Tugtupite Metaphysical Properties – A Stone to Release Your Emotions

Tugtupite Metaphysical Properties – A Stone to Release Your Emotions

Tugtupite is a stone which can help you release the emotions hidden deep inside you. Its ability to unearth your lost passions along with other tugtupite metaphysical properties will be discussed in detail in this article.

 

What is Tugtupite?

Tugtupite is a beryllium aluminum tectosilicate which also contains sodium and chlorine. Its chemical formula is Na4(AlBeSi4O12)Cl and it has a tetragonal crystal system which has similarities with sodalite.

Tugtupite was discovered by Professor H. Sorensen in 1957 from the areas called Tugtup agtakorfia in Greenland, from which it got its name. The tugtupite found by Professor Sorensen is a white mineral according to him but he has mentioned that it turns pink when exposed to sunlight.

Subsequently, pink tugtupite was discovered in 1962 and deeper red tugtupite was discovered in 1965, both from different localities in Greenland. Tugtupite got the gemological interest after the discovery of its deeper red variation. Greenland is still the only country which produce tugtupite in commercial quantities. It has also been found in Canada and in Russia in small quantities.

There is a light blue variation of tugtupite as well but it is much rarer than the pink or red tugtupite.

Tugtupite Metaphysical Properties

Even though it is a relatively recent discovery, tugtupite metaphysical properties plays an important role when comes to the crystal healing powers. The meaning of tugtupite centers around its strong ability to arouse dormant emotions but there are other important powers of this stone as well. As usual, I will breakdown the meaning of tugtupite into the following sections and discuss the details one by one.

  1. Emotional Benefits
  2. Chakra Healing and Energy Balancing
  3. Love and Relationship Benefits
  4. Physical Healing Benefits

1. Emotional Benefits of Tugtupite

Tugtupite is a stone which can activate the deepest energies of the heart Chakra.

If you are person who has lost your passion or love towards something, this stone will help you to regain it. Tugtupite is also capable of freeing you from grief stuck inside you and allow you to free those negative emotions and cleanse your aura.

“If the human heart could be seen as a dormant volcano, Tugtupite would be the earthquake that gets lava flowing again” – Robert Simmons, The Book of Stones.

This stone also enables you to express your feelings and emotions in the original form without controlling or getting confused with multiple emotions. Therefore, tugtupite is also great to relieve emotional numbness.

But you have to also be careful because one might tend to express too much of emotions all of a sudden if that person have kept too much of those hidden inside for a long time. Both joyful and sad emotions will be unearthed by tugtupite and hence one may even experience a stronger grief for a short period. But releasing these emotions without keeping hidden inside is beneficial in the long run.

Tugtupite opens the heart and it does not control how you manage the outflow of emotions. Being aware of this will help you to avoid any negative consequences.

Since it also improves the consciousness (this will be discussed under chakra healing), tugtupite will not be a blind activator of emotions. Therefore, being aware of the emotional outflow will not be as difficult as it may sound. You will be conscious of your emotions and therefore managing those will be also facilitated (not controlled though) by tugtupite.

Opening the heart of a person is beneficial in many aspects rather than being an emotionally numb and closed person. Even if there is any pain inside you from mistakes happened in the past, tugtupite energy will help to relieve those regrets.

2. Chakra Healing and Energy Balancing Benefits of Tugtupite

The effect of tugtupite on chakras is another important aspect of tugtupite metaphysical properties.

As it was mentioned earlier, tugtupite activate the heart chakra and its deepest energies. This powerful opening of the heart chakra enables proper energy flow for the upper chakras as well. This facilitates crown, third eye, throat and heart chakras to integrated and harmonize. All these chakras will be energized and you will feel joyfulness, emotionally and mentally as well.

Opening of higher chakras stimulates higher brain functions, resulting in improved consciousness. Stimulated upper chakras also enables connecting with higher realms and improves psychic abilities.

The opening of the heart chakra also helps in meditation as well as it encourages peaceful and calm qualities such as compassion and kindness to grow.

The opening of the upper chakras together with the heart chakra results in a visionary level of consciousness which is connected with the heart. A heart-centered higher consciousness encourages to spread the love and kindness to others.

3. Love and Relationship Benefits of Tugtupite

The effects of tugtupite can benefit you in your love life a great deal. This stone can help to regain the lost passion and love towards the partner in a relationship. As a healing stone for the heart, it reaches the highest vibrations bringing unconditional love.

The stone also stimulates self-love and make you aware of the importance of your actions to your own happiness. Therefore, this stone might be a good idea for those who often try to put the blame on others when they are unhappy.

There is a legend in Greenland which says that lovers can make the stone glow blazing red from their intense passion.

