When I pulled this stone I admit it caused me to pause for a moment.
Here's what my two sources for Stone meanings have to say about Fluorite and then I'll weigh in with a dream I had about this stone and shape about a month ago. According to SageGoddess.com Fluorite is the dharma soul pathing stone. Dharma is your soul's lesson/purpose in this life. The stone also helps you align with your intentions and clears the obstacles towards your dream. A super powerful stone based on this description right? They also associate it with the Crown Chakra. The Essential Guide To Crystals, Minerals and Stones by Margret Ann Lembo also associates Fluorite with the Crown Chakra but also third eye, heart and solar plexus. She associates the stone with releasing 'monkey mind', an aid to meditation and genius/inspiration. These associations have a lot in common. When you add in the Sacred Geometry of the Octahedrom there is an entirely new layer to to the meaning. Octa means 8 and there are eight 'faces' to this stone, 12 edges and six vertices. If you look at it from the point it looks as though there is a Merkaba inside of the crystal. Further, the Octahedrom represents Air in sacred Geometry. In the Medicine Wheel the Air is associated with the Eastern direction. (Think of the Sun as a light bulb of inspiration turning on every morning...when we grasp an idea we 'see the light'). Air represents thinking...and it's represented by the Swords in the Tarot. Further, in the process of Creation/the creative process (Alchemy)...take for example, creating a chair...the idea/sketch/plan for the chair is an essential step. There is some debate if the material (Earth- North Direction) comes first because if the material to create the chair didn't already exist prior to the Creation then there would be nothing to create with...but that's a debate we will go into some other time. The chair exists as a 'Template' before it is brought into reality by the Creator of the chair. Personal Associations/Meditation When I was reading the book Kabbalistic Astrology not very long ago I dreamt that I ate a Fluorite Octahedron and I knew that it represented astrology somehow. Of course when I looked up the shape octahedron I immediately connected it to astrology because of the 12 edges...just as there are 12 zodiac signs. I'm not sure about other connections because I haven't dived too deeply into additional connections to astrology. I'm sure there is a connection between the fixed, cardinal and mutable signs that hasn't occurred to me. I don't have a ton of time to dedicate to meditation or research...I am lucky when I get to read (right now I'm potty training my daughter which is exhausting absorbing work...although, on day three the second attempt- the first was at 18 months and we're now at about 24- she's pretty much got it). Saying that this is the Dharma stone or that it offers inspiration is spot on because what else does Astrology really represent? I know some people (Acuyta Bhava Das, for example) seem to think that the only purpose for Astrology is Divination. I think it goes a bit deeper then that and really represents the fabric of life as it is being woven...it contains not only the pattern of the every changing tapestry but also the specific threads represented by the planets that are associated with colors, chakras, soul groups, etc. If everything in the world is interconnected because...in essence this is all a part of the 'One Thing' as alchemists call it astrology symbolizes the distillment of that information on the Macrocosmic level. On the Micro-cosmic level you can look up Octahedral Geometry. I can't help but wonder if that dream was prophetic in some way of this moment...after all, there was that dream about the pure white cow that Kevin Todeschi said was that I was 'about to find my purpose' and now this...I also had a very similar dream recently that was, as far as symbolism goes, mind blowing. I wish share that dream, along with several other very powerful dreams that I had, in my Full Moon In Aquarius Meditation Post. Also, interesting is the fact that I plan to study the chart for my wedding day when my 'name' changed. In Kabbalistic Astrology Rabbi Joel C. Dobin suggests when that a name is added the astrological chart for that moment is now the person's chart. That is why Abram or Sarai couldn't have children but when God changed their names to Abraham and Sarah they could. In September or October I'll share not only what I found when applying this to my own life when my name changed from my maiden name of Carr to Korns but a meditation on this powerful and potentially life changing concept! You might remember, I had a dream recently involving Ant's where I said that the reason I came here was to prevent a Nuclear War during this transition of Ages. That's all I'm going to share for now. I'm sure this will be an evolving topic over the years as I continue my studies and research.

This beautiful Solar Plexus stone is not one that most people agree on.
