Three Underappreciated Stones

There are so many stones and crystals in the world, each with its own healing and spiritual properties. Here a few we think don't get the play they deserve:

Green Calcite is good for healing, especially for bones and muscles.  It can also help heal a broken heart, and remind you to love yourself.   According to Margaret Lembo in The Essential Guide to Crystals, Minerals, and Stones, "It promotes healthy function of the gall bladder, liver, pancreas, spleen, and small intestine."

Chalcedony, a cryptocrystalline quartz, is generally blue or gray in color.  It is a stone of peace, and can help dispel nightmares.  A throat chakra stone, it can also aid in communication.

Chrysocolla is a copper ore.  As such, it carries the Venus love vibrations of copper.  It is also useful for quieting "squirrel brain", when your brain is trapped in a negative feedback loop and won't let you concentrate or sleep.  There are reports of it easing symptoms of autoimmune diseases such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, though it is no substitute for medical treatment.
