Additional Information

Carborundum balances the chakras, and is calming and gently grounding. It shields and protects, particularly in cases of electromagnetic stress.

Carborundum allows for inner expansion in an orderly and organised manner, as if each individual cell has been allocated the same amount of space around it. In spite of the dark colouration of the stone, its general mood is light and happy.

Note: Carborundum is extremely hard, and is capable of scratching glass and all other crystals apart from diamond, so care should be taken not to scratch tables or other surfaces.

Carborundum is a man made creation, it’s exotic, iridescent, rainbow covered spikes are like something from a gothic fairy tale. (It’s scientific name is Silicon Carbide, it is made in Poland).

This crystal was created in the 1800’s in an attempt to create diamonds using electricity.

Carborundum is thought to be a master healer that shines light in all areas of your life and connects to all chakras, purifies mind, body and spirit.  It encourages intuition and discernment, eye strain and any computer related injuries.
