| Stone of Protection. Native Antimony is a minor ore of the element antimony. It is nearly indistinguishable from native Arsenic. However, it can be identified from Arsenic in some known properties. Antimony does not tarnish as quickly or as severely like Arsenic. It does not exhibit garlic odor, which is sometimes possessed by Arsenic specimens. Antimony is not abundant, but it can be found as constituent of some mineral species. Antimony has a very interesting property: It is similar to water, in that instead of contracting when it solidifies, like all other matter, it expands. New Age Therapists say it helps stimulate areas of pursuit and empowers one to pursue all areas of interest. Helps to guide one toward one’s correct path. It can help with detective work and investigative activities. It is considered to be an excellent healing stone and is said to be helpful for meditation. Zodiac: Scorpio, Capricorn |
