A day ago a piece of hanksite I have had for quite awhile “spoke up” to say it wanted to help with an eye issue I experienced recently. A piece of clear calcite did also, but that is a writing for another time. I love the energies of all the colors and energies of calcites and have used them frequently myself and with clients. Hanksite, a pretty unknown and fairly rare stone has always felt friendly to me, in an intoverted way, and just seemed to enjoy absorbing the light on my healing room window sill, and keeping that important space cleansed and cleared. But I listened, brought it home, and have kept it near me since.
Hexagoal in form and a transluscent grey color sometimes w/ shades of gold or green, this stone resonates with earth energy, stimulating all chakras. Because it is a salt (potassium sulfate), it will dissolve if wet, but also like all salts, it is a purifier on the physical and energetic levels, and excellent for removing blockages. Hanksite is said to be a "“Stone of Truth”. With this ally in hand, we can recognize falseness in others, know a shyster when we come across one, and see the truth hidden in chaos. Because hanksite heightens our perceptions, and shows us “what is”, it assists us in seeing illusions we may be creating ourselves. With this ally’s discriminating energy helping, we can differentiate between “wants” and “needs”, shedding falsity in our own lives for a truer, clearer view.
Hanksite brings harmony and groundedness when we feel restless and impatient, also drawing out old resentments stuck in the emotional body for release. The we are able to move on, growing toward love and compassion for ourselves and others. A supportive ally for taking action when we see injustices out in the world, hanksite can be transformative to out inner and outer realities. If we have difficulty in connecting to spirit, this stone is useful. A good friend when recovering from overindulgence, addiction, or illness, this stone is gently, but effectively restorative. A superior choice for detoxification on physical, mental, emotional, and energetic levels, across all dimensions levels, hanksite might seem a quiet, unassuming stone, but offers much.
