Thulite

In this article, we’ll be looking at the meaning and uses of thulite. You will also find here information on how to cleanse and charge it to keep it free from negative energy, as well as the best crystals to pair it with. Let’s start.

A relatively new discovery, thulite was first discovered in 1820 in Telemark, Norway. Now, you might ask: if it was found in Norway, shouldn’t it be named after the location it was sourced or the person that first described the stone? The discoverer of the crystal thought it was apt to name it Thulite, after the mythical land of Thule.

Even during the time of the Greeks and Romans, Thule was regarded to be the northernmost point of the world where the sun never sets, and the land was covered in mystery. Nowadays, many people believe that location to be one of the countries near the Arctic Circle, most notably Norway. In fact, thulite was so closely related to the country that it was hailed as their national stone.

Thulite is a calcium aluminum silicate mineral with light pink to reddish colors. A variety of zoisite, its coloration is attributed to the manganese inclusions present in the stone. Sometimes, people refer to pink zoisites as thulite or rosaline. While it’s found in many places of the world, Norway is the country most associated with it.

In the world of crystal healing, thulite is said to be the stone of self-love, charisma, and regeneration. It helps us see that we can only open up ourselves to others by loving and accepting ourselves first. Thulite can remind us that the way to lasting relationships is by first forming a strong bond with yourself, honoring your needs, and learning from your mistakes.

It’s a stone that could combat self-sabotage. If you have been recently prone to self-defeating attitudes because of your fear of reaching your true potential, thulite will help us come to terms with it and break free from the shackles that bind us.

It will help us become self-reliant and outgoing. Shy people and introverts could make use of this stone because it will push them to connect with others, reminding them that no one is an island.

As such, it welcomes love and joy into our lives. Thulite is a positive stone that will help bring out the best in us, especially when it comes to relationships and self-improvement.

Thulite has many uses and benefits. To enjoy the benefits of this wondrous crystal, you may wear thulite jewelry. Thulite beads in a necklace or bracelet are rather popular, but they can be worn as rings, earrings, or brooches if you can find reputable sellers that have them.

If you have a tumbled thulite, you can carry them around in your purse or put them in a macrame holder to keep them with you at all times. Doing so will promote positive feelings all around, not just for you but for everyone around you as well.

Thulite stones can also be used in meditation. Tumbled stones, cabochons, or even raw thulite are best used for this purpose.

Thulite Chakras

Thulite activates a number of chakras in our body, including both the heart chakra and the third-eye chakra. It particularly works well with the heart chakra, as I will explain below. Besides these chakras, it also resonates with the following:

• Heart Chakra

  Located at the center of our chest, the heart chakra is the center of our ability to love and receive love in return. This is the main thulite chakra, the chakra that thulite resonates with the most, like most other pink-colored gemstones. When the heart chakra is closed, we may feel lonely and isolated. Healing will help us become more compassionate and feel connected with others.

• Third-Eye Chakra

  Our third-eye chakra lies between our eyes, at the middle of our forehead. It serves as the seat of intuition and imagination. By opening it, we may become more intuitive and self-aware, helping us know our true life purpose.

  Found in the upper abdomen, our solar plexus chakra governs self-esteem, willpower, and confidence. Activating it will aid us to become more self-confident.

  Below the navel is the sacral chakra which is where our sexuality and creativity lie. Opening this chakra will help us become more receptive to life’s pleasures and see our self-worth.

Crystals need to be cleansed and charged on a regular basis to keep it free from negative energy. With a Mohs hardness level of 6.5, thulite is a relatively durable stone. However, it doesn’t mean that you can cleanse it with any method. Always avoid exposing it to harsh cleaners and chemicals that may damage it. Here are some charging and cleansing methods we recommend:

• 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.

• Sun

  While the sun can charge your stones very quickly, you will want to remove the stone from the sun after an hour or two as the sun could discolor your crystals (even those that are sun-safe). You can set your stone outside or on a windowsill to absorb the powerful energy from the heavens. The time you need to charge your crystals will vary, but they can often be ready in just a few minutes.

• 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.

• Crystal Charger

  There are many tools that can help charge your crystals. Whether you use a pyramid, large selenite plates or bowls, or grids, you can enhance the powers of your stones as you charge them. As with other methods, you should set an intention when placing your stones on a crystal charger.

• 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.
