coloured cross. The properties discussed in the ANDALUSITE section of this book
are in addition to those listed below.

is now used as a sign of devotion, especiaUy, devotion toward awareness, which can,
in itself, dispel negativity. The energy of chiastolite opposes and thwarts contrary
action by transmuting dissension to the state harmony.

respect to understanding immortality.

the unobstructed avenue.
