Sunstone

www.lavender-moon-crystals.co.uk

Sunstone has a range of colours including grey, green, yellow, brown, orange, pink, peach, and red.  Sunstone usually shows brilliant reflections due to inclusions, usually hematite or goethite.  This crystal can be used to both clear and energise the chakras and can also provide for a brightening of the chakras.  It assists in gently removing the blockages which have infiltrated the energy centres.  Sunstone can be used to dissipate fearfulness, alleviate stress and to increase vitality.

It has been used by the Canadian Indians in rituals of the medicine wheel to show to the spirit guides the connection with the golden white healing light of the sun.  In ancient Greece it was thought to represent the sun god, bringing life and abundance to those who wore it.

Sunstone is helpful with chronic sore throats, and has been used to reduce stomach tension and to relieve ulcers.  It can be used in the treatment of cartilage problems suffered by athletes.  It was used by ancients for rheumatism (one sits in the sun surrounded by a circle of sunstone), aching feet and spinal problems.

There are several methods of cleansing crystals:-

• if you live by the sea take the crystal to the sea, cleanse in sea water, by allowing the water to wash over it, and energise in the sun

• smudge the crystal with sage, e.g. sage stick, incense; this method has been used for centuries by native American and native African cultures

• place the crystal on a large crystal cluster or on another mineral, which is a specific energizer, for 12-24 hours. An amethyst bed is or carnelian is a good energizer

• Cleans the crystal in flowing river, or tap water and energize in the sun.  Water is the universal cleanser and is effective in cleansing undesirable energies from all physical forms

• Vibrational essences of rose, honeysuckle, essential oils, or specialised essences sprayed on to the crystals are a good cleanser.  The essence strips away negativity and cleanses the sone while the purity and energy of the flower is transmitted to the stone

Snowflake obsidian is a black obsidian with inclusions of a white mineral called phenocryst, whose structure within the obsidian, when polished, resembles a snowflake.  It allows one to recognize the unnecessary patterns which remain in ones life and to redesign ones thought patterns to provide relief from undesired conditions.

Snowflake is a stone of purity, bringing both purity and balance to the body, mind, and spirit.  It can be used in the treatment of disorders of the veins and the skeletal structure.  It can also be used to smooth the skin, using an elixir, and to clear the eyes.
