Heulandite
minerals, with Apophyllite, Cavansite or Stilbite

In lithotherapy, its soothing effects on the emotions and the mind make Heulandite the mediator and epitome of spiritual transitions, accompanying every evolution in its serenity.

Origins and symbols

Heulandite takes its name from mineralogist John Henry Heuland, who studied its unique crystalline properties in the early 19th century.

At the same time, theosophists such as Helena Blavatsky and Rudolph Steiner were developing a spiritual concept close to Carl Jung's collective unconscious: the Akashic archives, a universal energy field including the memory of all beings, thoughts, emotions and facts past, present and future. Subsequently, modern tradition has turned Heulandite into a spiritual memory stone, suitable for deep meditation, for releasing emotions and for approaching repressed or karmic memories.

Its mystical and introspective presence, its symbol of transformation, are an analogy of its formation in the cavities of volcanic rock, where it materializes the whole force of creation, formation and regeneration of the Earth.

Capable, according to this tradition, of opening access to Akashic records and connecting the human quest for self to higher dimensions, Heulandite has become a highly prized stone in contemporary esoteric traditions.

Properties and virtues in lithotherapy

Through intuitive or meditative means, crystals such as Heulandite, Apophyllite or Labradorite are used to help access the Akashic archives during energetic lithotherapy work.

Accompanying inner exploration and the release of energy blockages in search of deeper truths, stone is a powerful tool for personal transformation.

Its action raises vibratory frequency and facilitates the search for meaning through altered states of consciousness - like lucid dreaming in meditation. It will recreate a link between mind and heart and through this renewed connection illuminate the value of love and compassion, revealing them to be at the core of human existence.

This search through ether and space is a path to your inner wisdom. Accessing information from the Akashic Records can heal traumas, give a new understanding of reality and nourish personal growth. In this way, Heulandite will be a balm for the emotional and mental body, reducing stress by clarifying thoughts and strengthening the will.

On a physical level

There is no scientific proof of this stone's effects on the body, but its reputation in lithotherapy comes from tradition: because of its beneficial effects on blood circulation, the kidneys and the liver, Heulandite is said to help improve digestion, lose weight and become more agile.

Heulandite mineralogy

Heulandite belongs to the group of zeolites, minerals with remarkable physico-chemical properties. They can lose and regain water without altering their structure. This reversible dehydration is complemented by a capacity to absorb gases, liquids or heavy metals, which can be useful for water purification, soil nutrient retention, detoxification or even oil refining. Their molecular porosity acts like a sieve, filtering out certain molecules according to their size. They can also exchange ions with their environment.

Heulandite is a hydrated tectosilicate of calcium, sodium and aluminum that crystallizes in the monoclinic system, often forming in the basalts of volcanic rock cavities.

Its deposits are found mainly in the United States, Scotland, India, Iceland and Italy.

It has a hardness of 3.5 to 4 on the Mohs scale.
