Gibbsite calms the emotional body and helps one flow through difficult thought patterns and feelings. The energies are comparable to that of a wave, as you begin working with it the vibrations begin to build up within. This will help push uneasy emotions to the surface. Although it may feel like a crashing effect of emotions, like a wave breaching the shoreline, it is extremely short-lived and only makes you stronger. You can only hold on to trauma for so long before it begins to have a negative residual effect on you and the ones around you. Gibbsite focuses on the resolution and helps you look internally for solutions rather than outwardly. When processing emotions, life itself can become difficult, but it is supposed to! Things that weigh on us take time to release and crystals such as Gibbsite sometimes amplify and expedite that process. Once these emotions begin to subside and pull back, space begins to open up within allowing for growth, love, strength, and prosperous energies.

Jet is commonly used as a stone of protection, yet it also carries some wonderful healing properties, including pain relief for headaches/migraines and enhanced healing of traumatic injuries. Working almost like an energetic filter, Jet is a wonderful grounding stone that has intense purification and protection properties.  Jet is known for clearing the aura of impure energies and is an important stone for the medicine bag.  Jet can be used to cleanse other crystals by placing them in a bowl with several smaller pieces of Jet.  Jet can also be helpful for those experiencing an overabundance of negative energies or emotions, and has traditionally been used as a stone to alleviate grief.  Not only does it draw off negative vibrations, but Jet can help the victim of these vibes to understand their original purpose and the lesson to be learned.  Sensitives or empaths who suffer from exposure to negativity in the environment should carry a piece of Jet with them while exposed. Jet is known to work synergistically with Moldavite, and can assist those who are trying to do void meditation work.  Jet is a great ally to all on the spiritual path, due to its perfect combination of protective vibrations.  Jet can facilitate the release of negative behavior patterns and old emotional attachments, freeing the individual for rapid personal growth.  Jet can be used in combination with virtually all other stones for healing purposes.  Those suffering from nervousness and hyperactive children may find a calming benefit from Jet, as it integrates higher vibrations into the lower chakras and brings a soothing sense of wholeness to the individual. Also known as a stone of good luck, Jet makes a great gift for the person starting a new job or beginning a new business pursuit.  Jet can bring clarity to a confusing situation by bringing unique insights from variant perspectives.  Those who are struggling through multiple trials and tribulations will appreciate Jet's supportive energies.
