Black Obsidian

“Dragon glass is a common name in Westeros for the substance known as obsidian, a form of volcanic glass. Along with Valyrian steel, it is one of the two known substances capable of killing White Walkers.” – Game of Thrones Info.


Black Obsidian is an igneous rock-forms when molten rock cools so quickly that the atoms cannot coordinate into a crystalline structure. The timeline of humanity connects to this earth-formed stone as there are records of its mention connected to our earliest means of communication. This glass volcanic rock has quite a repertoire of uses, from tools to amulets.   

Black Obsidian, over time, metamorphosed into a more spiritual purpose. It became an excellent stone for scrying and, in perfect time, was embraced as a strong protector and clearer of energy that was non-harmonious to the situation, which has become the most common use for Black Obsidian. Early Shamans believed it was a gift of prophecy and removed physical disorders. “It (black obsidian) is all about enhancing what is going on emotionally and spiritually.”

Other cool things attributed with Black Obsidian include but are not limited to:

·  Powerful Grounding (component of Gaia)

·  Self-control

·  Dissolves mental programming

·  Cleanses the energy (auric) field

·  Releases cords

·  Enhances heart health, strengthens circulatory systems, and improves the function of the liver/gallbladder.

·  Great stone for empaths or those surrounded by ‘victim’ mentalities

·  Sheds light on truth-removes the illusion so you can see with clarity as things are...

Uses. Wear as jewelry, carry on person, put in pillowcase/near bed, and/or use during meditation. Place around your home, office, etc. – take advantage of the various forms it is available (tower, stone, pyramid, free-form, and so on).

Ocean Jasper

Also known as: Sea Jasper, Cellular Jasper, Orbicular Jasper, and Atlantis Stone


Ocean Jasper was first documented in the 1920’s; however, information was lost until its rediscovery in 1997-just ff the coast of Madagascar. Interesting, it could only be found during low tide and for safety reason, mining stopped in 2006. However, Sea Jasper is still mined in the same region.  It is a type of Chalcedony with a combination of a ‘powerful cocktail’ of minerals that evolved from the lava streams of primordial volcanoes. A soft/gentle stone-properties are exceptionally nurturing. 


This stone encourages you to embrace your inner essence (love, happiness, and joy). The meaning originates from its composition. Combining the energies of water and volcanic rock, this stone has both a fiery side and a cooler side.  The contradictory forces unite to lend you ‘whichever’ energy you need most at any moment.

Selenite

Why Selenite? Why for January? Think about it. The excitement/energy of the Holidays are gone, school is restarting, and many just feel exhausted...the entire energy associated with the first full month of winter (less sunlight) leaves a different feeling. Selenite brings light, a pure light, that will clear the energy. Everyone benefits and it provides us a refreshing vitality to start 2022.    


Selenite is most known for its ability to remove unwanted energy from other stones, your surroundings (environment) and self.  We live in a world of polarity so you could identify this unwanted energy as negative or stagnate, either way selenite is an excellent stone/tool to assist you in clearing.  


Selenite gets its name from the Greek Moon goddess, Selene-who is associated with inner peace and stability.  It has been used for eons in the realm of healing and spiritual awakening. It was used by the Ancient Egyptians, Native Americans, and Mayans for protection from negative energy and Aztecs believed Selenite alleviated emotional and physical pain.  Moreover, the Ancient Egyptians were known to place Selenite in Tombs to protect and guide the soul as it continued its journey.


Some uses for Selenite include, but are not limited to:

·  Cleansing aura, area, and other crystals/stones

·  Enhances psychic abilities

·  Assists in dream recall and lucid dreaming

·  Protects against negative (non-conducive) energy

·  Stabilizes environment and connect with moon energy

·  Clears and balances the mind and helps with focusing

·  Good for clearing creative ‘blocks’ 

·  Connect with the Angelic Realm-it is great for working with guides and/or angels

·  Draws in pure light

·  Protects from psychic attacks

Selenite can aid with skeletal problems-like arthritis. Again, great for clearing aura and toxins.   


