Pyrite

As spring approaches, I wanted to share a stone with you that aligns with the season.  Pyrite is generally associated with the sign of Taurus.  I know.  It's a little early for Taurus, but I'm excited for warmer weather and sunshine to get here.  Here's a little bit about Pyrite that you might not know.

Purple Jasper

When it's rainy and dark outside, I am always drawn to bright, colorful stones.  Here's one of my favorites.

It also makes a great power stone for studying a formal spiritual path, healing tradition, or training for mediumship. Stimulating the Crown Chakra, this stone creates an aura of wisdom and authority and can enhance your status and power. It assists in preserving your dignity and helps reduce contradictions that make decision-making or clear action difficult. It calms the emotional body, increases memory skills, and has the ability to focus multiple energies together for a single purpose. Prayer/Meditation for Purple Jasper...

Yes, I do research when I'm learning more about the stones I use in my jewelry.  The English teacher in me requires that I cite my sources.  Plus, if you want more information, you can check out the sources I have used here.  Pink Tourmaline has been used to reduce the proclivity for falls, in all ages, including toddlers learning to walk.

Pink Jade

With cold season fast approaching, I thought I'd tell you about a stone that is a great physical healer.  All jadeite including pink is considered a gentle healer with the ability to rid the body of toxins. It has a tremendous effect on the nervous system. Pink Jade, in particular, is not only splendidly beautiful, but it fosters love, wealth, and protection. Like all jades, Pink Jade symbolizes the Confucian virtues: wisdom, justice, compassion, modesty, and courage. So, not only is this a great stone to wear to keep your body healthy, it is a great stone for bringing healing to all areas of your life.   Prayer/Meditation for Pink Jade Earth below, sky above, fill the dark night with love. The morning sun...
