Energetically, this one pulls energy in from the crown down into the turquoise chakra, expanding the immune system and pulling cosmic energy through the turquoise chakra into the spine. It goes all through the skeletal structure, pulling the crystalline template into the skeletal structure. This is a powerful healing for the skeletal structure, really raising the vibration — a very nice oil.
