This stimulating and protective stone holds a deep red colouring, often flecked with shades of grey. Some stones can take on an orange glow whereas others can be as brick red as a chimney. The shading comes from its high level of iron, which is why it also has such a grounding glorious force. It’s a heavy stone in its heart, laced with a gravitational pull and fresh with memories of the earth's molten core.

It is also said in the bible that this stone adorned the breastplate of Aaron, the first high priest. It was a stone of Isis and Amazon warriors.

These fibres form in a parallel yet wavy orientation, and this causes the intriguing chatoyant effect exhibited in Tiger's Eye. During the replacement process, the iron within the Crocidolite dissolves and stains the Quartz, thereby providing the golden yellow to brown colour of the Tigers Eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name \"chatoyance\" originates from the French word \"chatoyer,\" which means \"to shine like a cat's eye.\" The analogy also matches the way a cat's pupils will narrow to a thin slit under bright light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA good analogy for the chatoyance effect is how light reflects to form a line across the surface of a spool of silk thread. Viewing and moving a spool of silk thread under a beam of incident light can be a useful way to develop an understanding of how parallel inclusions produce an \"eye\" within a gemstone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a chatoyant gemstone, the band of light will move back and forth beneath the surface of the stone as it is turned under a beam of light. The band will also move if the position of the light is moved, or the observer moves his head to view the stone from a different angle. The motion of the cat's-eye across the top of the gem is one of the things that makes these stones so interesting, beautiful, and desired by many people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTigers Eye stone history dates back thousands of years to when the golden-brown quartz was carved into amulets and talismans worn by ancient Roman soldiers. The tiger eye gemstone \"flash\" was also believed to be distracting to the opponent of a warrior or soldier. It was believed to help one remain calm and courageous, stay focused and persevere like the unwavering focus and determination of a tiger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tiger has infinite patience it will wait steadfastly until the time is right for it to begin the unwavering pursuit of its prey.

Tiger eye gemstones impart this balance and harmony by helping one to think clearly without anxiety or fear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTigers Eye imparts compassion, grace and unconditional love and will facilitate communication by allowing one to participate without anxiety or fear. The ability to think clearly with unwavering focus will provide a better understanding of one's path and how one can become a helpful force in the world.\u003cbr\u003eGemstones that have a more golden tiger eye colour are believed to impart a deeper sense of commitment and devotion. They facilitate mature enthusiasm, a desire for lifelong commitment and unconditional love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuddha Symbolism:-\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause Buddha is not merely a name but also a title, sculptures of Buddha are meant to symbolise the process by which one can get a comprehensive and profound understanding of life.

Because of its massive size and towering height, the elephant spirit animal naturally signifies strength and power. But even with its intimidating presence, the elephant totem can also be one of the friendliest and gentlest creatures in the world, provided you are friendly and gentle with them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElephant Symbolism:-\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no creature on earth quite like the elephant.

When an elephant appears in your dreams, it can be a sign that there’s an obstacle in your life that needs to be addressed that can’t be ignored any longer. The animal’s wisdom will help guide you to the right decision and clear the way for you to find good things and cultivate happiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNative to Africa and Asia, the animals have special significance there. The Hindu god Ganesha is believed to be a remover of obstacles. He’s the god of beginnings, whom people worship before starting any major endeavour in their lives. In China, the elephant is a symbol of strength and wisdom. Buddha is often portrayed as an elephant, and his mother is believed to have had dreams of an elephant before his birth. The Ashanti people revere elephants as their reincarnated leaders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSyenite with Sodalite:-\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis material is always marketed as ‘Yooperlite’. Now this may surprise you but a Yooperlite’ is actually a trademarked brand of what is officially known as a “syenite rock rich with fluorescent Sodalite”. But if you’re unsure of what exactly it is we’re talking about here, a ‘Yooperlite’, in short, is a special kind of fluorescent rock that will display a strong orange glow when subjected to UV light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fascinating discovery is owed to Michigan man Erik Rintamaki, who also holds the aforementioned trademark name. The material was first discovered by Erik along the banks of Lake Superior but has since been found in other locations, mainly in Greenland and China.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSodalite is not classified as rock, but as a deep blue mineral that is cut and carved as statues, pyramids, and obelisks. Sodalite if often confused with Lapis Lazuli because of the similar colour tones and sometimes sold as the much more expensive Lapis Lazuli by unscrupulous or uninformed merchants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name Sodalite reflects this mineral's Sodium content and was named by a Glasgow chemist, Professor Thomas Thomson, who had been hired by the British to identify the stone after they had captured a shipment of it being sent from Greenland to Denmark during the Napoleonic Wars.  Although first discovered and recorded in 1806 in Greenland, it took until 1891 for this attractive deep blue stone to become important in the world of ornamental stones.  It was then that it was found in vast deposits in Ontario, Canada, by Frank D. Adams, during the Geological Survey of Canada.  Later, as it was chosen as an interior decoration for the Marlborough House in England by Princess Patricia who had been visiting Ontario at the time and who had fallen in love with the stone, many began to refer to it as \"Princess Blue\".  Sodalite has also been called \"Canadian Blue Stone\" or simply \"Bluestone\". \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSodalite encourages being true to self and standing up for your beliefs. A stone of self-expression and confidence, Sodalite can aid in issues of self-worth, self-acceptance, and self-esteem. Sodalite promotes intuition and a trust in one's own judgment, which can be a great ally in daily life. Sodalite helps to achieve emotional balance, releasing old conditioning and programming of the past which no longer serves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA stone of awakening, Sodalite stimulates the Pineal Gland and the Third Eye, and deepens meditation. Sodalite is helpful for those who find themselves to be over-emotional, due to its ability to focus energy on the Third-Eye and Throat Chakras. This will allow one to use more logic and intuition, rather than the emotions from an over-developed Heart Chakra. Sodalite helps to enhance psychic abilities while discouraging any obsession about such abilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSodalite encourages discipline and will in one's personal and public lives, and can be a facilitator of career advancement when used in this manner. Carrying Sodalite during the day can help one to find efficient ways of dealing with daily tasks and problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace Sodalite next to your computer to help clear electromagnetic pollution. Sodalite works with the Throat and Third-Eye Chakras to help and guide one on their spiritual path by opening a window into the subconscious mind, pulling subtle images into the conscious mind. Sodalite can also be an aid to those studying symbolism and its role in the greater scheme, by helping one to become aware of the patterns that can occur over the course of one's life, and their meanings and purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhysically, Sodalite can ease anxiety and panic attacks, mental confusion, and fear\/phobias.

Now a large amount of Agate is formed in volcanic rock, and is s a product of the extrusives from volcanoes.  Lava, tuff, scoria, but they have to cool and be subject to the hydrothermal processes before agate is deposited.  I guess to call it \"extrusive agate\" is just not as catchy as \"Volcano Agate”, but if you envisioned this material shooting out of a volcano with this awesome UV reaction…..sorry to burst your bubble….. not how it happened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular material has very strong UV reaction of a green colour and \u003cbr\u003e is UV reactive because it contains uranyl ions that are bound to the silica surface. The uranyl ions cause a green photoluminescence when exposed to UV light even at low concentrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenerally Agates are named after the place they were first discovered. Found in the ancient Achates River in Sicily (now the river is known as Dirillo or Acate). Theophrastus in 315BC mentioned in his treatise “On Stones” that the gemstone Agate derived its name from the Sicilian River. Research shows that Agate was used in Babylon as an amulet and ornamentation material. Its use has also been seen in Greek and Egyptian civilization. There is also evidences that Agate has been in use in India since ancient times. While the original form of Agate was found in Sicily, today varieties of the stone can be found in almost every corner of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgate is one of the commonly found gemstones in the world. There are numerous varieties of stone making it is truly versatile and effervescent stone. Agate is banded chalcedony belonging to the crypto-crystalline quartz family. Agate is more like an umbrella term used to describe the many varieties of stones that have similar but also distinctive compositions and properties. Varieties of agate are usually distinguished by their colour or pattern and also by their place of origin. Agate is usually found in every colour known to mankind and even in a colorless form. Plume agate is a variety of agate that is distinguished by its colour. It is a red-brown and white-coloured banded stone that has patterns naturally inscribed within its translucent body. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgate is one of those gemstones that have a low intensity which metaphysically means that it vibrates lesser than other stones. Even then it is highly valued for its stabilising effect and strengthening capabilities. The bands that invariably appear in all types of Agate may seem delicate but in reality, they all represent strength. Agate is known to help balance emotions, energize the intellectual capability of a person, improve a person’s physical stamina and balance the positive and negative forces of nature. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgate can help those who have repressed emotional issues that need to be addressed so that they can let go (release) and heal. Many feel that Agate has an anti-depressant quality. It can be helpful for those who are struggling to be genuine in their lifestyle, as it promotes an understanding of the need for deeper meaning. Agate stimulates the exploration of the unknown and furthers ones quest toward the enlightened state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarry Agate to promote creative ability in any project or goal. Agate promotes creativity, and encourages one to find solutions rather than focusing on negative aspects of daily challenges. Crystal healers like to use Agate for its soothing and calming qualities. Agate energizes the auric body and encourages eternal and constant love by bringing in the energies of Universal and Unconditional Love. Agate is a reminder that we are love and compassion in action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn general, Agates carry a quiet energy that works on the subtle bodies, and are great for achieving stability and balance in many aspects of one`s life. Agates tend to work behind the scenes on the cause, instead of the symptom, of an issue. Agate is believed to improve mental functions and can help where issues of clarity and stability are concerned. Agate is also helpful in overcoming negative emotions by bringing love into the chakras. Although they work very slowly and deliberately, this gentle nature of Agate helps them to have a lasting impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuddha Symbolism:-\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause Buddha is not merely a name but also a title, sculptures of Buddha are meant to symbolise the process by which one can get a comprehensive and profound understanding of life.

It was discovered around 2021 and compared to previous veins or seams it is only quite small and according to some sources it has already been mined out. Since price is largely driven by scarcity the premium price is applied. I managed to obtain a small amount of polished offcut material from the manufacturer of Palmstones and Spheres with a great high gloss polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDon’t get me wrong this is beautiful material, (although not my favourite OJ), with wonderful colours and a multitude of orb formations throughout, but in short it is merely the 8th occurrence discovered of Ocean Jasper in Madagascar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn general, Jasper is known as the “supreme nurturer”. It sustains and supports during times of stress, and brings tranquility and wholeness. Used in healing, Jasper unifies all aspects of your life. Jasper reminds people to help each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe word Jasper comes from “iaspi” a Greek word that means “spotted stone”. Jasper is an opaque rock of virtually any colour stemming from the mineral content of the original sediments or ash. Patterns arise during the consolidation process forming flow and depositional patterns in the original silica rich sediment or volcanic ash, Hydrothermal action is generally thought to be required in the formation of jasper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJasper can be modified by the diffusion of minerals along discontinuities providing the appearance of vegetative growth, i.e., dendritic. The original materials are often fractured and\/or distorted, after deposition, into diverse patterns, which are later filled in with other colourful minerals. Weathering, with time, will create intensely coloured superficial rinds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe classification and naming of jasper varieties presents a challenge. Terms attributed to various well-defined materials includes the geographic locality where it is found, sometimes quite restricted such as \"Bruneau\" (a canyon) and \"Lahontan\" (a lake), rivers and even individual mountains; many are fanciful, such as \"forest fire\" or \"rainbow\", while others are descriptive, such as \"autumn\" or \"porcelain\". A few are designated by the place of origin such as a brown Egyptian or red African.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOcean Jasper is a trade name for a multi coloured Madagascan stone with spherical patterning set against a contrasting background colour. Although random pieces are documented from the early 20th century, their precise origin was unknown.  A Frenchman living in Madagascar named Paul Obeniche discovered the source in 1999 and introduced the stone to the general public at the Tucson gem show in 2000.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany in the metaphysical community believe that new stones reveal themselves at specific times in the evolution of human consciousness.  Because it was discovered in 1999 and introduced to the general public in 2000, Ocean Jasper is sometimes called “Millennium Jasper”. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name reflects the stone’s unique relationship to the sea and was originally discovered and collected at low tide, on the shoreline of the Indian Ocean, and often resembles water. Although called a jasper, the stone is actually a mixture of different forms of quartz - clear and coloured varieties of chalcedony, banded agate, and pockets of tiny quartz crystals called druzy.  When examined under a polarised light microscope, Ocean Jasper becomes chalcedony spheres floating in a sea of chalcedony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOcean Jasper comes in every colour of the rainbow. Almost all pieces have some green, white, or earth tones like grey, cream, and tan on them. Warm colours like yellow, peach, and reddish orange are the next ones most likely to be seen. Dark red, bright pink, and light purple are more unusual, whilst dark  blue is rare while greyish blue and blueish green are more common.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOcean Jasper blends the metaphysical properties of multiple varieties of chalcedony, each associated with well being in different parts of our lives.  Colorless, White, to Blue Chalcedony for clear communication, cutting through illusion, and success. Yellow, Red, to Orange Carnelian for vital energy, empowerment, and spiritual protection. Banded Layers of Agate for mental focus, balanced interactions, and endurance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreen is the most consistent colour, a less common variety of chalcedony known as plasma.  The word comes from the Greek plasma (“something moulded”), after its popularity for carving wax seals in antiquity.  People once believed it was the host rock for emerald, poetically naming it the “mother of emerald”.  Because of this symbolic relationship, plasma took on emerald’s attributes of healing, comfort, and growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a stone of green goodness, Ocean Jasper supports energy work like Reiki and Earth centred modalities like herbalism.  It pairs well with other healing stones like jade, turquoise, and chlorite included quartz.  Minerals used for well being are often blue and green, after the life giving qualities of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOcean Jasper is only found in one place, the remote northwestern corner of Madagascar, an island nation off the southeastern coast of Africa.  However there are actually two different sources, about ten miles apart. The mine near the village of Marovato is directly on the shoreline, the material there comes in a wide range of colours. The village of Kabamby is located near the other mine and is further inland The material there tends to be dark green and golden yellow, sometimes cream and red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the mine near Kabamby is still productive, the deposits near Marovato are currently exhausted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most consistent meanings given to Ocean Jasper are uplifting feelings, going with the flow, and processing emotional trauma.  Ultimately these derive from its relationship to the tides.  Ocean Jasper was discovered by chance at low tide and gathered along the shoreline before the underground veins were worked.  After being collected the rough material is transported by boat at high tide, since the area is too remote for roads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stone itself resembles waves, concentric ripples, and sea foam.  Water is a traditional symbol of our feelings and the tides signify our emotional highs and lows.  Ocean Jasper represents the rhythms of the inner sea - upwelling feelings like joy, happiness, and contentment, expressing our emotions, and sifting through our personal flotsam and jetsam, the things unintentionally and intentionally left behind during a crisis.  Many interpret its vivid colours, bubbly orbs, and druzy starbusts as energy signatures of positivity, spontaneous child like joy, and a passion for life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOcean Jasper combines especially well with other watery stones like aquamarine, clear quartz, and shungite and organic gemstones like coral, pearl, and amber that come from the sea. Ocean Jasper also combines well with other purification stones, especially those connected to one of the five classical elements like obsidian, salt, and naturally tumbled rocks like Shiva lingas, riverstone, and water worn pebbles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince it was originally found and harvested in the surf, some in the metaphysical community connect Ocean Jasper with Atlantis, the legendary island that sank beneath the waves, calling it Atlantean Jasper or Atlantis Stone.  Interestingly Madagascar itself is directly related to Lemuria, a different lost land discussed in both 19th century science and occult writings.\u003cbr\u003eOcean Jasper combines well with other ancient wisdom stones like Larimar, serpentine with stichtite, and Lemurian seed crystals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven more of Ocean Jasper’s metaphysical properties are derived directly from water, specifically salt water.  Salt water has both religious and therapeutic connections with purification, relaxation, and healing.  Likewise Ocean Jasper is commonly described as cleansing, soothing, and supportive of well being.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome scientists speculate that Ocean Jasper may be a silicified rhyolite.  Rhyolite is a volcanic rock similar in composition to granite.  Certain varieties are glassy because of their high silica content, like obsidian.  These natural glasses are unstable and may develop orbs as the minerals inside them crystallise.  Many interpret this potential fiery origin as signifying the transmutation of negativity, bringing order out of chaos, and a potential for manifestation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NaturesgiftsByChris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49603098378517,"sku":null,"price":12.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/2453\/3781\/files\/IMG_0890.jpg?v=1765347299"},{"product_id":"358g-volcano-agate-buddha-carving-a","title":"358g Volcano Agate Buddha Carving A","description":"\u003cp\u003e*** All information about the metaphysical properties of the listings on this site is for reference only and is to be understood in this context.

This piece weighs 358g and measures 9cm x 5cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe material is marketed as “Volcano Agate” - cool sounding name, but it is a bit of a misleading trade name for this interesting and beautiful material. Now a large amount of Agate is formed in volcanic rock, and is s a product of the extrusives from volcanoes.  Lava, tuff, scoria, but they have to cool and be subject to the hydrothermal processes before agate is deposited.  I guess to call it \"extrusive agate\" is just not as catchy as \"Volcano Agate”, but if you envisioned this material shooting out of a volcano with this awesome UV reaction…..sorry to burst your bubble….. not how it happened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular material has very strong UV reaction of a green colour and \u003cbr\u003e is UV reactive because it contains uranyl ions that are bound to the silica surface. The uranyl ions cause a green photoluminescence when exposed to UV light even at low concentrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenerally Agates are named after the place they were first discovered. Found in the ancient Achates River in Sicily (now the river is known as Dirillo or Acate). Theophrastus in 315BC mentioned in his treatise “On Stones” that the gemstone Agate derived its name from the Sicilian River. Research shows that Agate was used in Babylon as an amulet and ornamentation material. Its use has also been seen in Greek and Egyptian civilization. There is also evidences that Agate has been in use in India since ancient times. While the original form of Agate was found in Sicily, today varieties of the stone can be found in almost every corner of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgate is one of the commonly found gemstones in the world. There are numerous varieties of stone making it is truly versatile and effervescent stone. Agate is banded chalcedony belonging to the crypto-crystalline quartz family. Agate is more like an umbrella term used to describe the many varieties of stones that have similar but also distinctive compositions and properties. Varieties of agate are usually distinguished by their colour or pattern and also by their place of origin. Agate is usually found in every colour known to mankind and even in a colorless form. Plume agate is a variety of agate that is distinguished by its colour. It is a red-brown and white-coloured banded stone that has patterns naturally inscribed within its translucent body. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgate is one of those gemstones that have a low intensity which metaphysically means that it vibrates lesser than other stones. Even then it is highly valued for its stabilising effect and strengthening capabilities. The bands that invariably appear in all types of Agate may seem delicate but in reality, they all represent strength. Agate is known to help balance emotions, energize the intellectual capability of a person, improve a person’s physical stamina and balance the positive and negative forces of nature. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgate can help those who have repressed emotional issues that need to be addressed so that they can let go (release) and heal. Many feel that Agate has an anti-depressant quality. It can be helpful for those who are struggling to be genuine in their lifestyle, as it promotes an understanding of the need for deeper meaning. Agate stimulates the exploration of the unknown and furthers ones quest toward the enlightened state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarry Agate to promote creative ability in any project or goal. Agate promotes creativity, and encourages one to find solutions rather than focusing on negative aspects of daily challenges. Crystal healers like to use Agate for its soothing and calming qualities. Agate energizes the auric body and encourages eternal and constant love by bringing in the energies of Universal and Unconditional Love. Agate is a reminder that we are love and compassion in action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn general, Agates carry a quiet energy that works on the subtle bodies, and are great for achieving stability and balance in many aspects of one`s life. Agates tend to work behind the scenes on the cause, instead of the symptom, of an issue. Agate is believed to improve mental functions and can help where issues of clarity and stability are concerned. Agate is also helpful in overcoming negative emotions by bringing love into the chakras. Although they work very slowly and deliberately, this gentle nature of Agate helps them to have a lasting impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuddha Symbolism:-\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause Buddha is not merely a name but also a title, sculptures of Buddha are meant to symbolise the process by which one can get a comprehensive and profound understanding of life. Hence not only do the statues and images of Buddha serve as physical representations or depictions of how Buddha appeared in his physical form, but they also serve as symbols of Buddha's teachings, good fortune, inner peace, and the motivating force that should be present in every human being.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuddhism is consistently ranked among the most followed faiths in every region of the world. Buddhism, which was founded by Gautama Buddha on the Indian subcontinent between the 5th and 6th century B.C., quickly spread throughout Asia and is now the predominant religion in many Asian nations, including Japan, Thailand, Burma, Cambodia, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Tibet, to name just a few.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuddhism has emerged as one of the most prominent religions in the world. The Buddha's teachings are responsible for this rise in popularity. I am not going to delve deeply into the teachings of the Buddha as it is complex and there are many subtleties that I do not wish to misspeak. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a very, very basic summary:- Buddhist teachings revolve around the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path, both of which aim to guide individuals towards enlightenment and the cessation of suffering. The Four Noble Truths explain the nature of suffering, its causes, the possibility of its end, and the path to achieve it. The Eightfold Path provides a practical framework for living a life of mindfulness, compassion, and wisdom, ultimately leading to liberation from the cycle of rebirth. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NaturesgiftsByChris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49613237780757,"sku":null,"price":89.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/2453\/3781\/files\/IMG_0030.jpg?v=1765530654"},{"product_id":"518g-syenite-with-sodalite-yooperlite-large-elephant-carving-b","title":"518g Syenite with Sodalite ‘Yooperlite’ Large Elephant Carving B","description":"\u003cp\u003e*** All information about the metaphysical properties of the listings on this site is for reference only and is to be understood in this context.

When an elephant appears in your dreams, it can be a sign that there’s an obstacle in your life that needs to be addressed that can’t be ignored any longer. The animal’s wisdom will help guide you to the right decision and clear the way for you to find good things and cultivate happiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNative to Africa and Asia, the animals have special significance there. The Hindu god Ganesha is believed to be a remover of obstacles. He’s the god of beginnings, whom people worship before starting any major endeavour in their lives. In China, the elephant is a symbol of strength and wisdom. Buddha is often portrayed as an elephant, and his mother is believed to have had dreams of an elephant before his birth. The Ashanti people revere elephants as their reincarnated leaders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSyenite with Sodalite:-\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis material is always marketed as ‘Yooperlite’. Now this may surprise you but a Yooperlite’ is actually a trademarked brand of what is officially known as a “syenite rock rich with fluorescent Sodalite”. But if you’re unsure of what exactly it is we’re talking about here, a ‘Yooperlite’, in short, is a special kind of fluorescent rock that will display a strong orange glow when subjected to UV light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fascinating discovery is owed to Michigan man Erik Rintamaki, who also holds the aforementioned trademark name. The material was first discovered by Erik along the banks of Lake Superior but has since been found in other locations, mainly in Greenland and China.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSodalite is not classified as rock, but as a deep blue mineral that is cut and carved as statues, pyramids, and obelisks. Sodalite if often confused with Lapis Lazuli because of the similar colour tones and sometimes sold as the much more expensive Lapis Lazuli by unscrupulous or uninformed merchants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name Sodalite reflects this mineral's Sodium content and was named by a Glasgow chemist, Professor Thomas Thomson, who had been hired by the British to identify the stone after they had captured a shipment of it being sent from Greenland to Denmark during the Napoleonic Wars.  Although first discovered and recorded in 1806 in Greenland, it took until 1891 for this attractive deep blue stone to become important in the world of ornamental stones.  It was then that it was found in vast deposits in Ontario, Canada, by Frank D. Adams, during the Geological Survey of Canada.  Later, as it was chosen as an interior decoration for the Marlborough House in England by Princess Patricia who had been visiting Ontario at the time and who had fallen in love with the stone, many began to refer to it as \"Princess Blue\".  Sodalite has also been called \"Canadian Blue Stone\" or simply \"Bluestone\". \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSodalite encourages being true to self and standing up for your beliefs. A stone of self-expression and confidence, Sodalite can aid in issues of self-worth, self-acceptance, and self-esteem. Sodalite promotes intuition and a trust in one's own judgment, which can be a great ally in daily life. Sodalite helps to achieve emotional balance, releasing old conditioning and programming of the past which no longer serves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA stone of awakening, Sodalite stimulates the Pineal Gland and the Third Eye, and deepens meditation. Sodalite is helpful for those who find themselves to be over-emotional, due to its ability to focus energy on the Third-Eye and Throat Chakras. This will allow one to use more logic and intuition, rather than the emotions from an over-developed Heart Chakra. Sodalite helps to enhance psychic abilities while discouraging any obsession about such abilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSodalite encourages discipline and will in one's personal and public lives, and can be a facilitator of career advancement when used in this manner.

