Kyanite

Wikipedia says: Kyanite, whose name derives from the Greek word kuanos sometimes referred to as "kyanos", meaning deep blue, is a typically blue silicate mineral, commonly found in Kyanite-rich metamorphic pegmatites and/or sedimentary rock. Kyanite in metamorphic rocks generally indicates pressures higher than 4 kilobars. Although potentially stable at lower pressure and low temperature, the activity of water is usually high enough under such conditions that it is replaced by hydrous aluminosilicates such as muscovite, pyrophyllite, or kaolinite.

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. In Kyanite, this anisotropism can be considered an identifying characteristic.

At temperatures above 1100°C, kyanite decomposes into mullite and vitreous silica via the following reaction: 3(Al₂O₃·SiO₂) → 3Al₂O₃·2SiO₂ + SiO₂. This transformation results in an expansion.

Kyanite is also known as Disthène. It needs no cleansing or clearing.

Physically Kyanite promotes alkaline metabolic processes, helping with with all problems that arise through over-acid conditions, for example rheumatism and gout, and will decrease excessive acid formation in the stomach. Kyanite supports the absorption of iron in the intestine and normalizes conductivity in the nerves. In this way, it helps with symptoms of weakness, slowed down perception and even with paralysis. Kyanite enhances the sensory organs. Kyanite has a stimulating effect on cell metabolism and cell division, promotes the healing of wounds or injuries, prevents scar formation and generally prevents premature ageing. It fortifies the skin, hair and nails and toughens up the connective tissues and the bones, the latter through stimulating the calcium metabolism. It fortifies the immune reactions in the blood and body fluids and encourages the activity of the lymph nodes, the spleen and the lungs. It is particularly helpful with a tendency to persistent colds. It improves the elasticity of the blood vessels and has an anti-inflammatory effect.

Psychologically / mentally Kyanite supplies vitality and alertness, promotes creativity and the desire to turn ideas into reality, while having a calming effect on nervousness, fears and feelings of guilt. Kyanite encourages the facility to express feelings, and to release behavioural patterns of holding onto things and holding back. It helps us to let go of fixed ideas and to open ourselves to inspiration and new impulses, opening our mind to the possibility of positive change. It promotes a feeling of inner well-being that makes us less affected by external difficulties. It also works against fearfulness, oversensitivity and exhaustion. Kyanite gives us inner stability, security and determination.

Spiritually Kyanite can help with a loss of identity, revealing who we really are and what our task is in life. It encourages a sense of reality, soberness and alertness at any given moment. Kyanite aids the recognition of the seductions of maya (illusions of physical life) and helps us to deal with them, allowing us to work creatively in harmony with physical and spiritual life. It promotes joy in living and the ability to be creatively active. Kyanite ensures survival in the sense of continuous further development towards optimal conditions. Kyanite is also known as the dream stone. It is an excellent stone to aid astral travel, lucid dreaming, path-working, shamanic journeying, channelling, meditation and psychic development. It aligns the chakras and meridians and clears blockages.

* WARNING: Placing certain crystals or stones in water can make the water toxic for consumption while other stones may be damaged by water. Some stones are light sensitive and it is not avisable to place them in directly sunlight. Consult with a qualified and experienced Crystal Healer if you are unsure.

Charging, Discharging, Cleansing, Care and Storage...

Charging

The intensity of radiation from a crystal is connected with the absorbed energy, so its healing effect can be increased and fortified through targeted charging. The most gentle method consist of laying the stone in sunlight at sunrise and sunset. The time during which we can dare to look almost into the sun without damage to our eyes is when the sun possesses a charging quality.

Stones may be charged immediately before using it for a treatment, by holding it in your hand or near a radiator. This too will intensify the effect. In most cases charging is not necessary as the stone will be charged, warmed up and stimulated by body contact, but it does take a little longer and it is less pleasant in winter to have cold stones placed on the body.

Discharging

Crystals become statically charged when heated or when they come into direct contact with the body. The most extreme example is Amber, which may become quite hot in a few minutes.

• Static charge can be discharged under running water (not recommended for all minerals).
• Placing the stones in the midday sun for a few hours is another way to discharge them (not recommended for all minerals).
• Healing stones can also be placed in a bowl of hematite. Hematite does not need any cleansing or clearing of its own. (This is my prefered method of discharging crystals, stones and minerals as it is safe and it will not cuase any damage to the stones)

Cleansing

Any information a crystal received from direct contact with a person's aura or physical body will remain stored even after the stone has been discharged. In order to completely wipe stored information, a more intense action is required.

