Black Tourmaline
One of October's Birthstones, Black Tourmaline, originally called Schorl, accounts for most of the tourmaline, but it comes in several colors. It is a silicate mineral often found in quartz and mica matrix and is abundant worldwide.
Tourmaline dates to 1400 BC and is used by multiple ancient cultures as a protection stone. Due to its protective and grounding qualities, it is also known as the "Empath's Stone." It provides a protective shield around the energy body while balancing the Aura. It is one of the best grounding stones, relieving stress by transforming negative energy into positive, loving energy. Furthermore, Black Tourmaline supports one in clearing negative thinking, anxiety, fear, and the feeling of being a victim, bringing this plethora of energies into balance.
Some things associated with Black Tourmaline include but are not limited to:
- Excellent grounding/protection stone
- Rids the body of toxins

We are all empaths to a degree; however, if you take on the energy of others, then this is an excellent stone to wear as jewelry or carry in your pocket. If you experience discomfort at night or aches and pains, place a small tourmaline in your pillowcase.

The significance of smoky quartz is deeply rooted in its connection to the Root Chakra, which provides a sense of permanence, sanctuary, and grounding.

Historically, smoky quartz lost popularity but resurged in England during the Victorian era as a mourning symbol. Worn by those who had suffered loss, it was commonly worn for one to two years.

The sky in July is full of fireworks. Dazzling colors illuminating the opaque sky remind us of Fluorite.

Rhodonite is a unique gemstone (manganese silicate). It can be light brown to light/vibrant pink with black manganese oxide veins. Our awareness of rhodonite began in Russia (Ural Mountains) during the 18th Century, but its allure (and places found) has since spread worldwide. Notably, it holds the prestigious title of being the state gemstone of Massachusetts.
“Rhodonite” is derived from the word “Rose,” a symbol of love and beauty. In Russia, this gemstone held a special place in their hearts, as they believed that eagles would place the stone in their nests, which led to family members placing rhodonite inside a newborn’s crib, while others believe it strengthens body and spirit. They also believed that it enhanced one’s intuition.
Additional benefits of Rhodonite

- Promotes self-worth and self-confidence

Clear quartz is one of the planet’s most common minerals and has a global footprint. It is also known as Rock Quartz and ranges from “crystal” clear to milky white - a natural form of silicon dioxide. The name Quartz is of Greek origin and means ice. Quartz has the piezoelectric effect, meaning it will conduct electricity when squeezed or stressed. It also has reverse piezoelectricity; it squeezes and vibrates if you run electricity through it.
There are two types of crystals: hard crystals and liquid crystals. 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, including ultrasound, microphones (now in many devices, including 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 and can store and amplify any intention you desire. It can also amplify the 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, repeat the process.
Additional benefits of Clear Quartz
-Enhance communications with guides
-Amplifies psychic abilities
-Stimulates the nervous system
-Soothes pain, especially nerve

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 tigers would consume the first person he meets. 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 March as it parallels this month’s meditation focus, the Third Eye Chakra (Ajna).

What a way to start 2024- a stone encompassing new beginnings and the Heart Chakra. Moss Agate is a semi-precious gemstone formed from silicon dioxide. Interestingly...according to our research, Moss Agate is not an agate due to its lack of ‘banding.’ Think clear chalcedony with inclusions of chlorite, green silica, magnesium oxide, and iron, giving it a green or red mossy look.
The Ancient Greeks would wear Moss Agate to attract favors from their pantheon, and the gardeners/farmers would place it in their fields for an abundant harvest. In Ancient Arabic societies, Moss Agate was used in the eyes of the statues representing gods and found in the eye sockets of some mummies. American Indians believed the stone held the power to change weather patterns. Additionally, this stone is linked to midwives as they would use it for encouragement and pain reduction.
Other cool things attributed to Moss Agate include but are not limited to:
“Often considered the stone of abundance, growth, and stability.”

