approx. 39mm long, 8mm wide
New, has not been worked with energetically
This is a great specimen as you can see it's dark green color on the protruding crystal....on first look people write this off as a black crystal and mistake it for tourmaline.

Aegerine
Physical Benefits: Seen as useful to help boost immune system and trigger self-healing, good for general healing, to overcome insomnia and sleep disturbances, a natural energizer.
Emotional Healing: Believed to assist in mending a broken heart after betrayal or loss; overcome a sense of being overwhelmed by life and responsibilities, relieve depression, self-consciousness and unnecessary shame over appearance due to body image problems.
A stone of particular benefit in Reiki or any other energy-transference healing systems using the power of touch. Aegerine helps to accept what cannot be changed and also acceptance of yourself and others as they are, not as you would like them to be. Use Aegerine to defy outdated convention to follow your own path or to stand up for what you know is right. Take Aegerine on journeys of self-discovery, whether spiritual or travelling to see new far-off places; good for protection against negative energies and inhospitable places and people.
