Pargasite is a powerful crystal centered in the 3rd chakra pulling the heard down into the power center behind the navel. It helps digestion in a unique way by bringing life energy into the digestive process.

I was very surprised by this one as it was way more powerful than similar crystals such as diopside and tremolite and I expected it to be similar. Named in 1814 by Count Fabian Gotthard von Steinheil for the locality in the Pargas Valley, Finland, where it was originally found. Pargasite is a member of the Amphibole group (Actinolite is also a member of this group). It is transparent to translucent and is most commonly found in a lime-green color.Pargasite clears the heart chakra helping to eliminate negative emotions of fear, guilt, anger and blame with a gentle loving energy. Pargasite assists those seeking spiritual truth and enlightenment. Pargasite supports spiritual growth, helping to bring to conscious awareness attachments which are no longer serving.

Pargasite works with the Heart chakra to slowly and gently break down those “walls” that we have built up over time to protect ourselves from hurt. Pargasite is your gentle support in this healing process. The pale green of Pargasite's energy will surround your heart with empathy and compassion for self and others.

This is a crystal to be used for facing our fears, releasing past trauma, and encouraging forgiveness. Pargasite is a happy crystal that helps ease depression and gets us all smiling again.

Physically, Pargasite can help with issues of the heart, throat and respiratory system. Keep Pargasite with you throughout the day to keep away the doldrums and face each moment with a sense humor, love and joy.
