Gaia stone is a glassy material derived from the ash of the Mount St. Helens volcanic eruption of 1980. These gems are rightly named Gaia Stones, for they carry the heart chakra energy of the soul of the Earth. The volcanic eruption which deposited their raw substance brought forth essence from the planetary interior, and the stones made from it can serve to open the heart and to bring one into resonance with the heart of the Earth. This type of attunement is vastly important in our current times, when it is so vital that humans begin to connect more deeply with the Earth. We must learn to have compassion for our planet, because it is only in co-creative inter-dependency with the rhythms and energetic flows of the Earth that we will find the harmony that will assure humanity's survival here. To consciously wear or carry one of these gifts from the heart of the Earth is to open oneself to making contact with the Goddess of the Earth.

Gaia Stone promotes loving relationships between people. It is an ideal gift for one's romantic partner, as its energies promote the growth of love and intimacy. It can be used to heal tensions between parents and children, or between any estranged members of a family or friendship circle. It is ideal for bringing harmonious accord to groups and can be quite useful if worn or carried into committee meetings. Gaia Stone induces compassion and diffuses anger. It dissolves the psychic barriers between "us" and "them", making tolerance more possible. It can assist one in negotiations where one must try to persuade an unsympathetic person to understand one's point of view.

Gaia Stones are Goddess stones, and one may use them to send and receive love to and from any aspect of the Divine Feminine. They are particularly resonant with the Tibetan deity known as Green Tara, who offers love and protection to humans.

Because they are among the purest representations of the Green Ray, Gaia Stones can be used to heal and soothe the heart and to energize the emotional body. The Green Ray of Gaia Stone supports healthy growth on all levels of one's inner and outer life.

These gems are recommended for those doing self-healing of emotional wounds, and for those who wish to centre in the heart and act from that place. Gaia Stones carry a strong energy of compassion, and they can help one expand that quality in oneself. Healers can use the stones on clients for heart chakra activation and to bring harmony to all chakras.

Gaia Stone is an aid for psychic development. It increases clairvoyant and telepathic abilities. It encourages past-life recall. It can be used in rituals for the increase of prosperity. It attracts good luck and aids those who are starting new ventures. Crystal therapists use Gaia Stone to ease tension headaches, stress, gastric upsets, anxiety and all agitated emotional states. It has also been used to aid fertility and bring ease to the heart and lungs. It is helpful in healing eye conditions and has been used to release stress stored within the muscles of the eye.
