Properties:
The bi-pyramidal shape of this crystal is associated with the element Air and with the Heart Chakra, and symbolises humanity, compassion, heaven/earth link, and ‘the Spirit of the natural world’. As such it can be used to treat stress, lack of clarity and confusion. Anatase helps us to view problems from all angles, thereby making it easier to find a clear and decisive solution. In healing, it can be used to treat sinus problems, but otherwise is useful mainly on a mental and spiritual level.