Wear selenite to protect from non-conducive energy. Place under your pillow for dream recall. Selenite wand-use to clear aura. Place selenite in a room to calm environment and get stagnate energy moving. Use a piece, bowl, or slab to clear other crystals. Additionally, you can place a small wand above a doorway to cleanse energies walking in/out...as we do at our store.


Special Care-Avoid dampness of any kind as selenite dissolves in water

Chakra: 3rd Eye and Crown

Amethyst

Special care when dealing with an Amethyst as it can fade when in direct sunlight.


The name comes from the Greek word améthystos-meaning “not intoxicated.” Short story-Bacchus (wine god) became angry over an insult so to avenge himself he declared that the first person he meets would be consumed by tigers. The first person was a beautiful maiden named Amethyst on her way to worship at the shrine of Diana. As the tigers sprung upon her, she sought protection from the goddess and was saved by being turned into a clear white crystal. Bacchus, regretting his cruel intention, poured the juice of his grapes over the stone as an offering-giving the gem a lovely purple hue. 


We chose this stone for December as the Holidays, as special as they are, can be filled with a lot of emotional energy as friends/family gather to celebrate. 


Some uses for Amethyst include, but are not limited to:

·  Clears and energizes the air > great for any room of your home

·  Sobriety...Preventing drunkenness/overindulgence

·  Expands the higher mind 

·  Enhances one’s creativity and passion

·  Travelers wear it for protection from ‘surprises’

·  Soldiers wear it to refrain from harm and achieve victory

·  Protects from disease/infection

·  Eastern thought: Use to align planetary and astrological influences


Amethyst is an excellent stone to have in any/all rooms of the home, worn as an amulet or bracelet...or just to keep in your pocket.  Also, a great stone to hold while meditating.  


Purple is royal. It is elaborate, complete with the trimmings of majesty and ceremony. It is the color of fantasy and magic-it’s the color between red and blue...between the serenity of blue and the passion of red.


Mantra: I AM Worthy!

When worn as an amulet it was said to protect travelers-especially at night and when the moon is shining.

Septarian

Also known as “Dragon Stone”


Septarian consists of Aragonite, Calcite, and Limestone as it was formed 50-70 million years ago during the Cretaceous period.  Primarily found in Utah (where the Gulf of Mexico once spanned to) and Madagascar.  “In the day” the volcanic eruptions would kill the smaller sea life, which would sink to the ocean floor-where it started to decompose.  “The minerals in the shells and carcasses attracted sea floor sediments which accumulated around the carcasses and formed ‘nodules or mud balls.  When the ocean receded, the mud balls dried out and began to shrink and crack into the beautiful patterns you see inside septarian.”  A beautiful specimen only Gaia could create.  


Septarian is a healing stone-overall health and well-being.  It brings with it a calming energy and spiritual enrichment.  It is a stone that enhances communications on many levels-“...is used to enhance and nurture communications with groups, making it much easier to speak clearly and kindly in group settings.”

Shiva Lingam

Bling can be enticing but there are times when simplicity carries a more powerful punch. 


The Shiva Lingam is crypto-crystalline member of the Quartz family-brown jasper. This stone is only found in one of the seven sacred rivers in India, the Narmada River-hence it has been called the Narmada Stone.  A harmonic stone connects to both our masculine and feminine energies, that reminds us that we connected in unity to all creation. The Shiva Lingam is one that stimulates the energy system of the body.  


Yes, there is more to this stone than its affiliation as a phallic symbol of Lord Shiva. However, there is meaning in the shape. “It represents the phallus of the Hindu god Shiva and his union with Kali.”  The markings on the stone are referred to as the “Yoni” representing feminine energy or ‘the seed which is fertilized.’ It is also the shape of a cosmic egg, which is believed to be the center of Universal Creation.  Egg shaped crystals are powerful energy generators that naturally have BG3.

Smoky Quartz

The meaning of smoky quartz comes from its connection to the Root Chakra. It empowers by offering a sense of permanence and sanctuary-hence, the grounding effect. It is almost like a conduit for it connects to the supportive earth energies while also connecting you to a higher state of Being-guiding you from lower vibrations that might be weighing you down or holding you back. A very powerful stone when working on ‘releasing’ that which no longer serves you. This is important because one must release to receive-the perfect balance...just as in give and take.  