Sodalite works with the Throat and Third-Eye Chakras to help and guide one on their spiritual path by opening a window into the subconscious mind, pulling subtle images into the conscious mind. Sodalite can also be an aid to those studying symbolism and its role in the greater scheme, by helping one to become aware of the patterns that can occur over the course of one's life, and their meanings and purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhysically, Sodalite can ease anxiety and panic attacks, mental confusion, and fear\/phobias.

Most slabs of onyx are what a geologist would call banded calcite. This same material also goes by the names onyx marble, Mexican onyx, or Egyptian alabaster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnyx is commercially classified as a sibling to marble because these two stones have the same mineral content. Onyx is made of calcite, which is the same mineral that makes up limestone, marble, and travertine. In fact, banded calcite is a close cousin of travertine and forms in a similar way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile granite, quartzite, and marble are all forged deep within the earth’s crust, onyx is born right on the surface. Onyx forms from spring water or groundwater that has an abundance of calcite dissolved in it. When this water emerges at the mouth of a spring, the minerals precipitate out and build a crust of calcite crystals. Over time, more water flows by and more minerals settle out. The variations between the layers are caused by differences in the water flow rate and small amounts of impurities. In its most pure state calcite is white or clear, but it’s easily tinted by minor amounts of other minerals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to this classification confusion I will include details for both Onyx and Calcite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnyx:-\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common colour of onyx is a warm honey colour, which is caused by iron oxide. The flowing layers of onyx reflect subtle variations in the spring water, and add an artistic quality to the patterns and bands. Slabs of onyx are made by slicing down into the layers, revealing thousands of years of deposits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeautiful banded onyx has a complex and sometimes contradictory history. The use of onyx dates back to very early civilizations. People have long appreciated it, respected it and even feared it for all of its mysterious powers. It is a lovely, dark crystal with banding and even multiple layers in some types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnyx has been utilised in burials to help loved ones in the afterlife and in ceremonies to represent a deep, long-lasting bond. It has been used for thousands of years for scrying and performing magic. Amulets, figurines, cameos, intaglio engravings, seals, stamps and tiles have been made from onyx and red-brown sardonyx. Swords, shields and armor have been adorned with onyx and sardonyx gemstones. Black onyx, inscribed with the name Gad, was the eleventh stone on the High Priest's breastplate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnyx meaning is all about a balance of good and bad, pain and pleasure, negative and positive. With proper use, it facilitates an integration of one's dualities. Onyx also helps one find strength, confidence and firm control over one's physical body, emotions and spirituality. Careful utilisation of onyx harnesses aggression and turns it around to build emotional and physical strength. One's ability to persist and endure life's ups and downs to remain steady and strong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBe cautious with onyx as it can retain painful memories and emotional traumas experienced by its owner. It then repeatedly reminds the owner of these painful experiences, causing one to constantly remember and relive the traumatic experience. When used properly, it will release the painful memories, thereby helping one to let go of the experiences and move forward in a more emotionally healthy way. After one undergoes this process, it is said that onyx will turn things around, bringing its owner good fortune and happiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpiritual healing with onyx gives one unwavering focus and willpower. It produces a strong connection with the earth, allowing one to stay well-grounded while looking to a higher power for guidance. This is an excellent crystal for stimulating extrasensory abilities. It provides protection from those who would attempt to cause psychic harm. It is also very good for regression into a past life to explore past life experiences. White onyx is ideal for delving into the angelic realm and the Akashic records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe emotional healing properties of onyx are all about giving one emotional strength and fortitude. It is ideal for helping one deal with confusing or stressful situations. Onyx is especially useful for soothing anxiety and nervousness. It cools hot tempers, alleviates fear and improves one's self control. This black banded crystal also brings the mind back to a more rational state. People who tend to be flighty, nervous and lacking in confidence will be helped by onyx and sardonyx crystals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalcite:-\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eWhile its name comes from the German word calcit (meaning limestone) and only came into use relatively recently, in the ancient world, Calcite was grouped together with gypsum and called “alabaster” for its fair, milky colour.

Along with its supportive energy, the Agate stone has been long admired for its incredible beauty. Agate has a dreamy quality with 'signature bands made up of mineral deposits layered in a perfectly circular symmetry around its circumference. A combination of igneous rock with silica deposits found in groundwater, the otherworldly bands give this semi-precious stone its trademark appearance. What gives the Agate stone its incredibly powerful grounding abilities is its availability in different colours, including a palette of white, purple, black, grey, yellow, pink, red, and brown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAgate belongs to the quartz family, which makes it a popular crystal for healing, especially due to its composition of silicon dioxide, a mineral that is also found in the human body. The variety of chalcedony bands also help enhance your feelings of stability, which can be incredibly balancing if you’re caught in a cycle of worry and overthinking. It works by connecting you with the gentle vibrations of the Earth, making it a gentle stone with a light, diffused energy. This is why many beginners start with Agate stone in their first collection. With mellow vibrations and a steady rhythm, Agate can bring you a sense of peace and support when you feel scattered or overwhelmed by modern life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompared to other gemstones in the mineral kingdom, Agate properties radiate a lower, more gentle frequency, which makes them an ideal piece for someone looking to slow down and get centred. Agate’s soothing and stress-relieving properties help you connect with the energy of the Earth by bringing harmony to your mind, body, and spirit. When you feel unbalanced, Agate healing properties have soft vibrations that can recalibrate and realign you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NaturesgiftsByChris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49616674849045,"sku":null,"price":79.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/2453\/3781\/files\/365031bc-il_fullxfull.6482092053_s1kz.jpg?v=1765592378"},{"product_id":"green-banded-onyx-pedestal-sphere-stand-3b","title":"Green Banded Onyx Pedestal Sphere Stand 3B","description":"\u003cp\u003e*** All information about the metaphysical properties of the listings on this site is for reference only and is to be understood in this context.

Colagates and other chalcedonies were obtained over 3,000 years ago from the Achates River, now called Dirillo, in Sicily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgate can help those who have repressed emotional issues that need to be addressed so that they can let go (release) and heal. Many feel that Agate has an anti-depressant quality. It can be helpful for those who are struggling to be genuine in their lifestyle, as it promotes an understanding of the need for deeper meaning. Agate stimulates the exploration of the unknown and furthers ones quest toward the enlightened state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarry Agate to promote creative ability in any project or goal. Agate promotes creativity, and encourages one to find solutions rather than focusing on negative aspects of daily challenges. Crystal healers like to use Agate for its soothing and calming qualities. Agate energizes the auric body and encourages eternal and constant love by bringing in the energies of Universal and Unconditional Love. Agate is a reminder that we are love and compassion in action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn general, Agates carry a quiet energy that works on the subtle bodies, and are great for achieving stability and balance in many aspects of one`s life. Agates tend to work behind the scenes on the cause, instead of the symptom, of an issue. Agate is believed to improve mental functions and can help where issues of clarity and stability are concerned. Agate is also helpful in overcoming negative emotions by bringing love into the chakras. Although they work very slowly and deliberately, this gentle nature of Agate helps them to have a lasting impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarnelian:-\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarnelian is an orange-coloured variety of Chalcedony, a mineral of the Quartz family and is very translucent and takes a wonderful glossy polish.

Its name comes from a Latin word meaning \"flesh.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn antiquity, as well as today, Carnelian is believed to help timid speakers become both eloquent and bold. Ancient Warriors wore Carnelian around their neck for courage and physical power to conquer their enemies. In Egypt it was worn by master architects to show their rank of builder, and alchemists of the Middle Ages used it as a boiling stone to activate the energy of other Chalcedonies. As the first stone in the breastplate of the High Priest, it signified the blood of the martyrs and was once believed to prevent illness and the Plague. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ancient Egyptians called Carnelian \"the setting sun.\" In its orange hues, they identified it with the receptive or passive female energies, and associated it with the fertile menstrual blood of the mother goddess, Isis. In its red, red-orange to reddish brown shades, they considered it the active male energy stone, recognised by its glowing vibrant colour. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrange and red Carnelian are important crystals to use for love, and for the consummation of love. Orange crystals, in particular, are fertility and potency symbols and are linked with conceiving a child. Carnelian of either colour may help in rekindling passions that might have faded in an otherwise loving relationship.\u003cbr\u003eCarnelian is traditionally worn to enhance passion, love, and desire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrange stones, especially the carnelians, are excellent aids for training, coordination of physical exercise programmes, and for balancing body levels. Carnelians boost a listless attitude and can stimulate the appetite. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarnelian is a stabilising crystal, perfect for anchoring in the present. Its high energy helps restore lost vitality and motivation, and stimulates creativity for new pursuits. It improves concentration and removes extraneous thoughts in daydreamers, and during meditation. This stone also protects against envy, rage, and resentment - yours, or from others, and encourages a love of life. It is useful for overcoming abuse of any kind, helping you to trust yourself and your perceptions. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarnelian, in its beautiful shades of orange, stimulates the Sacral Chakra or Second Chakra, located below the naval and above the pubic bone at the front of the pelvis. It controls the flow of energy and is the centre of gravity of the body. It is the centre of the Life Force of the body, and controls the flow of information from the body to the mind and from the mind to the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGut feelings, intuition, and other \"non-linear\" communication comes from this chakra. When it is out of balance the symptoms will manifest themselves as confusion, over dependency on others, repression of feelings, inability to feel joy, fear of sensuality or sex, and frustration. When it is in balance you have grace, feel pleasure in life, find you are flexible and can \"go with the flow\" and do so in good spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarnelian, in shades of red, is also a powerful ally in healing Base Chakra blockages and traumas, aiding one in recovering vital information about oneself and one's purpose on Earth. The Base, or Root Chakra, is located at the base of the spine, and controls the energy for kinesthetic feeling and movement. It is the foundation of physical and spiritual energy for the body. When physically out of balance the symptoms will manifest themselves as lethargy, low levels of activity, low enthusiasm, and a need for constant stimulation. When the Base Chakra is in balance, the physical body regains its strength and stamina, and spiritual energy is rekindled in the form of security and sense of one's own power. It often leads to independence and spontaneous leadership.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NaturesgiftsByChris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49616679731477,"sku":null,"price":149.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/2453\/3781\/files\/877071f2-il_fullxfull.6724989370_ijtq.jpg?v=1765592410"},{"product_id":"dark-green-pakistan-asterite-drilled-leaf-pendant-group-4","title":"Dark Green Pakistan Asterite Drilled Leaf Pendant Group 4","description":"\u003cp\u003e*** All information about the metaphysical properties of the listings on this site is for reference only and is to be understood in this context.

The word septarian comes from the Latin word \"septum,\" meaning \"partition.\" Septarian nodules contain angular cavities as a result of cracking, which are called septaria and create divisions throughout the stone. These unique septaria can be any length and each septarian can have many different cracks. Calcite leeches into the cracks of septarian to form calcite crystals on a layer of aragonite, which is on bentonite clay. Eventually, bentonite is replaced with limestone, resulting in the nodule turning to stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeptarian specimens are believed to have formed during the Cretaceous period when sea levels were much higher. Volcanic eruptions and other occurrences resulted in the death of small sealife that then sank to into the seabed. As the specimens decomposed, sediments would accumulate and create a nodule or mud ball. When the oceans eventually receded, these mud balls were left exposed to the air and dried out, causing shrinking and cracking. The bea\\n\\nSeptarian Nodules are concretions that have a series of radiating cracks, crossed by a series of concentric cracks to form a “turtle-back” appearance. They are also known the \"Dragon Stone or Healing Stone.\" Ball-like Sepatrian Nodules began their life as sedimentary slime at the bottom of a Cretaceous Sea 50 to 70 million years ago. Sediment composed of decomposing plants and animals formed into balls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeptarian Nodules reminds us that we are each born with a great spiritual power inside us, and that we have the responsibility to use that power and shine Light into this world.  Septarian Nodules are Shamanic Stones, helping us to find our true self and better understand the mysteries of this world. It offers protection and speed during astral travel, and provides a deep earth connection during meditation.  Septarian Nodules teach us that the most sacred actions are those in which love and courage are linked.  Septarian Nodules are attuned to the Root, Sacral, and Solar Plexus Chakras and linked to the astrological signs of Cancer and Capricorn. It is attuned to the element Water  and vibrates to the numbers 8, and 9.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeptarian Nodules enhance self confidence and brings courage to the heart.  It encourages us to release any attachment to drama or ego. Instead we are to look for that calm place of balance deep within, and to live from that place. Septarian Nodule is a phenomenal stone to work when engaged in personal work, particularly emotional healing and growing up.  It helps us to be more patient and to feel comfortable with taking on greater responsibilities. Septarian Nodules remind us to align ourselves with Love and to forgive ourselves and others for any past offences.  It helps to release any emotions that may feel “trapped” inside us and shines a light on the path leading to our own personal freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeptarian Nodules helps us to find a “Purpose” in life and to take positive action in manifesting it in this world. This stone has a courageous energy that helps us to release our fears related to failure, poverty or making mistakes, and instead encourages us to be curious and excited to find out what is possible.  At the same time, Septarian Nodules enhance our sense of practicality and common sense.  It provides mental discipline and helps us logically determine the root of any problem we might be facing and how to solve it.  Septarian Nodules gently reminds us that sometimes we have to let go of what we already know and be open to change and personal evolution, in order to become our Highest Self.  It is a highly creative stone as well as a grounding stone, the combination helping inspire us artistically and help us complete art projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrystal wand massage is using the energetic qualities of a particular crystal in a massaging action using either the rounded or pointed end of the wand to soothe, relax, align, or energize a particular part of a person’s body – either yours or someone you are helping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow there are some real advantages here over traditional massage techniques. One of the big ones is that your hands do not get tired! Traditional massage puts great stress on fingers, hands, arms, and shoulders. Using a crystal wand avoids the strain and stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecondly, the wands will focus the Universal Life Force with their unique energy structures to amplify or dispel energy depending on how they are used. Results will be faster and more long lasting than regular massage techniques that do not bring the amplifying power of crystals to the healing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally the crystal wands will allow for a wide variety of healing therapies with very little investment or re-learning. The crystalline energy matrices of the crystals will allow you to tailor a massage easily and effectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWands and the chakras:-\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWands are effective when working on the energetic and etheric levels of the body. The simplest way to work with wands on this level is to activate and balance the 7 chakra system. There is no physical contact with the body in this method so it is a great introduction for someone who is not used to energy work. Starting at the base chakra, spiral the wand in a clockwise motion to activate and balance this centre. Continue until you feel this chakra is balanced and move on to the next one until you have balanced all 7 chakras.

