4th and 6th chakras. Bustamite is found with Sugilite and Richterite in South Africa. It is a very colorful and beautiful stone which many are drawn to. I have been out of this material for some time and was looking forward to the Tucson show so I could make my purchase! Being one of the first to look through this material at the gem show, this new stock is a better grade and much deeper in color. Use Bustamite to activate the heart chakra, re-align the energy channels, and to stimulate health. I find this to be a very passionate stone, feelings of love and peace while knowing I am apart of the Universe. Use for building love in relationships. Bustamite is a powerful stone for initiation and good for dream time, stimulating awareness. Highly recommended.
