The “Stone of Tolerance and Tranquility” and sometimes called the “Stone of Patience”; dumortierite is a mineral that embodies the notion “the deeper you dig, the higher you grow”. To best understand the inspiration of this crystal let’s think of a tree and its roots. The tree must dig its roots deep into the ground in order to grow to great heights. It does this both for stability and for sustenance. The roots may not always be visible to our physical eyes, but those roots are just as deep as the tree is tall and without them, the tree simply could not exist. This crystal works to help us access our roots, to help us dig them deeper so that we may have a more solid foundation for growth. 

Dumortierite is a high vibrational yet grounding stone that awakens the pineal gland and facilitates a connection to our higher self and inner guidance. It works to help us understand who we are and how we got to be the soul we are today. This can be very helpful in all healing and growth efforts as we can find the root cause for dis-ease and disharmony within our system. Allowing us to address negative or outdated behavioral patterns, addictions, and a lack of true love for oneself. This crystal opens and amplifies our innate psychic abilities and helps us to improve our quality of character by providing an understanding of our lessons so that we may implement positive change into our lives.
