Hypersthene encourages self esteem, self respect and healthy expression of our emotions.  It helps us overcome shyness and makes us more comfortable and at ease in social situations and eliminates our excess pride.

Hyperstene is particularly beneficial to those who are critical, irritable or who suffer from too much pride.   Hypersthene can increase our personal relationships and maintain our business relationships. This flat stone encourages us to stand up for what we believe is right.

Answers to our questions come easily with hypersthene around. Hypersthene brings us info and can speed up the information we get from the spiritual realms. If consciously directed, Hypersthene can also open doors to desirable and boundless opportunities.

Hypersthene enhances clairaudience.  Physically, hypersthene reduces stomach acid, lessens pain and tension, especially in our limbs and shoulders.  It can reduce fevers, spasms, farsightedness, Achilles tendon pain and regulate an over or under active pituitary gland.
