It's a happy mail day for me today. I got my crystals that I ordered last Friday and over the weekend. Nakakatuwa kasi ang bilis ng shipping.
These two beautiful pieces are from Crystal Coal. The first one is citrine in clusters from Brazil and I swear I can feel it's energy~ I was a bit teary eyed and my heart was beating fast when I held it. It's so natural and raw that there's even needle like formations in between the towers. Citrine opens the higher mind to accept joy in one's life, releasing anger and negative feelings, deep-seated fears and destructive tendencies. An excellent crystal for overcoming depression, Citrine reduces the sensitivity to criticism and inspires creativity and self-expression. It's also said to be a powerful Stone of Abundance, as they bring abundant blessings to all areas of ones' life.
The second one is an enhydro geode, a formation that contains... water! That water inside it has been there for MILLIONS of years... imagine such a pure and unpolluted water safeguarded by the agate. The water element in Enhydro Crystals relate to feelings. It will cleanse and purify your emotions and thoughts, allowing you to speak with integrity, wisdom, and truth.
The second parcel came from Lucienne.
The first one is a smaller, albeit larger than what I thought of in the photos, smoky quartz. I ordered a large 7 inch tall one already on its way here, but I've been so drawn to smoky quartz recently that I wanted a piece at my home office. According to chamsoflight.com, "it gently neutralises negative vibrations and is detoxifying on all levels, prompting elimination of the digestive system and protecting against radiation and electromagnetic smog. Smokey Quartz disperses fear, lifts depression and negativity. It brings emotional calmness, relieving stress and anxiety." No wonder I am drawn to it so bad haha!
The small sphere is clear quartz with gorgeous rainbows... I initially skipped adopting this, but I think he/she sent it over as a freebie.
The cube is a Picasso jasper, also called as the artists' stone. Picasso Jasper assists in the transformation of relationships. It attracts like minded people who become loyal and trusted friends, as well as helping to renew old friendships that had been lost. It has strong grounding and calming qualities and helps to build strength and self-discipline.
People may or may not believe in crystals, but you can't deny how beautiful they look. As for me, I hold on to these beautiful gifts of Gaia, to remind me, even as I stay within the confines of my home, that nature is wonderful. It keeps me looking forward to the days when I can travel again, to the mountains, the forests, the sea, the culture of cities and the motions of people.
