Epidote
The name Epidote comes from the greek word for "Increase". Also known as Pictasite because of it's pistachio green color,
is known as a very powerful enhancer or attractor, it amplifies the energy of anything or anyone that touches it. It's an amazing healer, great for dealing with a lot of negativity and low vibrational energy but is also a very powerful, high vibration crystal that should be used with caution since it amplifies the energy, if it's used with negative energies it will increase the negativity. However, Epidote is amazing for connecting with the nature and has a very grounding vibration that helps connect one to earth
You can cleanse it in water and dry with a soft cloth and recharge it by burying it in soil, leave under full moon light/sunlight or pass through the smoke of your favorite cleansing incense
