Dolomite:-

Named in 1791 by Nicolas Théodore de Saussure in honor of the French mineralogist and geologist, Déodat (Dieudonné) Guy Sylvain Tancrède Gratet de Dolomieu. He discovered a specimen of what would eventually be called dolomite during his participation in Napoleon Bonaparte's expedition into Egypt in 1798.

Dolomite is usually found as druzes or clusters of small rhombohedral crystals with a somewhat "saddle"-like shape, white to tan to pink in colour or in massive outcrops of low grade material. Dolomite, also known as dolomitic limestone, magnesian limestone, or dolostone, is a sedimentary rock composed of Calcium and Magnesium Carbonate It forms through the process of dolomitization, where Calcium Carbonate, or Limestone undergoes partial or full transformation.

Dolomite rock is quarried, crushed, and ground into various fractions for diverse applications. It is widely used in agriculture to improve soil quality, in refractories due to its magnesium content, and in the paint and plastics industries as a filler material.

Dolomite invigorates our entire chakra system while grounding our emotions into the physical realm. If you often find yourself out of balance, Dolomite's energies focus on centering our emotional and physical bodies. This mineral harnesses its element by rooting one's aura deep into the core of the earth. Here, we can tap into Mother Earth's energies and intentions so that we may begin to reprogram our chakra system to be fully aligned once more

If you are one that is eager to clear your headspace of unneeded, self-deprecating thoughts and would like to tap into Mother Earth’s energies for guidance, Dolomite is a stone that you should be working with. When one is fully aligned with their chakra system, their decisions and thoughts will be of pure and decisive intent. Strong, fiery emotions are cooled by this nurturing stone.

This talisman for centredness can help assist those who may have a hard time connecting with their spiritual selves. Dolomite helps in connecting your true-self to the spiritual world, bringing out new refreshing thoughts and ideas. When we find ourselves connected to nature, we are tapping into an unlimited power channel given to us by Mother Earth. Nature is what created us, it is responsible for our existence, and with Dolomite we can transmute this energy to assist our body in necessary healing.

Selenite:-

Selenite is celebrated for the transparency and ethereal radiance its crystals provide. Like the moon, it reflects a pure beam of white light into any environment in which it rests, and is believed to contain the liquid Light of Spirit inhabiting the place between light and matter.

If crystals show translucency, opacity, and/or color, it is caused by the presence of other minerals, sometimes in druse, (druse is the crust of tiny, minute, or micro crystals that form or fuse either within or upon the surface of a rock vug, geode, or another crystal).

Selenite is unlike any other crystal because it doesn’t need to be charged, and it will amplify the energy of all crystals set upon it. Before 2004, gypsum was thought to only exist on Earth. Then, it was confirmed that gypsum dune fields existedon the surface of Mars as well. Maybe that’s why its energy feels so out of this world!

The pure, high vibrational energy of the Selenite healing properties is like liquid light. It has the ability to cleanse, purify and align you with your highest potential. It shifts your aura and energetic vibration to attune you with a higher energy.

Low vibrational energies attract negativity on the same level. Raising your vibration is essential to keeping feelings of grief, fear, anger and anxiety out of your mental and physical space.

If you’ve been doing a lot of work with crystals during times of stress or emotional turmoil, don’t forget to release that energy from them using Selenite.

When you take off your jewellery each night, place your pieces atop your Selenite charging plate over night. Place your crystals and tumbled stones on top of it to cleanse and clear their energy. You can also use these plates to create a crystal grid, as the selenite properties will amplify the power of your grid.

Selenite evokes protection from the angelic realm, helping to dispel all negative energy from the body and mind. It is known to bring deep peace and mental clarity. This Selenite Charging Plate will magnify the energy of anything that is placed upon them. Combine them with other crystals to amplify the desired intention, or try creating a rainbow plate by setting a series of colourful tumbled stones on the plate.

Selenite is a calming stone that installs deep peace.  It helps clear confusion and helps you to see clearly.  Non-judgemental is another one of its gifts.  Place under your bed to align the spine and for healing energies whilst your sleep.

Malachite:-

Malachite is a green, common secondary copper mineral with a widely variable habit. Typically it is found as crystalline aggregates or crusts, often banded in appearance, like agates. It is also often found as botryoidal clusters of radiating crystals, and as mammillary aggregates as well.  Named in antiquity by Pliny the Elder 79 CE as molochitus after the Greek ”mallows” in allusion to the green colour of the leaves.  Known in the new spelling, malachites, at least by 1661.  Malachite is a green and common secondary copper mineral with widely variable habit.  Frequently found as a pseudomorph after Azurite crystals, which are generally more tabular in shape.

The  name Malachite may come from the Greek word malakee, or malache, signifying the resemblance of Mallow leaves, or from the Greek word malakos, meaning soft. Being a carbonate of copper, Malachite is sometimes intergrown with Azurite, forming Malachite-Azurite, or with Chrysocolla, forming Malachite-Chrysocolla.

Well known to ancient Egyptians, Malachite mines were in use between the Suez and Sinai as early as 4000 B.C. It was also popular with the ancient Greeks and Romans, for jewelry, ornaments, and in powdered form, for eye shadow. In the Middle Ages, Malachite was believed to protect against the "Evil Eye" and to cure various stomach ailments. Russian czars used Malachite for ornaments and paneling for their castles, and intricate inlay work.
