Category: Danburite

Danburite is a calcium boron silicate that belongs to the silicate class of minerals. Danburite is one of the lesser known minerals even though it is a relatively common mineral. ​It was officially named after the place in which it was first discovered in 1839 – Danbury, Connecticut (USA). People who admire clear quartz will like the different look of danburite. Its diamond-shaped cross-section and wedge like termination is a contrast to quartz’s hexagonal prisms and pyramidal terminations. Danburite can be found in Mexico, Japan, Myanmar, USA and Switzerland.

Danburite is a lovely crystal that looks similar to Quartz. But while Quartz crystals grow in pointed pyramids, Danburite has a blunted wedge-like shape and is slightly harder, similar to a Topaz. It is usually white or colorless, but occasionally can be yellow or pink. In the 20th century it became popular with metaphysical healers who noticed its high and sweet vibration. It is a stone of peace and Light. It is a favorite among reiki practitioners who channel Light either by laying-on-of-hands or through distance-healing.

Danburite is a calming stone that centers you and assists you in speaking your mind without hurting others feelings. It enables you to speak your truth without retribution.  Do you sing, act, speak in public, dance or socialize, then Danburite is for you as it helps you overcome stage fright and gives you confidence thus enabling you to embrace these activities with enthusiasm and confidence. This stone will clear unwanted emotions from the past, so that you can move into your future without the emotional baggage of the past.

Whether you’ve recently suffered a loss or have had to adjust to life without a loved one for many years, Danburite helps to relieve pain and lessen the weight of grief. While grief may make us feel that our worlds have been turned upside down, this centering crystal helps us to regain a sense of stability as we relearn how to manage each day.

Danburite has a very soft and high vibration which brings peace to our mind and heart. It provides a connection between us and the Divine and all the angelic realms. It is particularly good for helping us to feel the presence of our loved ones who have passed over. It promises us that anything that we don’t understand right now, will one day be made clear and until then, we are being watched over, guided and loved. Danburite is one of the very best stones for reiki healers to work with. It is also an excellent meditation crystal especially for serious seekers of enlightenment.

It is both subtle and dazzling; well-formed crystals of Danburite gleam and sparkle with soft colors that give it an angelic, ethereal essence. While it can have a gentle appearance, it is a tough mineral. Danburite ranks at about 7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, higher than Quartz.
