The virtues and properties of galena in lithotherapy

Protection - Stability - Flexibility - Achieving a goal - Physical and emotional balance

Galena is a lead sulfide. We therefore strongly advise against using it as an elixir!

In lithotherapy, Galena is not placed directly on the skin for long periods, but is very suitable as a "pocket stone".

It's a wonderful stone for emotional and physical stability. No more changing your mind every 2 minutes, Galena helps you center yourself and be clearer about your goals and dreams.

A stone of protection, it is an ally of choice for shielding a place or a person from "negative" energies, as well as from radioactivity or X-rays.

Galena is also recommended for esoteric practices, such as spiritualism, to protect against occult forces.

On a physical level, it can help people who suffer from vertigo.
