Hypersthene Tumbled

Considered a protective stone, hypersthene helps create calmness and quietness within the mind of the wearer. According to metaphysical beliefs, hypersthene grounds us in an attempt to shield from hectic stimuli.

The name "hypersthene" comes from the Greek and means "over strength", and is an allusion to its being harder than the amphibole mineral hornblende (a mineral with which it is often confused).

Most people wear Hypersthene as jewelry, either around your neck as a pendant or in your ears as earrings. Wearing jewelry made from the stone is the easiest and most convenient way to keep it close to your body, especially if you're hoping to see its health benefits.
