ANGELITE – HOLIDAY STRESS

 Our main focus for today, due to the holiday season, is the assistance to maintain calm and to be at ease.  Angelite is a good choice.  Other alternatives are Celestite, Blue Lace Agate, Tourmaline (most of the black grounding stones), Fluorite and the list goes on. 

Angelite assists in our feelings of peace and tranquility.  It is a stone of compassion which is also helpful during this time of year.  Angelite is also a good choice when working with anger and fear issues.

As a side note, Angelite is a higher vibration crystal and is a perfect stone for use in meditation, work with akashic records, visualization and telepathy, astral travel, etc. It has a connection with our spirit guides and our higher self; thus the name (angelic communications). It enhances our psychic and astrological connections as well.  We can certain forget to focus on self during this busy season.

Angelite is associated with the throat, third eye and crown chakras. 

Angelite is a blue/grey variety of Anhydrite which was discovered in Peru in the 1980’s. Angelite has a hardness of 3 to 3.5 which makes it popular for carving.

Do not ingest Angelite.

ELECTROPLATED DRUZY AGATE

Druzy is a collection of tiny crystals with a glittering effect.  The Druzy in our highlighted pieces are on an Agate host which has been electroplated to enhance the colours of the beadswith druzy inclusions occupying the openings or surfaces of some of the beads.

Druzy is considered to be a healing stone that purifies and amplifies the body's natural healing properties and strengthens the spirit.  Druzy is said to help release blocked energies.

Druzy’s energies work similar to crystal clusters and therefore are excellent when working in group settings for metaphysical development, meditation groups, support groups, etc.  Druzy will bring the group energies together.

Druzy’s metaphysical properties are directly linked to the host mineral.  As mentioned our host mineral is Agate.

Agate is a grounding stone that assists in balancing us emotionally, physically and intellectually. Agate harmonizes the positive and the negative. It assists us with self-confidence and concentration. 

Agate Geode is associated with the throat and heart chakras.  Druzy will heal and align all chakras.

This piece was created from a necklace our client provided us with as she no longer liked the style and wanted a fresh new elegant look.  Small faceted beads of pyrite have been added to the Druzy beads to add to the glimmer.

BALTIC AMBER, CARNELIAN AND QUARTZ

Back by request, we are highlighting this lovely bracelet of Baltic Amber, Carnelian and Quartz which is created for looks but also with joint pain in mind.

Baltic Amber when worn against the skin is warmed and releases small amounts of healing oils (succinic acid). The oils are absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream. The oils from Baltic Amber boost the immune system, reduce inflammation and are an analgesic used for pain. Baltic Amber also assists with varicose vein and increases blood circulation.

Red Carnelian is known to be beneficial for arthritis. It is said to speeds up the healing of joints, bones and ligaments and rejuvenates tissues and cells.

Quartz is the "master healer" crystal.  Quartz also magnifies the energy of other stones and is known for healing pain. Rutilated quartz is known for its intense healing energy.  It also fights cellular deterioration and strengthens are tissues.

This bracelet was created with memory wire so that it can be put on easily and without having to deal with clasps.