Citrine is a quartz whose color varies from pale yellow to bright yellow, orangish, and even smoky. All Citrine is formed when amethyst or smoky quartz is exposed to extreme heat (800° – 900°F). There are two types of Citrines found on the market today.... The first, which is most common, is heat treated in a lab, which excels in the amethyst or smoky to Citrine process. Second, it is naturally formed in nature through a process called “Geothermal heat,” which takes hundreds of years to complete. Both processes have qualities such as joy, positivity, and prosperity (merchant stone); however, geothermal heating is believed to be better at cleansing and detoxifying.
Our research indicates that Citrine was first used around 300 BC; the ancient Egyptians and Greeks used it for soothing anger and bringing prosperity, which is one reason it is also known as the Merchant Stone.
Other cool things attributed to Citrine include but are not limited to:
· Works great with Solar Plexus Chakra

Hematite is a ‘go-to’ stone for protection. Identified as the pigment in cave paintings, earliest human use exceeds 164,000 years. It was a primary source of iron, moving humanity from the Stone Age to the Iron Age. Interestingly, the human circadian rhythm is more aligned with Mars than Earth; Mars soil has 10-15% hematite, giving it a ‘red’ color. Initially, this stone was called bloodstone due to its reddish nature, which was eventually translated to Hematite.
Hematite is connected to the root chakra, our center of security and survival. It works to align, clear, and balance your root so you feel centered and secure. Moreover, Hematite helps you feel energetically protected by guiding you to release any energies you are not in harmony with, those that create a destabilizing feeling. Meditating with Hematite can help you achieve a higher state of being by connecting you with your inner strength. It is an excellent stone for someone who resides in their higher chakra, for it balances the polarities and creates the energy for one to manifest in this realm physically, something some residing in their higher chakras may find difficulty in executing.

Rose quartz is a stone of unconditional love for self, others, Earth, and universal love. It draws loving relationships of all kinds, as many consider it the ‘definitive’ stone for Love. One Greek lore says Cupid/Eros brought rose quartz to Earth, hoping the pink color would inspire love in humans. Another Greek wisdom is that of Adonis and Aphrodite, and Aphrodite was rushing to Adonis’ side after being attacked by Aries. She became entangled in a thorn bush, causing her to arrive too late; Adonis was dead because their love was so powerful when their blood spilled onto the quartz below, turning all the quartz in that area a rose color.
Rose quartz is a member of the quartz family, obviously but was once known by the name Bohemian Ruby. Check this out, sports fans; the earliest rose quartz bead was found in Iraq and dates to 7000 B.C. Today rose quartz is found in Brazil, Sweden, California, Maine, and South Dakota.

“Do not seek truth, for you are truth. Seek that which resonates and allow the vibrational frequency to shake away all that is not yours.” -Lemurian Download from a Lemurian Crystal-2018
Lemurian Crystals are a particular type of clear quartz and are believed to have a direct link to the Divine Feminine. Moreover, they possess soul unity and access to ancient Lemurian knowledge-the Motherland/continent of Mu. Lemuria was a peaceful, spiritual civilization that existed hundreds of thousands of years ago; however, we can still access their wisdom through the crystals they left behind. Color variations include clear, pink, golden, red, smoky, and tangerine—geographical locations to date-Russia, Columbia, or the Diamantina region of Brazil.
There are many stories regarding the destruction of Mu and the Lemurian Crystal; we will leave that to your imagination/desire to research. The crystals have growth lines or striations but some variations are known to be completely smooth. It was common for the crystals to fall from cave ceilings onto the cave floor; we would pick them up, knowing they were seeds of wisdom. The stones radiate unconditional love, healing, and the knowledge that we are all one-think quantum entanglement. The crystal serves its holder as a teacher; it is not to be programmed like traditional clear quartz -> instead, it's activated (for you) to receive the ancient wisdom.
Epic lineage full of wisdom, like the tree trunk rings, the Lemurian Crystal contains sacred messages and symbols represented in unique horizontal lines and grooves. One of the Master Crystals, tunes into your spiritual compass, working to unlock the secret door to your Soul.
