The staff at my new age shop, Mimosa Books & Gifts, had this to share: Gaia Stone is just one of the names given to the gorgeous volcanic glass associated with the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption. It also goes by Green Obsidianite, Helenite, Emerald (or sometimes Ruby) Obsidianite, and Mt. Saint Helens Emerald. The eruption itself produced no obsidian, but it was discovered afterwards in an interesting way: workers trying to salvage equipment buried in the blast noticed that the heat from their acetylene torches transformed the surrounding ash to brilliant glass — sometimes green, other times bright red. While the Gaia Stone we see now is man-made, it’s colored by the same trace elements as the original: aluminum, iron, chromium, titanium and copper. Because this lucky find seemed like a gift from the Earth herself, it came to be known as Gaia Stone, after the ancient Greek Earth goddess. This connection helps us discover the stone’s heart-chakra properties of love and connection with Mother Earth. Care and safety: Since this is a form of glass, it’s highly breakable.   More About Crystals for Earth Healing:     Pin it!   Your Goddess Guides can be such a great source of support as you follow your spiritual path.   If you’re wondering how you can connect more deeply with the energies of the Divine Feminine, our Goddess Crystals Oracle Deck has got you covered!
