The 12 Healing Celtic Crystals

Celtic Crystals #9 – Preseli (Bluestone)

The Preseli Bluestone is the stone that was used at the Stonehenge standing stones. This stone only occurs in one place in the entire world, Carn Meini in the Preseli Mountains. This site is now protected, and stones can no longer be taken, but the stones that are being sold were mined many years ago before this law took effect. That makes them a unique item because eventually, they will run out. The properties of Preseli stone include help with dream work, past life recall, willpower, spiritual gift enhancer, powerful as a meditation stone and has been used for protection, energy enhancer, dowsing and for receiving messages. Keep a piece close to you in your working environment or under your pillow. These stones make a strong earth connection and are excellent for grounding and create a connection to the heart of nature. They are associated with the Third Eye and their ability to help develop psychic intuition. Legend has it that Merlin transported stones from the Preseli Hills to Stonehenge for the construction of Camelot and King Arthur’s Round Table. The Welsh legends called the “Tales of Youth,” come from The Preseli Hills, and it is said that the way into “Annwn,” the Welsh fairyland, can be found here too. Indeed, Pentre Ifan sometimes called “The Womb of Cerridwen,” which is also built of Preseli Bluestone and located within the Preseli Hills is said to be one of the main gateways into the realm of Fairies.

Celtic Crystals #10 – River Stones

Rivers, streams, springs, wells, and lakes are all sacred bodies of water in the Celtic belief system. Stones found along these bodies of waters, wells, and rivers are all considered sacred mementos. Formed in the mountains that have been plucked from the ground by rain, floods, and landslides, these stones are then rolled and tumbled by the river for hundreds even thousands of miles until they are round and polished. Riverstone promotes rapid change. It can be used with other gemstones for a clearer intention. These stone are believed to carry sacred powers such as protection, good luck, and act as a powerful talisman.

Celtic Crystals #11 – Snow White Quartz

Also known as Snow Quartz or Milky Quartz, it is a variety of Rock Quartz crystal with microscopic water bubbles and inclusions of carbon dioxide. This gives the stone it’s “snowy,” white, or “milky” appearance. Snow White Quartz is the Observation Stone. Like the introspective and contemplative time of winter, this unique stone allows us to notice more the actions around us, both good and bad, helping us to perhaps see ourselves a little better. It can help us to meditate on parts of our personality that we admire and those we need to change. Compelling us from thought to action. Snow White Quartz represents the wonder and innocence of pure snow. It gives us the hopefulness of a new bride on her wedding day and the child-like innocence we all should remember. It is also associated with the white-haired sage, filled with good advice and wisdom, who need not constantly express it, but to just “be” with it. Therefore, the stone represents a gentle calm and soothing stone useful for meditation and the seeking of wisdom or truth through our “inner journey.” We learn life lessons through compassion and empathy, and this stone allows a clearer mental picture to invite these traits inward to us.
