This crystal was known as the 'Stone of Power' with many cultures using the stone in rituals and tribal ceremonies to draws in the light, in addition to negative energy. These positive phenomenal powers made this stone an important defence against psychic attack, emotional and environmental stress, and it is to be considered as a vital part of healing and meditation.
