Chlorite is a common group of sheet silicate minerals that often appear as microscopic inclusions within other crystals, most famously within Quartz, creating "Phantom Quartz" or "Lodolite" . It is typically dark green, olive green, or brown-green, and is sometimes mistaken for Jade or Serpentine. Chlorite itself is generally too soft to be polished into fine jewellery, but its presence dramatically changes the appearance and energy of its host stone, giving it a dull to pearly lustre.

Chlorite is known as the "Stone of Cleansing and Purification." It is regarded as one of the most powerful cleansing agents in the mineral kingdom, known for its ability to absorb and remove negative energy, toxins, and environmental pollutants from both the body and the aura. It encourages a strong connection to nature and facilitates self-healing. By aiding in the release of self-limiting beliefs and emotional attachments, it promotes spiritual growth and acceptance.

Hardness: 2 to 2.5 on the Mohs scale (it is a very soft mineral).

Chakra: Primarily the Heart Chakra (for cleansing and connection to nature) and the Root Chakra (for grounding and stability).

Zodiac Sign: Capricorn, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Aries.

Benefits: Offers powerful energetic cleansing and detoxification, absorbs and removes negative energy, aids in self-healing and recovery from illness, promotes connection to nature and the Earth, and facilitates the release of emotional attachments and resentment.

Source: USA, India, China, and worldwide (it is a very common mineral).

How to use Chlorite

Place it in your home: Keep a piece of Chlorite or Chlorite Quartz in rooms where you need continuous clearing of stagnant or negative energy, such as an unwell person's room or a shared office space.

Meditate with it: Hold the stone during meditation to facilitate a full aura cleanse, visualising the green energy drawing out all toxins, negative thoughts, and emotional residue from your body.

Carry it: Carry a piece when spending time outdoors or working with environmental issues to enhance your connection to the Earth and promote ecological awareness.

Wear it: Due to its softness, Chlorite is best worn when set securely in a pendant, allowing its cleansing energy to work directly on the Heart Chakra without risk of damage.

Use for healing: Place the stone directly on areas of the body that feel unwell or on the Heart Chakra during rest to support the body’s natural process of detoxification and recovery.
