    Top 5 Gifts for Crystal Lovers

    Top 5 gifts for Crystal Lovers

    Rose Quartz because everyone on this planet can do with a little more love, attention and generosity. Rose Quartz embodies that and while Clear Quarts is the one crystal that fits all, I believe that applies to Rose Quartz even more! I think a Rose Quartz heart is one of the cutest gifts you can get someone.

    Clear Quartz because it’s the one-size-fits-all crystal of course! A Clear Quartz Pendant is another perfect gift in my opinion. Who doesn’t love a beautiful piece of jewelry! You just CANNOT go wrong with this crystal, ever, for anyone!

    Sunstone because who doesn’t want some extra sunshine in their life? This is one of those feel-good stones that is perfect for everyone! It’s also a great addition to remind us of the sunshine especially with the cold days lingering! Sunstone is a great one to carry in your pocket so that you are in that warm bubble on the regular.

    Hematite to ground any stressful energy and remind us that we need to also be present and ENJOY the holiday. With the upcoming holidays, the last thing we want to think about is the list of things we need to do or haven’t done YET. Don’t let that list rob you of special moments happening right now.

    Lepidolite is the last one on my list for it’s anti-anxiety properties. The holiday time can be an anxious time for a lot of people. If there is someone in your life that gets a lil anxious or is challenged during this time, give them a hug AND some lepidolite. It may help them more than you know!

    Rock Shops

    If you don’t have a rock shop near you, take a look at my favourite South African online shops. If you are overseas, go say hi to HealingCrystals online.

    Share with me know what rocks you’re getting your bestie this Christmas?

  • Moldavite Profile

    Today I am talking about a stone I know FUCKALL about except what I’ve read in books. This stone persists in wanting to be shown so here I am sharing my story with it.

    My History with the Crystal Lettuce Leaf

    What can I say about Moldavite? It’s the crystal that every time I saw an image of, I wanted to throw up. I couldn’t understand why people thought this crystal was so awesome! For quite some time I formulated the theory that my home planet was invaded by wherever Moldavite originates and that’s why it effects me so strangely. I have no proof of this obviously, just what I said to explain my nausea.

    After seeing Moldavite after Moldavite for a few weeks straight, I figured it was time and for my birthday, I received a piece of Moldavite from work. Oddly enough, the nausea just disappeared and I thought I’d at least feel it a little bit, but nothing. I started clearing it after I received it and clearly heard “I don’t need to be cleared thanks.” I promptly stopped smudging it then LOL! Cheeky lil fellow.

    Moldavite has a lot of galactic, alien energy seeing as they were formed millions of years ago when a meteor crashed into earth. The meteorites fused with the earth’s materials and boom Moldavite was born. Some starseeds can find themselves attracted to it.

    For now my Moldavite and I are enjoying meditating together. I suppose that when the time is right, it’ll talk again so I’ll hang around and keep at it. Figures, seeing as I’m learning about waiting right now and the art of “I don’t know”.

    Moldavite to remind you that you are outta this world!

    Moldavite in a nutshell:

    • It is associated with the Third Eye and Heart Chakra.
    • Spiritual growth can be accelerated.
    • It enhances meditations/journeys, channeling and awareness of other outer space beings.
    • Always work with a grounding stone before and after working with Moldavite as it can leave you spaced out.
    • It reminds you that you are outta this world – stardust having a physical experience on earth.

  • Lapis Lazuli Profile

    Today I am highlighting Lapis Lazuli. Initially I wanted to go with Sunstone but I couldn’t remember why. After wrapping this coin of mine and sitting outside, I was like, “you’re the one”! Then I procrastinated talking about it until I decided that I’m declaring it safe to stop holding my tongue and post about my Lapis.

    THAT, is what Lapis Lazuli reminds us of: it’s safe to STOP holding your tongue and EXPRESS yourself! It’s a little ironic seeing as I procrastinated talking about this one right 😉

    Lapis is such a beautiful crystal with a blue as deep as the ocean. Water is linked to our emotions so combined with Lapis, you really have that emotional expression connection. Express whatever you feel you need to and get. it. off. your. chest!

    It’s Pyrite shimmer let’s you know, like a gentle hug, that it’s safe to talk. Remember that only you can declare that safety as your truth. I feel that it offers that element of protection to your throat and your communication. You ARE protected so say your say!

    Lapis Lazuli is also a great one to enhance meditation and energize that Brow Chakra baby!

  • Spirit Quartz Profile

    What you may not know is that when I do these posts, I rely on my intuition to guide me to the crystal for the week. I wasn’t sure what crystal I’d be focusing on this week but then my gift from Lynette arrived. I saw this crystal and KNEW it was THE one.

    I’ve always held a soft spot for Spirit Quartz because it has such a sweet vibration and this piece is no exception.

    Spirit Quartz speaks to what it’s name suggests: your spirit and it gently uplifts your spirit. It has such a great feel-good vibe to it. How can you not feel happy looking at it? If you’re going through a hard time or period of grieving, then this may be a good companion.

    When I first got into crystals, I remember buying 2 of my closest friends each a piece. It wasn’t until later that I learnt it promotes peace, harmony and benefits relationships too.

    I love how it has crystals stemming from all sides and it feels to me like it’s energy just wraps you up. This would make it good for manifesting I feel, because it sends out your intention on all levels. Basically it’s almost like it sends out all the helpers to get things going.

    Spirit Quartz is also known as fairy quartz. I can’t help but wonder if this would be a great crystal for working with fairies and elementals. What do you think?

  • Labradorite Profile

    Sweet, sweet Labradorite. It’s the one crystal to rule them all for me.

    A short story for you: Before I got into crystals, my Twitter friend Elisma shared her Labradorite with me. I always said it would be the first crystal I own. Probably a decade later later, when I first visited a crystal shop, I bought a piece. Only some time afterwards did I realise the link between what I had bought and what Elisma used to share with me.

    Labradorite speaks to me about magic: Your own inner magic, intuition and talent; as well as the magic of the Universe.

    It’s a good crystal to work with and develop your own inner magic. Also, it can be great support to you while you’re going through transformations – reminding you of the magic thereof.

    Apart from it’s magic, it’s a really good shield from negative energies. For me Labbie works better at protection, especially if going out into crowds. It’s one I feel is super helpful in a Lightworkers kit.
