"One of the most beautiful formations of this brown tufted mineral occurs within amethyst. When in Amethyst, it is said to instill the concept of new things and new ideas to be brought forth. Provides a new mode of creativity and thought. This is a stone of ascension and is being used by many during the planetary alignments, world meditation and full and new moons. It can assist to increase spiritual awareness during these times and transfer healing energy to the Earth. Used in holistic treatments, it allows one to recognize all of the relationships between each integral part of the body, mind and emotion. Promotes healing and cellular renewal." - Love is in the Earth - A Kaleidoscope of Crystals by Melody (ISBN 0-9628190-3-4).

Cacoxenite within a crystal is highly sustaining in times of emotional upheaval, creating a peaceful space in which to withdraw. It assists one in overcoming fear and separating from the causes of stress. It allows one to release emotional bonds to relationships that are no longer serving one’s life purpose, and to strengthen the connection with others who more closely align with one’s true self. [Ahsian, 79-80][Hall, 81-82]

Hiddenite assists those who have difficulty in receiving due to feelings of unworthiness to overcome the misconception that financial wealth or possessions are the true measure of one's worth. It reveals how truly precious one is to the Creator, and when one stops to receive the love of the Divine, the feelings of true abundance and overwhelming gratitude in that moment supersedes all other needs. Living focused on the gifts one is receiving each moment creates a more joyous life.

When the crown chakra is out of balance or its energy is blocked, you will feel clumsy, uncoordinated, and at sorts with life. You will stumble in both movement and thought. You will be uninspired and out of step. The world will seem to be spinning, and you will be unsure of who you are or why you even exist. You will be rigid in your thinking, and be spiritually adrift. Your consciousness will be limited, and possibilities will not appear to you. You will have difficulty understanding relationships, ideas, and dreams. Use an Amethyst or an Amethyst with Cacoxenite to restore the balance in your spirit energy of the crown chakra.

Amethyst is a very popular and effective meditation crystal. Amethyst helps you visualize new ideas, helps you solidify ideas into reality, and helps your mind focus on its internal creative powers. Amethyst with Cacoxenite is a meditation stone to be used when you are in a period of significant emotional upheaval.
