PETALITE — Crystal For Stress Relief

Petalite is a crystal for stress relief. It creates a calm, relaxing vibrational environment. The energy of this crystal is so soft and calming, so steady and balancing, that it can easily lift the mind during any meditation practice. To this crystal, we can associate the energy centers located in the upper part of the body. Those are the centers that surpass the ordinary levels of consciousness.

The color of Petalite is white, beige, brownish, pale to intense pink, gray, or bright green. This crystal can be opaque to translucent, and is rarely transparent. Judging by outer appearance, it looks remarkably like Quartz, but it is rarer and relatively expensive mineral.

Notable occurrences are in Brazil, Madagascar, Namibia, Australia, China, Sweden, and Finland.

Formula: Li/AlSi₄O₁₀

Hardness: 6–6.5

In composition, Petalite is a silicate mineral with some excess of aluminum and lithium. The name of this stone is derived from the Greek word, petalos, meaning “leaf”.

Even a small piece of Petalite can be extremely powerful. One can use it for preparing potent elixirs as well.

In crystal therapy, the benefits and healing powers of Petalite find their full potential, especially when it comes to regulating the lymphatic system and production of hormones. Petalite helps harmonize the endocrine system and balance the system of meridians. In case of serious diseases, such as AIDS and cancer, Petalite is believed to initiate cellular regeneration. It cleanses the lungs and intestines and helps on the level of body’s musculoskeletal system. Petalite is also beneficial for treating eye diseases.

Pink Petalite strengthens the astral body, freeing it from fears, and worries. This is a crystal of compassion that will provide inner flexibility and release stress. When performing self-healing, pink Petalite will be even more efficient if combined with Rose Quartz or other pink or red crystals, such as Ruby, Morganite, and pink Tourmaline.
