Today's stone is Bronzite

Bronzite is a stone of protection. In addition to repelling negative energy it also returns it back to the sender...some say a hundredfold. So it must be used with caution in case you are the one sending out the negative.

It clears confusion and produces a loving and non-prejudicial discernment within us. Called a "stone of courtesy" Bronzite is excellent for those who work with the public as it will instill a sense of calm and polite nature in those around you.

Bronzite can help resolve our unsettled emotions, clear confusion and help bring about the courage to act on our decisions and follow our life path.

Bronzite is a protective, grounding mineral that is used to restore harmony and self confidence in situations where you feel overwhelmed or powerless.

That's one of the prettiest aquamarines I've seen.

Thank you Miss Scarlett, for posting info about the stones. I've not heard of some of them before.

Today's stone is Lepidolite.

Lepidolite is a gentle stone that helps bring about feelings of calmness in a sea of storms. It is a stone that insists on being used for the highest "good". It is extremely useful for reducing stress and depression - halting obsessive thoughts. Lepidolite is considered a stone of transition and it helps you to release the old and embrace the new - often achieving this on your own with no outside help. It also stimulates intellect and analytic qualities and helps to speed up decision making. It focuses on what is important and filters out distractions.

This stone is a reassuring stone for those who are new to psychic work or those who have had bad psychic experiences (like dabbling with an ouija board or having a seance when younger and unprepared for the results). It helps to screen out negative energy. It activates and opens the third eye and crown Chakra to clear blockages to bring cosmic awareness, aid in shamanic or spiritual journeys and giving access to the Akashic Records. Lepidolite can help you to tune into thoughts and feelings from other lives that are creating blockages in this life.

Every piece of Lepidolite is believed to have its very own keeper - or guardian spirit. It is believed that this stone chooses you - instead of you actually choosing it. This keeper of the stone will guide you in your sleep (if you wish it) to other lands inside of your dream world.

I cannot stay awake in a room with lepidolite. I have a polished piece inside my pillow case. What else it might be able to do I have no idea. Guess I'll have to just take your word for it, since it puts me to sleep so fast!
