Shu Fa(Calligraphy) Stone

Shu Fa is a Enhancer Brightener stone. Enhancers are minerals and crystals that form in the Isometric crystal system. They have internal crystal lattices of perfect cubic symmetry and internal harmony. These are the “building block” crystals. Their internal structure of blocks builds up perfect crystal lattices that can help you focus our efforts to enhance your life.

Shu Fa is chemically a halide. These crystals are among the brightest in the mineral kingdom. The halides are life's brighteners. Brighteners have a specific use in helping us see the best life has to offer. Too often we are focused on our problems, afflictions, and illnesses. Life truly is a great adventure, and this planet truly is a wonderful place. We need help sometimes in recognizing the good things we have and in truly appreciating them. The Brighteners are good for our disposition. They add color and zest to life and give it meaning.

Crystals that are lavender, the lighter shade of violet, contain the rays that aid us in the wisdom of self that violet provides, but they are more focused on our feelings and understanding our hidden yearnings. These are the crystals of the free, unfettered intellect and the unfettered heart. Use these beautiful displays to fulfill your dreams that involve heartfelt desires for love and affection. Use them to gain the knowledge you need to live with grace and style.

With its beautiful violet color, this Shu Fa stone is a natural birthstone of those born at the time when the year is new, just after the winter solstice (December 21–January 19). Be sure to display it during this time.

When the crown chakra is out of balance or its energy is blocked, you will feel clumsy, uncoordinated, and at sorts with life. You will stumble in both movement and thought. You will be uninspired and out of step. The world will seem to be spinning, and you will be unsure of who you are or why you even exist. You will be rigid in your thinking, and be spiritually adrift. Your consciousness will be limited, and possibilities will not appear to you. You will have difficulty understanding relationships, ideas, and dreams. Use this Shu Fa to restore the balance in your spirit energy of the crown chakra.

This Shu Fa Stone being Fluorite is associated with PISCES (21 Feb - 21 Mar). Wikipedia tells us Pisces is the twelfth astrological sign in the Zodiac, which originates from the Pisces constellation. In western astrology this sign is no longer aligned with the constellation because of the precession of the equinoxes. In astrology, Pisces is considered a feminine or negative sign. Being the twelfth sign, Pisces is associated with the astrological 12th house.

With its fire energy, this Shu Fa is the color of richness and luxury in traditional Feng Shui. However, too much leads to restlessness and over stimulation. Use these crystals with caution – they are best as an accent and accessory. Use these crystals in rooms in which children play, and freely in rooms where energy levels are focused on activity. Dining rooms and kitchens will benefit from having a Shu Fa on display. They allow the free flow of energy that is important in these areas. Avoid using these crystals in the East, or Southeast of your home. The best areas are the North, Northeast and Southwest, and South.

These Shu Fa s are not primarily divination crystals. You do not use them to see the future. Rather, they are enablers. They free your spirit at night to explore, dream, and travel without being molested by evil spirits, bad dreams, or fear. Used regularly, you will find you awaken each morning with a refreshed view of life, higher confidence, and more energy.

Other practitioners report that Shu Fa being Fluorite helps activate the nourishing energies of the body and to dissipate disorders, helping cleanse the body. Purple Fluorite is reported to bring an orderly connection to the subconscious and bring help to scholarly pursuits. Chinese Fluorite is used to protect against disease.
