The Magickal Properties of Gemstones

Black Onyx

This solid-feeling stone is excellent for grounding negativity and letting go of stress. Onyx is soothing and helps in focus, to banish grief and old habits, protecting the bearer and encouraging happiness and good fortune.

Black Opal

Both grounding and energizing at once, black opal is a stone for looking within. It stimulates the third eye and brings insight and inner knowing. It aids the wearer in discerning the truth of themselves and those they deal with and helps them to reconcile those truths.

Black Star Sapphire

A protective stone which helps us to ground ourselves and to find our center. It relieves stress and doubt and helps us to trust our intuition. The star brings the light of spirit into inner darkness.

Black Tourmaline

A stone of purification, black tourmaline deflects and grounds negativity, releasing psychic and emotional debris. It reduces anxiety and depression, and opens the wearer up to renewal and increased vitality.

Bloodstone

Known as "the stone of the warrior," this stone enhances courage and brings understanding of the benefits behind each hard-won victory. It helps us to revitalize and open our hearts, tempering strength with compassion. It is a protective stone, and in ancient times was thought to slow bleeding. (Most likely this was caused by the pressure of the bloodstone on the wound, not the stone itself.) This stone is often used by athletes to give them both courage and physical vitality. It is also a prosperity stone, helping to manifest wealth.

Blue Aventurine

This calming stone is used in healing and balancing the emotions, and helping us to communicate clearly and creatively. Blue Aventurine stimulates creativity, intellect and independence. It enhances leadership qualities allowing the wearer to act decisively, with strong intuitive power.

Blue Lace Agate

Attuned to the Water and Air elements, Blue Lace Agate's energy is flowing, airy and graceful. Creating a feeling of relaxation and peacefulness, it helps to release stress. It can be used to inspire ourselves and others and assists in communicating from the Spirit.

Blue Topaz

A stone of communication, Blue Topaz stimulates the creative thinking process and helps us to verbalize our thoughts. It helps the wearer to distance themselves so that their thought processes are uncluttered by desire.
