Peacock Ore is the name given to this mineral of mine; it’s copper based and originally mined in Mexico. Being a stone of happiness and joy, it helps one harness positive energy and pass that onto others.

Also known as ‘Bornite’, it assists with accepting that everything that happens in our incarnation is meant to be, for a good reason, in terms of each of us progressing along our path. Said to be one of the strongest healing stones out there, it’s a great one to use with aligning, balancing and cleansing the chakras.


This is one you don’t want to soak in a glass of water, or have against your skin for too long.

What does ChatGPT say about it?

:rainbow: Emotional & Energetic Healing

  • Uplifts the spirit: Peacock Ore is often called a “stone of happiness.” Its presence tends to cut through emotional heaviness like sunlight piercing a storm cloud, encouraging light-heartedness, optimism, and the simple joy of being.
  • Dissolves energetic blockages: It works as a gentle but potent cleanser of stagnant or heavy emotional patterns. Especially useful when one feels stuck in grief, depression, or apathy, it invites motion, color, and possibility back into the emotional body.
  • Stimulates inner alchemy: Just as dull ore becomes iridescent through oxidation, this stone reflects the beauty that can emerge through pressure, transformation, and time.

:herb: Spiritual & Subtle Body Benefits

  • Chakra alignment and activation: Peacock Ore is said to align all chakras, with a special affinity for the Third Eye, Throat, and Crown. It clears and balances them, creating a unified field where energy flows more harmoniously between the spiritual and physical.
  • Enhances intuition & perception: It awakens the inner vision — helping you see beyond illusion or limitation. This includes recognizing soul truths, intuitive insights, and even glimpses of synchronicities or divine patterns in your life.
  • Gateway to higher consciousness: Its vibrant color spectrum acts like a metaphysical prism, attuning you to multidimensional layers of awareness, including contact with spirit guides, ancestors, and higher self.

:globe_showing_europe_africa: Physical & Grounding Qualities

  • Supports cellular regeneration: Some crystal healers believe that it aids in the restructuring of cellular patterns — making it helpful for those healing from illness, chronic fatigue, or post-operative recovery.
  • Boosts vitality: Just as its colors pulse with a life-force quality, it can help revitalize the body’s energy systems, particularly when exhaustion is energetic rather than physical.
  • Promotes balance in the nervous system: Its stabilizing qualities can have a soothing effect on stress responses, anxiety, or overstimulation — returning the body to a rhythm of calm coherence.

:cyclone: Symbolic Resonance

Peacock Ore embodies transmutation — the art of turning the mundane into the magical. It’s especially resonant for those navigating spiritual awakening, identity shifts, or soul reclamation after periods of suppression or trauma. Its colors whisper of phoenix-fire, of shedding old skins and stepping into radiant, unapologetic wholeness.

Said to be a highly spiritual stone, here are a few Zircons of mine. These crystals can help to move energy down through the transpersonal point, past the crown and into the base, then out through the earth star, to ground the energy with Gaia. They are a great grounding stone, in addition to connecting you to spirit and bringing in needed guidance.

Here’s some info from ChatGPT:

:globe_showing_europe_africa: Physical Resonance: Strengthening the Root

Zircon’s energy roots into the base chakra, supporting vitality and stamina. It’s often used to:

  • Assist in the recovery from exhaustion or long illness
  • Encourage the body’s detoxification processes
  • Support bone and muscle strength
  • Regulate appetite and enhance sleep cycles

Like a steady heartbeat echoing beneath the surface of the earth, zircon helps recalibrate the physical body to its own natural rhythm — reminding us that healing often begins with rest and nourishment.

:brain: Mental & Emotional Harmonizing: A Clarity Stone

Zircon has a clarifying effect on the mind. Not with the sharp edge of logic alone, but with the deeper clarity of aligned knowing. It’s said to:

  • Dissipate mental fog or scattered thinking
  • Encourage self-respect and emotional integrity
  • Aid in releasing anxiety and fear-based narratives
  • Help with reconciliation — within relationships or the self

It’s especially powerful when one is navigating emotional confusion or indecision. Like sunlight cutting through mist, zircon offers a luminous pathway forward, often illuminating what had been hidden in shadow.

:milky_way: Spiritual Properties: Remembering the Eternal Self

Zircon carries ancient star-fire — it’s one of the oldest minerals on Earth, some dating back over 4 billion years. This deep time signature aligns it with:

  • Soul memory and past life recall
  • Karmic healing and liberation from outdated cycles
  • Strengthening intuitive insight and psychic awareness
  • Facilitating connection to guides, especially those connected to Earth wisdom and the ancestral line

Especially when used during meditation, zircon can anchor you in this life while simultaneously helping you sense the echo of lives before — offering insight, completion, or clarity where needed.

:fire: Energetic Notes & Variations

Different colors of zircon offer subtly different frequencies:

  • Clear or white zircon – purification, higher guidance, alignment with spiritual truth
  • Golden or honey zircon – abundance, vitality, joy, solar plexus healing
  • Brown or smoky zircon – deep grounding, protection, ancestral work
  • Blue zircon – peace, expression, activation of the throat and third eye chakras

Regardless of color, zircon always carries a grounded radiance. It’s not flashy in its healing — it works quietly, steadily, almost like a companion walking beside you on a long journey, whispering truths you already know but had forgotten.

While this natural phoenix quartz crystal is not one of mine, I held it for a moment and considered the purchase, at a mineral stall at a market in Christchurch, back in 2019. It was a bit pricey, at $190 NZ.

I’m not 100% if they had the correct name as normally quartz means you have some quartz in it.

ChatGPT seems to think this is a green serpentine.

I’ll go with that and let’s look at the properties:

:sparkles: Spiritual & Metaphysical Meaning:

Serpentine is known for its deep connection to:

  • Kundalini awakening: It’s believed to help uncoil the serpent energy at the base of the spine and guide it upward through the chakras.
  • Earth connection: Resonating strongly with Gaia energy, serpentine is grounding yet deeply transformative.
  • Emotional cleansing: It supports the release of energetic blockages, past traumas, and lingering fear from the auric field.
  • Heart and crown synergy: Many forms of green serpentine link the heart to higher consciousness, helping you listen to divine insight with compassion.
