What is it about these rocks that inspire
such wonder and longing? Is it the way
they reflect all the beauty around them with such simplicity? Their ability to catch light and hold it just
long enough to entice you to pick them up to examine their illusive
trickery? Or is it their innate and
intuitive healing and transformational qualities that have our hearts skipping
with a single glimpse?

Whatever it is, crystals have had us
exploring, climbing, digging and risking our lives to discover these gems
within magma, red clay and earth since the beginning of time. Turning the biggest skeptics and scientists
amongst us to use words like “In the presence of such beauty and strangeness,
people cast around for familiar metaphors.”
As they refer to the Crystal Palace of Mexico’s Chihuahuan Desert as
being like the Sistine Chapel – “In both cathedrals and crystals there is a
sense of permanence and tranquility that transcends the buzz of surface life. In both there is a suggestion of worlds
beyond us.” (Cavern of Crystal Giants by Neil Shea for National Geographic)

Crystals have long held a fascination for
me and as I type this, clear quartz ring on hand, I sense a stillness that
makes everything ok with the world. Their
impressive six-sided prisms of pure light and energy, which sparkle the entire
colour spectrum, have me fondling their structures with pure joy.

And I’m not the only one - Ancients
believed these stones to be alive, taking a breath once every hundred years or
so. Almost every civilization from the
Aztecs to the Egyptians to as far back as the folk of the Atlantis have used these
stones for healing, meditation and spiritual development.

So if you need a little clarity during this
crazy waning gibbous moon like I do - let go of the notion that jewels and gems and just
for Mystics and Gypsies.

Adorn your body with these gifts from the
earth and allow their natural beauty and wisdom to filter out distractions and
help to empty the mind. Why not clarify
your thought processes and emotions and increase inspiration and creativity and
call it fashion?!

Beauty
that balances energies, brings harmony and sets us free…
I’m
into that…
