ANGELITE – HOLIDAY STRESS

 Our main focus for today, due to the holiday season, is the assistance to maintain calm and to be at ease.  Angelite is a good choice.  Other alternatives are Celestite, Blue Lace Agate, Tourmaline (most of the black grounding stones), Fluorite and the list goes on. 

Angelite assists in our feelings of peace and tranquility.  It is a stone of compassion which is also helpful during this time of year.  Angelite is also a good choice when working with anger and fear issues.

As a side note, Angelite is a higher vibration crystal and is a perfect stone for use in meditation, work with akashic records, visualization and telepathy, astral travel, etc. It has a connection with our spirit guides and our higher self; thus the name (angelic communications). It enhances our psychic and astrological connections as well.  We can certain forget to focus on self during this busy season.

Angelite is associated with the throat, third eye and crown chakras. 

Angelite is a blue/grey variety of Anhydrite which was discovered in Peru in the 1980’s. Angelite has a hardness of 3 to 3.5 which makes it popular for carving.

Do not ingest Angelite.
