Stress Gems

For stress, place a small piece of rock crystal directly on the skin. Stress that results in overtaxing oneself can be eased by wearing jewelry made from chrysocolla. In situations of extreme stress a disk of red jasper or pyrite should be placed directly on the 3rd chakra for 30 minutes. Smoky quartz can be very helpful for those who have an exaggerated reaction to normal stress. The 3rd chakra is the Solar Plexus (above the navel). Its relationship is in regards to will and personal power; gland is adrenals and the stone that is typically used here is yellow citrine.
