Are you curious about the properties of your stones?
Jewelry can be so much more than just an accessory. It's a personal expression, and sometimes even a source of energy or intention. Many of us are drawn to specific gemstones not only for their rich colors and natural beauty, but also for the powerful properties they are believed to hold.
Here is a list of the stones we currently offer, and some information regarding their 'energy'.
Amethyst:
The Amethyst stone is generally a rich purple in color and is associated with the Crown and Third Eye Chakras. The Crown Chakra facilitates connection to the divine, while the Third Eye Chakra enhances intuition and wisdom.
The commonly believed emotional and mental properties of Amethyst are calming and balance, emotional healing, & clarity and focus.
The physical healing properties are believed to be pain and stress relief, improved sleep, & detoxification and immune support.
Under a more scientific lens, the Amethyst stone is made up of a variety of microcrystalline quartz, and the cause for its deep violet color comes from iron impurities within the crystal.

Amazonite is a bright pastel bluish-green in color. It is associated with the Heart and Throat Chakras. Amazonite is widely considered the stone of both inner and outer balance and harmony. It is referred to as the 'Stone of Truth' linking the Heart and Throat Chakras to promote honest and clear communication. Amazonite is also believed to calm and clear the nervous system to aid with stress, fear, and worry, promote self trust and integrity, and protect against negative energy. Amazonite is said to block electromagnetic pollution from electronic devices as well.
Amazonite contains many believed physical healing properties. As I previously mentioned, this stone can calm your nervous system but also alleviate blockages. It is also said to aid in the body's natural ability to absorb calcium for bone health, as well as cell regeneration for healing after a trauma or injury. This stone is also thought to aid in a healthy balanced metabolism.

Blue Lace Agate:
Despite the name of this stone, its color can be so close to white, you can hardly see the blue. This form of agate is known for its calming and peaceful properties; soothing feelings of anger and an over active mind. Blue Lace Agate is a stone of inner peace and tranquility. It is often used to ease stress and anxiety as well as help with emotional healing.
Landing within your Throat Chakra, Blue Lace Agate is also used for communication purposes, promoting a higher spiritual awareness and clarity, as well as self acceptance and compassion.
Scientifically, this stone is mainly a microcrystalline quartz and chalcedony made of silicon dioxide. The blue and white lace-like banding is from the layers of chalcedony with varying concentrations of minerals such as copper, manganese, or iron, which also influence the specific shade of blue.

Lapis Lazuli:
Similar to the previously mentioned, this deep blue stone is aligned with the Throat and Third Eye Chakras. Lapis Lazuli is said to hold properties of wisdom, truth, spiritual alignment, and clear communication.
This stone is believed to aid in healing and pain relief for migraines and headaches, as well as boosting your immune system, calming your nervous system, and cleansing your inner organs.
Scientifically, the rich blue color comes from high amounts of lazurite (a blue silicate mineral). Many pieces of Lapis Lazuli contain white streaks or flecks which come from the trace amounts of calcite, as well as gold streaks and flecks of pyrite.
