The Healing and Metaphysical Properties of Prehnite

This is the crystal to heal the healer. ‘From where there was darkness grew light and illumination, peace and calm’. Prehnite is found among the Apophyllite in India. Its pale green colour illuminates from a bed of black rock and powder as it is extracted from the Earth. Prehnite is believed by healers to symbolise the unconditional love necessary to heal another. It offers serenity, dignity and a sense of wholeness. This is a gift first believed to be disclosed by the ‘watchers’ to aid the children of men that they may not perish. Meditating with this stone connects you to the grid of the universe. Its pulse is believed to communicate with the energy of the Archangel Raphael. (Raphael accredited as being the healer of God!). The ‘dreaming’ stone – Prehnite is believed to encourage contact with the higher self by enhancing the visualisation process. It can be used to multiply energies and to enhance our protective fields. It is also believed to enhance the ability to prophesy – by calling on the aid of the divine. Prehnite is excellent in dealing with nightmares and all fears and phobias.

The Healing and Metaphysical Properties of Peridot

Known as the ‘release’ stone, Peridot helps us to allow ourselves to let go of unnecessary burdens or baggage. It teaches us that the guilt that has been making us hold on to something or someone is simply an illusion of our own making. It is believed to be an excellent antitoxin gemstone. It cleans most organs and glands and is a good overall tonic for the body and mind. It reduces stress, accelerates personal growth, stimulates the mind and opens new levels of awareness and opportunity, whilst banishing lethargy and laziness. It lessens the feelings of anger and jealousy and is often used to treat major organs like the heart and lungs. It has been used to aid sufferers of Crohn’s disease. Peridot works at its best on those who have gone through a total cleansing and have learnt to move on. It brings clarity – allowing renewal to take place. The North Star is said to pull the energies of Peridot and, like the Star, one can use the stone to navigate one’s path.

The Healing and Metaphysical Properties of Pearls

Unlike other crystals and minerals that are formed in the earth a beautiful natural pearl is formed in an oyster mollusk. These mollusks are dived for in the turquoise salt waters of places like the Caribbean, Thailand, Australia, Indonesia and Tahiti. Fresh water pearls are found in muscles and usually farmed mostly in China.  There is a lot of superstition around pearls and the value is usually high. Some even refer to them as the tears of  angels.

Pearls are organic. The most prized are the perfect ones in size and colour fetching a fortune and worn by Royalty and celebrities.  However most pearls due to the way they develop building up in layers of concentric circles around perhaps a grain of sand, have very natural and expected irregularities.

From the healing perspective it is these very irregularities that are required for them to be great healing tools.

The healing qualities of pearls are that they are great in calming and balancing the emotions. They cool temper and smooth the nerves. They are great teachers of self awareness and placing boundaries. They teach us that we are all perfect in our own way. And, they teach us that we get better, more beautiful and stronger with age.

After all there is more value to a large white pearl that has grown smooth and shiny with time and tide.
