Scolecite is one of the crystals that have high vibration, as well as a strong stone to aid in communication, more especially with the spirit. This is a stone, which stimulates the heart, since it has a great resonance within the chakras from heart up. This is what facilitates deep spiritual transformation and inner peace.

Scolecite is a hydrous calcium aluminium silicate that is a member of the Zeolite family. It ranges in colour from white, pink, purple, yellow, and red to even colourless. Scolecite can be found in very rare crystal forms in Iceland and very few parts of India, but can be found in masses all across the globe including USA, Europe, and Africa.

The meaning of this crystal's name relates to the Greek word meaning 'a worm', referring to its propensity to curl when heated.

SCOLECITE : MEANING

Scolecite is the stone of “inner peace”, and will be the perfect remedy for anyone looking to relax, especially after a long day. The crystal actives our upper chakras and is commonly used as a meditation tool. When holding a piece to the third eye, one will immediately feel slow, pulsating vibrations massage our 6th chakra.

Scolecite strengthens and unlocks our third eye and allows for intense lucid dreaming. When meditating with the intention of auric cleansing or self-healing, it is important to do so from the heart.

Scolecite may work on a higher vibration with the upper chakras, but it also unlocks the heart and pushes it to release anything that may be causing pain from within. This stone is a total auric cleanser and will in a sense do a “spring cleaning” on you when working with it daily.

It’s important to cleanse and sage Scolecite after you’ve worked with it due to it pulling out negative energy from within and absorbing it.

Scolecite is very good stone for anyone looking to do dream work or enhance their memory. It is a stone that prides itself on helping you be able to understand imagery within dreams and the correlation that it may play on in your life.

Everything within our dreams has a meaning about something in reality, and this stone aids us in this discovery. Being able to understand our dreams can help us move forward and educate ourselves on where we want to go and how were going to get there.

SCOLECITE : PROPERTIES

Scolecite is a powerful rebalancing stone, especially for people who have spent a large amount of time in high-energy environments. In Chinese philosophy, scolecite is associated with Yin energy, in contrast to Yang energy.

Yang energy is outward-focussed, whereas Yin energy is inward-focussed, and promotes self-love and self-healing.

If you have spent a significant amount of time in high-powered work environments or social events, you may need a good dose of the energy of a stone like scolecite to “recharge.”

This is especially important for people who are introverted – that is, who gain their energy from being alone.

Scolecite will speed up the recharging process, helping you gather your energy and calm yourself so that you are focussed and ready for your next social or activities.

Note, however, that extroverts need some reflective, self-focussed recharging time sometimes too, so scolecite isn’t wasted on them!

Scolecite can help with spiritual and emotional peace of mind, helping you to develop feelings of connection with a higher power and confidence in your relationship with Him or It.

The vibrations of scolecite stones are similar to the comforting, warm feeling of love that you experience with people who you have cared about and shared your life with for a long time.

It is a soothing and energizing stone at the same time, inspiring you towards being a better self while also giving you feelings of comfort with your own self, as you are now.

It will effectively prepare you to deal with potential problems, but not allow you to fixate on these problems, and instead allow you to focus your mind on the positive aspects of your life as you currently experience it.

SCOLECITE : BENEFITS

Scolecite will help you develop your self-love and self-confidence.

By introducing this stone into your life and learn how to create a positive relationship with your own mind, which is an extremely useful and rare skill for anyone to learn.

For those of us who feel uneasy when they are on their own, especially when they feel that “bad thoughts” are just on the edge of their consciousness, prepared to swoop in at any moment, scolecite may be the perfect stone for you.

It will allow you to rest easy with your own mind, rather than being afraid of “bad thoughts.” 

The calming energy of scolecite stones can help those who deal with anxiety and insomnia, helping you sleep easily when the energy around you is rattling around inside your brain.

It will help you clear your mind of fears and worries, especially those that are focussed on potential future events, or on past mistakes that you can’t change now (especially those pesky mistakes that everyone else has forgotten about, but that linger with us for years).

Once you are freed of those feelings and anxieties, you will be able to enjoy your own company much more.

You may find yourself looking forward to being on your own to a far greater extent than you may have in the past.

This comfort with yourself is the great breeding ground for creativity, as (while other people can be very inspiring), creative work often happens in solitude.

It is also a good stone for developing your senses of empathy and sympathy. Frequently, people tell us that being self-focussed means neglecting others.

HOW TO USE SCOLECITE ?

One of the best ways to use scolecite is to place it in a room where you frequently spend time alone with your own thoughts.

This might be a bedroom, a study, a den, or even an office.

Place it somewhere where it is easily seen every time you enter. Natural scolecite formations make great decorations, but a well-placed tumble stone is just as good.

By placing it in this sort of room, you will become primed for introspection every time you enter. It will also ward off any anxieties or negative thoughts that might disrupt your thinking patterns while you are in this room.

This will make it easier to develop your creative and innovative mind while you are in the room, and it will prevent you from becoming bogged down with unnecessary fears.

Even if this is a room that you usually work in, like an office, or dread going into, you may find that a single piece of scolecite is enough to completely change the energy of the room, and you may actually come to enjoy spending time in it.

You may feel calmer, comforted, and generally at ease every time you enter, without even knowing why!

You can also wear scolecite as a piece of jewellery in order to take this energy with you everywhere you go.

Scolecite is sacred to the third eye chakra, which is the chakra of imagination and intuition. It is a wonderful addition to a set of chakra stones for this reason.

You can also place it on your forehead in between your eyebrows while you meditate, or even right before you fall asleep (as long as you like sleeping on your back an don’t move too much, as it’s apt to slip off).