4. Physical Healing Benefits of Tugtupite

Tugtupite is not a stone renowned for physical healing benefits. However, it can be used to strengthen the heart and the nervous system. It also relieves seasonal affective disorder.

Another notable property of tugtupite is that, the white portion of tugtupite turned black in the presence of cancer and toxins. Some crystal healers claim that tugtupite is also capable of purifying the blood, improve hormone production and boost fertility.

Final Thoughts

As a powerful activator of the heart chakra and as a stone with remarkable energies to bring out emotions, tugtupite metaphysical properties are indeed impressive. Though it does not offer physical healing benefits as much as many other stones, its effect of improving the personal life and relationships are significant.

Since it is a very recent discovery, the knowledge available about the powers, benefits and healing properties of tugtupite is limited. But I believe I managed to cover the topic reasonably well and you managed to learn something new.

Some of you may wonder why I have used the term “purple amethyst” as amethyst is anyway a purple stone. That isn’t true always as there is green amethyst as well which is also referred to as “prasiolite”. But in the context of this article, please note that where I have mention just “amethyst”, I am only referring to “purple amethyst”.

Amethyst gemstone jewelry is extremely popular as the purple hue brings such class and brilliance to any jewelry. Purple amethyst is also the birthstone for the month of February and the zodiac sign Aquarius which makes it even more desirable to use in jewelry.

Amethyst gemstone brings a whole bunch of healing and metaphysical properties and therefore it plays a vital role in the crystal healing domain. Before going on to discuss various benefits and powers of amethyst, lets quickly go through some of its interesting historical facts.

(Check here for more technical information of amethyst)

History of Amethyst

The name “Amethyst” stems from the Greek word “ametusthos” which means “not drunk” or “not intoxicated”. There is an ancient story in Greek mythology which explains how this stone came to being and got this name.

As per the legend, the god of wine, Bacchus, was offended by an insult by a huntress named Diana (she was later treated as a goddess of hunting). To get his revenge, he declared that he will feed the first person to meet him to his tiger.The first person he met was a beautiful maiden name “Amethyst” on her way to worship the shrine of Diana. When the tiger was charging at her, she prayed to the gods to save her which resulted in turning her into a white shimmering crystal. This made Bacchus regret his actions and poured his purple color grape wine onto the crystal as an offering. This gave the stone its characteristic purple color and also its name. Influenced by this story, amethyst was believed throughout the history to protect from drunkenness.

Amethyst is also referred to as the “Couple’s Stone” and as the stone of faithful love. It is believed that St. Valentine has worn an amethyst ring with the cupid engraved on it. This is probably the reason why amethyst engagement rings are very popular.

Amethyst has long being associated with its positive influence on mind. But there are so many other purple amethyst meanings as well and I will present those under following sections.

  1. Spiritual Benefits
  2. Physical Healing Benefits
  3. Emotional Benefits

  6. Paranormal Powers

Let’s go through these one by one.

 

1. Spiritual Benefits of Purple Amethyst

Amethyst is known as a stone which provides spiritual protection and cleansing. It stimulates the mind and intuition and also believed to assist psychic abilities. Hence, amethyst helps to make the connection with the spiritual realm stronger. Therefore, amethyst is considered as a powerful stone for its spiritual benefits and effects in increasing intellectual capacity.Amethyst is also a well-known stone to support in meditation.

Amethyst energy also helps to activate the deeper mind and stimulates brain functions.When the deep mind is activated, you will be able to better understand the reality of life and the reasons for certain experiences or things happening in the present. This emotional balance of mind, which amethyst produce, helps a person to counteract the strong negative desires in mind such drug addictions (I will discuss more on this under the physical healing benefits).

2. Physical Healing Benefits of Purple Amethyst

Healing properties are also an important area in purple amethyst meaning. One of its best known benefits is its ability to curb bad addictions and habits. It can be used to help someone to stop using drugs, alcohol and smoking.

As discussed earlier, this effect of amethyst can be attributed to its ability to clear our mind and aura (energy field) from negative attachments and negative influences. It also helps to create a protective energy field around us to repel negative energies in the surrounding environment. This shield helps a person to protect his/her self from falling back to those addictions. Some refer to this protective shield as an energetic field of spiritual light.

Purple amethyst also helps to balance the nervous system and the brain during the withdrawal process from an addiction and in general as well. Amethyst is renowned for treating insomnia as it helps to calm the mind. (I have discussed more related benefits of amethyst in this article)

Amethyst helps to reduce stress and relive headaches. It is also believed to help to overcome tinnitus and nerve disorders.

Amethyst stimulates oxygenation of blood by improving absorption of oxygen and removing unwanted gases. It supports the digestive tract, heart and skin.

