ZINCITE

Metaphysical Properties- I find the red color of Zincite to be very stimulating and passionate; it increases life force energy as well as sexual energy, this allows us to experience the feelings of joy, passion and of being in a committed relationship. Use Zincite to transcend these passionate feelings into the physical body. Use the orange Zincite crystal when you need to add
creativity into your life. This can be any type of creativity, from writing a book to starting a family.  The yellow variety of Zincite can be used to transmute feelings of inadequacy to feelings of fearlessness! This yellow crystal will feed our will power and give us courage to face everyday fears.   I have found Zincite to work very well in conjunction with other stones. Use Malachite along with Zincite to draw out negativity, the Zincite will work to transmute that energy.  Zincite occurs in red, deep orange, yellow, blue and black. Some pieces show more than one color, sometimes you will even see yellow, orange and red in the same crystal or specimen.

From what we have learned by working with Zincite is that this stone transmutes energy, it does not heal it. Use Zincite to filter or transmute the energy and then begin to heal it with other stones. You may wish to use Amazonite with Zincite, this combination will facilitate a clear expression of yourself in a way that is truly understandable to others. Zincite with Chrysocolla is a good combination to increase the flow of prana energy, while keeping you calm and nurtured.

Numerology- Polish Zincite, which we are referring to in this article vibrates to the number 3.  The number three is about joy and creativity.

Gemological Properties- The chemical composition of Zincite is ZnO and crystallizes in the hexagonal crystal system. Zincite is a fairly soft stone, around a 4.5 which is comparable to Turquoise. It has a high refractive index of 2.01.  As stated earlier, most of the zincite you find now is from the Polish smelters. Aesthetic Zincites are one of Natures Miracles :

Nice crystals and crystal clusters of Zincite in all colours  occurring as a secondary mineral from Silesia , now Poland , are a unique sample of a natural crystallization phenomena of Zincite mines.

Its crystallization was not made by of men. It was caused by a surprising and rare happening called “sublimation” which means the crystals were formed by direct transformation from a very low state of beingness (gas , fire) to a very high (crystals) not passing levels in between (like the liquid state of element).

Due to its rare type of crystallization ( “sublimation” ) and rarity zincites are very much desired by mineral museums.

Crystal System: hexagonal

The tetrahedrons in zincite all are oriented in one direction and produce the hexagonal (six fold rotational) symmetry. This mineral provides for the synthesis of personal power, creativity and physical energies. It is useful in the radioinics field to intensify the response patterns exhibited during use of the ”check-surface".  Zincite introduces the connection with the higher realms!

Since fire is the cognition of the transformation of the hard-physical to the hard spiritual, red Zincite getting big importance in our time of collective transformation into the cosmic aquarian age .

The metaphor of a zincite crystal is that out of all the tragic, all the devastation and trauma something beautiful, valuable and desirable emerges! All that occures follows a way and what happens follows a higher goal.

Gabril: "Alles hat ein tiefes Sein,  alles hat den Sinn des Zwecks." ("Everything has a deep Beingness,  everything has the sense of the purpose")

Bedenke stets: dass alles, was dir geschieht, dir zufaellt, dir widerfaehrt, das Beste fuer dich ist. Und dass es deine Aufgabe ist herauszufinden, inwiefern. (Always consider: that everything that happens you is assigned to you. Everything  that happens to you, is the best for you.   It is only your task to find out, in what respect.)

Red Zincite wants to help humanity and each individual to recognize full responsibility for all what is happening or all what is perceivable.

 Zincite is not a one locality mineral. Occurrences: mines of the Sterling Hill and Franklin, New Jersey, USA area. The chemical composition of zincite consists of tetrahedrons of ZnO4. The tetrahedrons in zincite all are oriented in one direction and produce the hexagonal (six fold rotational) symmetry.


ZEOLITES

Zeolites are a popular group of minerals for collectors and an important group of minerals for industrial and healing purposes. They combine rarity, beauty, complexity and unique crystal habits. Typically forming in the cavities, or vesicles, of volcanic rocks "basalt", zeolites are the result of very low grade metamorphism. Some form from just subtle amounts of heat and pressure and can just barely be called metamorphic while others are found in obviously metamorphic regimes. Zeolite crystals have been grown on board the space shuttle and are undergoing extensive research into their formation and unique properties.  An example of the most common zeolites include: Prehnite, apophyllite, gyrolite, okenite, natrolite.  Heulandite, Chabazite. Mesolite, and Stilbite.

