrysanthemum Stones, a mineral of 'blooming flowers' is a very popular collectible and specimen. The chrysanthemum stone, long admired and valued in China and Japan for their beauty and rarity, have been attracting collectors and the metaphysical world for the past 30 years. The stone is a natural occurrence in Enshi, Hubei Provicne, China and contains more than ten kinds of trace elements such as selenium, strontium, gold, silver, and bismuth. The Chrysanthemum Stones are considered to be a Permian age (approx. 250 million years).
 As its name implies, it is shaped like a Chrysanthemum flower. These flowers are embedded in a grey limestone, dolomite or porphyry with lath-like minerals of celestite, calcite or feldspar constructing the 'petal' and chert the 'stamen'. Normally the diameter of the flower ranges from 5 to 8 cm with a maximum being 50cm. The 'flowers' are varied in shape with their petals stretching out freely in different directions or attitudes.

Chrysanthemum Stones are a lovely calming stone that is very helpful to aid you to stay centered. The saying 'be fully present' applies to this stone; having a lovely energy that brings joy and child-like happiness to your life. If you have feeling that you have not yet achieved your potential, you may choose to use one of these crystal stones, as it will help you to find within you the courage to live your dream. It is also very supportive of a spiritual pathway, helping you in all stages of spiritual growth. No matter what negative emotions you are in the middle of, it helps you to see the love, the pure love from the Spiritual Heart Chakra, is always the answer.

Visit & shop our online store at our Facebook page for the Chrysanthemum Stones and many other rocks, minerals and fossils!

Unique Amethyst Crystal Healing


Spirit Quartz is also sometimes referred to as Fairy Quartz or Cactus Quartz, and originates from Africa. When it was discovered by the local tribes in Mphumalanga, South Africa, it was hailed immediately for its beauty and distinct and powerful energy. The tribes named it Spirit Quartz because the milky lilac color of the stone was similar to that of mentholated spirits, an alcohol based cleaning agent that is widely used in that area. Some of the stones are a pure white with clear spots, others have inclusions of amethyst in their bodies and take on purple shades that can range in very light color that blend heavily with the clear and white of the quartz to being so dark that the pieces look as those they are mainly amethyst. Typically Spirit Quarts are found in points, wands and clusters and looks similar to Druzy Quartz because of the sparkly, bumpy surface of the stone. Once you see a Spirit Quartz you know there is no mistaking it from any other stone and it becomes a very distinguishable piece in any collection. Spirit Quartz is not terribly hard to come by but can be pricey depending on the piece itself. Currently it is only mined from one location in the world, Magaliesberg, South Africa.
 

Spirit Quartz is a stone that is used heavily in meditation and can help to provide insights into problems with friends, family and loved ones when used in meditation. Spirit Quartz has been used in group healing since it was first found and first used by the tribal healers in Africa. The stone promotes cohesiveness and a willingness to work together so it can be placed in the center of a group who may be working together to deal with difficulties or work out problems, especially one that are related to spiritual and emotional healing. It can be placed in a central place in the home if there are tensions among family members to help bring ease and a willingness to work together. This gives the stone an overall feeling of being a stone of togetherness and harmony and be used effectively for any of those issues.
Spirit Quartz can also be used for dream work, specifically lucid dreaming, as well as for astral projection, and can stimulate physical healing in areas of the body that might be out of harmony with the body as a whole. One way that Spirit Quartz can be used in healing is an amplifier for other stones used in chakra cleansing or balancing. Placing stones on the chakras to balance and align them is a common healing practice, but by including the Spirit Quartz, either at the crown chakra or directly next to another stone on a particularly difficult chakra point, you will find that the areas open up and balance quickly.

Spirit Quartz can work with any other crystal or stone and is a great piece to have as a point in your crystal tool kit as it can help to amplify other stones, can be used to help direct energy in healing work, and can also balance and cleanse other stones when they are placed in Spirit Quartz clusters or on top of flat Spirit Quartz points.
