THE STONES -  I have a friend that likes to say that rocks have the answer to everything.   I may not be completely convinced of that, but there is a lot of wisdom in the stones.  In this set of essays, I am going to delve into the symbology and metaphysics of the stones.  It is important to note that this is based on both research into other's work and my own experience.  Like most guides, use this as a starting point.  Your own instincts and preferences are always your best guide.  This information should not be taken as medical or psychological advice.  If you appreciate my efforts, you can support me by clicking on  By Me a Coffee and leaving me a tip.

Some of the sources I use for information on stones are:
The Book of Stones by Robert Simmons and Naisha Ahsian
The Crystal Bible by Judy Hall
​Internet google searches for the stone
   The sites I usually use are: thecrystalcouncil.com, gia.edu, tinyrituals.com, and thespruce.com.

Wire wrapped fluorite pendant by Manitu Okahas.
Common gem and genius stone
Bring order to chaos
Fluorescence with black light
Clarity, balance, and focus

Fluorite is one of the more common gem stones available.  It is frequently found along side deposits of quartz, calcite, and barite that were formed in hydrothermal veins.  It is a relatively soft cubic crystal with a Mohs hardness of 4.  These calcium fluoride crystals are one of the sources of fluorite for industrial uses.  This beautiful gem comes in a number of colors used in jewelry including purple, clear, green, pink, red, blue, yellow, and black.

Fluorite is considered by some to be the genius stone.  There are a number of ways that this gem is believed to enhance your mental life.  It helps bring clarity of thought and bring order to the chaos in your mind.  It can enhance focus and concentration.  With its clarity and discernment comes the power of choice.

This is a highly spiritual gem with a strong connection to human energy fields and the spiritual realms.  Many find that it expands consciousness.  If you are seeking spiritual or psychic awareness, this may be a stone of enhancement.  It helps to harmonize the mind and spirit.  It can assist in the perception of the energy fields and the ability to shift this energy.

Fluorite tends to be a protective gem.  It tends to absorb negative and difficult energies and emotions.  It is often used to purify the space.  Many people find it helpful to have fluorite near electronic equipment.  It is also used for psychic protection and to clear old energy from the environment.

Fluorite is one of the more interesting gems that I work with.  It is one of the stones that fluoresces under UV or "black" light.  The term fluorescence comes from fluorite.  Not only have I played with my UV light, but during one particularly strong solar storm, I noticed that my fluorite palm stone was glowing.  This rainbow fluorite is quite heady to work with and seems to have the ability to connect to the energy fields.

When the ocean turns to stone
The mermaids give up their treasure
The goddess of light and dark
Voices truth and wisdom in equal measure

Aquamarine is one of the birthstones for March.  This beautiful blue green gem is a beryl, the same family as emerald.  It is beryllium aluminum silicate with a Mohs hardness of 7.5 to 8.  The ocean blue of this gem comes from traces of iron.  The name aquamarine, comes from the Latin for "water of the sea".  Some of the best sources for aquamarine are Brazil, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Australia, Kenya, Madagascar, and the US.

This stone of ancient use was believed to be the treasure of the mermaids, giving protection to sailors.  It is also one of the stones of Merlin, opening the doors of magic and psychic ability.  According to tinyrituals.com , this "mermaid stone is a song from the deep and brings whispers of salt-water fables..."  It truly is a symbol of deep ocean, deep emotions, and deep spirituality and happiness.  

Aquamarine carries the energy of hope, compassion, and calm balance emotions.  It represents the Goddess and the divine feminine.  It honors the deep feminine, both the light and the dark.  This stone connects to deep ocean energy and the cycle of life.  It is a stone of self worth, courage, empowerment.

This magical stone is believed to enhance mental clarity and focus.  It is believed to give the person possessing it wisdom, increased intellect, and access to inner knowledge.  This is a good stone to use if you desire to increase your intuition or clairvoyance.  It can encourage emotional healing and the deep connection to the emotions and the truth found in your heart.  In doing so, it aids in speaking your truth in an honest and healthy way.

If you are feeling challenged, aquamarine can bring hope.  It is a stone of protection that shields from negative energy.  The Greeks believed that it protected sailors from drowning.  Some believed that it protected them from toxins.  It might even help release your negative patterns.

I encourage you to check out this little bit of ocean turned to stone.  Dive into the depths of this beautiful gem and get in touch with your sacred feminine.
