The boys are almost finished, minor changes and adjustments. Started working on the background. Today I put the Aegirine crystal in my hand and held it for a few moments, meditating with it. Then I laid it on my drawing paper as I worked.
When I attended the MUM Expo last week I was looking at crystals and minerals at the Odds and Ends Corner and one of the owners happened across me and we started discussing crystals and minerals. He asked me what I do, I told him I was an artist. He asked me if I'd ever seen Aegirine, no - I haven't. He went over plucked a piece and put it in my hand, told me it would eliminate negative thoughts, replace them with positive and help me to follow my heart. So I got home, researched it further and found all this information about a mineral I never knew existed!
Crystal Vaults provided this definition of Aegirine:
The beautiful, black blades of Aegirine rise from its host rock like the legendary Sword in the Stone waiting for someone to draw upon its power to make all things right. A Stone of Integrity and Self, Aegirine is a most noble crystal, aligning with one's truest convictions in life and providing the courage and confidence to follow those convictions. It encourages acceptance of self and others, and to follow the heart.
With its connection to the earth and the natural world, Aegirine activates a strong, protective energy, guarding the aura and physical body, as well as fortifying the Spirit in times of difficulty. It eliminates negative thoughts, energies and attachments, and replaces them with the Light of the positive. It promotes wholeness and healing.
Aegirine is a member of the Pyroxene group, a sodium iron silicate that forms as long, prismatic crystals often terminated by a steep asymmetrical pyramid. It may also form as compact and fibrous disseminated grains. Opaque to translucent, it is dark in color, most often black, though sometimes greenish-black or brownish-black, and is commonly found in alkali-rich volcanic rock. Discovered in Norway, Aegirine is named for the Norse god of the sea, Aegir, and is also known as Acmite, from the Greek word meaning "point."
Interesting stuff.
