Bastnaesite (also spelled Bastnasite) brings us information from ancient earth cultures, as old as Mother Earth herself. This is a crystal that carries the energy of wood nymphs, fairy realms, and mystical forests. Bastnaesite helps to achieve a profound connection with every aspect of nature.

Bastnaesite is especially helpful for those who heal with herbs and other plant medicines. It will help one retain information as one studies these healing modalities.

Bastnaesite, working with the Root chakra, grounds and connects us with Mother Earth.

Physically, Bastnaesite may ease physical trauma and help heal from traumatic experiences. Bastnaesite will assist with blood and blood related issues.
