-Healing 
-Promotes overall health and well being.
-Psychic growth
-Nurtures and grounds
-Chakra: Root Chakra
-Balance
-Evolution
-Calming
-Element: Ocean
-Communication 

Septarians formed between 50 to 70 million years ago. As a result of volcanic eruptions, dead sea life was chemically attracted to the sediment around them, forming mud balls. As the ocean receded, the balls dried and cracked. Due to their bentonite content they also shrank in size, creating the cracks inside. As decomposed shells seeped down into the cracks in the mud balls, calcite crystals formed. The outer thin walls of calcite then transformed into aragonite. Some believe the name Septarian came from the Latin word "septem", meaning seven, but actually the name is due to the septarian concretions.  They are concretions containing angular cavities or cracks, which are called "septaria". The word comes from the Latin word septum; "partition", and refers to the cracks/separations in this kind of rock.

In meditation Septarian brings calming and nurturing energies. It can elicit feelings of joy and hope. Septarian can enhance the communication with groups, making it easier to speak clearly and kindly in group settings. A wonderful mineral to use in meditations with Mother Earth.

Ammonite Metaphysical Properties Highlight

The Ammonite first appeared in the oceans of the Devonian (circa 400 million years ago) and became extinct at the close of the Cretaceous (66 Mya) along with the dinosaurs. 

 Historically it is said that the original discus used by the ancient Greeks in their Olympics was in fact a fossilized ammonite. In India, ammonite fossils are identified with the god Vishnu and are used in ceremonies. Many are collected in Nepal, from the bed of the River Gandaki. These fossils are known as "shaligram shila". The word ammonite is derived from Ammon, an Egyptian god who took the form of a ram. Ammonites are similar in appearance to a ram's horn. 

 Ammonite and nautiloid fossils have been prized from antiquity for their logarithmic spiral. About the Nautilus Spiral in Sacred Geometry: 

 The main feature of the Nautilus is the large snail-like shell that is coiled upwards and lined with mother-of-pearl. The shell is subdivided into as many as 30 chambers. As the shell grows, its body moves forward into the new larger chamber and produces a wall to seal off the older chambers. The empty chambers are used to regulate buoyancy. A cross-section of the shell of the Nautilus will show the cycles of its growth as a series of chambers arranged in a precise Golden Mean spiral. 

 The Golden Mean is represented by the Greek letter phi, (with the decimal representation of 1.6180...) is one of those mysterious natural numbers that seems to arise out of the basic structure of our cosmos. Phi appears regularly in the realm of things that grow and unfold in steps just as the Nautilus shell grows larger on each spiral by phi. 

 With each revolution completing a cycle of evolution, the Golden Mean Spiral is symbolic of life’s unfolding mysteries. The continuous curves of the spirals, which are feminine in nature, and the ratios between each of the chambers reveal the intimate relationship between the harmonics of nature and Sacred Geometry. 

 Sacred Geometry 

 Sacred Geometry is a term used to describe the basic building blocks of the universe. This ancient science explores and explains the physical and energy patterns that create and unify all things and reveals the way that the Universe of creation organizes itself. Every natural pattern of growth or movement conforms inevitably to one or more geometric shapes. From the molecules of our DNA to the galaxy we spiral within, life and it's forms emerge out of geometric codes. 

 The earliest known proprietors of Sacred Geometry were the Egyptians who embedded its secrets in the ground plans of their temples, their frescoes and in the Giza pyramid. Although these enlightened people used geometry for terrestrial applications, hence the word 'geo-metry' or 'measure of the earth', the aim was metaphysical in nature. 

 Sacred Geometry reflects the universe, its pure forms and the dynamic relationship of our selves to nature -- the inseparable relationship of the part to the whole. By studying the Sacred Geometry of one thing we give meaning and structural insight into the workings of the inner self. As the renowned geometer Robert Lawlor observes, "The implicit goal of this education was to enable the mind to become a channel through which the 'earth' (the level of manifested form) could receive the abstract, cosmic life of the heavens. The practice of geometry was an approach to the way in which the universe is ordered and sustained. Geometric diagrams can be contemplated as still moments revealing a continuous, timeless, universal action generally hidden from our sensory perception. Thus a seemingly common mathematical activity can become a discipline for intellectual and spiritual insight. From "Sacred Geometry the Nautilus Shell", for more information you can visit http://2muchfun.info/nautilusshell.html

 In Hindu religion they are held sacred as saligram, a reminder of the unfolding of the universe by Lord Vishnu the creator. Its spiral shape symbolizes continual change and evolution. Ammonites have absorbed cosmic energy over eons of time and help to stimulate the life force (Chi)  within. The Ammonite is also put in the home to attract health, prosperity and success. The Ammonite draws off negative energies like a filter, drawing in stagnant energies and moving them through the spirals then releasing them as fresh, positive, loving life force energies. Ammonite is a stone of protection. It provides for insight and it helps to assist one in seeing the ‘entire picture.’ Meditation with the Root Chakra, encourages ones survival instincts and grounding. 

 Folk Remedies: Believed to ease birthing pains and bring relaxation. It helps to remind us to keep breathing, due to its circular design. 

Feng Shui: Ammonite is believed by Feng Shui masters to be associated to the scales of the mythical creature "Chi Lin" Therefore, it is said to be a powerful wealth stone and brings prosperity, grandeur and illustrious sons, similar to the potency of the Chi Lin.

 A Lightbrary is a clear Cathedral Quartz Formation. Natural citrine is one of the rarer types of quartz available. Some of the most beautiful and sought-after specimens come from the Congo region, like the one pictured here.

Lightbrary crystals are said to contain information stored in the language of light from the Akashic Records. The smaller points are often referred to as students gathered around the Master Teacher. This configuration helps the meditator's subconscious open to the process of the transition from student to Master. This crystals have been used to overcome fear, anxiety, uncertainty, and other obstacles that hold one from moving forward. They can be a source of strength and courage.  Lightbraries do not give up their information easily, one must be diligent in ones meditation practices and grounded in self-awareness to begin unlocking their wisdom.

 Citrine is one of only two minerals (Kyanite is the other) that never need to be cleared, making it a great tool for transmuting negative energy. Citrine can assist in heightening one’s self-discipline, attracting professional success and wealth. Citrine will help support the energy of a family environment whether you have it at work or at home.

Physically, Citrine can support and enhance healing for the spine, the digestive and elimination organs, and even the metabolism.  Citrine can facilitate detoxification and can even stimulate circulation.  Often used for chronic fatigue, Citrine has a reputation of being able to increase one’s energy and drive.  This property can also help those who are trying to lose weight, by encouraging one to be optimistic about accomplishing their goals.
