Marialite is extremely powerful, should initially only be used for relatively short periods, and is not recommended to those just starting to work with crystals. It's purpose is not necessarily as a physical healer, but it's spiritual energy is similar to yellow amblygonite, and, when used in meditation, it brings in golden light through from the Crown and Upper Crown Chakras.
Marialite has an especially strong energetic connection with the Solar Plexus, but also clears, energises and balances all Chakras, especially the third Eye Chakra, helping us to develop our psychic abilities.
Marialite can burn off unwanted karmic energy and give us insight and acceptance of our own divinity. It also may be used to help us connect with all the higher realms.
