Hypersthene Meaning and Properties

Hypersthene is a magnesium, iron silicate mineral, the color range being black, grey/black, brown/black to deep bronze/black, and displays a characteristic pleochroism, whereby the colors displayed can appear to change when viewed in certain light.

The frequency of Hypersthene connects to the third eye chakra allowing one’s inner vision and inner knowing to be developed, thus helping to “see” and understand the lessons from one’s life experiences so that one may move forward.

Hypersthene helps one to be discerning so that one can make one’s choices from a “place of higher understanding”, and it supports one so that one may have respect for oneself and others and be able to follow that which one’s feels is “right”.


The calming energy of Hypersthene allows one to obtain the meditative state whereby one may “go within” and discover one’s “shadow self” helping one to understand and integrate this part of oneself so that one is able to reflect on, and have a conscious awareness of, this aspect of “self”.
