Metaphysical healing properties of Stilbite   Stilbite is one of the zeolite stones, being related to apophyllite, heulandite, scolecite and other zeolites. The color ranges of stilbite are white, yellow, pink, orange, red and brown. Stilbite is a wonderful stone that connects the heart chakra with the higher chakras.  I always look at the chakras as the first three being the lower chakras, the heart chakra being in the middle, and the throat through crown as the upper chakras.  Stilbite allows the heart chakra to connect with the upper three chakras when usually the heart chakra stands alone in the middle. Because of this effect stilbite has on the upper chakras, it allows us to bring heart into everything we work on within the realms of these three higher chakras. This connection of stilbite allows us to tap into our creativity, using the throat chakra it allows one to bring love and openness to their creative flow.  Stilbite is strongly connected to the third ...

Power stones are a perfect way to have the energy of that particular stone overflowing in the room! They tend to radiate energy outward from the center when placed in a room. Power stones are helpful at creating a shield of energy in any particular area. They are great placed on your desk or on or around your healing room as they radiate energy in a bubble around them.
