The word “Petoskey” derives from a Native American Indian word meaning “rays of the living sun.” The stone is attuned to the third eye and is said help with enhancing or balancing third eye/psychic visions – including tamping them down, if needed. Said to help deflect negative energies from one’s environment. Petoskey is also known for emotional grounding and rebalancing, increasing emotional awareness and helping bring relationship conflicts to resolution. May also help stabilize one’s finances.
