Minerals from Mother Earth - by Judy Power

Apache Gold

A delightful black stone laced with beautiful veins of pyrite. Its finish is satiny. The black mineral is steatite and, although this stone may be found in some other places in the world, the only well known source is in Texas. It was thought to be a stone of good luck by the Native American who cherished it. Pyrite is a very grounding stone which helps one deal with the physical here-and-now. It adds protection from the ill will of others and helps to oxygenate the brain, encouraging clear thinking. Steatite is a compact form of talc which may come in green, white, grey, brown or black (apache gold only). It leads to the widening of one's horizons, opening doors to new ideas, thoughts and directions. It is useful in stabilizing electric energy, providing for a buffer from the interference of undesirable outside interference and enabling the user to both send and receive psychic messages more clearly. It improves the immediate environment and emits a calming and peaceful energy allowing one to release old, tired routines and create a more beneficial area in which to live. It helps one change with the tide of things and accept new challenges. It is helpful in processing intellect - making it more user-friendly. It is used in the treatment of fat digestion and stimulates the liver and gall bladder for greater efficiency. It is said to be somewhat useful for those trying to effect birth control - although no one has ever written how this is to be done! It is not a particularly expensive stone but does take of bit of effort to find - it is worth it though.


Crysoprase

This is a wonderful form of chalcedony and is an apple green. It reminds one of those great green mint candies one eats after a big meal. This stone balances the yin-yang energy and aligns the chakras with the etheric plane. It works especially well with the heart chakra while sending healing energy to the physical body, facilitating the meditative state and filling one with compassion and clemency. A non- judgmental state is emphasized along with self-acceptance and a feeling of easy-going and getting-along - almost a childlike happiness. It helps one to release the focus on self-imperfection, become flexible and overcome difficult situations. Good for healing a broken heart due to loss. Removes superiority and inferiority complexes. Helps with the ability to verbally communicate and express oneself fluently. Promotes honor and dedication in business affairs. Helps one assimilate vitamin C. This stone allows the emotional, mental and physical to work in unison, flowing smoothly for the betterment of the user.
