Charoite

Do you struggle to see with clarity and wish to reveal deeper truths? Do you want something that will help protect you? Or maybe you are looking to heal something within yourself? If so, Charoite would be the perfect stone for you!

Charoite connects the most with the third eye, crown, solar plexus, and root chakras. The third eye chakra, also called the Ajna, is the sixth chakra and is seen as a deep indigo light which is known for its perception and awareness. The crown chakra then goes by the name Sahasrara, which is the seventh chakra and is seen as a purple or violet light. Its purpose is to enlighten and deepen your spiritual connections, transform, and connect you to the divine. Then, the solar plexus chakra goes by the name Manipura, and is typically known to be a yellow light which represents energy, confidence, and identity. Finally, the root chakra, which goes by the name Muladhara, is represented by a red light and is known for providing stability.

The zodiac signs that are most commonly associated with this stone are Scorpio and Sagittarius. Scorpio is the eighth astrological sign and it is represented by a scorpion which can be seen through its traits of ambition, strength, and determination. Then, Sagittarius is the ninth zodiac sign and is represented by an archer who is adventurous, honest, and curious.

Charoite is usually paired with the element of wind because of how the stone and the element are both associated with having intuitive and psychic qualities.

The crystals that pair well with this stone are Amethyst, Rose Quartz, and Blue Apatite. Amethyst is good to pair with Charoite because it is best known as a stone of protection. Then, since Rose Quartz is commonly viewed as a stone of healing, love, and self-love, it is also an excellent companion to Chariote. Finally, Blue Apatite is another good addition to Charoite because of how the Apatite's psychic abilities add to Charoite's revealing nature.
