Discovery year: 1576 (Year of discovery of the meteorite field)
Meteorites combine enormous physical forces from space with fascinating spiritual significance.
Grounding and stability: Although they originate from space, meteorites are said to have a strong grounding effect that helps stay centered in hectic times.
Shield: They are said to act as an energetic barrier against negative influences and help clear the mind.
Courage and intuition: The cosmic energy is said to strengthen self-confidence, sharpen intuition, and foster courage to face new challenges.
