Analcime
A variety of Zeolite
What is Analcime?
Analcime is a unique mineral that can actually cause itself to crystallize without outside interference. It was named in 1901 after the Greek term for "not strong," which is in reference to its inability to produce electricity when heated. Its crystals are not very hard, which is not surprising given that they are made predominately of sodium and aluminum.
Healing Properties
Analcime is often used to increase mental clarity, boost creativity, and strengthen leadership roles. It is beneficial to anyone in strict working environments to help prevent feelings of burn-out or loss of individuality. It offers balance and harmony and is often useful in team work and group activities. Meditating with this stone may alleviate stress, build self-confidence, and offer the user a more positive outlook.
