If you've been searching for a crystal that supports emotional healing, encourages forgiveness, and opens your heart to compassion, Stichtite may be exactly what you need. This rare and beautiful purple stone carries a gentle, nurturing energy that helps release old wounds, soften emotional tension, and invite deeper understanding—both of yourself and others.
Known as the Stone of Forgiveness, Stichtite is a powerful ally for anyone working through emotional challenges, seeking inner peace, or wanting to cultivate more empathy and love in their life.
What is Stichtite?
Stichtite is a rare magnesium chromium carbonate mineral, typically found in soft lilac to deep purple hues. It's most commonly sourced from Tasmania, Australia, and South Africa, often occurring alongside Serpentine (creating a combination stone called Atlantisite).
Its soothing purple tones reflect its calming, heart-centred energy—making it instantly recognizable and deeply beloved by crystal healers and collectors alike.
Metaphysical Properties of Stichtite
Stichtite resonates primarily with the Heart Chakra and Crown Chakra, creating a beautiful bridge between emotional healing and spiritual insight. Here's what makes this crystal so special:
Forgiveness & Compassion
Stichtite gently encourages you to release resentment, let go of grudges, and open your heart to forgiveness—both for yourself and others. It reminds you that compassion is a strength, not a weakness.
Emotional Healing
This stone is deeply supportive for anyone working through grief, heartbreak, or emotional trauma. It helps soothe stress, ease anxiety, and create space for healing and renewal.
Inner Child Healing
Stichtite is particularly powerful for inner child work, helping you reconnect with your younger self with love, understanding, and gentleness. It supports the release of old patterns formed in childhood.
Calming & Grounding
Despite its high spiritual vibration, Stichtite has a wonderfully calming effect. It helps quiet mental chatter, reduce emotional overwhelm, and bring you back to a state of peaceful presence.
Spiritual Connection
By activating both the Heart and Crown Chakras, Stichtite enhances intuition, spiritual awareness, and your connection to higher guidance—all while keeping you grounded in love.
How to Use Stichtite
Stichtite is available in various forms, each offering unique benefits for your healing practice. At Heavenly Crystals Online, we offer both tumbled stones and palm stones to suit your needs.
Stichtite Tumbled Stones
Perfect for carrying with you throughout the day, placing on your body during meditation, or adding to crystal grids. Their smooth, polished surface makes them ideal for holding during moments of stress or emotional overwhelm. Tuck one in your pocket or purse as a gentle reminder to return to compassion and forgiveness.
Stichtite Palm Stones
Larger and more substantial, palm stones are designed to fit comfortably in your hand during meditation, energy work, or healing sessions. The smooth, oval shape allows the crystal's energy to flow directly into your palm chakras, creating a deeper connection. Perfect for heart-centred meditation, chakra balancing, or simply holding when you need emotional support.
Ways to Work with Stichtite
Heart Chakra Meditation
Lie down and place a Stichtite palm stone over your heart chakra. Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and visualize soft purple light filling your chest, releasing old wounds and inviting in unconditional love.

Sleep Support
Place Stichtite under your pillow or on your nightstand to encourage peaceful sleep, emotional release through dreams, and gentle healing while you rest.
Chakra Connection
Heart Chakra (Anahata)
Stichtite's primary resonance is with the Heart Chakra, where it helps clear blockages, release emotional pain, and open you to giving and receiving love freely.
Crown Chakra (Sahasrara)
Its connection to the Crown Chakra enhances spiritual awareness, intuition, and your ability to receive divine guidance with an open heart.
Caring for Your Stichtite
Stichtite is a relatively soft stone (3-3.5 on the Mohs scale), so handle it with care. Avoid harsh chemicals, prolonged water exposure, and rough surfaces.
Cleansing: Use smoke (sage, palo santo), sound (singing bowls, tuning forks), or moonlight. Avoid salt or water cleansing.
Charging: Place under the full moon, on a Selenite charging plate, or in a crystal grid with Clear Quartz.
