Brazilianite
jewels, stones and virtues

In lithotherapy, Brazilianite is linked to the solar plexus chakra. This symbolism reinforces the virtues that come from the heart: a personality's generosity, confidence and willpower, the benefits of which make creativity possible and natural.

Thus armed with ideals, optimism becomes palpable and engaging for the person and those around them. Our desires and dreams, which in the past might have been forbidden, suddenly become a horizon in the ocean of possibilities. But light is fragile, and we need to nurture it with kindness and exchange and communication.

In Brazil, where this stone was discovered, it is said to help with sleep and its repair. Its optimistic force is said to support us when our spirit is dreaming of the loss of a loved one. A gift from the Gods, this stone would then share with us the soothing wisdom of the Sun.
