Brucite! It is a magnesium hydroxide mineral. Brucite is most commonly white (in fact, it's often one of the constituent minerals of marble), but this particular specimen is from a locale in Pakistan which is famous for producing brucite with this yellow color!
In recent decades, a steady supply of aquamarine has come from northern Pakistan, an increasingly important mining locality. The aquamarine was mined mostly from the Gilgit-Baltistan region, including the Shigar Valley, as well as the Hunza and Braldu Valleys (figure 1). The aquamarine occurs in zoned pegmatites formed by hydrothermal fluids in the cavities or veins (M.H.

Group One: Rose Quartz. Receive with Love and Appreciation, Enclosure, The Moon, Death, Nine of Swords reversed, Knight of Cups. Your number is 34.
August will bring a sense of release, and an end to your pain, your fear, your doubts, your worries. There has been a heavy weight on your shoulders for some time now, keeping you from seeing and realizing what your life offers you, what the Universe has been offering to you, how much beauty and goodness surrounds you.
You’ve been doubting yourself, your abilities, your gifts, and the goodness in your life. You’ve been looking towards the end, wondering when these things will be taken away from you, when they will stop being here for you to partake in and enjoy. You may think you’re being practical; that by acknowledging the impermanence, you’re readying yourself for the inevitable ending. But really you’re wasting the time you do have, the goodness you’ve been given, the abilities inherent within you.
Yes, things must come to an end eventually. But rather than waiting for this end, you should be enjoying what time you do have. You should be enjoying what you’ve been given, being thankful for all your answered wishes. Looking to the future not with dread, waiting for an ending, but with excitement, preparing for a new beginning.
Look around you. Clear your mind for just a minute of all the doubts and worries. Look with open eyes, a clear mind, an open heart. Acknowledge and appreciate the beauty your life holds. The beauty you hold inherently within yourself. Look at al the good things you’ve been able to witness, to receive, to hold, to keep. Cultivate gratitude and consistent acknowledgement of the goodness in your life and in yourself. Appreciate all that you’re given. Stop taking things for granted, stop rushing towards the end, sit in stillness, in the present moment, with gratitude.
Remember that no matter how lost you feel, no matter how dark it may seem, you are always being guided by your truest self as well as your guides, the divine, the Universe. Let go of your fear and cultivate trust; know that you are not lost, you are not alone, you are where you’re meant to be in this moment. The lessons you’re learning are not always pleasant, but they are teaching you something. Open yourself to this knowledge, learn the lesson you’re being given, and move forward with the weightless knowledge that you are protected and guided, always.
Group Two: Yellow Brucite. Be Authentic to who You Are, The Great Everything, The Sun reversed, Queen of Cups reversed, Queen of Staffs (Wands), The Hierophant. Your number is 54.
August will bring a sense of growth, maturity, responsibility, and ending of old cycles. Gone is the boundless energy, the leap without looking mentality, the wonder and awe at what is to come, replaced by a sense of knowledge, of lessons learned, of growing up and moving forward. You are stepping into your own this month, determining just what you want your future to look like, figuring out exactly what it holds for you.
You have a tight reign on your reactions, your emotions, and your communication. You are very much in control of yourself, to the point where you’re right at the edge of restricting. Find balance between self-control and self-expression, don’t stifle one in order to encourage the other. You don’t need to hold yourself back in order to move forward in the world. You don’t need to cut off your emotions in order to be and appear mature. You don’t need to make yourself unhappy in order to find success.
In fact if you want to cultivate success in your life you will need to find happiness in fulfillment in your work. Pouring all your energy into something that gets you ahead in life but drains you of all energy, vitality, happiness, and excitement, simply isn’t worth it. You will not find applause or even a congratulations by pushing yourself further than you can handle. You will not find achievement by doing what you think you have to in order to be successful. You will find the recognition you crave by finding the work that envigorates you, that excites you, that fills you with passion and motivation.
Don’t follow the path laid out for you by someone else. Don’t be so afraid to disappoint other people that you end up disappointed with your own life, your decisions, your career, your life path. Don’t let anyone— including yourself— hold you back or box you in. Recognize that you are limitless. That you have limitless opportunities and choices to pick from. You don’t have to, and you are being encouraged not to settle for the first thing that offers success and recognition to you. Take your time, feel things out, do what is fulfilling to you.
Connect with your emotions, your desires, with the dreams you feel are impossible to achieve. Recognize that they’re not, that the only thing holding you back from achieving them is the limitations you place on yourself, and allow others to place on you. When you imagine your ideal, perfect future, what are you doing? What are you putting your energy into? What career do you have, what kind of lifestyle do you lead, what brings you a sense of fulfillment? Realize that these things aren’t limited to your imagination. Create your own reality. Create your own success. Find what fulfills you and chase it, claim it, make it yours. Let it fill your mind, your senses, your actions, your life.
Be authentic, express yourself. Focus on developing and expanding your connection with yourself. Learn about yourself, find every unexplored nook and cranny of your psyche and delve into it. If you don’t know who you are, what you want, who you want to be, now is the time to figure it out. Don’t rush, don’t go in with any expectations. Open yourself to all outcomes, open yourself to the possibility of being surprised by what you find within yourself. Open yourself to the possibility of being completely different than you, or those around you, thought you would be. You are your own person. Find that person within yourself!
