Ancestralite is an unusual, new addition to the Mineral Kingdom. Originally found in the Minas Gerais region of Brazil, it is slowly becoming one of the most popular minerals of recent times.
Ancestralite is a pseudomorph of Martite, which is a variety of Hematite formed under increased oxygen activity. It also has some similarity to Magnetite and would have been one of the first minerals created before any other form of life existed. It was created deep within the Earth’s core as the planet formed, making its energy ancient and extremely powerful.
The presence of sparkly, shimmery specks suggests that Ancestralite underwent other processes within the Earth’s core and that it took millions of years for it to be pushed to the surface, blending with other minerals along the way.

This leads to Ancestralite having the dual ability of being able to clear energy and ground it at the same time. It’s like it came from deep within the Earth and the dawn of time on our planet to appear now to support us in healing the past and reaching for the stars.
Ancestralite ensures that toxic karmas and attitudes do not carry into future generations. It is a stone of clearing, grounding, healing, karma, and protection. Its name reflects the energetic effects of the stone on one's energetic body and energy fields. It can clear energy and ground it at the same time.
Ancestralite is about your life journey, the process, the experiences, the lessons and the growth. Life today is fast paced and our attention spans are short. We are always looking ahead to the next thing. We rarely speak in full sentences and often jump into a conversation without allowing the other to finish their thought first. Ancestralite reminds us to slow down so that we can see and be aware of things often missed in our rush.
On an energetic level, Ancestralite clears out the old and makes way for the new, the difference to other crystals that have this affect, is that it doesn’t do the work for you. If the ‘old’ energy is hanging around because we haven’t addressed an issue in our lives, then Ancestralite seems to clear it out of our physical energy system, but brings the issue right to the front of our emotions and mind in order that it be healed and brings us good, solid intuitive guidance on how to go about it. This crystal makes us work, it helps to make the work easier, but doesn’t do it for us. Personally, I find that really empowering.
Ancestralite brings me a lot of comfort because it has an earthy, supportive energy similar to that of Red Jasper. The Hematite element isn’t too overwhelming and grounding occurs really easily with this mineral. When consciously working with it however (as opposed to simply carrying it around) in meditation or with focused intent, it seems to open up a Pandora’s Box of information. Information that again is familiar, but new to me here and now.
Nature has its way of healing. The ancestralite stones are connected to the universe. They expose and erase the past to give way to a new, clear future.
Ancestralite is said to be good for bones, teeth, jaws, structure, and inherited diseases. It is thought to heal inherited diseases transmitted through familial DNA, or diseases and ingrained attitudes passed down the family line. It works with generic ancestors to heal racial issues carried in subtle-energy bodies and junk DNA.
