Clinohumite

In this post, I will review this one-in-a-million crystal’s benefits and uses. You’re also going to find ways to cleanse your clinohumite and the best crystals to pair it with. Let’s start.

Clinohumite is a magnesium silicate mineral from the humite group. First discovered in Italy in 1876 near the vicinity of Mount Somma and Mount Vesuvius, clinohumite usually occurs in igneous rocks, sometimes associated with other minerals like spinel and grossular. Once considered to be among the rarest crystal in the world, clinohumite is sought after by many not only for its remarkable beauty but its many crystal healing properties, especially to the mind, heart, and body.

Although clinohumite has been found in many places around the world, crystal deposits are often small. In fact, only two locations in the whole world have gem-quality clinohumite, which is Pamir in Tajikistan and Taymyr, Siberia in Russia. Clinohumite can have vitreous or resinous luster.

The most common colors for clinohumite are honey yellow and yellow-orange. Some clinohumites also appear light brown and reddish brown in color, although these may be rarer than the yellow-to-orange variety.

Because of its stunning quality and charm, clinohumite can be faceted into gems. However, because of their rarity, even the tiniest clinohumite crystals could fetch more than a hundred dollars. Still, clinohumite is quite a popular choice for jewelry.

Many people claim that wearing clinohumite can boost one’s energy levels and enthusiasm. If you’re heading out for the day, it’s a good idea to wear clinohumite.

Others even recommend wearing it close to your body, which is why it’s ideal to have it as a necklace, bracelet, earring, or ring. If you only have it in its raw form, you can carry it around your pocket instead.

Another reason why people love wearing clinohumite is their healing properties. It’s believed that clinohumite has the power to alleviate pain and sadness, which makes it an excellent crystal for those who are suffering from sickness.

Clinomite’s uses as a healing crystal are twofold: to combat negative emotions and heal them, and to offer comfort. Indeed, it’s one of healing crystals to use if you’re recovering from illness, injury, or loss of a loved one. Pairing it with other stones could magnify its powers. More on this in a moment.

Below are some of the benefits you may experience by wearing or meditating with clinohumite.

Clinohumite Chakras

Among all the chakras in the body, clinohumite connects strongly with the solar plexus and sacral chakra.

• Solar Plexus Chakra

  Located at the upper abdomen, just below the ribcage, is the Solar Plexus Chakra. It’s the center of our willpower, emotional control, and self-esteem. When this chakra is blocked, we may feel angry or depressed and sometimes unable to control our own emotions. By opening this chakra, we become more confident without being aggressive and controlling.

• Sacral Chakra

  Found at the navel, just below the belly button, is the Sacral Chakra. It’s the seat of our creativity, pleasure, and sexuality. When this chakra is closed, we feel uninspired, demotivated, and prone to emotional outbursts. By activating this chakra, we become more in touch with our creativity and sexuality. We feel joyous feelings with our personal relationships and ourselves.

All crystals need charging and cleansing, especially if they have just been received into your home. Cleansing doesn’t only mean cleaning a crystal physically. It means purifying them of negative energy that could only harm you instead of helping. Charging comes next, and this is where you fill a crystal with positive vibrations and set them with your own intentions.

Here are some of the best ways to achieve these:

• Soapy Water

  Some stones can be cleaned in soapy water. When cleaning them, ensure that you use a gentle soap and carefully remove any dust or debris from the stone. After the stone is clean, rinse off the stone with lukewarm water and pat the stone down with a soft cloth.

• Full Moon

  Cleansing your stones with the full moon is an excellent way to remove negativity. At twilight, place your crystals on a windowsill or a place where they will be able to absorb the light of the moon (and its vibrations). Remove the stone the following morning before the sun gets too high into the sky. You can also place several stones on a grid to charge with a specific intention.

• Smudging

  Smudging your stones will immediately remove negative energies, so it is important to open a window for them to leave if you are cleansing your crystals indoors. Simply light either used bundled or loose sage with a match then blow out the flame to produce smoke. Wave the stone through the smoke for 30 to 60 seconds to clear bad vibrations. Ensure you use a fire-safe bowl or plate for safety.

• Visualization

  Visualization is a safe and powerful way of charging any of your crystals. Take time to center your energy and ground yourself, then pick up the sone in your hands. Focus on filling your hands with a radiant light through visualization for a minute or two. Focus on removing the negativity from the stone, allowing it to be cleansed and recharged with purpose. You should be able to feel the energy within the stone shift into positivity.

• Sound

  If you have large stones or a number of crystals, using sound may allow you to charge all of them at once. You can use Tibetan bells, a singing bowl, or tuning forks to create a vibrational tone that will fill the stone and renew them again. Play the sound for about 10 minutes to charge your crystals.

• Running Water

  Holding a stone in running water for about a minute each can both cleanse and charge many hard stones. Access to a natural spring is always best, but faucets also work as long as the stone can be completely submerged. You can also place them in a fountain to allow the water to run over the stones. Dry with a soft cloth when you remove the stone from the water.

Remember that at a Mohs hardness level of 6, clinohumite may be more durable than other stones but it can still be scratched and damaged. Avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals and mechanical cleaners when cleansing it.

Conclusion

Clinohumite is a crystal people love for the joy and positivity it brings. If you ever have one in your possession, make sure to take care of it well by cleansing it regularly to keep it free from negative vibrations.
