"Auralite 23 - The Stone of Awakening on Every Level"
Also known as Super 23, this quartz crystal was recently found in the northern areas of the Boral Forest in Canada. It is reported to contain up to 23 elements and minerals. Is is named for the Aurora Borealis.
Auralite-23 stimulates higher awareness and telepathic connection with one's guides and guardian spirits. It offers a direct and immediate link to what is called the "Magic Presence" in esoteric literature - the Self beyond the everyday "I" that knows one's life pattern and destiny, and which can help one live one's life as an expression of one's true spiritual purpose.
In the poetic mystical tradition, this aspect of oneself - so different that it seems like a Divine being beyond oneself - was known as the Beloved of the Soul. Union with the Beloved was fervently sought by many spiritual aspirants.
The connection facilitated by Auralite-23 is to that Higher Self, and although it does not guarantee full union without one's own efforts, it does offer an energetic link which greatly assists one's journey to the Divine within."

It improves concentration and removes extraneous thoughts in daydreamers, and during meditation.

Carnelian alleviates jealousy and possessiveness in relationships, and is helpful in overcoming sexual anxieties, and eating disorders. It is also beneficial with male mid-life crisis.
