The Crystal of the Day for Thursday 31 October 2013 is Dumortierite. Dumortierite is a stone that teaches you to stand up for yourself. It will help you to take control of your own life and increase your level of patience. This crystal is very stimulating to the brain and brings enhanced intellectual abilities as it assists with all mental skills, both mathematical and language based. It is highly stimulating to the pineal gland located behind the third eye in the forehead. If you have the potential to develop psychic powers, it is a powerful stone to amplify many psychic gifts.
These stones will aid you if you work in psychic employment, including if you work in the astrology field, or are a tarot reader. Your accuracy, in your interpretation of the information that you receive from the Divine mind is aided by this stone. They help you to stabilise your emotions, and this is helpful as these stones can create a large degree of change. If you are willing to work with the change, these crystals bring many gifts to you. They will also assist you to be patient which is always an asset especially if you work with the public.
It is primarily a stone of the third eye chakra but it will also have a beneficial effect within the crown chakra and the throat chakra. The pineal gland is located within the third eye chakra and is located behind the middle of the forehead. It is this area, the origin of psychic ability, that is highly stimulated by the use of this stone.
Hold them in your hand when you do a psychic meditation, as natural crystals of Dumortierite have a strong frequency that may assist you to hear the voice of the Divine and may aid you with mental telepathy or the ability to hear the thoughts of others. Dumortierite’s vibration is quite obvious, and if you are already using your psychic powers they will enhance these quite quickly with regular use.
Through its action in the throat chakra, you gain elevated abilities to communicate more clearly and this stone’s energy may aid your psychic communication abilities. Using these lovely blue stones may bring through past life visions, as well as enhancing most psychic skills.
This crystal also has an extraordinary capacity to help you to acquire many psychic gifts. This includes most of the best known ones, such as psychometry, clairvoyant abilities, clairaudience and developing intuition. It will also assist you to develop some of the less well known psychic powers, including prophetic vision, psychic knowing, channelling, automatic writing and psychokinesis.
This stone is also a stone for helping those of you with addictions, to more easily work through the issues involved. It will help you with problems of addictions by highlighting the patterns in your current life that underlie why you have these addictions. By keeping a piece of Dumortierite under your pillow at night, this will be an effective way to get the stones energy to work with you for a long period of your day. Alternatively (or as well) you may prefer to wear it during the day. Just keep it within your aura to gain the most from its unique vibration.
These powerful blue stones are on the Zodiac Birthstones list. They make beautiful crystal jewelry, and as they are a Virgo birthstone you should be able to buy jewelry made from these stones, although they are not as common as some stones. The best type to wear would be pendants and earrings or Dumortierite stone bead necklaces. If you wear it as close as possible to the chakra that it vibrates to the most, and the area you want to develop, this will aid you the most.
It is reasonably easy to buy these stones, so if you want, put a tumblestone of blue Dumortierite in your pocket so that you keep the energy of it working on you all day.
