————————————————————————————————————— Rainbow Bismuth is a uniquely beautiful crystal. To find one that is naturally formed is incredibly rare and most on the market are lab grown. Interestingly, it is also the 83rd element on the Periodic Table! Notice how the crystal has step-like formations? Bismuth helps us to transform our lives, easing us as we transition through each of life’s ebbs and flows—step by step, breath by breath. It heralds the beauty of connection in life as it brings to the surface feelings of seclusion and isolation so that we can work through them with love and understanding. Bismuth reminds us that we are all interconnected to everything, reflections of one another, much like the gradient colors seen on its pyramid-like formations. What often comes to mind for me when I gaze into Bismuth’s luminous sheen is that each and every one of us is one and all colors of the rainbow, beautifully reflected off of Bismuth’s surface. Intimately touching and intricately connected. And each experience we have with another is a stepping stone in our cosmic world. While life may seem like a maze, much like Bismuth’s labyrinth, there is always an end to the madness. There is always a ledge to climb. Another amazing quality of Bismuth is it’s ability to help when working in group settings. It encourages cohesion and togetherness; a beautiful crystal to have for all relationships. For meditation purposes, Bismuth is very useful in Shamanic journeying as its gorgeous iridescent hues allows us to dive deeply into the the layers of our subconscious and that of the etheric realms. It works through all chakra points, from our crown to our root, and sweeps through the auric field to helps us feel more balanced and stable. While many people find it easy to slip into meditative states, others often have trouble focusing. Bismuth can be very helpful in this area! It helps to open up our channels, enhancing our visualizations, all the while grounding us as it shields our auras from negativity. For artists, creative types or anyone who wishes to express themselves creatively, Bismuth helps to focus our attention and evokes inspiration. Not only this, Bismuth also helps us with self-actualization. There are often times when we lose sight of what might be blocking our paths. With Bismuth’s help, we are able to tune in and find clarity in what needs to shift so that we may move forward with grace and ease. Bismuth also helps us to step out of the victim mentality, to forgive and release self-pity. It reminds us of the reality of what we may be enduring in life and how the unfolding of certain life situations are all for a greater purpose. —————————————————————————————————————

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO CLEANSE MY CRYSTALS?
We encourage everyone to cleanse their crystals before programming them with their intentions. Although crystals have a fixed molecular structure, they will often absorb the energies around them. It is especially important to cleanse your crystals after purchasing them from stores as you never know who may have touched them or what passing energies they have been in the company of. —————————————————————————————————————
HOW DO I CLEANSE MY CRYSTALS?
There are a number of ways to cleanse your crystals! Using your own intention to cleanse them can be very effective! However, it is important to note that you must be in a good state of mind as whatever mind chatter may inadvertently program the crystal. You can also cleanse them with the energies of the moon or sun, bury them in the Earth, wash them in running water, smudge with sage or Palo santo, or bathe them in salt water. Methods to do so are plentiful and your intuition would serve you well in figuring out what is best for the crystal! However, it is important to also mention that not all crystals can be placed in water as they will disintegrate. Leaving some crystals in the sun for too long may even fade the color. Doing further research on how to care for your specific crystal will help greatly! ***We do NOT advise that you cleanse your Bismuth in water as it will break down***
