Galena Crystal Healing Properties

Galena acts as a powerful mirror, reflecting light into the deepest, darkest regions of our shadow self. It encourages temperance, tolerance and peace as we learn to embrace the aspects of ourselves we have long feared. It may provide strong grounding and helps in centering our energies in order to overcome our self-limiting beliefs.

History and Uses

Galena was named by Pliny the Elder in 77-79 from the Greek word “galene” which means lead ore. It has been mined for its lead and silver content since 3000 BC. Egyptians used it as kohl under their eyes to reduce the glare of the desert sun and protect them from the diseases carried by flies. It was used to make a green pottery glaze called Potter’s Ore, to make lead shots and in crystal transistor radios.

Traditionally, it has been used to reduce inflammation, increase circulation and relieve joint pain. Galena contains lead which while bound in a mineral ore is safe to handle, however, should not be inhaled or ingested nor be used for making elixirs.

Geological Description

Galena is a lead sulphide mineral with a hardness of 2.5. Its crystal system is cubic. Fine specimens have been found in Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma, USA.

Affirmation

I commit to explore and accept the darkest sides of my being.

Jewellery Care & 1 Year Warranty

In jewellery form, some crystals are more hardy than others. For everyday wearers, we recommend crystals that fall in the Quartz family or have a Moh's hardness level of over 5.5-6. Avoid excessive water exposure, especially in pools or the ocean and any harsh chemicals. Delicate crystals like Amber, Moonstone, Opal, and iron-based meteorites need gentle handling due to potential discolouration or structural risks. Store safely, and clean with care. Rest assured that our 1-year jewellery warranty covers any manufacturing defects. With proper care, we expect your pieces to last many years to come. In our 18 years of business, we still wear some treasures from our original collection! Learn more about our warranty and care guide here.
