Crystal Confab Podcast Introduction: Are you just starting with crystals? Or maybe you have a whole collection, but aren't sure how to use them? Join 4 crystal nerds, healers, workers, and lovers for crystal confab, a casual chat about all things crystals.

Kyle Perez: Hello, and welcome to another crystal confab where we casually confab about a different crystal each week, and this week, we're going to be talking about the rare and magical energy of Petalite with just myself and Adam Barralet. Adam, how are you?

Adam Barralet: I'm very good. When the Americans are away, the Australians will play.

Kyle: Watch out.

Adam: Exactly. Yes. Well, we are recording this. We record a couple of weeks before we release our episodes, and today is the beginning of Mercury retrograde. We wonder whether there's been some little mishaps there, but that's alright.

I'm really looking forward to having a chat to you about this amazing crystal that probably came into my realm. I think when I remember the good old days when it was Robert  -  I always get Robert Simmons and that other crazy actor Simmons confused -  But, you know, remember the synergy 12 crystals?

Kyle: Yes. Absolutely. Of course.

Adam: And there's this whole range of these kinds of white and clear crystals that were meant to be high vibration crystals. Alright. Oh, they're interesting. So I slowly started to gather them together. And although, you know, things like that and natural like, petalite naturalite, scholastic, they can look, especially in the tumbled form, very, very similar.

When you start working with the energy, you start to realize that they are absolutely amazing and quite different, aren't they?

Kyle: Yeah. Absolutely. I find the subtleties and the differences, especially between white and colorless crystals, is all about getting to know them because transparency really does give that, oh, you can see right through it, what's even in it. But once you actually sit with it, connect with it, get to know it, you can really learn a lot and get a lot from them, I think.

Adam: Now one thing that makes Petalite special, I believe, is it has a bit of a lithium in it, which is quite an interesting element, isn't it?

Kyle: Yeah. Exactly. What's really interesting about Petalite is it's found in what are known as lithium pegmatites. And lithium pegmatites are very popular nowadays because lithium is going into all of our long term batteries and all of that sort of stuff. So lithium mining is at the forefront of what humans are doing at the moment.

And petalite is one of those minerals that you find in lithium pegmatites along with some of our favorites like kunzite, pink tourmaline. You find all those real relatives spodumene, the spodumene families, like kunzite, hydnote, triphane, all of those really, and lepidolite. I knew there was another one I was forgetting. Really heavy lithium crystals that all bring a beautiful softness. They all bring a beautiful calming energy, and that's where I think petalite, for me, has been really, really important is working with that obvious content of lithium is super calming and brings peace of mind.

For me, I'll show you a couple of really cute little pieces. Clear, colorless, not very interesting looking. Right? And they actually interestingly get their name from Greek, petulos, which comes from leaf, not petal. It has really interesting little veins, little white veins that go through it because it looks a little bit like a leaf.

So it has that sort of softness like leaves do.
