Healing Crystals - Citrines

Executive Summary about Healing Crystals by Shelley Allen

Citrine, also called citrine quartz or citrine topaz, is an amber-colored gemstone. They are one of the most affordable gemstones, thanks to the durability and availability of this golden quartz that ranges from yellow in color, to varying shades of pale champagne, to lemon yellow, to almost vivid orange madeira. This varying yellow color comes from trace elements of iron.

Kyanite

Kyanite, whose name derives from the Greek word kyanos, meaning blue, is a typically blue silicate mineral, commonly found in aluminium-rich metamorphic pegmatites and/or sedimentary rock. Kyanite is a diagnostic mineral of the Blueschist Facies of metamorphic rocks.

Kyanite

Kyanite

Kyanite is a member of the aluminosilicate series, which also includes the polymorph andalusite and the polymorph sillimanite. Kyanite is strongly anisotropic, in that its hardness varies depending on its crystallographic direction. While this is a feature of almost all minerals, in kyanite this anisotropism can be considered an identifying characteristic.

Uses of kyanite

Kyanite is a stone of channeling, altered states, vivid dreams, dream recall, and visualizations. It gives protection during these states. It brings loyalty, honesty and tranquility, and diminishes anger and confusion. Kyanite does not retain negative energy and never needs energetic cleansing. It does align and balance all chakras, often very suddenly. Kyanite can remove energy blockages. Green Kyanite is particularly good for balancing the heart chakra and maintaining heart balance. Blue kyanite is associated with the throat chakra and is a boost to meditation. Black kyanite is also a boost to meditation, and is associated with the root chakra. Black kyanite is also very protective and deflects negativity.

Kyanite is used primarily in refractory and ceramic products, including porcelain plumbing fixtures and dishware. It is also used in electrical insulators and abrasives. Kyanite has been used as a gemstone, though this use is limited by its anisotropism and perfect cleavage. Kyanite is one of the index minerals that are used to estimate the temperature, depth, and pressure at which a rock undergoes metamorphism. Finally, as with most minerals, kyanite is a collector’s mineral.

Alternative names

Kyanite has several alternative names, including disthene, munkrudite and cyanite. White-grey kyanite is also called rhaeticite.

Notes for identification

Kyanite’s elongated, columnar crystals are usually a good first indication of the mineral, as well as its color (when the specimen is blue). Associated minerals are useful as well, especially the presence of the polymorphs or staurolite, which occur frequently with kyanite. However, the most useful characteristic in identifying kyanite is its anisotropism. If one suspects a specimen to be kyanite, verifying that it has two distinctly different hardnesses on perpendicular axes is a key to identification.

As soon as the crystals have been soaked you will have to dedicate them to the purpose for which you use them. The crystals will draw on that specific energy. Hold the crystal and think of the specific purpose for which you want to use it. Say out loud “I program this crystal for (your purpose). You may want to repeat this several times and after every time you soak them.

You could meditate with your crystal. Hold it in your hand and breathe gently. As you breathe out, let go of any stress and as you breathe in, let peace flow in. Look at your crystal and notice it’s color and shape. Feel it’s vibrations. Then close your eyes and think about the energy of the crystal. When done, open your eyes and put the crystal down.