You are being encouraged to reach out and develop an open and honest connection with the Universe. Explore yourself, your soul, your purpose. And while you do so, open yourself to the whispers you hear, to the connections you feel, to the inklings of knowledge that nudge at you. Don’t write anything off, don’t give in to the temptation to say you’re making this up. Dig into what you want to brush off. Figure out where it comes from, what it means. The Universe is guiding you to somewhere new, within yourself and within your life. Don’t be afraid to follow.
Group Three: Red Quartz. Climbing Mountains, Be Willing to Express Love, Ten of Staffs (Wands), King of Swords, King of Cups reversed, Page of Cups reversed. Your number is 2122.
August will bring a sense of challenges, growth, self-control, and mindful expression. There will be a lot of work for you to do before you’re able to reap the rewards you seek. You may feel very far off from your goals, your dreams, your needs, your desires. But in reality you’re very close to achieving them; there’s just a lot blocking your sight.
You will be called to let go of your need for control. You can’t control every situation, you can’t control any person outside of yourself, and you can very rarely completely control outcomes. You can shift situations, take meaningful action in order to get what you want, you can influence other people, and you can work towards specific outcomes. But you can’t control these things completely, and trying to do so will only waste your time.
Loosen your grip, allow your expectations to change as the situation changes. Be open to surprises, look at change not as an obstacle or setback, but as a new adventure. Develop curiosity towards your situation. Close your eyes and let your gut guide your hand. Realize that perfection doesn’t exist, not in people, not in things, not in events. Nothing will go exactly how you want it to, and that’s good. Things happen the way they’re meant to. Changes crop up in order to bring about better results.
The way you deal with these things will decide what the outcome will be. If you drag your feet, complaining that nothing goes your way, that you never get what you want, that you work so hard and get so little in return, those things will become true. You will be creating that as your reality, speaking your outcome into existence.
This isn’t to say you can never vent or complain, that you can’t be disappointed when things change, when they don’t go the way you wanted or expected. You’re allowed to express your feelings, you just need to do so in a healthy and constructive manner.
Instead of “Nothing goes my way” shift that to “The way I was headed was leading me away from what I wanted. This change in where I’m heading brings me closer to what I want.”
Instead of “I never get what I want” shift that to “What I want is not always the same as what I need. I need to be clear about what I need so that the Universe is easily able to bring it to me.”
Instead of “I work so hard and get so little in return” shift that to “I work hard and receive so many rewards for that work. I am grateful for all the Universe provides and gifts to me.”
Shift your focus, shift your mindset, shift your state of being and feeling. Develop excitement, develop curiosity, develop gratitude. Be thankful for what you have, and for all that is coming to you. Your needs and desires will be taken care of once you develop patience and follow through. Don’t let obstacles stop you in your tracks, figure out ways around them, and continue on towards your desired outcome.
Focus less on what you don’t have, and more on what you do. Express love, and gratitude for everything you’ve already received. Take all your determination and hard work, and put it into yourself. Starting a gratitude log, where you write 5 things every day that you’re thankful for, what you appreciate in your life, will do wonders for improving your mindset.
When you are faced with a challenge, look at how you react. Do you rush forward without thinking things through? Do you immediately give up and find something new to put your energy into? Or do you look at this challenge, and take your time figuring out how to deal with it? If you react one of the first two ways, become mindful of those reactions, and start shifting them towards patient continuation. You can’t lash out or give up every time things don’t go your way. Eventually you will need to learn endurance. Start the learning process now.
Group Four: Black Tourmaline. High Priestess reversed, Queen of Pentacles reversed, Ace of Swords, Wheel of Fortune, Forgiveness, Healing Gift. Your number is 4244.
August will bring a sense of grounding, a shift towards the physical, the external and away from the mental, the internal. August will bring you out of your head and into the world around you. If you’ve been focusing on yourself, on your inner world, your intuition, your spiritual connection, this is a sign that you’re doing good work, that you’re learning what you need to know, and that you need to balance this work as well.
Give your mind a break from the heavy lifting, give your physical body a workout, if you’ve been neglecting it. Take care of the real world connections and opportunities you have. Don’t focus entirely on what’s going on inside you, balance your focus with what’s happening around you as well.
The things you’re learning aren’t being presented to you just so that you can know them and do nothing with them. Your newfound knowledge has real world applications that you need to focus on developing and applying. Look at the world around you, not just your personal world, but at everything. What changes do you want to see? How can you go about bringing these changes?
This isn’t a sign to take the weight of the world onto your shoulders. You are not responsible for the massive changes necessary to create a better world. But you are capable of inspiring and creating change, in your everyday life, in the actions you take, in the words you speak and the people you choose to speak to.
You are being reminded to look forward, not backward. Be present in each moment, ground yourself in what’s happening now. You can’t change what came before, but you can change the way it affects you. Allow past hurts to inspire you to do better, to be better, to encourage others to be better as well. Let go of your attachment to the past, and move forward into the future you want to have. Realize that each decision you make now changes the shape of your future. Realize that you are the one creating your future for yourself. You are the one in control.
Work on not only letting go of the past, but healing from it. Holding onto what happened weighs you down, keeps you from moving freely, and keeps you in a state of grief and shame. You need to heal these things within yourself so that you can move forward with intention and purpose. Be kind and gentle with yourself, don’t punish yourself for what you’ve gone through, for the mistakes you made in the past, for the ways you were hurt and neglected. Heal yourself from these things, treat yourself with love and kindness, let yourself be free.