Improving the performance of endocrine glands and hormone production is another benefits of amethyst. Hence, it stimulates the sympathetic nervous system which is responsible for the rapid involuntary response of a body to stressful situations.

This stone strengthen the immune system and hence it is good again minor wounds. Amethyst elixir has proven to be great in treating arthritis.

 

3. Emotional Benefits of Purple Amethyst

The peaceful mind and the higher intellect this stone stimulates helps you to be logical and stop taking emotional and irrational decisions in life.

Amethyst is also helpful in understanding the reasons behind emotions, behaviors and practices of yourself and other people. With this knowledge, you will be able to help others to emotionally stabilize and change negative behaviors and also do the same for yourself.

Similarly to the stone’s ability to curb negative physical habits, purple amethyst also helps to alleviate negatively addictive thought patterns as well. When comes to addictions such as drugs and alcohol, it is important that the mind also gets free from such imbalances. The ability of amethyst to balance the brain and nervous system assists in building emotional stability required to free a person from such strong addictions.

4. Business and Work Related Benefits of Purple Amethyst

Amethyst brings a similar effect of “protective shield”to the physical environment where it is placed and crystals, geodes or clusters are used for this purpose. When one of these amethyst specimens are placed in a physical space, it brings the feeling of a protective energy field. Robert Simmons in “The Book Stones” refers this protective energy field experience as a “Bubble of Light”. Amethyst brings this protection to any physical space such as houses, offices, vehicles, hospital rooms, etc.

Amethyst is therefore recommended to almost any profession and also for patients as it helps to purify and maintain a clear energy field in the healing space. Those who are driving for long hours can also be benefited by amethyst by keeping it in the vehicle.

A balance between the body and the energy field can be achieved when wearing amethyst as a jewelry.

 

5. Chakra Healing and Energy Balancing

Amethyst activates the crown and third eye chakras and hence amethyst is great to improve psychic abilities and intuition.

Crown chakra is responsible for how we think and respond to the world. It is the core of our beliefs, values and spirituality. Third eye chakra controls our consciousness and awareness which makes it ideal for meditations.

 

6. Paranormal Powers of Purple Amethyst

As I have mentioned earlier in other articles, I am not a fan of paranormal activities and usage of crystals in such endeavors. But I will explain such benefits attributed with amethyst as some of you might find it useful.

Psychic abilities are stimulated by amethyst and the stone’s high frequency energy provides protection from low frequency energies which is valuable in psychic work. This high frequency energy provides a protective shield from dark spirits and psychic attacks and helps to stay clear and balanced.

Here is a video which shows a group mining for amethyst.

Cleaning the Amethyst Stone

It is advised to clear the energies of amethyst from time to time. If you are using it to treat another person, clean it after every use and if you are using it for yourself, clean it once every two weeks. If you are using it regularly for healing, better to clean it once a week.

The easiest way to cleanse an amethyst is by holding it under running water for one minute.

Final Thoughts

As one of the most popular gemstones ever, amethyst brings so much more value on top of its unique beauty. I discussed a range of purple amethyst meaning throughout the article covering many areas such as its spiritual, emotional, physical and work life benefits.

Purple amethyst is indeed a remarkable gemstone which will continue to play a dominant role in this particular domain.

So, without further due, let’s get started by going through some interesting facts of Owyhee blue opal briefly.

 

About Owyhee Blue Opal

Owyhee opal is a very new variety to join the opal family. It was first discovered in 2003 from the eastern Oregon in 2003. It got the name as it was found near the sacred Indian springs of Owyhee.

The main characteristic of Owyhee blue opal is its sky blue color which resembles the color of fine blue Chalcedony. One more thing to know about Owyhee opal is that it is mostly translucent when take out from earth but it will gradually become opaque. This transition is due to the fact that when the stone is exposed to air, the water contained inside the stone starts to evaporate.

As per a study done by a group of scientist, the blue color of Owyhee opal is due to a light scattering phenomenon known as Rayleigh scattering.  In the normal blue opal (from Peru and France), the color comes from copper silicate inclusions.

1. Chakra Healing and Energy Balancing

The Owyhee blue opal is a combination of pure blue ray and subtle gold patches which activates the throat chakra and the third eye chakra respectively.

This is a great combination as the third eye chakra controls the perception and throat chakra powers the speech and expression. With both activated, a person will be able to see with clarity,  speech and actions will be fueled with confidence and authority.

As the stone helps to clear and balance the throat chakra, it is highly useful for singers as well as speakers. The energy of the stone also helps a person to find the correct words and tones to convey the true meaning.

