Gemstone Meanings & Crystal Properties

Learn all about healing gemstones with this comprehensive list of stones and their meanings. This is our complete guide to crystal meanings with over 70 different semi-precious stones and crystals, precious gems, minerals and their metaphysical symbolism, healing properties & powers.

 

Agate
Agates are earth stones. Overall, agates are gentle, nourishing, and strengthening, with a lower intensity than many other gemstones. Individual types of agate have their own personal healing properties.

• Grape Agate crystal clusters are a very rare type of agate - absolutely stunning, with unique grape / bubble formations. Grape Agate is a very soothing stone and stabilising stone. It is protective and radiates a warm and meditative energy. Grape Agate encourages security and inner stability. It helps to cleanse your auras and clears your mind of stressful or fearful thoughts. Grape Agate connects you to intuition and supports self-confidence. Grape Agate stimulates the Crown Chakra, and can be useful in meditation. It also can be useful for peaceful sleep. Grape Agate connects you to your dreams and can encourage understanding of what they might mean. It heightens your intuition and focus, and connects you to yourself and your emotions.

• Flower Agate: otherwise known as "Sakura Agate," or "Cherry Blossom Agate" has many amazing metaphysical properties that encourage self-growth. The best analogy to describe the energy flowing from FlowerAgate is "from seed to blossom," because FlowerAgate will help you to blossom and reach your full potential.

  It can aid as a protector from your own fears & self-doubt to allow you to grow. Orbicular patterns on Flower Agate are reminiscent of seeds, and the floral plumes are reminiscent of blossoms. Pieces with both orbicular patterns and flower-like plumes help us to envision the process of growth. They serve as a reminder that we start out as seeds and blossom and grow. Flower Agate aids in manifesting & nurturing your dreams. Its beautiful
  soft, feminine energy ignites a passion to pursue our dreams and live life to the fullest. It is the perfect stone for entrepreneurs hoping to grow and flourish their business, or for those starting a new endeavour in their lives. One of my favourite quotes is, "if you love what you do, you will do it with passion." This stone is the epitome of that saying, as It encourages you to grow & reach full potential by doing what you love. In turn, we can grow into more positive and happy people, which will encourage others to do the same.

When this chakra is in flow you know you can take emotional risks in life because the center will always hold.

The Sacral Chakra is where our passion, intimacy, and the inner fire sits. If yours is blocked you may feel that you struggle to connect and that joy almost seems impossible to find. Carnelian awakens this zest for life, letting the energy flow through from the ground to the naval. The final chakra connected to Carnelian is the Solar Plexus Chakra, the place where our personal power burns. This is the center of our self-esteem and where our warrior spirit sits in wait.
