ATTRIBUTES: Rhyolite ignites the potential and creativity of the soul. It facilitates change without enforcing it, assists in fulfilling quests and facilitates knowing from a soul level. It can access karmic wisdom. Strengthening soul, body, and mind, Rhyolite is immensely helpful when exploring the full extent of the self.

This stone facilitates a deep state of meditation in which inner and outer journeys may be made.

A useful stone for past-life healing, Rhyolite processes the past and integrates it with the present. It brings things to a resolution, no matter where the source of difficulties may have been, and actively encourages moving forward. This is an excellent stone to keep you anchored in the present moment rather than harking back to the past.

Psychologically, Rhyolite enhances self-esteem and self-worth. It imparts a sense of self-respect and acceptance of your true self.

Mentally, Rhyolite imparts the strength to deal calmly with challenging life circumstances and brings awareness of one's own strength.

Emotionally, Rhyolite has a balancing effect, gently facilitating emotional release where this is appropriate.

HEALING: Rhyolite fortifies the body's natural resistance. It treats veins, rashes, skin disorders, and infections, and improves assimilation of B vitamins. It can dissolve kidney stones and hardened tissue. As an elixir, Rhyolite gives strength and improves muscle tone.

POSITION: Wear or position as appropriate. Place on the forehead for past-life regression (under the direction of a skilled therapist) and on the solar plexus for emotional release.
