💎 AQUAMARINE LORE:
The word Aquamarine comes from the Latin word 'Aqua Marinus' which means 'water of the sea'. In history, it was believed to be the treasure of mermaids, and was used by sailors as a talisman of good luck. It was also considered a stone of eternal youth and happiness.
Aquamarine is a great stone for overcoming fear. It also aids discipline, perseverance and commitment. Aquamarine is also a wonderful stone for travel, or for trips on boats as it provides protection from the ocean. A stone of natural justice, Aquamarine utilizes compromise and negotiation. It gives quiet courage and carefully reasoned words in confrontational situations. It is calming, soothing, and cleansing, and inspires truth, trust, and letting go.
💎 HIMALAYAN CLEAR QUARTZ LORE:
Himalayan Quartz is a rare and ancient variety of Quartz that formed within the Himalayan Mountains, running through Nepal and Bhutan, and creating the border between India and China. It is almost always gathered by hand, due to the fact that it is near impossible for machinery and heavy tools to reach the mountains where they are found. The majority of Himalayan Quartz gathered has a smoky look or is full of red Hematite inclusions, but the rarest and most beautiful pieces found are so clear that you can see through them completely.
In regard to their history, Quartz crystals have been thought of as a source of light to mankind since ancient times. Highly valued by spiritual leaders and healers as well as scientists, quartz crystals have played a key role in our development over the last few thousand years. Cultures like the Native American Indians, African tribes, Ancient Egyptians, Aztecs and Roman used quartz for meditation, healing rituals, spiritual development and magic.
Today, Clear Quartz is thought to be a crystal that brings clarity, energy and power to its wearer. It is said to help bring balance into one's life, aid in manifestation, and help one's creative drive. As well as this, Himalayan Clear Quartz is thought to radiate a calming energy and provide a shield to protect from negativity.
💎 AURORA OPAL LORE:
Aurora Opals are lab-created Opals that use Silica (the natural compound that all Opals are made of) and combine it with Polymer using a complex layering process, creating incredible swirly plays of colour in the most gorgeous colours. Unlike natural Opals that are extremely delicate, Aurora Opals are stronger, more resistant to chemicals, and not susceptible to color fading.
Aurora Opals are considered to be wonderful stones for improving one's mood, creativity, independence, growth and self-esteem. It's said to be powerful in reducing anger, promoting a sense of joy and fulfillment, increasing memory and helping to guide enthusiasm in areas of creativity. As well as this, Aurora Opals are thought to improve both mystical and psychic powers.
