Ascension Stones
''Ascension Stones carry a strong soul star chakra energy. The soul star chakra is the eighth chakra, and the first of transpersonal chakras. It is known as the area that is the origin of enlightenment and ascension. These stones vibrate strongly within the higher more spiritual chakras. The first time you hold one of the Ascension Stones... their deep vibration is usually fairly obvious. Most people connect with them quite easily''

Below are extractions and excerpts. Information on these stones have been channeled By Katie Jacqueline -February 2009
What is it made of?
Formed primarily of marcasite but also known to contain a range of other heavy metal compounds and minerals in its overall composition matrix, such as jarosite, galena, copper sulphide etc. Many of the marcasite/ iron sulfide concretions are formed out of and over ancient coprolites and other detritus (hence, million of years!) by metamorphic processes.
Where does it come from?
These beautiful & energetic metallic crystals named as 'Ascension stones' are only found in the region of Dorset, Britain. They are primarily made from marcasite which has also been called white Iron Pyrite but these stones have different properties than the usual marcasites around the world.
There are various types of similar iron concretions (about 4 to 5 sources) from specific regions in different parts of the world - Ascension Stones (Dorset, UK) , Boji Stones (USA), Moqui Balls (USA) both aka Shaman stones and Prophecy Stones (Sahara desert) popularly used for healing, metaphysical energy work, reiki etc. They share some common features (eg. very earthy and somewhat metallic, very dense and heavy grounding energy) and yet, each has its own unique signature traits and offers distinct experiences in meditation, bodywork and crystal grid layout.

They adapt to all environments, the energy being like a 'good friend'.
