Good Morning!

The power behind Earth's minerals can be felt the minute you put a

crystal in your hands or near your physical body. Crystals are the

treasures of the earth. These stones are filled with energy to be

used. Some of the best crystals for journeys include Angelite,

Calcite, Hematite, Moonstone, Obsidian, Peridot, Quartz, Sapphire and

Staurolite. They can be used for astral travel, awareness,

communication, good fortune, grounding, protection and safe travel.

polarizing and aligning the physical body with the Aura or ethereal

touch with angels and animal guides, as well as assisting in distant

communication with other humans. Most effective on the Throat Chakra,

Angelite helps in self expression, communication and allows us to

speak our mind, helping us to become more assertive. Its soothing

effects on the Throat Chakra works beautifully in calming and

soothing anxiety or overactive children. Use this stone to call your

Angels for guidance and support. Angelite is often used for psychic

connection to oneness with the Universe, the angelic realm and for

spiritual guidance. Angelite is utilized for heightened sensory

the natural crystal in body tissues and fluids to resonate at the

highest healing frequency. Quartz works with All Chakra and master

gland for balancing, cleansing and healing. It is the perfect stone

for complete Aura balancing.
