Himekawa Yakuseki, also known as Hokutolite, is a variety of barite and lead stone that crystallizes in mass formation. The stone is predominantly full of Barium, with trace amounts of radium and thorium levels. These elements are radioactive but are only small impurities within the stone which is safe to handle. The age of this mineral is believed to be over 65 million years and is indicated by Rhyolite which has been dated within the stone. Himekawa Yakuseki was first discovered in 1898 by Hirosaburo Sakurai and in 1905 by Okamoto Yohachiro. They are formed from hot springs with only 2 known localities, the Beitou Hot Spring in Taipei City, Taiwan, and the Tamagawa Hot Spring in Akita Prefecture, Japan. The name is derived from Hokuto, the Japanese name for Beitou, and lite, the English rock classification suffix. These are both protected sites by the Japanese and Taiwanese governments.
Himekawa Yakuseki is a great stone of strength and fortitude that promotes the power within you and channels it towards your desires. This can be done by an increase in confidence and the ability to refuse failure being an option mentally. So many times does a practitioner second guess their potential and demote their mindset to allow things to be unachievable. This is an insecure emotion that can be pushed aside when learning to use your body as a whole, not just your thought process. Himekawa Yakuseki can align the lower chakra system to ground your mental process and slow it down to not invoke spiritual blockages that hinder your self-fulling process here on earth. The personal will within you, specifically your solar plexus chakra, illuminates your soulful power and assists in the resonating of energy towards your true interest, activating your pure life path. It is on this journey that one can fulfill his prophecy by doing what he loves and leading a lifestyle that can also encourage others to follow their dreams. Through these actions not only are you raising your vibration, but also the energy levels of the ones around you as well.