In the book Crystals, Minerals and Stones by Margaret Ann Lembo she says that Honey Calcite is brown and connects us with Nature. Lembo says that Honey Calcite is connected to the Root Chakra. Sage Goddes, however, says that it's a stone that heals relationships around Mothers. SG says that Honey Calcite is connected to the Solar Plexus Chakra. As I meditated on this gorgeous stone that looked so sunny when I lifted it up to the sunlight so that you can see the light through it...I had to agree that this was a Solar Plexus stone. I do have a piece of Honey Calcite that I found out on the claims that is brown and more dense...so I think both points of view are right depending on the stone. However, I don't like focusing just on the 'wounds' that our 'parents' gave us when we were younger. I'm evolving past that point of view that has become the dominant narrative. Blaming parents for where we are today is inauthentic. Also, as I've stated many times...by the time your in your late twenties or thrities you have absolutely no excuse for not taking responsibility for your life...including doing the inner work of healing by realizing parents are limited humans doing the best they can with what they've got. No one is perfect and placing blame is no longer ok...there's too much easily accessible information on how to heal those wounds for people to use it as an excuse past their twenties. Instead, I was reminded of honey and the symbol of the Honey Bee. Honey is created by the community of Bee's working together and...essentially nurturing their Mother. In this case, both the idea of Honey Calcite connecting to Nature, Nurture and Mother's are in agreement. The bees in a hive are born from the queen and persistently care for her because they know that without her there would be no hive, no community and nothing for them to work towards. They don't blame the Queen Bee for their existence, their failures or expect her to do everything for them. They only wish to ensure her survival so she can continue to create. I think we can learn a lot from Bee's in that regard. While I don't recommend that we adopt the Hive Mind of the Bee's I think working together so that each person can fulfill their role to the best of their ability. If we do what we can enthusiastically as possible with the intention of serving the whole without exception...we will inevitably work towards more harmony and inner peace. No matter how small the task...weeding the garden or cooking dinner or bagging groceries or mowing lawns... it has a deep meaning and it does serve the collective. Not everyone should be a rock star or a president...because that would leave a lot of work that is just as meaningful and important (if not more so) undone. On A Personal Note I couldn't have pulled a better stone out at random then this one...especially given that I pulled it on the day of the 2nd Cancer New Moon on July 20th 2020. I didn't mention this in my blog on this New Moon but there are a lot of 2's surrounding this New Moon. I feel that this New Moon, in my life, is deeply about communication with the Creator. I've seen the signs I equate with a need to go deeply within and nurture my inner Spirit. I also had a taste of the depression and that old mantra that I used to hold onto since I was a teenager, "I am no one, I am not important...I need to sleep..." and willing myself to go into a 'hibernation' mode where I was really shut down. I haven't felt that way in years now but the desire to do that came back with a vengeance for a few days where I could barely manage to maintain my daily routine...and actually indulged myself by sitting down and watching a few movies that were actually a bit depressing (Avengers Infinity War, The Last Jedi and the 2015 Fantastic 4)...just by coincidence because they were in the top row of recommended movies on Disney+. I have become aware of a Solar Plexus block (associated with this stone) that I am working with that has to do with a past life that has to do with...Mothering. I had a lot of children in that dream and a husband that didn't care as long as I was popping out kids. In fact, I got the impression that husband felt that was the only purpose for my existence. In particular, the feeling of wanting to die in order to rest because I was not able to feed all of the needs of my many children. I felt taken advantage of and exhausted but I was unable to declare my boundaries in that life. I longed for and dreamed only of my death in that life because I felt I could rest then. Their was so much deep despair in that dream...and an inability to realize that I needed to ask for help by saying, "Hey, I need time for myself and I don't feel like anyone is taking care of me...what about my needs? I feel depleted." I can't think of any mother that hasn't felt this way at time. I only have one child so far in this life and sometimes I'm like, "Ok, I just want to use the restroom on my own for once without an interruption." Of Course, the husband is just as guilty of interrupting...he choose to only watch the little one for 15 minutes unless I hit the point where I ask him for an entire day...even then I'm lucky if I get four to five hours on my own (when you want to read, write and meditate during that time...the time flies!). Trying to steal time buy indirect means is just as exhausting as not having at all...so I have to be very direct and pretty much bang the husband over the head verbally before he'll grant me some time alone. Standing up for 'me time' so I can rest, restore and fill my personal cup has been been a major life lesson for me. That means turning inward and helping to spark that inner fire, that was made in the image of the creator, and that passion/zest for life. I came into this life exhausted. My mom had to wake me to feed me when I was an infant. I sleep more than other people and it takes me a lot longer to recharge my battery then other people. I do not gain energy from being around other people...I'm drained of my energy when around other people so solitude is an absolute must for me. This stone is absolutely the best companion for this healing journey. I based my entire New Moon Ritual on releasing that Thanatos- that Death Wish that I carried from that past life into this one. I know now that I am an eternal being that always was, always has been and always will be...and while it does seem as though events occur in Spirit in a far more effortless way...it doesn't that finality of 'rest in peace' that humanity's long held beliefs about death possess. I wrote an entire blog on Thanatos that will come out on Saturday during the 'Me Time' I had this past weekend. Being a nurturer and concerned about the needs of outer circumstances is wonderful...but there has to be a balance of give and receive. I have to be careful not to give in an sacrifice myself...that doesn't really serve anyone. I don't need to receive that nurturing back from others either...but I do need time to myself to rest, relax and restore that inner spark in solitude. Visualizing the Solar Plexus as a battery is a good metaphor in that regard. Right now, solitude is not something that I have an ample supply of but it's becoming easier. I still have a lot of work to do regarding this lesson but I think this is a significant breakthrough. I really can't wait for Leo season this year...I'm hoping that it will infuse me with a vitality that I don't usually tap into and this beautiful Honey Calcite really seems to encapsulate that Solar Energy! Collecting different types of Moonstones is one of my weaknesses! Luckily, Moonstone is a very affordable stone. Right now Sage Goddess is selling Peach Moonstone for around $1 each.