The Owyhee blue opal is great to overcome low confidence and other effects of blocked energies such as inability to take decisions, shyness, fear, inability to express, inhibition and feeling of powerlessness.

Since the stone injects clarity, the powers it awakens within us does not come out as aggression or arrogance. The powers will be coupled with softness as the mind is filled with certainty.  A person will choose words and actions with soft calm strength in order to strive to achieve his/her goals.

The energy of throat chakra in this stone is beneficial to the physical body as well and it can be used to treat numerous health conditions in the throat. It is useful for viral and bacterial inflammations, overuse of vocal codes or exposure to smoke.

As mentioned earlier, Owyhee blue opal is great for singers and speakers because it activates the throat chakra and the above mentioned ability of healing overused vocal codes makes the stone even more useful for such professions.

The stone has mild cooling effects for inflammations in other parts of the body as well.

 

3. Emotional Benefits

The Owyhee blue opal improves a person’s experience of positive emotions but without enhancing negative emotions.

It also makes one be logically fearless and encourages to take calculated risks. When someone is overly thinking about everything that can go wrong, it ads unnecessary fears. Energy of this stone helps a person to do what needs to be done and keep the focus and determination till the end.

Fire opals are contains silicic acid just like other opals but with a comparatively higher water content. The color of fire opal is unique and it comes from the iron oxide content.

Mexico is the world’s most famous mining destination for fire opals and hence it is also called “Mexican Opal”. The soil layer which contains fire opals runs all across Mexican highlands with many died volcanoes.  But several years ago, yellow to orange color fire opals were discovered from Brazil. Since then, Brazil has produced considerably large fire opals and it is becoming a popular source for this gemstone.

Fire opals are also mined in small quantities in countries like Guatemala, USA, Canada, Ethiopia, Turkey and Australia.

The hardness of Opal in the Mohs scale is 6 – 6.5, hence extra care should be taken when designing and making jewelry.

When comes to pricing of fire opal, color of the stone, transparency and play of color are the main deciding factors. The deeper the red color and higher the transparency with “fire”, more expensive it will be. The rarest and hence the most expensive is the strong red-orange fire opal from Mexico with a solid play of color.

(ME is simply the long-term fatigue and other symptoms which act as barriers for a person to carry out normal activities. Some of the other symptoms here are muscle pain, headache, memory issues, standing/sitting difficulties etc.)

Ametrine also stimulates the regeneration of the physical body. Therefore, the stone is useful in treating all degenerative diseases. Once such disease is the Alzheimer’s disease. The Alzheimer’s disease, which is a progressive disease causes the brain cells to degrade gradually and die.

Amethyst and Rose Quartz Meaning – An Awesome Combination

Amethyst and Rose Quartz Meaning – An Awesome Combination

When comes to crystal and gemstone healing, using a mix of crystals is a great way to use the synergetic power of different crystals. However, certain stone combinations can enhance the effect while some other combinations can negated the power of other stones.

If you are looking for the combined amethyst and rose quartz meaning, you have come to the correct place. In this article, I will go through the benefits using these stones together. But before that, let’s find out why this is a good stone combination to use.

Is Amethyst and Rose Quartz A Good Combination?

When comes combining crystals, there are some simple rules for you to decide whether a stone pair would actually work.

The easiest criteria to look at is the color. If both stones are of the same color, it will usually work well with each other in the energetic level.

The next criteria to check is whether both stones are from the same mineral group. For an example, amethyst and rose quartz are both from the quartz mineral group and hence it is a good indication that these two stone will work together.

The third factor is the crystal structure: whether two stones have the same crystal structure. If the stone combination you are looking at is from the same mineral group, the crystal structure would be the same.

If not, you can easily google and find the crystal structure of the stone of interest. For example, minerals like garnet, spinel, magnetite and pyrite have cubic crystal structures. Minerals such as agate, sapphire, jasper and tourmaline have trigonal crystal systems.

This is very basic guide on how you can decide whether two or more stones are compatible with each other. But before you use a specific combination, it is always better to google that specific combination and see whether it works.

In the case of our topic, amethyst and rose quartz are from the same mineral family and hence both have the same crystal structure. Therefore this is a good combination to use.

Now let us look at the benefits of using amethyst and rose quartz combination. It is important to note that there are common benefits of both stones as well as differences. When there are different benefits, the two stones will provide you a combination of those benefits.

In addition, I want to note that Amethyst is the birthstone for the month of February and zodiac sign Aquarius. Rose quartz is the birthstone for zodiac sign Taurus there is not month associated with rose quartz specifically.

(Before going further, I would like to give you a quick reminder that we have our own gemstones, crystals and mineral shop on Etsy where you will be able to browse through a nice collection)
