Silicon

Silicon is the worlds second most abundant element, although it is usually found in combination with something else. It is also extremely conductive, and is used extensively in computing and hardware. Although it is a naturally occurring element, it is extremely rare to find it in crystallised form, as it so readily bonds with oxygen, forming Silica (SiO2 - you'll probably know as Quartz!). In order to get pure Silicon, it is extracted from Silica during an oxygen removal process and we are left with almost pure Silicon.

Silicon helps to sharpen your focus, making it helpful for those who struggle with distractions. It also improves communication skills, which can lead to better relationships with others. It is also believed to have purifying effects on the mind, body, and spirit, helping to rid the self of negative energies and thoughts. This crystal can be particularly helpful for those who feel pressure in their daily lives, as it can assist in dealing with stress and anxiety.
