Bronzite

Bronzite is a greenish-brown variety of hypersthene. It has a bronze-like luster and is a collector’s stone. Bronzite is usually dark, slightly brittle, and unsuitable for use in jewelry. It is common for polished bronzite to display a brassy effect while platy inclusions are visible on its surface.

Bronzite is a black and brown colored stone. It appears as a mottled crystal. The stone facilitates simply ‘being’, entering a dynamic state of non-action and non-doing. Spiritually, this is the perfect stone if you have difficulty instilling yourself. So, it brings total serenity. Marketed as effective against curses and sold as a magical protector, bronzite turns back ill-wishing and negative thoughts.

However, it returns spells, curses, or ill-wishing back to the source considerably magnified, perpetuating the problem as it ‘bounces’ forward and backward. It becomes stronger each time and makes the ill-wisher feel extremely ill while the ‘recipient’ remains protected but aware of the energetic disturbance.

It is more effective to use bronzite in combination with black tourmaline, as this absorbs the ill-wishing, immediately stopping the interaction and taking attention away from the source.

Psychologically, this ‘stone of courtesy’ strengthens non-judgmental discernment, pinpoints your most important choices, and promotes decisive action. This protective, grounding crystal is handy when you feel powerless in discordant situations or are in the grip of events beyond your control. Holding bronzite increases self-assertion, restores composure, and assists in keeping a cool head.

With this assistance, you can take an objective perspective and see the bigger picture. It is helpful for overcoming stress and reversing willfulness. Bronzite teaches how to go with the flow of divine will. If you have become stuck in any negative pattern, bronzite releases it.

Physically, it is useful for supporting and balancing masculine yang energy within the body or psyche.
