SPIRITUAL HEALING PROPERTIES OF AMMOLITE
Ammolite holds properties of stability, structure, and transmutation. It converts outside energies, even staunchly negative ones, into positivity and love, thereby shielding the user while also diminishing symptoms of depression and anhedonia.
Sometimes referred to as the seven-color prosperity stone, Ammolite deepens meditation, enhances moods, and brings relief from trauma. As the nickname suggests, this healing crystal increases the user’s inner prosperity by enhancing desire, energy, enjoyment, and stamina.
