Menalitis
raw and natural

Meaning of symbols

Its soft and rounded shapes suggest feminine contours and a mystical idea of fertility.

For contemporary esotericism, in connection with ancient goddesses or fairies, she embodies archetypal feminine energy - and a pathway to guiding spirits during meditation.

Spiritual properties and benefits

In lithotherapy, this link with sacred femininity manifests itself in the soothing effects of gentle yet profound energy.

Its spiritual grounding promotes emotional healing when change is not self-evident. It is a companion in the quest for meaning, which always requires inner transformation, supporting an open relationship with intuition and its fullest expression: creation and self-expression.

Menalite will reinforce universal and unconditional love and compassion, freeing the mind in return from primal fears, such as the fear of abandonment or the dread of death.

In meditation

Lithotherapy tradition affirms that Menalite facilitates astral travel, past-life regression and connection with spirit guides.

Physical effects

Lithotherapy tradition also attests to the fact that Menalite supports hormonal cycles, fertility and women's health in general. It is said to be of great help during menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, post-partum and menopause.

Precautions

Menalite is a delicate stone, particularly the Quebec variety, which is more fragile than its Moroccan counterpart. They can be distinguished by their color: gray for the Quebec variety, and white, even beige, for the Moroccan variety. Both have a flint-like structure.
 

What stones should Menalite be associated with?

In lithotherapy, Menalite can be combined with complementary stones to amplify its action. These stones all promote meditation, emotional healing and spiritual reconnection:

• In addition to Menalite,Aquamarine, Blue Beryl or Aquamarine soothe the emotions for a calmer and authentic expression.
• Celestine or Coelestin can facilitate a connection to the higher planes, inducing deep calm during meditative states.
• Howlite or white Magnesite can help reduce stress and anxiety, supporting patience and self-awareness.

Mineralogy of Menalite

Menalite is a calcium-rich calcite. It was formed in the Quaternary era, mostly in glacial lakes.

Its rounded and irregular shapes are the product of the interaction of sand, clay and calcite over thousands of years.

Its color ranges from white to cream, beige or pale gray. Its soft, almost velvety texture has no defined crystalline system.

Its deposits are found in Canada and Morocco, but similar forms are also found in ancient glacial regions.

Its hardness ranges from 5.5 and 7 on the Mohs scale - it's a relatively resistant stone, but brittle if subjected to heavy impact.
