Chrysoberyl stone is precious. In color, it can be yellow with a golden hue. This gave him the name, which is translated from Greek as "golden". Inside the stone, there are small channels and fibers that make each piece unique.
Where did the stone come from
The history of this stone is filled with mystery. The mineral itself was described relatively recently. But, judging by reliable historical sources, this stone was already known several thousand years ago. Its properties were considered magical even by the ancient yogis, who left cave paintings around the 2nd century BC. Among them, it was considered a stone with which a person could purify and correct his karma. But Tibetan treatises tell about cases of healing with the help of this stone, which took place about four thousand years ago.
In Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome there are references to the stone chrysoberyl. As it turned out, all the stones that had a color similar to it were endowed with this name. Over time, they were given other names: topaz, chrysolite, and so on.
The scientist A. G. Werner began to write scientifically about chrysoberyl itself in 1790. After him, this topic was raised by other scientists who were amazed by their properties of newly discovered stones.
Appearance and varieties
What do these mysterious stones look like? They can be transparent, and different shades of green, and yellow. But not only color distinguishes various chrysoberyls. It turns out that these minerals have several varieties. The most valuable of them is alexandrite. It is named after the Russian Emperor Alexander II. The first such stone was found in the Urals. His beauty was astounding. The stone had the ability to change its color depending on the lighting.
Tsimofan has the effect of "cat's eye". This happens due to iron impurities. In order to make the effect of the stone more obvious, jewelers process it to create a smooth, convex surface. This treatment is called a cabochon and helps the stone reveal its beauty.
Most recently, in 2011, another chrysoberyl was discovered, which was named Mariinskite. They prefer not to make jewelry from ordinary chrysoberyl, since without additional impurities the stone looks dull.
Healing properties
The monks of Tibet often used stones to treat various diseases. All minerals were divided into three types. The first type included stones that heal physical diseases. The second type helped to establish a connection with the deity and listen to his will in order to follow it. But the stones of the third type were considered the strongest and most valuable. From theirwith the help of any person it was possible to predict fate, and sometimes even influence it.
Healing properties of chrysoberyl stone are mentioned in the ancient Russian "Izbornik Svyatoslav". According to the author, this stone was primarily a healer for the person who wore it. Chrysoberyl natural stone has a powerful energy, which he generously shares with his owner. In Russia, it was believed that the owner of such a mineral at any feast could remain sober for the longest time, which means that he knew how to restrain himself in time and not allow hops to create obscenities. In the morning, chrysoberyl relieves hangovers and possible poisoning with harmful substances. If a person falls ill with scabies and even leprosy, then you need to give him this particular stone. When a person was noticed nervous excitability or mental deviation, it was considered right to give him jewelry with chrysoberyl.
If it was necessary to improve the condition of the blood, then they also turned to this mineral for help. In addition, with the help of chrysoberyl they treated shortness of breath, raised people after severe injuries, treated vision and concussion. However, perhaps its most important quality was considered to be the ability to return men to their sexual power. Women in Russia adorned themselves and loved ones with this stone, sincerely believing that it could repel magical attacks from them. In addition, if you give a ring with such a stone to your spouse, then no matter how far he is from home, chrysoberyl will not allow him to forget his family and cheat on his wife. If you decorate with this mighty stone not only yourself, but alsoitems in the bedroom, then family happiness is inevitable.
And yet it was believed that the stone itself is looking for its owner. If a person felt that the jewelry with chrysoberyl was pressing on him, if he felt discomfort and anxiety in it, then the stone rejects him. The decoration should be given to the one whom the mineral recognizes as the owner.
If chrysoberyl suddenly cracked or fell out of the frame, the owner knew: the strength of his amulet was depleted. Wearing such an ornament was now considered dangerous, since the stone began to exude all the negative energy that it had received during the service to its owner. The stone needed to be returned to the ground so that it would again gather its deep strength there.
