Blue Sandstone: The Gemstone of Cosmic Calm, Ambition and Inner Night Vision
Affirmation: I am stardust in motion. I trust my path, honour my vision and shine in my own divine timing.
Blue Sandstone is the gemstone of midnight magic. It shimmers like a star-strewn sky and speaks to the soul that sees possibility in the dark. Known as the Stone of Ambition, Blue Sandstone carries the frequency of calm determination, intuitive insight and limitless potential. At ÎLE KEKERE, we align Blue Sandstone with Nyx, primordial goddess of night, mystery and divine inner power. Together, they become a talisman of sacred self-belief, quiet confidence and spiritual grace. This is the stone for the woman who walks her own way, guided not by noise but by the constellations within.
Blue Sandstone and the Goddess Nyx
Nyx is one of the oldest goddesses in Greek mythology. She is the night personified, the velvet darkness from which all light is born. Her energy is magnetic and mysterious, not meant to be explained but felt. Blue Sandstone mirrors Nyx in every way. Both offer comfort in the unknown, encouragement in the unseen and strength in stillness. Worn with intention, Blue Sandstone becomes your midnight compass, reminding you that even in your quietest season, you are still radiant, still becoming.
Origin of the Name
Despite its celestial look, Blue Sandstone is not a naturally occurring crystal but a man-crafted glass infused with copper particles. Its name refers to its sandy sparkle and blue-night colouring. It is also known as Blue Goldstone, though at ÎLE KEKERE we prefer the more intuitive and cosmic resonance of Blue Sandstone.
Trade Names
You may find Blue Sandstone labelled as Blue Goldstone or Star Stone. Its golden shimmer is created by suspended metallic inclusions which give it that unmistakable galaxy effect. Though man-made, Blue Sandstone is valued in metaphysical traditions for its vibrational energy and symbolic significance.
Synthesis and Properties
Blue Sandstone is a form of glass created by fusing quartz sand with cobalt and copper under high heat. At ÎLE KEKERE, we only use high-grade, ethically made Blue Sandstone to ensure energetic resonance and consistent brilliance.
It resonates with the third eye and throat chakras, supporting vision, expression and self-trust. Though glass-based, it is durable and scratch-resistant, with a rating of around 5.5 to 6 on the Mohs scale.
Uses in Jewellery and Ritual
Blue Sandstone is often used to support ambition and resilience. Worn in jewellery, it helps bring clarity of purpose and protection against self-doubt. It is ideal for new beginnings, long-term goals and moon-based rituals.
In practice, Blue Sandstone is used during meditations, visualisation work and intention-setting ceremonies. It helps to quiet the inner critic and reconnect to one's soul vision. Many wear it when launching something new or navigating the unknown.
Colour and Appearance
Blue Sandstone is a rich navy blue with a deep shimmer that mimics the night sky. The glittering effect is created by suspended copper particles that sparkle in movement. Some pieces have a purplish tint, making them appear otherworldly and luxurious.
History and Symbolism
Though modern in origin, Blue Sandstone carries ancient symbolism. It is linked to celestial navigation, the wisdom of stars and the quiet power of the void. In contemporary crystal work, it is known as a stone for dreamers, leaders and those walking soul-led paths.
Blue Sandstone is believed to offer psychic protection and energetic alignment. It is a symbol of infinite potential and universal guidance, offering calm in uncertainty and courage in the dark.
Where It Is Found
Blue Sandstone is created through a controlled process in Europe and parts of Asia. While not mined like traditional crystals, it is crafted with intention and precision. ÎLE KEKERE sources from partners who prioritise ethical creation, quality and spiritual resonance.

Guided Ritual with Nyx and Blue Sandstone
For divine timing, intuition, and night-sky clarity
This ritual is for when you’re in the in-between. When your dreams are planted but not yet seen. When you need to trust the dark and remember that stars are born in silence.
You will need:
A Blue Sandstone talisman (ÎLE KEKERE bracelet or pendant)
A dark blue or black candle
A piece of paper and pen
Optional: lavender or mugwort incense
1. Set the space
Light your candle. If you’re using incense, let the smoke swirl around you. Place your Blue Sandstone in your left palm (your receiving hand).
Whisper aloud:
“Nyx, mother of the night sky, I honour your mystery and welcome your wisdom.”
2. Close your eyes
Breathe deeply. Picture the night sky within your chest. Not empty—alive. Full of unseen stars.
Hold your Blue Sandstone and say:
“I call in clarity. I release fear of the unknown. I walk in trust.”
3. Automatic writing: Receive the night’s message
Take your paper and write:
What does the night want me to know?
Let your pen move without thinking. Write for 5 to 10 minutes.
4. Seal with starlight
Hold your paper over the candle (not to burn—just to charge). Then place your Blue Sandstone on top of it. Repeat your affirmation:
“I am stardust in motion. I trust my path and divine timing.”
Blow out your candle. Keep your journal entry with your jewellery overnight.
