Powerful protective stone, particularly against natural forces, has a calming effect on people and animals afraid of storms. Allegedly protects against radiation (computers, cell phones etc.).

If you tend to forget that you are essentially a spiritual creature, pietersite helps remind you of this. As a spiritual power stone, it is a good guide on spiritual journeys, promotes intuition, opens the third eye and stimulates the pineal gland. If you feel a need to raise awareness and forge a connection with the source of your inner wisdom, this crystal will facilitate this journey, too. It’s said that the stone may cause powerful energy charges and the need to exponentially develop your spiritual powers.

The stone supports willpower, clarifies confusion, removes pointless obstacles and frees you from beliefs and unnecessary agreements forced upon you. A suitable stone for truth-seekers, as it supports sincerity and honesty and lets you talk openly about everything and inquire into the reasons that keep you from reaching truth. If you are dwelling on long-ago conflicts or have a knot of suppressed emotions boiling within you somewhere, this crystal will help you rid yourself of them and shake off your dependencies as well. As a enhancer of self-confidence, it is suitable for creative people who doubt in their talents.
