Nuummit is the oldest living mineral, forming over three billion years ago. It crystallises in the form of laminates. The polished form is black and nearly opaque. Usually one colour is exhibited on this mineral, but occasionally there may be two or even several, and the iridescent spectral colour range includes gold, copper, purple, mauve, silver, green and blue. This mineral can be used to open, to activate and to integrate the chakras. It provides for grounding, via the chakras, to both the earth and the ethereal body. It aligns all of the subtle bodies and both balances and aligns the chakras. It is useful for removal of energy blockages and is an excellent energy source, exhibiting an electro-magnetic energy field and providing for the transfer of energy from the etheric body to the physical. It can be used to fill the voids and to remove the ‘muddy’ areas in the auric field. It has also been used to both fill and heal the openings, which remain after the removal of undesired implanted thought forms originating in other worlds. Nuummit provides for a circular energy connecting the crown and the base chakras. It also provides for a spiral of energy, which provides for the continuity between the chakras of this plane and the purity of the ethereal body. It has also been used to teach that the bonds and restraints placed upon a person are self-imposed and can easily be discarded. It helps you to decide, with the heart, what is really important and to plan for and initiate the release of any binding areas. This mineral provides a defending quality and is an excellent preventative which will shield you from many forms of negative energy. Simply having a piece of Nuummit on your person brings in this protective, shielding aspect of the stone, which works on the physical, etheric and emotional levels. It can also help to protect against the negative vibrations of pollutants, at the physical level, via the creation of an energy field, which it builds within your aura. Nuummit assists you in seeing behind facades, promoting the understanding of that which lies beneath words and actions. It also stimulates the powers of the intellect, enhancing memory and promoting recall of relevant information when required. It further promotes the synthesis of intellectual thought and intuitive, mystical and psychic wisdom. It assists you to make changes attracting strength and perseverance. Nuummit can also be used to encourage flashes of intuition and insight. The iridescent quality induces a gently vitality to your pursuits in the spiritual realm and assists in the alignment between the spiritual self and the psychic and astral planes. The wise ones of ancient civilisations used it to invoke visions and to provide insight into the answers required to facilitate healing on all levels. Nuummit can be used in general healing and in tissue regeneration. It has been used to relieve pain and discomfort associated with headaches and degenerative dis-ease. It can also be used to disperse infections, to purify the blood and kidneys and to regulate insulin production. It is also useful in the treatment of throat, vision and the eyes, to stimulate the circulation, to assist in the recovery of Parkinson’s, to treat disorders of the central nervous system and to reduce anxiety and stress.
