When times are difficult, Variscite is a helpful Crystal Companion to ramp up the courage to face anything and so is known as the Encouragement Stone. It is a wonderful mineral that has many metaphysical uses, including overcoming despair, especially over difficult illnesses. Variscite's soft green, white and grey coloring is particularly peaceful and calming so it is ideal for keeping under the pillow for more restful sleep.
These are the perfect size for medicine bags, medicine wheels, and accenting larger crystals in body layouts and grids. Use them in Feng Shui practice to accent and enhance the beauty of spaces and objects. Try scattering around plants, to enhance the look of candle or incense settings. They are beautifully grouped in your favorite glass dishes or art glass. On a table, put some around any natural objects to call attention to them and create beautiful energy. In crafts, I have used them in mandalas, set inside clear polymer to make a design of any kind. They are great for creating custom jewelry, wire cages, wire wraps. I have posted some pictures above to give you some ideas. Remember, your imagination is the only limit! Important common sense note: don't allow young children to play with these or put them in their mouths. Could be a choking hazard.
