TAURUS SUNSTONE - BALTIC AMBER

We continue with our focus on the birthstones of the Zodiac sun sign Taurus.  The birthstones or sunstones for Taurus include Amber, Coral, Emerald, Rose Quartz, Sapphire and Turquoise.  The planetary stones for Taurus are Aventurine and Emerald, and the Talisman is Garnet.

 

Today we highlight Amber which is a fossilized tree resin but it is used in jewellery as any other crystal, mineral or stone.

 

Metaphysically, Baltic Amber is also associated with desire, sensuality and romantic tenderness. Understandable why it would be a sunstone of Taurus.

 

It is said that Amber promotes creativity and confidence while easing stress. Its energies are said to promote patience, balance and understanding.

 

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

 

Amber is associated with the second Chakra but is used to cleansing all chakras.
