Deva Mani · Angelit
Anhydrite — Orthorhombic, Mohs 3–3.5
Essence
Opens gentle channels of intuitive communication and higher guidance. It works through the Crown chakra (Sahasrara), the seat of the bridge between individual consciousness and the wider field of awareness. Under Moon (Chandra)'s influence, aligns the channel between daily awareness and intuitive guidance, supporting the capacity to receive rather than project. Reach for it when navigating communication, spiritual growth, anxiety.
Anchors
Sourcing
Peru (primary source for pale blue nodules), UK (Nottinghamshire), Egypt. Anhydrite is water-soluble — never cleanse in water (rehydrates to gypsum). Very soft; use tumbled pieces for carry rather than jewelry.
Classical lineage
Classical Vedic literature does not specifically reference this stone. Modern usage is grounded in mineralogical observation and energetic-tradition practice.