Moonstone is a powerful stone for Shadow Work! This beautiful peace is fascinating. Moonstone is great to meditate with because you can become lost looking for all of the bits of luminescence. No two pieces of Moonstone are alike. In total there are 7 different types of Moonstone and the reflecting bit is called adularescence which is unique! Moonstone helps you tap into those powers of the Moon- the subconscious with all of it's extrasensory emotional depth. Naturally, this helps you to tap into the Feminine Goddess energy...that is the Receptive Energy of the Creator...in order for anything to be created/planted there must be a receptive energy. Pieces of wood, for example, must be receptive to being shaped by a carpenter before a chair can be created. For women it an aid with the natural feminine cycle that often coincides with the moon's phases. Peach Moonstone resonates with the Sacral Chakra where most of us experienced wounds during our teenage years. This stone can help you clear away all of those feelings of being misunderstood, taken for granted or left out. Below you'll find two more pictures of Moonstone because it looks so different from every angle. Not only that but it changes dramatically with and without light! When you add light what seems like a mildly interesting angle of the rock become super interesting. I can tell you from my own experience Rock Hounding on my own claims (someday I'll share some of the pieces I've harvested myself- I got a rock tumbler for Christmas and I'm still dialing in how to make the rocks are smooth and pretty!) that this would be an easy stone to miss because without the light hitting it a specific way it doesn't look all that interesting! I love Kambaba Jasper!
This is a somewhat rare and hard to find gem. On average small pieces run about $8 a stone and you can expect to spend closer to $20 for a stone that's over an inch. To me that's expensive for a rock. Kambaba Jasper only comes from Madagascar. The orb shapes are from stromatolites- ancient fossilized algae! Technically that means this stone is a fossil which I love. The first time I saw this stone was on Lune Innate's channel. I thought this stone simply looked magical with it's dark green swirls. To me it reminds me of the atmosphere of an alien planet. This is a heart chakra stone that is perfect for someone who's facing adversity. I wish I had carried it when I worked in the Customer Service industry because it has a fierce protective energy. This will give anyone who is going into a tough situation the courage to fall back upon. This is the perfect stone to take into a job interview, for example, or a first date (tucked into your pocket). Rumor is that this is the stone that Shaman's prefer to use. Sage Goddess says that this is the stone of the warrior and that it is a very masculine stone. This stone definitely has that energy. The Essential Guide To Crystals, Minerals and Stones by Margaret Ann Lembo says this is a stone for soothing your nerves. I think that soothing comes from the fierce protective nature of this stone. Astrologically this is a good stone for now with it's fierce yang energy. The two most masculine planets are in their home signs. Saturn is in Capricorn and Mars is in Aries. Saturn in a person's chart literally represents their relationship with their father...I don't think anything is more masculine then Father energy. One of my favorite stones.
I liked to call Brecciated Jasper the 'Phoenix Stone.' This stone is all about Transformation. The stone, at some point, broke. That's what Brecciated means...broken. When that happened another mineral, sometimes quartz, filled in the gaps of the stone making it complete once again. This is the ultimate stone of Transformation. Like a Phoenix that rises anew from it's ashes...this stone rose from it's broken state into a new form. This stone is for the lower chakras, in particular the Root Chakra and is also wonderful in assisting with healing the Inner Child. I've been working with a smaller piece of Brecciated Jasper for two weeks now that fits into a special necklace I have. Red Jasper When I pulled this one I was just thinking about how perfect it would be with the Scorpio Full Moon (Thursday May 7th). The original symbol of Scorpio is the Eagle (and if you read the blog I just posted today Monday May 4th). Then I randomly pulled it out of the covered bowl I use for pulling these stones every week. Divine Timing never ceases to amaze me! *** I will try to post a stone each week. I usually share them on Instagram every Monday but I will try to share them here every week too. This is a little harder place to share than Instagram because I have to go on my Tablet or Laptop since the Weebly doesn't play nice with the cell phone. |
