Atacamite... A Crystal For The New Age
Aids Powerful Spiritual Visions

Atacamite was discovered fairly recently... and many people are working with it to fully discover its qualities. Many specimens of Atacamite are very beautiful. if you look at the image of the stone below you will see lovely glittering dark green crystalline areas... along with the lighter green areas. The actual crystals are on top of a base mineral.

The weathering of the stone in quite arid desert conditions is believed to have created it.

The deep green crystals are interspersed within the matrix as well as on top of it... and they are quite attractive.

This is a stone that may come combined with various other natural crystals that may affect its overall vibration, and be of benefit to you.

The best way to use this stone is to meditate with it every day. You may find that even holding it in your hand you may make contact with the spiritual realm.

Why Would You Use Atacamite

While using this stone and experiencing many of its spiritual characteristics... you get a feel for its overall metaphysical qualities. It has lovely green crystals... located on a deep brown matrix. The strength of the matrix stone, on which the crystals sit... also has strong energy.

The vibration of this stone allows you to ground your energy to the earth chakra, as well as taking you to the highest levels. Most green stones will have heart chakra energy, yet my experience of this stone is that Atacamite seems to work on all of the chakras.

It is said to aid the immune system and the thymus gland... and is a stone of confidence and self motivation from a heart based perspective, and promotes independence and enthusiasm. At the throat chakra it aids communication and self expression... and will assist the thyroid gland and bring energy to the body.

What we do know is that it will forcefully open the third eye and encourage you to experience extraordinary psychic visions.It is a stone that I recommend for anyone who wants to develop their clairvoyant abilities, as it brings through powerful visual images... even if it is not your predominant psychic gift.

Its unique energy will resonate within the third eye chakra, the throat chakra, the thymus chakra and the heart chakra... all areas that aid your spiritual growth.

Within the lower chakras... especially the sacral chakra... it works on the kidneys, aiding elimination... especially of fear based toxins...and is also helpful for enhancing creativity, and altruism. It is said to strengthen both the male and female reproductive organs, and to help to eliminate herpes... so if this is a problem for you it might be of value to you.

It has a lovely feel to it... and although it does have an amazing energy within the higher chakras... it has a definite heart chakra energy. It works within the heart chakra and the higher heart chakra or thymus chakra... aiding you to attract more love into your life.

Where Does It Come From

Atacamite was named for the area where it was first found... the Atacama Desert in Chile. Since then it has been found in Mexico and the USA... as well as in quite a large number of locations in Australia. It is said to be related to quite a few stones... and like Azurite -Chrysocolla- Malachite mixtures... has the different mineral entwined within the stone.

My specimen of Atacamite does seem to be more copper based... with a clearly and predominantly green color.... although it does have some small blue areas within the stone.

It has a similar look to Chrysocolla on some parts of the stone... and is reputed to be a mixture of various minerals... coming to together to create a totally new stone.

It has been designated as a an Aquarius birthstone so it is on the Zodiac Birthstones list... and as more and more of the stone is made available you will find it will be sold as jewelry. While this green color is quite prevalent amongst most specimens... there have also been pieces found with various other colors within them, including blues and reds with the green, which would make lovely jewelry.

The lighter areas within the stone look very much like Chrysocolla... which is one of the minerals within Atacamite. The addition of the energy of Chrysocolla in many specimens may be why it is known to have strong heart chakra energy.

How To Use It

If you use it for a short time each day, you may adapt more easily to its energy, and have less side effects. If you find you are dizzy or feel spacey... make sure you hold spiritual grounding stones in your hand afterwards to ground you.

Atacamite Atacamite crystals is an excellent stone for meditation... as this allows you to make use of its more impressive nature. It works at the third eye and within the pineal gland... and will intensify your connections to your higher self and to your guides.... as your physic visual abilities open more fully.

It may aid you to more easily achieve finding your spirit guide. It is said that if you have not already opened your third eye that it will forcefully do this.

You may find that when you pick it up, your clairaudient abilities may come to life. This can happen straight away in some people... particularly when clairaudience is your primary psychic power. It is known to help you to 'see' more clearly... via your psychic vision... so is powerful for those who desire to heighten their experiences of this ability.

When using it for meditation it would be beneficial to use it fairly gradually until you adapt to its energy... especially if you have not experienced strong energy before. As it is likely to take you to the higher realms... you may become ungrounded.

Even though this stone has a grounding vibration... if you are using this stone for spiritual development it would be a good idea to also use spiritual grounding stones. Some of the stones to combine with it would be Fire Agate, Black Obsidian Stone and Black Tourmaline... as these are also psychic protection stones.

In Summary

As we learn more about Atacamite crystal... and more of the stone becomes available... it will be a stone that will be widely used... as it works on so many areas at the same time. I believe that this stone has come to our attention at this time... because it is needed by all of us... as we head forward into this decade, working on our overall spiritual development and ascension.

We are reborn into this world every time we wake... and there is daily a chance to make a new start, and live a new life.
