Charoite

Introduction to the Meaning and Uses of Charoite

Charoite is an incredible stone of the Violet Ray with an almost tangible movement of energy flowing in magnificent swirls and eddies of violet, lavender and purple. It is rare and complex, one of nature’s best dream stones and illuminators, allowing access to lessons learned in past lives, healing emotional fears to live in the present, and opening to spiritual guidance for the future.

This stone embodies a unique synthesis between the Crown and Heart Chakras, bringing high spiritual energy into union with unconditional love from the physical plane, and grounding it here on Earth where it is needed most. It is a Stone for This Age, assisting in the here and now…conveying the message that one is exactly where one should be during this moment. It is a talisman of acceptance and letting go encouraging service to humanity, and for attaining approval of the Self.

Discovered in the 1940s, Charoite was unknown to the outside world until 1978. Its name is derived from the Chara River in eastern Siberia, Russia, the only site in the world where it is found. The word Chary in Russian means magic or charms. The term Charoite Jade is a trade name for Charoite used in various applications as a decorative stone. 

Its distinctive color, ranging from bright lavender and violet to deep purple, together with its unusual patterns makes it so unusual it is often mistaken for a synthetic. It is found in massive form in dense fibrous aggregates, and may be translucent to opaque with a slight to moderate chatoyancy and a vitreous silky luster. It is relatively soft for use in rings or bracelets, but works well in other jewelry. It's heat is sensitive so steam cleaning and ultrasonic methods should be avoided.

Uses and Purposes

Charoite comes from an area of Siberia once associated with political prisoners and has become a source of comfort and a symbol of endurance in adversity. It grants the courage to start over after repossession, overcomes job loss in an area of high unemployment, and sustains those in prison, boarding school, the hospital or in residential care.

It is also a support crystal for those who care for the sick or elderly and for adoptive parents to bond with children with behavioral difficulties.

Charoite is a stone of connection for all who work away from home, and for those who live alone with little contact with others. It provides emotional healing for those who suffer acute loneliness and alienation from life, and eases fears of ill-health, pain and dying.

Charoite awakens analytical abilities and the capacity for keen observation. It assists in decision-making and facilitates faster responses. It imparts vigor and determination in overcoming obstacles and tackling huge piles of work.

Wear Charoite to avert premonitions of disasters you cannot prevent, and to channel these powers into positive intuition.

Physical Healing Energy

Charoite generally strengthens the body, grounding high frequency energy into the physical system transmuting illness and disease into wellness. It assists in overcoming exhaustion, and stimulates and regulates blood pressure and pulse rate. It is an excellent cleanser of the body when taken as an elixir.

Charoite is soothing to the nerves, and is thought to calm those with ADHD, autism and Asperger’s syndrome. It overcomes insomnia, promoting a deep sleep, and assists those with sleep problems, including sleepwalking and talking during sleep.

Charoite is thought to release cramps, relieve migraines, headaches and other aches and pains. It may be used in treatments of the eyes and heart, and to improve degraded conditions of the liver and pancreas 

Emotional Healing Energy

Charoite is a stone for overcoming and releasing fear and negativity. It allows one to recognize and examine the cause of unconscious fears, as well as deeply rooted, internalized negativity, and to discriminate between what is real and what the mind has created. Its cleansing energy aligns the heart and intellect and allows one to see oneself, and others, through a spirit of unconditional love and acceptance. It encourages flexibility and “letting go” of negative vibrations, and inspires one to move forward in relationships and in viewing the world.

Charoite is also beneficial in putting things into perspective and overcoming resistance to change. It helps battle compulsions and obsessions, and tempers frustration and worry. By bringing about a more relaxed attitude, Charoite assists one in accepting moments as they occur and seeing the good in all situations.

Chakra Healing and Balancing Energy

Charoite stimulates the Crown and Heart Chakras, synthesizing their energies to clear the aura and bring spiritual healing to the physical and emotional body.

The Crown Chakra is located at the top of the head, and is our gateway to the expanded universe beyond our bodies. It controls how we think, and how we respond to the world around us. It is the fountainhead of our beliefs and the source of our spirituality. It connects us to the higher planes of existence and is the source of universal energy and truth. When the Crown is in balance, our energies are in balance. We know our place in the universe and see things as they are. We are unruffled by setbacks, knowing they are an essential part of life. Imbalances of the Crown chakra are treated with Light Violet crystals. Their violet rays have the universal life force of magic, dreams, inspiration, and destiny.

The Heart Chakra is located near the center of the breastbone. It regulates our interaction with the external world and controls what we embrace and what we resist. It gives us the balancing ability to be ourselves within the environment. Shades of pink reflect the Light of the heart and love, and help stimulate the Heart Chakra, helping us understand our own needs and emotions clearly.  We can deal with the ebbs and flows of emotional relationships, understand their cyclic nature, and accept the changes.

Charoite Spiritual Energy

Resonating with Charoite’s high, spiritual energy opens one to their full potential and encourages a path of service to humanity. It enhances one’s giving nature, and allows the heart to understand the “brotherhood of Light” that exists between an individual, the dualities, and the total environment of the planet.

Charoite is an ideal crystal for acclimating to high-frequency vibrations and is highly beneficial for healers or others who work with these energies. It helps regulate the flow of energy through the body and in grounding excess energy to prevent psychic burnout. Charoite also assists a facilitator in being objective concerning the information he/she receives, and ensures the energies and issues are that of the client and not the healer’s own patterns, references and filters.

Charoite Color Energy

Charoite is a crystal of the violet ray of influence. Violet energy takes on the darker hue of winter’s majesty, the time just after the winter solstice. It inspires awe, and invites a feeling of mystery and magic, nobility and luxury. It is one of the most powerful rays in nature, helping us interpret our dreams and inspiring us to great deeds and accomplishments. Dark violet crystals are dream talismans, providing insight and giving us a window to the soul beyond ordinary understanding. Lavender talismans, the lighter shade of violet, provide not only the wisdom of self, but focuses on our feelings and understanding our hidden yearnings. They’re crystals of the free, unfettered intellect and heart.

The purple layers in Charoite carry amethyst energy, the red-violet ray that connects both time and color, of beginnings and endings, as the old year wanes and the new is about to arrive. It brings passion and imagination, emotion and logic. Light amethyst crystals help us peer into our souls and see ourselves as others see us. It is the ray of self-esteem and self-knowledge. Dark amethyst crystals bring the deep vision needed to see the future. It gives us powerful insight and enhances our perception of the potential effects of our decisions.

Meditation with Charoite

Meditating with Charoite transmutes negativity and grounds to the spiritual self. It is marvelous for cleansing the aura and filling the chakras with emotional purity, allowing one to open the heart and see how we are all universally connected. It may also inspire visions of past lives and suggest ways to redress karma on a personal and collective level.
