Goshenite Beryl Metaphysical Information and Artisan Jewelry from Shimmerlings

Scientific Properties:
Mohs Hardness of 7.5 with a hexagonal crystal structure.

A low dispersion for this gem may contribute to the infrequent use of it as a desired gem, even despite the excellent hardness, and resistance to corrosive substances.

Goshenite is found worldwide, and it occurs in such large quantities that often inclusions in goshenite are rarely tolerated when using for gem purposes.

Since the 1st century A.D., the good qualities of colorless beryl have made it an ideal substitute for other colorless gemstones. Silver or green foil is often placed behind the faceted colorless beryl and mounted in a closed setting to create imitations of diamonds and emeralds. Doublets and triplets are constructed by "sandwiching" sections with colored cement or a thin slice of a synthetic or natural gemstone are used to simulate other valuable gems. The slice of natural gemstone could contain inclusions specific to the imitated gem. Bezel mounts hide the junctures at the girdles of such creations and make the substitution difficult to detect.

Beryl has been worn to prevent fascination, or what would today be called deliberate psychic manipulation, such as practiced by evangelists, some salespersons and politicians. This is also called being tagged or corded, when an individual attaches an astral line to your astral body, generally through the solar plexus (3rd) chakra. Through this cord they may be able to drain your energy and even manipulate your actions if they posses enough strength.

If this happens, tape a small piece of tumbled beryl over your navel and leave in place for as long as it takes to break the cording, generally a full 24 hours.

Chakra Classification:
Goshenite uses the chakras to expand it's own energy throughout the physical body. As a result all of the chakra become cleared, aligned and expanded; which in turn enhances one's own ability to take more of the corresponding color ray of the chakra in.

With this increased flow of energy from higher planes, the being is purified, introducing a higher vibration throughout, increasing the capacities of sustaining additional light. The more light one is able to retain, the closer one functions as the pure essence of being that we are meant to.
