Preseli Bluestone S-size - The Mystery of Stonehenge & The Legacy of Merlin

Preseli Bluestone – the ancient mystery of Stonehenge. This historic stone comes from the Preseli Hills of Wales, the very same source as the great blocks of Stonehenge’s inner circle.

• Size: 1,8 cm - 2.4 cm
• Material: Preseli bluestone is an igneous rock composed mainly of plagioclase and pyroxene, often with chlorite and epidote
• Hardness: 6-7 Mohs

Preseli bluestone is composed primarily of plagioclase and pyroxene, and its tones vary from blue-grey to greenish grey. Preseli Bluestone is not a single mineral but a rock type, whose dense structure makes it both durable and striking. It is a dark, blue-green, heavy stone, with a hardness comparable to granite.

Preseli bluestone is one of the bluestone rock types used in the prehistoric monument of Stonehenge, forming part of its inner setting. The bluestones were introduced at Stonehenge during its third construction phase, around 2300 BC.

Symbolic Meaning

Preseli bluestone is an ancient stone with rich symbolic associations. It is linked with dreams and distant memory. Forming the inner circle of Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England, it is said to move beyond the boundaries of time and space, allowing access to multiple dimensions.

Because of its strongly described earthy electromagnetic charge, it is said to open a cosmic anchor and root itself deep within the Earth’s core, creating an unwavering inner energetic stability that supports the individual through times of change. It is also said to align a person’s energy with the galactic centre, as though suspended between Earth and galaxy, allowing waves of energy to pass through the body into the ground and anchor in the heart of the planet. The stone is also described as a shamanic anchor for journeys into both the lower and upper worlds.

As a uniquely British stone, bluestone is said to connect with the energy of Merlin and with the shaman that exists within every person. Its strong link to Mother Earth serves as a reminder that one who harms the Earth also harms themselves. Together with chalk or flint, bluestone is said to act like a kind of “battery”, generating, grounding and stabilising spiritual energy while strengthening psychic and metaphysical abilities. As a seer’s stone, it is considered especially useful for exploring past lives. It is also said to help trace Celtic heritage and connect with ancient Egyptian wisdom hidden within the stone.

When used on the body or with chakras associated with past lives, it is said to symbolically support soul retrieval, the reclaiming of power, and effortless access to the past. As a dream stone, it is described as bringing answers quickly and helping spiritual knowledge to be received and integrated.

The stone is said to connect all the stone circles of Britain into a vast spiral of energy and to link with other power points around the Earth. It is believed to reveal geometric energy patterns encoded in sacred circles and places, and to help restore connection where energy has been disturbed or broken, whether deliberately or unintentionally. If the energy of a sacred site is misused, bluestone is said to sever the connection and protect the place’s energy.

Bluestone is described as strengthening willpower and courage, while giving considerable inner strength to face difficulties with balance and understand the lessons they contain. It is regarded as an amplifier of energy that offers protection on many levels. The stone is also said to connect the heart, thymus and throat chakras, supporting the expression of one’s own truth.

Bluestone is also described as a physical stone, associated with the activation of the senses and the balancing of energy. For this reason, it is said to support practices such as kinesiology and psychometry. Its influence is described as working in two directions: it may symbolically calm overactivity or revive exhaustion. It is also said to increase sensitivity to energy grids, crystal vibrations, and the body’s subtle energies, such as acupuncture points.

When carried while moving through the landscape, bluestone is described as symbolically attuning one to the history of a place without becoming bound to it. At the same time, its meaning is associated with supporting a deeper sense of presence.

Placement: Place the stone on the soma chakra area. The soma chakra is associated with dreams, memory and inner imagery. It can also be placed on the past-life chakra (alta major) to support work with these themes. The stone may also be placed under the pillow for dream work.

Please note: The meanings associated with stones may be deeply personal and depend on how each individual experiences their influence in life. The interpretation of symbolism is highly subjective, and each person’s relationship with a stone may be entirely unique.
