Goshenite is a crystal of purity, clarity, and divine connection. It is said to enhance intuition and psychic abilities, and to facilitate communication with spiritual beings and higher realms of consciousness. Goshenite is also believed to aid in mental clarity, focus, and decision-making, and to promote a sense of inner peace and tranquility. It is associated with the crown chakra and the element of air and is said to promote spiritual growth and enlightenment. Goshenite is also said to be a useful crystal for meditation and can be placed on the crown chakra or held during meditation to enhance its effects.
In medieval times, Goshenite was used by alchemists in their quest for the Philosopher’s Stone, as it was believed to be a key ingredient in the transformation of base metals into gold.
Goshenite is a colorless variety of beryl, which is a mineral that forms in hexagonal prisms. It is usually found in pegmatites, which are large and coarse-grained igneous rocks. Goshenite gets its colorlessness from its purity, as it contains no impurities or trace elements that would add color. However, some specimens of Goshenite may contain tiny bubbles or inclusions that create a shimmering effect known as “snowflake” Goshenite.
Goshenite works well with other crystals and stones that promote clarity, focus, and spiritual growth, such as Clear Quartz, Moldavite and Amethyst. It can also be combined with grounding stones such as Hematite or Black Tourmaline to balance its airy energy.
