Merkaba Stars - Trolleite (6)

Beautifully carved and polished trolleite merkaba stars.

This shape amplifies the beauty of this amethyst from Brazil. In Ancient Egypt, the Mer-Ka-Ba was three words. Mer meant a kind of light that rotated within itself, Ka meant the human spirit and Ba, the human body. So Merkaba means a rotating light that would take the spirit and the body from one world or form into another. It can be activated by meditation, with the breathe and by changes in perception.

Trolleite is a fairly rare phosphate mineral that contains quartz, lazulite and scorzalite, the later often resulting in a very blue colour. This unusually hard mineral with a greasy lustre is usually found in large masses. It was first discovered in Sweden in 1868 but has since been found in other locations, including Brazil and USA.

In healing terms, this crystal is said to bring cellular memories into conscious understanding by propelling the user back in time, before human existence, then into future possibilities. It is also good for clearing and releasing. This is an excellent crystal for divination and meditation.