Many like to use the healing effects of zeolites.  The healing properties differ from variety to variety.  For example clear apophyllite is used to bring us spiritual consciousness, heulandite allows us to understand that all limits are in the mind, and stilbite aids psychic knowing, guidance and direction.  I have listed a few varieties of Zeolites in detail below.

APOPHYLLITE CRYSTALS

Metaphysical Properties- Aids in becoming spiritually aware, increases awareness in every day life, and fills aura bodies with light and joy. Apophyllite is known as a spiritual body stone, addressing issues when you are ready. It is used for expanding new ideas and to aid in decision making; allowing you to set a direction you can follow, or to discover your next step in life.  Apophyllite is a soul-level healer.  I like to use them when I need clarity in my life.  They allow me to travel into those areas, which I am afraid to explore, bring me answers to life’s questions, and allow me to be clear in my thoughts. I would like to think that this crystal will keep me clear as well as to stimulate and promote mental clarity.

APOPHYLLITE CLUSTERS   Apophyllite clusters are said to be a ‘soul level healer’. It is a crystal that puts us in touch with the knowing and inner wisdom on a soul level. It also allows one to become aware of their own spirituality as well as the spirituality of family.  Brings a feeling of connectedness between one and the Universe.

Numerology- Vibrates to the number 4.

Gemological Properties- Apophyllite’s chemical composition is Kca4F(Si4O10).8H2O.  Apophyllite is from the family of minerals referred to as the Zeolite Group.   The hardness is fairly soft, being only a 4.5 on the Moe’s Scale of Hardness.  These particular Apophyllites are colorless, also some are faint pink or green.   The refractive index lies at 1.535 and the specific gravity is 2.3.  The main gem grade deposits are from India, however, Zeolites occur all over the world in low-grade material.

SCOLECITE

Metaphysical Properties- Scolecite is a great team stone.  I use it for group based projects to pull the team together into a more cohesive group and also in offices to engender team spirit.  However I've also used it to pull a group of stones together (another form of team I guess) into a united effort toward some issue.  It seems to function as a  harmonizing force between the different energies but also appears to improve  the communication (for want of a better term) between one another.  So instead of each crystal just doing its bit, they all work together in a synergistic effort - far more powerful.

Numerology- Vibrates to the number 1.  Leadership and independence.

Gemological Properties- Scolecite is from the Zeolite group of minerals.  The chemical composition is Ca(Al2Si3O10)-3H2O.  Crystals are usually seen to be white and/or colorless. The refractive index is 1.513-1.519 and the specific gravity is 2.27.  the hardness is a 5.  The main source is Poona, India.  However you can find small crystals in many places around the world.

PREHNITE

Metaphysical Properties- Prehnite is calcium aluminum hydroxide silicate- belongs to group silicates- these group strengthens the power of regeneration, encourages the healing process after an illness, stimulates the energy flow, helps one find one's way back to original wishes, goals and intentions that inspires us. They are helpful when we have to  retrace our steps or have to face a new beginning. Prehnite is An "ascended" mineral, It assists one with out-of-body travel. Protects, and strengthens the life force. Facilitates contact with E.T. and/or higher dimensional entities. Stimulates inner-knowing, and prophesy. Helps heal, anemia, gout, and kidneys. Attunes to higher chakras.

Numerology- Vibrates to the number 5.

Gemological Properties- Prehnite is a variety of Zeolite that belongs to the Orthorhombic crystal system.  The chemical composition is Ca2Al2(OH)2(Si3)10).  Calcium aluminum hydroxyl silicate. Usually medium to pale green or yellow green, sometimes nearly white.  Often seen as green botroydial crusts. The hardness is 6.5, the specific gravity is 2.80, and offers a refractive index of 1.616-1.626. The main sources are Poona, India, Iceland, Greenland, Chile and the USA.

OKENITE

Metaphysical properties- Okenite is one of those minerals that must be touched.  During my gem show days I did offer Okenite for sale, each time a child walked past they just had to touch it.  From what I understand, some like to use Okenite in the hopes of creating a channel to other-planetary information. Some say it is a stone for 'star children'. I haven't used it in this way my self, but I do like to hold Okenite when I feel a need for comfort and nurturing.

Numerology- Vibrates to the number 7.

Gemological properties- Okenite Belongs to the Mineral Family of Zeolite, chemical composition- CaH2Si2O6* H2O.  It occurs in white and yellow, the hardness is 4.5-5 on the Moes Scale.  Specific gravity is 2.3 and the crystal system is triclinic. Associated with other zeolites, namely stilbite, heulandite.  The main sources are Poona, India, Iceland, Greenland, Chile and the USA.
