Color of the day: Blue Incense of the day: Maple Incense of the day: Maple Rutile is a black, prismatic crystal that can be found in igneous and metamorphic rocks worldwide. In rutilated quartz, rutile appears as tiny needle-like inclusions. Although it can come in other colors-such as blue, red, gray, and brown-the black variety is useful for filtering out past unpleasant memories that impact subconsciously upon the soul in a negative way. It is a gentle mediator and guides its owner whenever self-confrontation is required for clearing away old cobwebs and for achieving clarity regarding one's direction in life. For those with low self-esteem, rutile dispels feelings of self-contempt. When going through stages of what some would term the "dark nights of the soul," obtain a few small rutiles for placing around the home, bedroom, workplace, and for carrying on the person. |
