Brimstone, more commonly known as Sulfur, has gotten a bum rap. Most people associate Sulfur with evil or "fire and brimstone". In fact, when you look up brimstone in the dictionary, you will see listed (1) Sulfur; (2) damnation to hell; (3) fire and brimstone: the torments suffered by sinners in Hell. Beyond the Biblical references, we've been told not to handle sulfur as it is toxic.
According to Wikipedia: Sulfur is an abundant, multivalent non-metal. Sulfur, in its native form, is a bright yellow crystalline solid. In nature, it can be found as the pure element and as sulfide and sulfate minerals. It is an essential element for life and is found in two amino acids: cysteine and methionine. Its commercial uses are primarily in fertilizers, but it is also widely used in black gunpowder, matches, insecticides and fungicides. Ever wonder why rotten eggs smell like sulfur and vice versa? It is because eggs are high in sulfur because large amounts of this element are necessary for feather formation.
While sulfur can be toxic in certain forms and high doses, it has many beneficial qualities - physically and spiritually. Many thermal springs contain salts, sulfur compounds and gases that are dissolved in the spring water during its passage underground. Sulfur is a cleanser and healing stone when used externally. It will cleanse your aura, cut chords, and purify your environment while also providing protection. It can be used for such physical ailments as eczema, arthritis, muscle, feet and back aches, chemotherapy related discomforts, detoxification as well as respiratory issues.
Speaking of respiratory issues, another mineral that has been tarnished over the years is Salt, as in Lot's wife being turned into a Pillar of Salt. The biblical cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were situated near the Dead Sea. Dead Sea salt refers to salt extracted or taken from the Dead Sea and is a popular ingredient of many common therapeutic bath products including bath salts, salt scrubs, foot scrubs, body wraps, bath bombs, soaps, and a wide variety of other cosmetic products, including makeup.
Halite or Salt produces negative ions and if you have ever experienced the air at a waterfall, on a mountain top, at the seashore, or after a thunderstorm - then you have experienced the results of Negative Ions and you know how the air smells fresher and how much easier it is for you to breathe. It has been reported that deep within a salt mine, the symptoms of asthma, allergies and other respiratory illnesses are relieved, even joint pain is reduced when a person is surrounded by salt crystal rocks. The very dry, negative ion environment of a salt mine helps to clear out the patient's bronchial tubes and sinuses, killing bacteria and other microbes.
On the other end of the scale are the Angel stones which have never had a harsh word against them. Seraphinite, Angelite, Blue Celestite, Azeztulite and Azurite are all treasured stones because of their Heavenly looks and positive qualities.
If I had to pick just one stone for its Angelic qualities, it would be Seraphinite. The "feathery wings" of this stone immediately puts you at ease and calms you when looking at it. This heavenly stone raises you to a very high spiritual vibration. On its own or combined with Infinite, it is a stone for self-healing at all levels, i.e., spiritually, physically, emotionally and mentally. Seraphinite allows one to grow at a steady and safe pace, imparting confidence.
A more subtle stone for reaching a high vibration and contacting the Angelic Realm, would be Angelite. This stone is formed from compressed Blue Celestite. This stone is a representative of brotherhood, peace and deeper attunement for healers while heightening perceptions and providing protection.
Azurite, also known as the "Stone of Heaven" is another stone for raising your vibration but with a strong link to Earth and the physical body. It is an excellent stone for the mind and mental processing because it challenges your concept of reality and belief system. This stone allows one to see the gray areas more clearly and remove the adamant black and white lines of rigidity. Empathy, compassion, removal of fears are just a few other benefits of this spiritual stone.
Last but certainly not least is Azeztulite. This rare stone is one of the highest vibrational stones to work with and can give you a headache when you first use it.
Azeztulite is a powerful healer and teacher as it imparts so much in a short period of time and raises your kundalini quickly. It is best to work with other clear quartz crystals before moving on to this powerful stone. On a physical level, Azeztulite will aid with cellular healing and is beneficial for fighting cancer.
