The name Cryolite is taken from the Greek for ice stone, due to a combination of its white, icy appearance, and the fact that it has a refractive index only 0.01 different to that of water. This means that when placed in water, Cryolite becomes virtually invisible, almost as though it has melted like ice in water.

Cryolite helps connect you with the Angelic Realm and has an extremely high vibration. It is a crystal that can help cleanse the mind of old, outdated ideas and constraints, and harmonises the mind with the emotional body. Cryolite increases understanding and acceptance of yourself and the world around you. Its ability to bring clarity to your thoughts makes it a great crystal for meditation, and its protective properties can help shield you from negative energies.
