Allow me to introduce you to my blue violane sphere. Lovely, isn’t it? Despite many years of working with stone energies, I was unaware of violane until recently. It was love at first sight (on my part at least). I am grateful that stone magic still holds surprises for me.

A variety of diopside rich in manganese, violane’s color ranges from purple to light blue to gray. The purple stones seem to be found in the Italian Piedmont, while my light blue violane came from the Transbaikal region of Siberia. The sky-blue color, with touches of white and gray, is reminiscent of larimar, but when polished, violane flashes and sparkles. It has an affinity for the throat chakra, for communication, and for creative expression.
Holding violane for the first time, I felt a wave of relaxation come over my mind and body. It offered high-octave peace and stress relief, and I instinctively took a deep breath and sighed. The energy of healing comfort reminded me of ajoite—soft, gentle, but with an undeniable power. Following immediately after the feeling of relaxation was a sensation I classified as joy, although it was quiet rather than exuberant. It was the joy that comes with knowing that there is a solution to a problem, that there is a way out of a bad situation, that there is an answer where none had appeared before. The effect was expanded clarity. Violane provided not hope but knowledge that the remedy to any disharmony exists—and the inspiration to search for that remedy, that answer. I’m eager to discover what else this beautiful stone will teach me.
Other energy workers have found that violane creates a safe atmosphere for releasing and healing intense emotional issues such as trauma, fears, anxiety, abuse, anger, grief, and guilt. I can understand why—this stone emanates a sweet, peaceful, and supportive aura. It’s a good choice for both physical and emotional pain relief. Violane has been used to treat sinusitis, bronchitis, and allergies; it strengthens the immune system and the thymus chakra, which governs compassion and connection to the world soul.
Adam Barralet of Crystal Connections says this about violane: “If there was one crystal that was placed upon our planet by star beings, this would be it. It brings peace and harmony to both the home and workplace, allowing healing to take place where needed. In meditation Violane helps connections to a myriad of worlds including Atlantis, the heavens and the oceanic realms. Although hard to find, when you find it, know that you have been blessed and chosen to great work on this planet.” Watch his video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxGVxbDILSU
