Rose Quartz
is the stone of the heart. It
is said to promote self love and heal an aching
heart. It promotes affection, compassion and kindness. Rose quartz is a
beautiful light pink transparent color. In beads you will find it is heavily
included, adding to the visual interest of the stone. Also note: rose quartz
beads are frequently ‘heat stabilized’ or enhanced. This means that if you
leave your rose quartz out in the sun for too long you may notice a bit of
fading. It is a stone for your heart, so be sure to give it a little extra TLC
in return. larger image |

Hematite
is
a metallic looking gray shiny stone. Some say it looks a lot
like gunmetal. I happen think it’s a bit more elegant than that.
Hematite is said to help with circulation problems and work
as a shield of armor. Be careful to keep your hematite in a
dry place. It is iron ore and will pit and rust if not cared
for properly. Beware of a thing called hematine. Hematine
is a manufactured material that, while it may look pretty like
hematite, is not the real thing.

White Howlite

a solid white stone with streaks of grey throughout. It has

means “without alcohol”. Ancient Egyptians were known to drink
out of amethyst cups to prevent hangovers. Amethyst is supposed
to enhance spiritual connections, relaxation and dream states.
Amethyst is a transparent purple colored stone. Note: in bead
form there are many inclusions. It will not look like cut amethyst
stones you see at the local jewelers.

Lapis
is a gorgeous royal blue color with striations
of white (calcite) and gold (pyrite) throughout. I try to always pick the stones
with the most pyrite in them as they really showcase the beauty of Lapis.
Legend has it that wearing lapis bestows great power to the sincere. It is
said to heighten insight and good judgment and bring you wisdom and clarity of
the mind.
