Hackmanite is a translucent variety of Sodalite, a chloric sodium aluminium silicate, which exhibits tenebrescence or reverse photochromism, whereby the colour of the minerals change when exposed to sunlight.In this case, pink Hackmanite will turn colorless when in sunlight, and slowly return to its former pink when left in the dark.

The frequency of Hackmanite connects to the third eye and crown chakras, activating these chakras allowing one to follow one’s intuitive “prompts” so that one is able to “know” and “see” the rightness of situations .Hackmanite has an extremely fine vibration while remaining connected to the Earth. Hackmanite can help to combine higher intuition with mind/logic. Hackmanite is a wonderful crystal to use when wanting to attain a deep, spiritual meditative state. It facilitates feelings of joy, freedom and happiness.

Hackmanite helps to embrace the self, enhancing self-esteem and feelings of self-worth. Use Hackmanite when working with issues of trust, be it self-trust or trust of others. Hackmanite is a strong support crystal. Its lesson is to stay true to self, to stand up for what you believe without fear of judgment, guilt or criticism. Hackmanite encourages full and complete expression.

Mentally, Hackmanite can help loose and release the bonds of rigid mindsets of the past and in its place create an opening/infusion of the mind, allowing an infinite number of new and exciting possibilities to fill the space.
