Shattuckite

Overview

Shattuckite carries the vibration of someone who speaks from the soul, not the ego. It is a stone for those who have lived through lessons that forged wisdom, and who now carry insight meant to be shared, not swallowed.

It works deeply on the throat, pulling truth upward and blocking distortion from hijacking your voice. This is not the stone of small talk, it is the stone of soul talk, channeling, and words that change lives.

What is Shattuckite?

Shattuckite is a copper silicate mineral, often forming with chrysocolla, malachite or quartz, creating striking electric blue to indigo swirls. It was first discovered at the Shattuck Mine in Arizona in 1915, giving it its name. It is prized not only for its beauty, but for its metaphysical potency.

Spiritual Meaning

Shattuckite bridges the throat and third eye, turning intuition into language and downloads into articulation. It is often used by psychics, channelers, teachers and healers who translate unseen realms into spoken frequency.

This stone insists that truth has tone, origin, timing, and integrity, and teaches you how to speak it without wounding or shrinking.

Hold over your throat before difficult or meaningful conversations. Breathe in courage, exhale truth. Speak without rehearsing, your soul will take over.

For Channeling

Place at the throat and third eye during meditation. Set the intention to transmit rather than translate. Let the words come, don’t filter them.
