What are Fossil Coral Crystals Good For?
All crystals have healing properties associated with them that explain what they're "good for." Fossil Coral has four healing properties that can help you determine if it fits the needs of your healing practice.
Healing Property 1: Grounding
Many crystals are known as grounding stones. This essentially means that the crystal is believed to bring you closer to the Earth and stabilize your life. When you're feeling stressed or anxious, you might be feeling off-balance or like you don't have control over your life.
It is believed that using Fossil Coral crystals in your healing practice can help ground you when things feel out of your hands. It is celebrated for relieving feelings of stress and anxiety and centering your.
Healing Property 2: Stability
The second healing property associated with Fossil Coral goes along with the first. Grounding comes with a sense of stability. A lot of the time, feelings of instability come from emotional imbalance. One emotion might be overpowering the others, making it easy to lose focus and to not feel like yourself.
Many healers have used Fossil Coral for emotional balance and to promote feelings of inner peace. It is meant to quiet the mind and recalibrate your being. It brings your mind and body back in conversation with one another, leaving you feeling stable.
Healing Property 3: Renewal
Fossil Coral is also associated with renewal. If you've ever had the urge to runaway and start somewhere new, this crystal is believed to give you the courage to reinvent yourself. When you're feeling stuck and are yearning for change, this could be a very powerful crystal to use in your practice.
This stone is celebrated for bringing about change. It opens you up to new opportunities and encourages you to say yes to something new. It could be as big as accepting a job in a new city or as small as cutting your hair.
Healing Property 4: Perspective
Finally, this crystal is associated with perspective. We're all resistant to exploring new perspectives. Especially when we have strong beliefs and feel certain about what's right and what's wrong. Even if you don't completely change your perspective or end up completely disagreeing with others, there is power in looking at life through someone else's point-of-view.
It is believed that Fossil Coral can help you embrace new perspectives. When you have a problem and can't seem to find a solution, this crystal can help you view it from a different lens. It can encourage you to be more compassionate to others and begin to understand where they're coming from.
These four healing properties are what Fossil Coral is known for. If the above healing properties resonate with what you're hoping to accomplish with your healing practice, it could be a sign that Fossil Coral is right for you. Crystal healing is all about intention and goal-setting—this is why it's important to know what healing properties a crystal is associated with before you decide to incorporate it into your practice.
What Chakra is Fossil Coral Aligned With?
Fossil Coral is primarily aligned with the root chakra. The root chakra is associated with our physical identity and what makes us feel grounded. When it's blocked, you might notice a sense of instability or feel unsure of who you are. It is believed that you can use Fossil Coral to unblock the root chakra, leaving you certain in your identity.
What Zodiac Sign Should Wear Fossil Coral Crystal Jewelry?
While Fossil Coral isn't the traditional birthstone for any month, it is believe that the Taurus zodiac sign has strong connections to the stone. Taureans are very resilient—when life throws unexpected obstacles their way, they're quick to overcome. The grounding and stability that comes with Fossil Coral can make it a little easier for a Taurus to overcome hardships.
Taureans also tend to be very stubborn and cautious. It can be hard for a Taurus to stray from their opinions or make spontaneous decisions. The renewal and perspective that Fossil Coral provides can help a Taurus loosen up a bit. They might be encouraged to try something new or more likely to hear others opinions when it comes to decision making.
How to Cleanse Fossil Coral Crystal Jewelry
Crystals are sensitive to energy—energy also plays a large role in crystal healing. Ideally, when you're wearing your Fossil Coral crystal jewelry or using it for healing, it'd be charged with positive energy. This isn't always going to be the case, especially when you first receive your crystal element.
There's a chance that during shipping and handling, your Fossil Coral came into contact with negative energy. You will also encounter negative energy in your regular life when you wear your Fossil Coral crystal jewelry often. That's nothing to worry about! You can cleanse your crystal jewelry to get rid of negative energy.
Usually, we have a few different methods of cleansing that you can use on your crystal jewelry. Fossil Coral is unique because the crystal can be easily damaged. Since it's porous from the fossilized coral, it easily absorbs what it comes into contact with. This means you'll want to avoid exposing it to any harsh, household chemicals. Exposure could cause your Fossil Coral crystal jewelry to stain.
Fossil Coral is also very sensitive to heat and light. This means you don't want to expose it long to any extreme heat or to the sun. Prolonged exposure can alter the color of your Fossil Coral.
The suggested method of cleansing a Fossil Coral crystal is washing it with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth. You want to be gentle when you're cleaning your crystal because it can be easily scratched. Use luke-warm water from the tap and a mild dish soap to wash away any negative energy. Make sure you rinse off any soap residue and allow your crystal to completely dry before use.
Every month or so, you'll want to wash your crystal to remove any negative energy it might have come into contact with through daily wear. Keep an eye on your Fossil Coral as you wear it to make sure you don't notice any color changes or staining.
Practice Crystal Healing With Fossil Coral
Now that you know how to get rid of negative energy from your crystal, it's time to use it in your healing practice. The first step of crystal healing, regardless of the crystal you're using, is to get rid of any doubts you might be harboring. It's important that you fully open your mind to the possibilities of crystal healing. Bringing in hesitancies to your practice can hinder its full effectiveness.
Once you've let go of your skepticisms, you'll want to set an intention for your practice. An intention is what you're hoping to work through or gain from crystal healing. It should be specific and aligned to the healing properties of the crystal you're using in your practice.
For Fossil Coral, you might consider setting an intention to find the courage to embrace a new opportunity and thrive in a new setting.
Once you've decided what your intention will be, write it down somewhere you can easily access. Then take your Fossil Coral crystal jewelry in your hands and speak your intention into it a few times. This can help solidify what your goal for the practice is. As you go through your daily life, remember what your intention is and make decisions that align with it.
As time passes, you might feel like you've accomplished what you set out, or that your intention is no longer relevant. That's okay—life is constantly changing and our priorities are constantly evolving. To set a new intention, wash your Fossil Coral with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water and repeat the intention-setting process.
