Jet Flat Stone

Jet Flat Stone

Jet is a fascinating, organic gemstone that has been prized for centuries for its deep, rich black color and smooth, lustrous texture. Scientifically, jet is a form of lignite, a type of coal that has undergone a process of compression over millions of years. Unlike true gemstones, jet is organic in origin, formed from the fossilized wood of ancient trees that lived during the Jurassic period. Its chemical composition is primarily carbon, with traces of hydrogen and oxygen. Jet is lightweight yet dense and has a distinctive, velvety sheen when polished, which makes it highly valued in jewelry and ornamental carvings. Historically, it has been used to create mourning jewelry, particularly in Victorian times, symbolizing grief and remembrance.
Metaphysically, jet is considered a grounding and protective stone, associated with the root chakra. It is believed to absorb negative energy, promoting a sense of safety and stability for its wearer. Jet’s deep black color is thought to encourage emotional healing by helping to release stagnant energy and trauma, facilitating a process of purification and renewal. It is often used in meditation to help calm the mind, reduce anxiety, and ease the release of deep-seated emotional blockages. In addition, jet is thought to provide a connection to ancient wisdom and spiritual insight, aiding in the development of psychic abilities and providing a sense of connection to ancestral energies. It is also believed to shield against harmful influences, making it a powerful ally for those seeking protection or support during times of stress or transition.
