Hello to all of you lovely people!
We are going to go over two different types of crystals this week. Black Tourmaline, and because we have just come out of Mercury Retrograde this week, Celestite as well.
We will start with Black Tourmaline. The picture you see here is Black Tourmaline combined with a clear quartz crystal. Generally, if you are looking them up and finding them for sale in shops and online you will most likely see an all-black crystal.
Black Tourmaline protects from electromagnetic energy, negative energy, and psychic attacks. It helps to cleanse and purify. It can also transform dense energy into higher, lighter vibrations. This makes Black Tourmaline wonderful for cleansing your aura. It also helps to release negative thoughts, anger, and unworthiness while assisting in enhancing positive thinking and creativity. It can assist in grounding your spiritual energy to the Earth and help with clearing and balancing all of the chakras, but especially your base chakra.
To start working with Black Tourmaline remember to clear the energy from your crystal, ask for its assistance. Then, set an intention you would like to be assisted with. Remember this is a crystal that can be used in all areas of the body. If you like you can amplify its properties by using a clear quartz crystal with it as well.
This piece of Black Tourmaline is combined with crystal quartz and was found here in Maine!
If you would like more information about the crystals we present here, please do! You can also use books like “The Crystal Bible, A Definitive Guide to Crystals” by Judy Hall, she actually has three books full of information. We find these books invaluable.
This second crystal is called Celestite. Celestite is a blue crystal with high vibration, it is usually found in clusters or in a geode form.
This crystal is wonderful to use after coming out of Mercury Retrograde. You just spent a couple of weeks working directly with letting go of things that are not working for you, and now you are moving on to finding new paths, thoughts, experiences, etc… Celestite has several attributes that will be especially helpful during this time. Celestite helps to calm and sharpen the mind. It has a sweet and gentle energy that assists in inner peace and is also strong in assisting us to be open to new opportunities and experiences. It helps sharpen the mind while helping us stay calm and alleviates worry. It brings great assistance when planning new paths forward.
Celestite is also known to have strong metaphysical properties and will help you develop gifts that include connecting with your guardian angels, purifying and cleansing energy in a room, and even psychic prophecy or precognition.
Celeste works well with your throat chakra, and third eye and can make a direct connection from your third eye to your crown chakra. This can help facilitate higher spiritual awareness.
Also, with this crystal, we need to mention a couple of things about the care of your crystals. First, some crystals need to be kept out of direct sunlight or they fade, Celestite is one of these crystals. Second, there are many stones that you cannot get wet or they will start to dissolve, many of them end with “ite.” Celestite is one of these stones as well, so when clearing this crystal use a method that does not use water or salt water.
We hope that you have found some valuable information here, and have found a place to start you exploration of these crystals.
All Our Best,
Dr. Nicole & Thea
