Epidote

The Epidote is a silicate group mineral that is commonly found among metamorphic rocks. The colour of the crystal is almost always green, in all different shades and tones. R.J. Hauy first described the stone in 1801. It was named after the Greek word meaning “increase”.

The crystal does what its name implies. It would be best if you handled it with great care. If you feel unwell on any of the days, you are angry and not in the mood - it is recommended to keep the Epidote as far away from you as possible. Meanwhile, if you are full of good, loving emotions, the crystal will help you reach the maximum of these feelings. Epidote does not provide a “free ride”. It very much is a karma-based stone that attracts what you output.

This stone is beneficial in the journey of spiritual growth. The mineral will help you understand yourself in various aspects. It can be helpful if you consciously try to abandon a particular approach to achieve the highest results. By meditating with it, you will bring abundance, prosperity and creativity into your life. It is believed that the crystal serves those seeking new love and helps dreams to acquire physical form.

The stone has a positive effect on health. It will strengthen the immune system and calm the nervous system. It is said to help the adrenal glands, gallbladder, liver, thyroid gland and brain.