The purple has a focus on blueprinting the cellular structure, particularly the skeletal system, to pre-pollution mapping. (Modern day living has bought about pollutants such as heavy metals which corrupt the human cellular structure, giving rise to issues such as cancers, osteoporosis and so on). The purple portion then accelerates the cellular mitosis process, enabling the new cells being generated to follow the correct blueprint.

Adams, during the Geological Survey of Canada.  Later, as it was chosen as an interior decoration for the Marlborough House in England by Princess Patricia who had been visiting Ontario at the time and who had fallen in love with the stone, many began to refer to it as \"Princess Blue\".  Sodalite has also been called \"Canadian Blue Stone\" or simply \"Bluestone\". \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSodalite encourages being true to self and standing up for your beliefs.

Sodalite helps to achieve emotional balance, releasing old conditioning and programming of the past which no longer serves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA stone of awakening, Sodalite stimulates the Pineal Gland and the Third Eye, and deepens meditation. Sodalite is helpful for those who find themselves to be over-emotional, due to its ability to focus energy on the Third-Eye and Throat Chakras. This will allow one to use more logic and intuition, rather than the emotions from an over-developed Heart Chakra. Sodalite helps to enhance psychic abilities while discouraging any obsession about such abilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSodalite encourages discipline and will in one's personal and public lives, and can be a facilitator of career advancement when used in this manner.

Sodalite works with the Throat and Third-Eye Chakras to help and guide one on their spiritual path by opening a window into the subconscious mind, pulling subtle images into the conscious mind. Sodalite can also be an aid to those studying symbolism and its role in the greater scheme, by helping one to become aware of the patterns that can occur over the course of one's life, and their meanings and purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhysically, Sodalite can ease anxiety and panic attacks, mental confusion, and fear\/phobias.

Because of the large range of colours it has multiple talents! The green colour has a strong focus on the devic realm, aura cleansing, and promoting purity in general. The purple has a focus on blueprinting the cellular structure, particularly the skeletal system, to pre-pollution mapping. (Modern day living has bought about pollutants such as heavy metals which corrupt the human cellular structure, giving rise to issues such as cancers, osteoporosis and so on). The purple portion then accelerates the cellular mitosis process, enabling the new cells being generated to follow the correct blueprint.

If you find yourself drawn to this material, or any other mixed material for that matter don’t get too hung up on the name it is given it has found you for a reason, simple as that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBloodstone may be classified as a Jasper or Chalcedony variety of Quartz, and is usually a combination of the two. It is typically defined as a dark green Chalcedony with blood-like spots of Red Jasper or iron oxide inclusions. It occurs as massive formations, ranging from dark green to greenish-blue or greenish-black, and may be translucent to opaque with a waxy, resinous lustre. In addition to the spots and streaks of Red Jasper, some formations contain inclusions that are yellow or white, while others lacking inclusions may be entirely green. Bloodstone has been referred to as Blood Jasper and specimens with only yellow inclusions have been called Plasma. In the ancient world it was considered to be a semi-precious stone or gem, and was used extensively as signet seals and in jewellery, as well as being carved into decorative cups, small vases and statuettes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the ancient world, Bloodstone was considered to be the most beautiful of the Jaspers, a deep, earthy green gem emboldened with spots of bright red. Called the Sun Stone, and later Christ’s Stone, its energy carries the purity of blood and inherently speaks of life and birth, vitality and strength, passion and courage. As a talisman it is both mystical and magical, and its virtues are protective and nurturing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most widely known legend of this stone comes from the Middle Ages and claims the “Blood Stone” was formed at the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, when the blood of his wounds fell onto the dark green earth and turned to stone. Another version declares the blood of Christ, which flowed from the fatal spear-thrust, fell upon a Green Jasper lying at the foot of the Cross, and from this sprang the Bloodstone variety of Jasper. Today, as then, Bloodstone is regarded as a gem of noble sacrifice and can offer courage and solace to all who are called to give of themselves for the good of others. It elicits the highest, most altruistic character of those who wear or carry it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Blood Stone, however, was treasured long before the time of Christ, known in antiquity as Heliotrope, the Sun Stone. From the Greek helios, meaning “sun,” and trepein, “to attract,” Heliotrope signified “sun-turning,” and legends were attributed to this stone for the belief that when placed in the rays of the setting sun, or immersed in water, it turned the reflection of the sun to blood-red. Its use for healing, and its connection to blood and detoxification of the organs, dates back five thousand years to Mesopotamia. In many cultures, Heliotrope was dipped in cold water and placed on the body to aid circulation and transfer the power of the sun to prevent injury or disease, stop the flow of blood, or cure any wound. Its coagulant effect was renowned, and for this reason, ancient warriors often carried Heliotrope as an amulet of protection and courage, as well as its practical applications. Ground, powdered, and mixed with honey, it was used to cure tumours, draw out snake venom and staunch hemorrhages. It was said to clear putrefaction of abscesses in a day, and simply looking at the Blood Stone was believed to prevent eye diseases. \\n \\nBloodstone was treasured not only as a talisman of good health and long life, but was reputed to bring its owner respect, good fortune, riches and fame. It protected one from deception, helped overcome enemies in battle, and secured victory in court and legal matters. It was also believed to have magical properties with the ability to control the weather by averting lightning, conjuring storms or summoning rain.

