What do blue gemstones mean?
Blue gemstones correspond to the throat chakra, communication, and clarity. They each have different meanings, but many are used for helping resolve conflict, speak from the heart, and achieve mental focus & clarity.
Dumortierite
Dumortierite is an indigo colored crystal that supports mental and psychic abilities, leading to deeper insight and understanding on all levels.
Blue Calcite
Blue calcite helps you explore your unconscious, helping unblock creative inspiration, dissolve limiting beliefs, and producing vivid dreams. It also boots psychic ability and soothes emotional overload.
Blue Chalcedony
Blue chalcedony helps soothe fears & anxieties below the level of your conscious awareness, helping you stay in the present and deal with life in a calm and centered way.
Blue Lace Agate
Blue lace agate is ideal for situations where you know you must speak up and don’t feel confident that you can find the right words. It helps you speak your truth with conviction in a way others can understand.
Kyanite
Different colors of kyanite have unique properties. Blue is the most common, and is a stone that enables communication and energy transfer mind-to-mind, between the conscious mind and the dreaming mind (creating lucid dreams), and between the physical and astral body. It creates pathways that heal by bridging blocks and aiding communication between disparate parts of the self, or between people.
Turquoise
Like most blue gemstones, turquoise activates the throat chakra, helping us speak our wisdom and truth. The gift of turquoise is in bringing an awareness that every part of us is an element of our Divine self, to be understood and embraced. The heart of compassion is knowing that darkness and pain is a universal human experience, and only by integrating these aspects of existence can we become whole. Turquoise encourages to accept ourselves, warts and all.
Larimar
Larimar empowers you to speak directly from the heart. It is one of the best stones for diffusing anger and transmuting it to relaxed, clear communication. It helps you tap into a deep sense of calm that transcends the current situation and your emotional responses to it–helping you to accept what is, and see the Divine in every moment.
Sodalite
Sodalite stimulates the mind and consciousness to create enhanced intuition, creativity, and powers of analysis and observation. It can enhance the ability to be an objective witness of your internal processes, therefore assisting in meditation and inner journeying. It can be a guide in looking deeply inside to discover where you are on your life’s path and where you need to go.
Aquamarine
Aquamarine cools anger and helps create a calm, centered, relaxed but alert state with balanced energy. It is a stone of the Divine Feminine–teaching a form of power that is yielding and yet resilient, and letting you speak your truth clearly from a place of inner knowing rather than reactivity.
Chrysocolla
There are many forms of power. Chrysocolla empowers the Divine feminine, and the power of true wisdom to teach and transform. By activating the throat and the heart chakras, it supports you to speak the wisdom that lives in the deepest part of you, which may even surprise yourself.
Lapis Lazuli
Lapis lazuli is a stone with royal energy, in that it helps you uncover and access your inner noble and Divine nature. It activates psychic abilities and intuition, connecting you to spiritual guidance and visionary awareness. It helps you discern and speak the truth, as well as discover your truest inner Self.
Iolite
Iolite supports and facilitates inner vision, including shamanic journeying. It serves as a bridge between the rational mind and non-rational energies such as the heart, intuition, the depths of your unconscious, and your soul. Through this blending it helps you understand and release issues from the past, including past lives, and brings forth your innate creativity.
