Carnelian


      Carnelian is known as an energy stone. It's source is in creativity: creative solutions for problems, creative inspiration, quick creative starts to projects and creative completions. All this energy drives away lethargy, anxiety, sadness, addictions and procrastination.  Best of all it improves our persistence especially in mundane situations, everyday situations that zap our well being. A very durable and beautiful stone it makes lovely jewelry and stone to skin is the best way to use it. It is one of my favorites.

Black tourmaline-schorl

        Sometimes we are in situations that make us feel drained, edgy or unsafe. There are many stones and crystals that have protective qualities. The most powerful of these is the Black Tourmaline. This bad boy is the mineral worlds body guard, taking negative energy and reflecting it away, often back to its source. It strengthens, grounds and increases energy as well. Pieces are inexpensive and easy to acquire. This photo is my home specimen. 😀