Somewhere in our linear timeline of thinking, smoky quartz became less warranted amongst the human species. However, it regained popularity during the Victorian era in England as a ‘mourning’ stone/jewelry. Worn by those who had suffered a loss, many would wear it for one to two-years. Maybe once removed it signified to the world they were over their loss???? This trend began when Queen Victoria wore it (smoky quartz) as mourning jewelry after the death of her husband, Prince Albert.  It was also used by placing outside of houses to prevent drifting spirits from entering a family’s dwelling. 


Other cool things attributed with smoky quartz include: 

  • Letting go of what no longer serves you
  • Removes ‘negative’ energies
  • Grounding-connecting with Mother Earth

Lapis Lazuli

Lapis Lazuli stems from the Greek word, “Sappheiros” and has been a part of our human evolution through the Eons-the Latin term means ‘Blue Stone.”  Lapis was often confused with sapphire so there are early writings where the word ‘sapphire’ was used when the stone was Lapis.


The oldest known ‘surviving’ literature is the Epic of Gilgamesh, an epic poem from Mesopotamia identifies Lapis in a couple of passages starting with Tablet 1, “Lift out the lapis lazuli tablet and read it, the story of that man, Gilgamesh...” This epic is also the second oldest ‘known’ surviving religious text, second to The Pyramid Texts.  Lapis lazuli is mentioned in the section, “Spells for Entering the Sky (Corridor, West and East Walls).” In my research I found that Lapis is mentioned in (roughly) 100 verses in the Bible-go figure. Coolest thing of all is that lapis is a beautiful blue with shades of silver/gray...just like the Dallas Cowboys!


Ancient Egyptians used the beautiful piercing stone for jewelry as far back as 3100 BC and in powder form it was used in medicinal elixirs; moreover, Cleopatra would grind it and use it as eye shadow. They also used it to entomb Pharaohs and roughly 2500 years ago it was a stone of Royalty in China. This deep-blue metamorphic stone was mined as early as the 7th millennium BC in modern-day Afghanistan.  Michelangelo would use it in his paints for when it was ground/processed it created this elaborate ‘ultramarine’ color and Buddhists recommended this stone to bring inner peace and freedom from negative thoughts.  Additionally, one of the rooms in the palace of Catherine the Great was made of walls of lapis-along with fireplaces, doors, and mirror frames.  


Known as the wisdom stone-“The Wisdom Keeper”

·  Enhances intellect and helps with teaching/learning

Fluorite

Traditionally referencing, fluorite experienced many names before it was known simply by Fluorite.  It is also called fluorspar. The name stems from the Latin word, fluere-meaning ‘to flow’. Dubbed the most colorful mineral known as it comes in a wide variety of colors-some predominant while others balanced.  The colors vary from purple, pink, yellow, green, blue, clear, and so on...it is like holding a rainbow in your hand. 


In ancient Rome, fluorite was one of the most prized crystals of the “Caesars” due to its complexity and design. Emperor Nero paid for what today would equate to $300,000 for a Fluorite cup-according to historical documents;).  Still today, fluorite is one of the most sought-after stones-due to its magnificent coloring/designs.  Fluorite has many different locations for its creation-Germany, England, U.S. and Argentina are some of the places. 


It is said to balance both hemispheres of the brain, which makes sense when you look at all the other attributes of Fluorite. It clears the environment and your aura of excess energy and/or energy that is affecting the aura.  It helps one make clear decisions and assists in harnessing/releasing scattered energies culminating in a harmonious flow-an excellent emotional healer. Additionally, it can assist healers/light workers in shifting to higher levels of energy. 


