Budstone, also spelled "Buddstone" and also known as verdite, is related to serpentine. Sometimes called African Jade, Budstone comes from Zimbabwe and Eastern South Africa and is mined in a region called the "green stone belt." Budstone is a gemstone known for its emotional and physical healing properties. It is easily obtained from specialty stores.
Physical Pain and Cleansing
According to the Crystal Bible, the soft green serpentine stone is useful in soothing pain. It is especially useful for muscular discomfort and menstrual pain. Budstone is also used for migraine relief. Green stones cleanse toxins from the body. This lends the Budstone to refreshing blood and healing kidney and genital problems.
Sleep and Relaxation
Budstone is a sleep and relaxation aid. It increases peace both internally and externally. Budstone healing includes being able to tolerate an otherwise intolerable situation such as an uncomfortable relationship. The gem soothes the nerves and improves mood.
Mental and Emotional Issues
Mental and emotional issues such as dementia, Alzheimer's disease and senility are candidates for Budstone healing. Because the stone is soothing and calming for senses and nerves, it is also useful for healing depression and anxiety.
Past issues
When placed on the throat, Budstone allows for past emotional issues to be spoken and thus open to resolution. It may facilitate a connection to past lives and can help access the in-between state to promote healing that was incomplete in a previous life and carried to the present.
Use Budstone for Healing
Crystals work through energy and vibration and on all levels of being. Gemstone healing has been practiced for thousands of years. Gemstones can heal by their presence or by being placed on certain parts of the body. They can also be made into elixirs and rubbed on the skin. It is very important to consult an experienced practitioner for proper use in each situation.
