Shattuckite: speaking clearly from your intuition

Shattuckite helps you find the words for what is really going on inside you. This deep blue gemstone is known as a stone of honest communication and gentle intuition. Perhaps you recognize the feeling that your thoughts are clear, yet they get stuck somewhere between your head and your mouth, or that you would rather stay silent out of fear of hurting someone. Shattuckite is associated with calmly and clearly expressing your truth, without that sharp edge. She invites you to speak from your heart while listening to your inner voice. This makes her a beloved stone for anyone who wants to express themselves more freely and purely.

Physical Properties Shattuckite

On an energetic level, Shattuckite is often connected to the throat and the head. It is a copper silicate, and copper has long been seen as a conductor of energy. Many people therefore experience Shattuckite as a stone that allows the flow between thinking and speaking to run more smoothly. She is associated with a sense of clarity, as if space opens up where there used to be tension. Some people keep Shattuckite close during moments of overstimulation to find a little more calm in the head. The deep blue color suits this soothing character and makes her a stone you like to carry close to you.

Please note: gemstones can offer support on an emotional and energetic level, but are never a substitute for medical or professional care. If you have any complaints or concerns, always consult your physician.

Spiritual Properties

In the crystal world, Shattuckite is mainly seen as a stone of intuition and pure communication. She is said to help you put your higher truth into words and to convey your thoughts in a way that truly lands with the other person. Anyone who struggles to be honest without hurting others finds a gentle ally in Shattuckite. She links clear thinking to the feeling of the heart, so that your words can stay both honest and kind.

In addition, Shattuckite is known as a stone for intuitive gifts and inner knowing. Many people use her during meditation to hear their inner voice more clearly and to gain trust in what they feel inside. She is associated with strengthening the connection between your intuition and your everyday choices.

Shattuckite is also historically interesting. She was first described in 1915, after being found in the Shattuck Mine in Bisbee, Arizona. She owes her name to that mine. Because she was discovered so recently and is relatively rare, she has no centuries old traditions, but precisely for that reason she has quickly earned her own place within modern crystal practice as a stone of the word and of truth.

Chakras

Throat Chakra

Shattuckite is most strongly associated with the Throat Chakra, the center of expression and honesty. When this Throat Chakra is in balance, you find the right words more easily and dare to say what you feel. Shattuckite is seen as a stone that supports this open and clear communication.

Third Eye Chakra

The Third Eye Chakra is the center of intuition and insight, and connects to the spiritual working of Shattuckite. Many people use the stone to hear their inner voice more clearly and to trust more in what they feel inside. In this way she helps connect thinking and sensing with each other.

Heart Chakra

Through the Heart Chakra, Shattuckite brings warmth into your communication. The stone is associated with speaking from love, so that honesty and kindness go hand in hand. As a result your words stay gentle, even when you have to say something difficult.

Care

Shattuckite is a relatively soft copper stone, so she asks for a little extra care. Cleanse her preferably with the smoke of Sage or Palo Santo, because this is a dry and safe method. If you want to cleanse her energetically, place her on a bed of Hematite Chips. To charge her, you can place her on a layer of Rock Crystal Chips. Avoid water, because as a copper silicate Shattuckite is sensitive to it and the surface can be damaged. Also keep her out of prolonged direct sunlight, as the beautiful blue color can fade. Store her separately from harder stones, so no scratches appear.

More information about the cleansing and charging of gemstones can be found in our blog "The cleansing and charging of gemstones".
