African Turquoise is a stone known for awakening ancient and ancestral gifts. This crystal is great for activating dormant abilities that your soul has learned in past lives. The green and blue hue of the crystal connects to the heart chakra as well and the vibration of abundance. The Heart chakra is the bridge between the higher (spiritual) chakras, and the lower (physical) chakras. If anyone struggles with manifesting dreams into reality, the heart chakra is one of the main places to look at, as it is the bridge and filter of our thoughts into the physical. This crystal helps sooth any heart chakra blocks, and allows for easier flow of energy. African Turquoise is also known for its ability to banish negative energy and cutting ties with anything that no longer serves you. If there is anything holding you back from your ultimate happiness and joy, this crystal is great for letting go and bringing major transformation to your life.
