Tanzanite - Color, Facts, Power, Mythology, History And Myths

Relatively a new, but an incredibly beautiful stone in the world of stones and gems, Tanzanite has no illustrious an ancient history as the other stones have, but it is still an extremely demanded and popular precious stone due to the spectacular looks that it owns.

It is one of the most prized crystals of all due to its metaphysical properties of spiritual discovery, and getting together all features of communication and intuitive power. It is hence also called as the “Stone of Magic”. Tanzanite is one of the most fascinating and enviable precious of today’s modern world.  

Where is Tanzanite found?

Tanzanite is relatively a costly and rarely occurring stone and is found only in Tanzania, East Africa from where it has got its name too.

Healing Properties

Tanzanite has proved to be beneficial in following ways:

  • Physical Healer

Tanzanite is believed to build up the immune system, improve liveliness, and detoxify the blood. It promotes the restoration of cells, skin and hair, and shelter against the offshoots of surgical or medical involvement. It is also believed to bring out one from the state of comatose or exhaustion.

Tanzanite is also thought to be caring towards the psychological turmoil, trauma, and nervous tension and is exceptionally good for those who suffer excessive sweating. It may alleviate the severe pains of migraine and in conjunction to all this it is also believed to cure the problem of chronic alcoholism.

  • Emotional Healer

Tanzanite produces the energy in the body of the wearer, which brings pleasure and relief from the unnecessary tensions. It opens the insight of the wearer and inspires him to feel more compassionate and loving.

Tanzanite helps in triumphing over experiences of disasters and fear and re-builds the trust of the wearer. It helps in solving the queries related to the meaning of life. Tanzanite allows one to be grounded and express the true feelings.

  • Spiritual Healer

The high vibrational energies of Tanzanite and its power of shifting colors elevate the consciousness of the wearer. It links to spirit guides, Ascended Masters, angelic realms, and Christ realization. It helps in deep profound meditation and also assists the wearer to accept the changes of life. It is also a stone that supports karmic healing.

  • Heals and Balances Chakra

Tanzanite stimulates the Third Eye, Throat, and Crown Chakras, connecting the higher mind with impulse and communication. Tanzanite encompasses a blue crystal energy that inspires the Throat chakra, which is considered as the voice of the body. By unblocking the throat chakra, Tanzanite lets the wearer express openly, and without hesitation his beliefs, thoughts and ideas. Tanzanite is also considered great for unblocking the brow or the third eye chakra thereby directing the wearer and keeping his inner strength healthy and vibrant.

Tanzanite also heals and balances the crown chakra, which is the fountainhead of the spirituality and the beliefs a person encompasses. When the crown chakra is in balance the wearer feels tranquil and calm in any situation whether good or bad and does not loose the temper fast.
