Baltic Amber also assists with varicose vein and increases blood circulation.

Baltic Amber is well known for its healing energies and has been worn by children for their protection since ancient times. Baltic Amber is also ideal for teething toddlers.

FULL MOON (BLACK PEARL)



We thought it only appropriate to showcase our new moon tree of life while experiencing today’s Taurus New Moon. Our new moon is made with a black Pearl which reflects little light just as our new moon.

When an irritant, such as a grain of sand, becomes trapped in the mollusk, to protect itself, the mollusk secretes substances (as uses to build its shell) in layers and a pearl is formed.  A pearl has a hardness of between 2.5 to 4.5.

In Astrology, it is suggested to wear jewellery made of pearls to assist those born with a misaligned moon as this will help to enhance love and trust with your spouse or partner. 

The tree, in part, is a wonderful symbol of how we are all interconnected.  When researching the history of our families it is not by co-incidence that it is call a “Family Tree”. 

The roots of the tree reach deep.  They represent stability, the ability to nurture and are grounded. 

The branches of the tree are far reaching teaching us to continually expand. 

Branches grow in all directions intertwining with each of the neighbouring trees.  This reminds us that we are to reach out and touch all of those around us. 

The leaves are created and released.  They teach us not to be attached to material things for they are fleeting.  They also remind us that all life has cycles and each cycle has its own important purposes.

Pearls are linked to our heart chakra and trees are a mirror of life itself.

Today take advantage of the new moon cycle.  It is a time to plant new seeds in the garden of life.

Pearls over time have been the birthstone of February, April, June, July and November.

Specifically, gold coloured pearls are linked to prosperity.