This stone is particularly stimulating to the Base and Heart Chakras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBloodstone carries a tremendous power to ground one fully in the body, in the here and now, and to enhance one’s capacity to function with strength, determination and courage. It provides emotional support during times of extreme adversity, and helps those who have been bullied or abandoned by others to regain their connection to the Divine, letting them know that loneliness and isolation are mere illusion. Bloodstone teaches that chaos often precedes transformation and guides one in knowing when it is appropriate to strategically withdraw from situations, and when flexibility and taking right action will help one remain true to one’s own path. Bloodstone calms the emotional body, dispels confusion and enhances decision-making, nourishing feelings of worth, self-confidence and self-sufficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe word Jasper comes from “iaspi” a Greek word that means “spotted stone”. Jasper is an opaque rock of virtually any colour stemming from the mineral content of the original sediments or ash. Patterns arise during the consolidation process forming flow and depositional patterns in the original silica rich sediment or volcanic ash, Hydrothermal action is generally thought to be required in the formation of jasper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJasper can be modified by the diffusion of minerals along discontinuities providing the appearance of vegetative growth, i.e., dendritic. The original materials are often fractured and\/or distorted, after deposition, into diverse patterns, which are later filled in with other colourful minerals. Weathering, with time, will create intensely coloured superficial rinds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe classification and naming of jasper varieties presents a challenge. Terms attributed to various well-defined materials includes the geographic locality where it is found, sometimes quite restricted such as \"Bruneau\" (a canyon) and \"Lahontan\" (a lake), rivers and even individual mountains; many are fanciful, such as \"forest fire\" or \"rainbow\", while others are descriptive, such as \"autumn\" or \"porcelain\". A few are designated by the place of origin such as a brown Egyptian or red African.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn general, Jasper is known as the “supreme nurturer”.

In addition, it serves as a balancing and stability stone, providing a sense of grounding and equilibrium in our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgate is named after the place it was first discovered from. Found in the ancient Achates River in Sicily (now the river is known as Dirillo or Acate). Theophrastus in 315BC mentioned in his treatise “On Stones” that the gemstone Agate derived its name from the Sicilian River. Research shows that Agate was used in Babylon as an amulet and ornamentation material. Its use has also been seen in Greek and Egyptian civilization. There is also evidences that Agate has been in use in India since ancient times. While the original form of Agate was found in Sicily, today varieties of the stone can be found in almost every corner of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgate is one of the commonly found gemstones in the world. There are numerous varieties of stone making it is truly versatile and effervescent stone. Agate is banded chalcedony belonging to the crypto-crystalline quartz family. Agate is more like an umbrella term used to describe the many varieties of stones that have similar but also distinctive compositions and properties. Varieties of agate are usually distinguished by their colour or pattern and also by their place of origin. Agate is usually found in every colour known to mankind and even in a colorless form. Plume agate is a variety of agate that is distinguished by its colour. It is a red-brown and white-coloured banded stone that has patterns naturally inscribed within its translucent body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgate is one of those gemstones that have a low intensity which metaphysically means that it vibrates lesser than other stones. Even then it is highly valued for its stabilising effect and strengthening capabilities. The bands that invariably appear in all types of Agate may seem delicate but in reality, they all represent strength. Agate is known to help balance emotions, energize the intellectual capability of a person, improve a person’s physical stamina and balance the positive and negative forces of nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgate can help those who have repressed emotional issues that need to be addressed so that they can let go (release) and heal.

They are used by holding the stone between the index finger and thumb and gently moving one's thumb back and forth across the stone. This action of moving one's thumb back and forth across the stone can reduce stress. Other names that worry stones may be called are: thumb stones, fidget stones, soothing stones, or sensory stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a folk practise implement, worry stones have many origins. Variations on the concept originate in Ancient Greece, Ireland, Tibet and multiple Native American Tribes. The concept of a worry stone began by the simple action of picking a smooth stone and fiddling with the stone. Native American tribes would continuously give them to younger generations, creating a sense of connection from previous family members.They also believed these worry stones were considered a sacred item and they were extra special if they were made out of quartz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the perspective of cognitive behaviour therapy the use of worry stones is one of many folk practises that can function as psychologically healthy self-soothing exercises. Such techniques are imparted at an early stage of treatment, displacing any familiar but destructive coping methods (nail-biting, scratching, lip-biting, etc.) that the patient may have developed. Worry stones are simple and intuitive enough to be useful in therapeutic contexts where complexity and unfamiliarity are paramount concerns, such as when offering short-term treatment to refugees or people with post-traumatic stress conditions. After a patient has mastered a more sophisticated relaxation script for anxiety management, the worry stone itself can serve as a physical 'relaxation script reminder' - the patient may notice an impulse to use the object, and thereby become aware of their own anxiety. The rubbing of the stone can create a sense of relaxation making the mind more relaxed and generating a sense of calmness. There are also people that may use them during meditation practises, this is known to centre a persons concentration benefiting the meditation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NaturesgiftsByChris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49616684187925,"sku":null,"price":5.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/2453\/3781\/files\/67c6e6a9-il_fullxfull.7451291286_40c4.jpg?v=1765592431"},{"product_id":"30g-golden-strawberry-sunstone-cabochon-4a","title":"30g Golden Strawberry Sunstone Cabochon 4A","description":"\u003cp\u003e*** All information about the metaphysical properties of the listings on this site is for reference only and is to be understood in this context.