Who will the stone bring good luck
Who suits the properties of chrysoberyl stone? The mineral has earned great respect from people who are building their careers. It is believed that it brings clarity of thought, the ability to calmly make decisions in the most difficult situations. Helps to adequately get out of any delicate situation. Businessmen also prefer to receive the help of the noble alexandrite stone, which motivates the owner to new achievements. Respect this stone and professional players. It is believed that the hidden presence of this stone, for example, hidden in the form of a pendant under a shirt, helps to memorize combinations, analyze the situation, and also makes it possible to see when an opponent is bluffing.
If a series of failures suddenly began in a person's life, it is worth buying jewelry with ordinary chrysoberyl. He will take away all the negativeenergy that a person has accumulated himself or that was sent to him from outside in the form of an evil eye, curse or damage. For those who believe in such things, the stone will be a reliable protector.
Compatibility with a stone according to the sign of the zodiac
As astrologers say, chrysoberyl is not the friendliest stone, especially alexandrite. It is categorically contraindicated for Cancers. The chrysoberyl stone does not reveal its properties to the sign, since people born at this time have the energy of the full moon.
Alexandrite is considered a stone that absorbs solar energy. But ordinary chrysoberyl or cymophane brings calm, confidence to the same sign, helps to think not emotionally, but analytically. In the same way, the stone affects Virgo and Sagittarius. Any chrysoberyl is suitable for Scorpio and Gemini. For Aries and Capricorns, the stone becomes a good helper in making friends and expanding connections. Taurus helps to restore peace of mind. But for Aquarius there is no worse stone. They should avoid it in any form. As you can see, the properties of chrysoberyl stone bring joy not to all signs of the zodiac.
Deposits
More recently, these stones were mined in the Urals. But now all its deposits are frozen. The main suppliers of the beloved stone are Africa and Madagascar, Sri Lanka and Ceylon, Brazil. Sometimes high-quality stones are found in Australia, in the United States. This mineral can be grown artificially. And yet, natural stones are distinguished by their bright appearance. And an energetically artificial stone is not able to help at all.
As you can see in the photo, captive-bred chrysoberyl stone is very different from its wild counterpart.
What the stone is made of
The presence of chromium or iron in the stone of chrysoberyl-alexandrite helps it turn from green or blue-green during the day to purple-red at night. The stone itself does not differ much from diamond in hardness. And they process it by cutting it so that it can demonstrate all the colors contained in it.
Chrysoberyl stone contains no silicon, but there are vanadium and nickel, copper and cob alt. They are the basis of simple yellow chrysoberyl, usually transparent.
How to recognize a fake
Sometimes a stone is so well crafted that it's almost impossible to tell if it's real or fake. In addition, there is so much light in jewelry stores that the radiance of jewelry is confusing. Be sure to ask the product to check it for fakes. A real stone is quite heavy, and heats up for a long time. If you scratch it with a sharp object, then there will be no trace left. And by tapping a stone on any objects, you can hear a characteristic sound. As you can see, it is easy to distinguish a natural chrysoberyl stone from a fake one if you previously had the same stone. For the rest, you will have to rely on the conscientiousness of jewelers.
Beauty or usefulness
Alexandrite and cymophane are often used in jewelry. Their colors and textures are so varied thatable to satisfy any connoisseur of jewelry. But ordinary chrysoberyls are not successful because of the dullness of the surface and the scarcity of colors. They do not seek to fake. So if you need a stone not for decoration, but for creating amulets, feel free to buy inexpensive and nondescript greenish beads. This stone is the most conflict-free for everyone except Aquarius. Its energy is pure, without impurities, which give its more expensive counterparts not only beauty, but also some negative features. Despite its inconspicuousness, the stone prefers to be in gold or platinum. Then he draws strength not only from himself, but also from the noble metal. In a silver setting, the stone is often lost. Other metals depress him. If it is not possible to give him a precious frame, natural or leather thread will be a worthy alternative.
