Danburite Gemstones
One of the less well known gemstones first discovered in the
USA is Danburite, a calcium boric silicate first discovered in 1839 in Danbury,
Connecticut. The city of Danbury is better known as the birthplace of Charles
Ives (1874-1954), arguably the greatest American musical composer.
Danburite was discovered by Charles Upham Shephard
(1804-1866), an eminent American mineralogist who was for many years professor
of natural history at Amherst College. Shepard began his career as assistant to
Benjamin Silliman at Yale University.
Danburite is usually colorless to very light pink in color,
but some deposits may produce specimens in shades of light yellow or brown.
Danburite is known for its excellent transparency and clarity.
By chemical composition, danburite is a calcium aluminum
borate silicate. It is quite hard, with a rating of 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale.
Since it has a reasonably high refractive index (6.30 to 6.36), in the same
range as tourmaline, the material can be faceted with good results. Danburite
has very little cleavage, so it is easy for lapidaries to cut. Danburite's
density is 2.97 to 3.03, about the same as jadeite.
Though danburite was first discovered in Danbury,
Connecticut, the original deposit is buried under the city. Other deposits have
been found in Burma, Japan, Madagascar, Mexico and Russia. Much of the
danburite in today's market comes from Mexico.
Market interest in danburite derives from the fact that
there are relatively few hard clear gems available at an affordable price.
Since danburite can be found in larger sizes -- often up to 10 carats -- it
completes mainly with rock crystal (quartz), white topaz and white zircon.
Danburite facilitates deep change and the ability to leave
the past behind.
Danburite is a very spiritual stone that carries a pure
vibration. It is excellent for relief of stress and worry. Hold a danburite in
each hand for a calming effect and to prepare for deep meditation.
Some
uses of Danburite are:
Restful sleep, lucid dreaming
Promotes angelic communication
Stimulates heart chakra
Opens one to Divine Source
Karmic cleanser
Healing properties of Danburite
Spiritual and emotional healing, brings a positive outlook
on life.
Danburite Crystal...
How Does It Aid Enlightenment?
Danburite is a highly spiritual healing stone that gently
yet powerfully opens the crown chakra then links and attunes it with the heart
chakra. It is a healing crystal with a very sweet and pure vibration, with an
energy that is extremely uplifting to the spirit.
This combination activates the intellect and higher
consciousness from a heart based perspective. How does this aid enlightenment?
Because it may also activate the higher etheric transpersonal chakras... right
up to the fourteen level... this is a stone known to aid enlightenment.
All colors of this stone are amazing vehicles for
enlightenment and spiritual growth.... including the clear crystals... as well
as the pink, the lovely golden stones and the newest color... which is the
beautiful angel aura crystals.
How To
Use It and How Will It Help You?
It is easy to buy pieces of this crystal, and you may also
find it made into jewelry. These stones are on the Zodiac Birthstones list as
they are a Leo birthstone. Wearing this stone on your body as jewelry makes it
easy to keep its energy within your auric field during the course of the day.
Another good idea is to either place a piece on your bedside
or under your pillow at night... so that the energy will benefit you for as
long as possible.
They are wonderful for those of you who experience stress
and worry, and provide excellent ways to relieve stress.
Using it may aid healing of family conflict by promoting
peace and harmony. It encourages the heart to resonate with Divine love which
also promotes self love.
Twin crystals like the one on the left, are formed when two
of these stones grow together, and are excellent stones to aid relationships.
The healing of the emotions that is aided by these crystals,
is one of its greatest healing attributes... and it may assist you to heal any
relationship problems as you begin to live from your heart.
Who
Should Use It
Golden Yellow Danburite connects you to the sweetness of
etheric music. Their fine high vibrations are intensely uplifting... and will
aid you with connecting with angels and the universal mind.
Another wonderful gift that this stone gives us is to use it
for lucid dreaming. To lucid dream is to be very aware of what is happening
while dreaming, almost as if you are awake.
The amount of awareness varies from person to person. Many
people who use this crystal will find that they remember the dream as if it
actually happened.
Combine Scolecite or Seraphinite with it and the experience
will be even more profound. Use the Golden variety with Nirvana Quartz in
meditation to aid you to make a deeper
connection with the golden light and to
Christ consciousness.
As a healing crystal it is a powerful stone to clear
allergic conditions. It has a strong cleansing and detoxifying action, as it
works through the liver to remove unwanted toxins. It may also heal the
muscular structure of the body. If difficulty with sleeping is your problem,
holding one in each hand should allow you to calm the mind chatter of a busy
day and slip into restful sleep.
There is a new color and slightly different type of this
crystal that has become available... which is known as either Opal Aura or
Angel Aura Danburite. Either name is correct, and this is when the clear
crystals have been put through the same procedure that is used to create Aqua
Aura Quartz.
They use the same minerals that are used to create Angel
Aura Quartz or Opal Aura Quartz... which are different names for the same aura
quartz crystal. The way they do this, is that they heat the crystal... and
during this process, vaporized silver and platinum become permanently bonded to
the surface of the stone.
This procedure creates quite beautiful crystals, with an
opalescent sheen that have some different qualities to the normal clear color
of these crystals.
The main differences between the Angel Aura crystals and the
normal clear stones is that they assist you to make an even higher connection
to the higher realms, and to the angelic beings there.
If like many others you have found that you are going
through a tremendous amount of spiritual change at this time, you could find
that this crystal may benefit you.
This coating helps with spiritual growth and awakening...
and is another tool that you may choose to use to aid this ongoing situation. I
chose to get a piece that had been made into a pendant... as I felt it is
beneficial to keep it on your body... and what better way than wearing a
pendant.
You may be pleasantly surprised to find that using the Opal
Aura Danburite crystal has a quite profound effect on you... as they assist you
in letting go of fear. Used in meditation they can take you to a very high
level where some people experience out of body effects and you may feel much
lighter and more peaceful afterwards.
In
Summary
Danburite helps you by opening your heart fully to the
Divine source, so you may find yourself becoming more in tune. And you may
become truly enlightened ... something that is surely needed in these
interesting times in which we are living.