• Some crystals* can be placed in coarse sea salt. Salt needs more careful handling. Direct contact with salt may produce chemical reactions with some crystals, making the stone lose its polished finish or change colour. If you want to go the salt route I recommend laying the crystal in a small glass dish that is embedded in a larger glass dish full of salt. The energy cleansing process is still maintained, but the stone will not be damaged by the salt.
• Another method is to place stones on an Amethyst druse. The high concentration of iron atoms and the energy of quartz give Amethyst a powerful, fiery radiation. Healing crystals "irradiated" in this way are stripped of information they have stored. Leave the healing stone on the druse for 6 to 24 hours, depending on the how long the stone was in use for. Leaving healing stones on the druse for longer will not cause any harm to the stone.
• Placing healing crystals in a bowl of uncooked brown rice have also been proven to be an effective way of removing stored information from crystals. Some people believe they should cook and eat the rice afterwards, but I don't feel comfortable with this idea. With so many people starving on a daily basis I prefer to not waste food in this manner.
• Healing stones can also be placed in a bowl of Citrine chips or on a Cirtrine druse. Citrine does not need any cleansing or clearin of it's own and is an excellent stone for clearning and cleansing other stones.
• Reiki practitioners can use a technique called Jakikiri Jôka Hô to cleanse crystals, minerals and gemstones. This technique is good in situations when you only need to cleanse a few stones, but it can be time consuming if you are cleansing more than 10 stones as each stone should be cleansed individually when you use this technique.
• In my opinion, laying stones in salt water or sea water, burying healing stones in soil or cleansing it in fire are definitely to be avoided, as many crystals will be severely damaged by this: Salt water penetrate pores and cracks and make the stone cloudy, some secondary minerals will be attacked by acids in the soil and transformed and fire will obviously tend to disperse too efficiently!

My preferred method of discharging and cleansing — all in one go — is to place the stones I used during treatments in a bowl containing 4kg of small (size 0 or 1sm) Hematite and 4kg of small (size 0 or 1sm) Citrine chips. I prefer to leave stones in this bowl for 24 hours, but this technique is so effective that it can discharge and cleanse stones in a matter of minutes.

Care

Physical cleansing should be restricted to eliminating dust from mineral groups and mineral druses. Use a fine paintbrush for the purpose. If you are cleansing a druse with water, only use mineral-poor water. Never use abrasive household cleaning agents on crystals. Some of them are almost impervious to such substances, while others are extremely sensitive.

Storage

It is very natural to want to display beautiful stones so you can see them most of the time. However, if you do not want regular dusting to become your main hobby, I recommend keeping them in a display cabinet. I would not recommend the windowsill, with exception to agate sections and other light-insensitive crystals such as rock crystal (Quartz), Hematite, Jasper, Lapis Lazuli, Tiger's Eye and Black Tourmaline. Many stones will lose their colour in direct sunlight, like Amethyst, Kunzite, Rose Quartz, etc.

Please don't lock crystals up in a dark box under the bed. Crystals, Gemstones and Minerals come to the surface to teach us, work with us and heal us through light and colour. By locking them up in a dark box you are keeping them from doin what they are here to do. In another post I'll talk about the Crystal Safe Haven I want to start, because I've heard of too many people locking crysals up in dark boxes ;-(

Vanadinite

Wikipedia says: Vanadinite is a mineral belonging to the apatite group of phosphates, with the chemical formula Pb₅(VO₄)₃Cl. It is one of the main industrial ores of the metal vanadium and a minor source of lead. A dense, brittle mineral, it is usually found in the form of red hexagonal crystals. It is an uncommon mineral, formed by the oxidation of lead ore deposits such as galena. First discovered in 1801 in Mexico, vanadinite deposits have since been unearthed in South America, Europe, Africa, and other parts of North America.

Vanadinite is an uncommon mineral, only occurring as the result of chemical alterations to a pre-existing material. It is therefore known as a secondary mineral. It is found in arid climates and forms by oxidation of primary lead minerals. Vanadinite is especially found in association with the lead sulfide, galena.

Smithsonite

Wikipedia says: Smithsonite, or zinc spar, is zinc carbonate (ZnCO₃), a mineral ore of zinc. Historically, smithsonite was identified with hemimorphite before it was realised that they were two distinct minerals. The two minerals are very similar in appearance and the term calamine has been used for both, leading to some confusion. The distinct mineral smithsonite was named in 1832 by François Sulpice Beudant in honor of English chemist and mineralogist, James Smithson (c.1765-1829), whose bequest established the Smithsonian Institution and who first identified the mineral in 1802.

Smithsonite is a variably colored trigonal mineral which only rarely is found in well formed crystals. The typical habit is as earthy botryoidal masses. It has a Mohs hardness of 4.5 and a specific gravity of 4.4 to 4.5.

Smithsonite occurs as a secondary mineral in the weathering or oxidation zone of zinc-bearing ore deposits. It sometimes occurs as replacement bodies in carbonate rocks and as such may constitute zinc ore. It commonly occurs in association with hemimorphite, willemite, hydrozincite, cerussite, malachite, azurite, aurichalcite and anglesite. It forms two limited solid solution series, with substitution of manganese leading to rhodochrosite, and with iron, leading to siderite.

Physically Smithsonite regulates the activities of the kidneys and the bladder and thereby the balance of liquids, hormones, acid/alkali and mineral-forming elements. It activates elimination and the movement of body fluids, enhances the effect of insulin and helps with diabetes, supports the immune system and promotes production of growth hormones and sex hormones.
