Anhydrite - The Stone of Clarity, Balance and Inner Wisdom

Anhydrite is a rare and fascinating mineral that symbolizes awareness, insight, and self-reflection. Its name comes from the Greek word anhydros, meaning “without water,” referring to the process where gypsum dehydrates and transforms into Anhydrite. The mineral typically appears in light blue, grey, white or even lavender tones with a glassy to pearly shine.

Anhydrite is best known as the parent mineral of Angelite, which forms when Anhydrite absorbs moisture. Although it has only recently been recognized as a gemstone, it has long been valued for its calming energy and its ability to bring inner peace.

Because of its subtle beauty and spiritual appearance, Anhydrite is sometimes used in jewelry such as pendants, bracelets, and necklaces. When worn close to the skin, it supports a sense of clarity, calm and connection with your higher self.

Physical properties of Anhydrite

Anhydrite has a soothing, relaxing effect on both body and mind. Its energy supports the release of tension, especially in the neck, shoulders, and throat. Since the stone is closely connected to the throat area, it can help soften the throat and support easier breathing.

It may also help regulate fluid balance in the body and support the lymphatic system. Anhydrite brings harmony to the physical system and encourages a healthy flow of energy. Many people experience better sleep and recovery after stressful periods when working with this stone.