Other cool things attributed with fluorite include: 

  • Protects from negative energy
  • Clears aura
  • Sharpens mental awareness 
  • Stabilizes emotions
  • Shields from manipulation 
  • Strengthens bones/teeth
  • Addresses arthritic pain/discomfort
  • Shields from electromagnetic smog
  • Assists in relaxation
  • Assists in “Better Sleep”
  • Increases organization and focus of the mind
  • Promotes balance in relationships and emotions
  • Helps move beyond narrow mindedness
  • Repairs DNA damage
  • Beneficial for colds/allergies
  • Relieves nerve related pains/discomfort
  • Removes blemishes and wrinkles
  • Great for balancing the Third Eye (meditate with a piece of Fluorite and you will experience this:))
  • Useful when having to make clear headed decisions as it clears mental fog


It is a wind element, even though it has an oceanic color to it...



You can wear it, place it on person or simply have it in your ‘space’.  Again, a great assistant in helping organizing ideas and focusing on the task at hand. Another great ‘location’ for a piece of fluorite is near any Wi-Fi/electronics as it assists in clearing the electro-smog created by human devices.

The name “Emerald” comes from the Greek word for green, “Smaragdus” and Rome’s Pliny the Elder (1st Century) addressed Emerald in his work, Natural History—“...nothing greens greener” and regarding the work of those that engraved, cut or polished stones (lapidaries)-“...have no better method of restoring their eyes than by looking at emerald, its soft, green color comforting and removing weariness and lassitude (lethargy).”  The history of Emerald goes back to the days of Babylon and Ancient Egypt.  


First mined in Egypt emerald was known to be the favorite gem of Cleopatra; however, it gained global recognition in the 1500’s when the Spaniards reached South America and saw the native leaders wearing emeralds. Fascinated by the stone, the Spaniards quickly embraced and dominated the emerald trade markets.  Today it is primarily found in Columbia but also Brazil, Russia, and parts of Africa. 


The Romans viewed the stone as a symbol of fertility as emerald is the stone of Venus, the goddess of Love/Beauty. The oldest known emerald to exists is 2.97 billion years old. Christian’s view(ed) emerald as the stone of resurrection and we can’t forget about the writings of Hermes Trismegistus-The Emerald Tablets or if you prefer a different take, the Emerald Tablets of Thoth;).  


Emerald is a water element, which is cool when you think it takes water to make the grass green and it is during this time of year when many are out and about working on making their lawns green. 


Since other stones have surfaced in the awareness of humans, emerald may have lost a step of ‘glitter’ in those with eyes that only see ‘bling’ but never underestimate the power of emerald.  It is a powerful heart stone as it opens the heart and strengthens/clears the physical and emotional energies of the Heart. Listen up, this stone (Emerald) opens up the heart to accept love for self and others-it brings about abundance-abundance of all kinds. Abundance is not money, that is only a form but know there are many with a lot of money that are miserable within. Emerald captures the full spectrum regarding abundance.

January 2021

Clear Quartz

Clear Quartz is one of the planets most common minerals with its global footprint.  It is also known as Rock Quartz and ranges from “crystal” clear to milky white in color - a natural form of silicon dioxide.  The name Quartz is of Greek origin meaning Ice.  Quartz has the piezoelectric effect, meaning it will conduct electricity when squeezed or stressed.  It also has reverse piezoelectricity, if you run electricity through it, it will squeeze itself and vibrate.  

Clear Quartz is the perfect crystal for January 2021 as it encourages clarity, to assist you in making clear intentions for the New Year.


There are two types of crystals-hard crystals and liquid crystals.  Obviously, the hard crystals are the ones you carry in your pocket or have displayed around your office/home.  The liquid crystals are found in digital watches, laptop computer screens, and your body.  Therefore, quartz is used in many electrical devices to include ultrasound, microphones (which are now in many devices to include phones and computers), record players, printers and much more. As Dr. Bruce Lipton shared in his book, “The Biology of Belief,” you have liquid crystals throughout your physical body.


Metaphysically Clear Quartz is considered the Master Healer of all crystals.  It is highly programmable able to store and amplify any intention that you desire.  It can also amplify properties of other stones, and clear negative energy.  One of the best for manifesting your intentions. Multiple uses of your choice. Clear crystal-add intention…new intention, no problem-just repeat the process.
