Named red oxide of zinc in 1810 by archibald Bruce and later renamed Zincite.Zincite is an excellent stone for transformation. Because Zincite was an “accidental” stone resulting from a fire in a zinc mine in Poland, it has become a stone of happy surprises, innovation, and vitality. Zincite attracts abundance at a physical and spiritual level, assists with the rise of Kundalini energy, and enhances gut instincts and intuition. Zincite heals shock and trauma and instills the courage to deal with traumatic situations. It ameliorates depression and releases painful memories so that these can be laid to rest.

Zincite activates and awakens the whole kundalini. It does that with quite some power like a shaktipath from bottom up. This is the only crystal that actually created a beep tone in our ears for days - that is how powerful it is.

It is also the best crystal for desires (wish-fulfulling) as it finds ways to make it happen or dissolve the desire all together - whatever is best for you

Zincite cleanses the lower chakras, enabling the higher ones to become more energized. Those who are not able to perceive the energy of most crystals will be able to experience Zincite’s joyful energy and use it to their advantage. Zincite is a stone of creativity that will enable its user to bring other like-minded folks together to work towards a common goal. A great stone for artists, writers, entrepreneurs, as well as gardeners and even those who just want to experiment with new ideas and new ways of doing things.

Physically, Zincite is a healing stone that aids the immune system, fights infections, increases vitality and assists with both male/female reproductive disorders.

We have found that all Zincite, regardless of its color rays seems to be aligned with the First Chakra, the Base Chakra which is located at the base of the spine and radiating through the legs and feet. This is the grounding Chakra and deals with the health of the physical body. When it is out of balance you will feel flighty and physically adrift. This cluster can be used effectively in crystal healing when the Base Chakra is in need of realignment.

It is suggested that this crystal cluster be used in areas where you exercise or recover from your exercise.Zincites used in meditation when you wish to escape from the mundane world on a "flight of fancy."

If you walk in a crystal shop and feel the different crystals you normally end up with Zincite being the strongest and most powerful of them all. And if you have a hard time feeling crystals in the first place, your best bet is zincite or cryolite.

It is also the most powerful combi of first and second chakra (Muladhara & Svadhishthana) openers. Combine this with Hematite, which is the best grounding crystal, and you have a magic combination, zincite going up and hematite going down. Purely looking at the second chakra (Svadhishthana) only, then Chevkenite is the most powerful opener and purely looking at the first (muladhara), then uraninite is the most powerful opener.
