Lady Nellie, or Nellie Morse Thompson was a Native American Medicine woman with a half Irish lineage. In 1969, Lady Nellie found the first known Andara. It’s said that she recognised it as a powerful healing crystal. This was the beginning of the Andara journey.
This colour of Andara is said to have chosen the name, Lady Nellie & to carry her spiritual heart energies. The ever shifting colour from light blue to periwinkle to a dark blue then back to almost clear is an amazing example of the way that Nellie shifted her heart energies to accommodate all in her healing work. It is an Andara of transmutation & living in the Creator’s grace, as one is held in light & love.
Healers & those on a spiritual path will often find themselves drawn to Andaras. They are certainly controversial. Many say they are manmade & thus not capable of holding any energy or metaphysical benefit. Our own experience of Andaras has been of very high vibrational tools. It is said that Andaras will only connect with those that have raised their own vibration to a certain level. Although all Andaras hold a high vibration, it is the Monatomic Andaras that are believed to be the highest vibrational crystals on the Earth at this time. The way Andaras are formed has been compared to the natural process that creates Obsidian glass – volcanic lava is rapidly cooled, forming natural Obsidian. In the areas the Monatomic Andaras are found, the soil is said to contain Etherium, consisting of more than 70 monatomic metal elements. They are usually found covered in this monatomic soil. The colour of the Andara is believed to be a result of the trace elements in the soil they are found in.
The experiences of Andaras seem to vary deeply from person to person & also with the differing Andaras. Some experience communication, downloads of information, energetic shifts & profound meditations & healing experiences. Andaras can beautifully cleanse the energy in their space & that of other crystals. They are wonderful to work with in energy healing work. As with selecting a crystal, the best way to choose an Andara is intuitively, following your instincts & honouring the piece you are most drawn to.
This Andara has been photographed outdoors in natural light to give the best possible representation of colour. Like us, Andaras are very rarely perfect & usually exhibit small chips & imperfections.
