A beautiful green or turquoise coloured stone, usually covered with pale to dark brown lines. Variscite contains the energy of the Earth in a very pure and powerful form. The brown, branching tracks running across the smooth green surface look very like the channels of Earth energy that stream through every landscape and because of this the stone is often used for Earth magic. Carry a piece with you when searching for sacred places in the landscape or ley lines. Variscite beads can be used to make a pendulum that is excellent for dowsing Earth energy on maps. Meditation with the stone can help you to discover new insights about the landscape and sacred sites around you and also how you can play your part in cherishing and protecting these places.
