Charoite is also a stone of compassion and unconditional love. Charoite connects the heart chakra to the crown chakra bringing a compassionate view to our spiritual endeavors. This heart centered awareness allows us to see that we are all spiritual beings connected by our being a part of the same Divine Creation. This environment of unconditional love is the beginning of a deeper understanding of our spiritual path. The first step is letting go of judgments that we have placed on ourselves and others facilitating, personal healing and forgiveness. This process of healing further grounds us in the present moment bringing in the higher spiritual vibrations to our physical world. With out our judgments our Insights and intuitions about our spiritual growth and path become clearer. With our judgments dissolved we then can begin to think about the world in a compassionate manner. Love is the emotion, Compassion is the new way that we view our world. Compassion is truly hindered by fears and prejudices. These two create the illusory divisions that lead to our feelings of separateness. This stone draws downs the higher vibrational energies and grounds them in our everyday life. Increasing the work of spirit in our lives guiding us, Not always gently, To our higher spiritual purpose.

Charoite helps one to acclimate to higher energy vibrations and is especially useful for energy workers, channels, and anyone that works with higher vibrational energies. For those that are working to raise their energy vibrations Charoite reminds you to bring the higher-vibrational energy  down to the earth plane. Charoite helps overcome spiritual escapism, encouraging one to to assume responsibility for bring spiritual energies where they are needed and grounding them here on earth.

Mineralogical information for Charoite from Wikipedia

Charoite (K(Ca;Na)₂Si₄O₁₀(OH;F)·H₂O) is a rare mineral, named for the Chara River (though this etymology is disputed by some), and found only in the Sakha Republic, Siberia, Russia. It is found where a syenite massif has intruded into and altered limestone deposits.^[4]

Charoite is a strong, translucent lavender to purple in color, reminding some of a granite or marble with its pearly, swirling luster. However, it is a discrete mineral rather than a rock. Charoite is strictly massive in nature, and fractures are conchoidal. It has an unusual swirling, fibrous appearance, sometimes chatoyant, and that, along with its intense color, sometimes of a “grape” nature, can lead many to believe at first that it is synthetic or enhanced artificially.

Tumbled Malachite

Malachite is one of my favorite stones. This stone is one of the most powerful healing stones that I know of. When working at Coyote Wisdom I am often asked about stones for Helping with the healing of various conditions. The first stone that my Intuition usually pulls to the surface is Malachite.

Malachite Works in many ways and on many levels.  The Healing process begins with the clearing of energies that may be causing problems and blockages in the Energy body which manifest as physical problems. This Stone cleanses “Negative” Energies from the chakras, as well as electromagnetic pollution, radiation and other energies that can throw the energy system out of balance.

Malachite is a powerful physical healer. As stones for physical healing go in my opinion it is one of the most powerful. Malachite works to reduce  inflammation, promotes cellular regeneration, strengthens the immune system, and detoxifies the body. Because it works on the cellular level malachite can help after traumatic injuries and surgeries.Malachite works on the physical body by helping to speed detoxification. As a result malachite is one of the best stones to remove negative energies and pollutants from the body, subtle energy system, and the environment as a result malachite needs to be cleansed often.

Malachite works on a Psychological and mental level by illuminating the core beliefs and psychosomatic roots of our disease. It helps to break old patterns that are holding us back. Malachite goes to the core of a problem enhancing Intuition and insight about the causes of our problems physical and otherwise. Malachite helps bring suppressed feeling to the surface and release emotional trauma.

Malachite is a very protective stone. It can protect you from the Negative thoughts and energies from others. Malachite by many sources is a stone of transformation that points to the blocks on our spiritual path. It can also help with Psychic and intuitive development by opening up the third eye and stimulating psychic visions. Malachite is also connected strongly with the heart chakra and helps empathic development and bringing an awareness of our personal power and will, as well as our own personal worth allowing us to to effectively change our lives to our benefit.

As you can see I could go on and on about the benefits of malachite. I have barely scratched the surface of the uses for this stone. These are some of the best uses for malachite but not all by any means. I would like to add in here that malachite should be used with some caution. It has some toxic properties but can be safely handled. Do not make elixirs or waters to take internally. If using unpolished malachite be careful not to inhale any of  the powder that may come off of this soft stone. Take a reasonable precaution to protect the stone as it will easily break and scratch.

Here is some more information from wikipedia

Malachite is a carbonate mineral normally known as “copper carbonate” with the formula CuCO3.Cu(OH)2. This green-colored mineral crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system, and most often forms botryoidal, fibrous, or stalagmitic masses. Individual crystals are rare but do occur as slender to acicular prisms. Pseudomorphs after more tabular or blocky azurite crystals also occur.
