Tugtupite

Tugtupite  tumbled stone from Greenland, approximate size  40 x 32 x 16mm.

A stone of integration bridging the compassionate heart with the illuminated mind and anchors unconditional love in the world. It teaches the power of self-love, without which it is not possible to value yourself or another, to give or receive love or to know intimacy.  An exceedingly peaceful stone aligned to the pink flame of pure love, Tugtupite has the rare quality of tenebrescence, meaning that on exposure to sun or ultra-violet light, or on being worn or held, it's white or pale pink colour deepens to crimson. It fluoresces  bright red under ultra-violet light. 

One of the best stones for opening and cleansing the heart chakras, especially the heart seed, this stone signifies romance, passion and fertility.  It deepens and expands love, bringing an unconditional quality to all relationships, and aligns and integrates all the chakras with the heart and higher heart chakras so that love is expressed through every act and thought.  It may take you through a deep emotional catharsis, releasing the grief of the ages for the planet and for yourself.  (Info. abridged from The Crystal Bible Vol. 2 by Judy Hall).
