The shattuckite ring is a jewel of a rare and deep blue on the finger. This intense blue, sometimes mixed with turquoise or chrysocolla green nuances, on a cabochon set in silver, has a depth of color that catches the eye. Each cabochon is a small painting of blues with its own nuances and mixtures, making each ring truly unique. Shattuckite is a copper silicate discovered in the Shattuck mine in Bisbee, Arizona, and it is this American origin that gave it its name. It is a connoisseur's stone, not yet as famous as lapis lazuli but just as powerful and significantly rarer.
In lithotherapy, a shattuckite ring on the finger accompanies every gesture with an energy of truth, intuition, and inspired speech. Hands being the direct extension of perception and expression, shattuckite on the finger creates a direct channel between what is intuitively perceived and what is expressed. It is the ring for those who want to see clearly and speak truthfully, who perceive unspoken things and need to articulate them with accuracy and compassion. Shattuckite works simultaneously on the third eye chakra (perception) and the throat chakra (expression), a rare dual function among blue stones. It is recommended for mediums, intuitive therapists, people who need to make complex decisions requiring discernment, and those seeking to develop their subtle perception abilities. Shattuckite pairs well with azurite (enhanced inner vision), lapis lazuli (wisdom and truth), chrysocolla (gentle communication), or rock crystal (amplification). For care, remove your ring before washing your hands with soap. No salt, no chemicals. Clean it with a soft, slightly damp cloth and recharge it in moonlight. With a hardness of 3.5 on the Mohs scale, protect it from shocks and scratches.
