Collection: Third Eye Chakra

Here are stones traditionally associated with intuition, perspective, and inner seeing. People come to this collection when they are working with dreams, sitting with a decision that logic alone will not settle, or building a steadier meditation practice.

What the third eye chakra is traditionally associated with

Ajna, the third eye, is traditionally placed between and slightly above the brows. It is associated with the color indigo and with light itself, the subtle element that traditional teachings assign to perception rather than to matter. It is connected with insight, imagination, memory, and the quiet knowing that arrives before you can explain it. Traditionally it is approached with patience rather than effort, which is part of why so many people pair these stones with a regular sitting practice.

Stones traditionally used for third eye work

Amethyst is the great classic, long associated with clarity and contemplative calm. Labradorite, with its flash of blue and gold, is worked with for imagination and inner vision. Lapis lazuli is traditionally linked with wisdom and self-knowledge. Purple fluorite is favored for organizing scattered thinking. Iolite has been called a stone of inner journeys. Azurite is associated with deep insight, sodalite with clear reasoning, and clear quartz is worked with to amplify whatever intention you set alongside it.

How to work with them

• Rest a smooth stone on the brow while lying down for five quiet minutes.
• Keep amethyst or labradorite on the nightstand and note what you remember on waking.
• Hold a stone while journaling on a question you have not been able to answer directly.
• Use one piece as a meditation anchor and return to the same stone each time you sit.

The third eye specimens at Healing Stone Beings are hand-chosen, frequently one of a kind, and picked for the quality of their color and flash. Browse the collection and see which one holds your attention longest.
