The first time I saw this gem, I fell instantly in love with the tiny dragon that lives in this gem. When I look at this magnificent stone, I see a black dragon flying, its wings open and soaring from corner to corner of this gem.  It glides across a sea of golden hues, mixed with vibrant green fireworks that are kissed with a hint of blue.  Look down from the top of the stone? And it's a cloud of shimmering blues that are hidden, depending on which way you tilt your piece in the light.  There is so much energy and life....  and it comes ready to wear on a black leather cord.

Mother Nature had a party when she pained your piece of Sodalite!  It is such an incredible mixture of rich blues that have been dotted and splashed with vibrant whites, deep powerful blacks and even the odd earth speckle from time to time.  It is a feast for the senses!  Each side is unique!  Your gem has been hand wrapped using sterling silver wire and comes ready to wear on a black leather cord.

This particular piece of Sodalite comes from the Princess Sodalite Mine which is located in Bancroft Ontario - Canada. Your incredible stone came from the collection of a pervious owner and we were lucky enough to be able to buy his compilation of magnificent gems.  These gems are in limited supply.

A bit of history about this stone: In the year 1901 the Princess of Wales was given a piece of stone from this mine and she simply fell in love with its beauty. Arrangements were made to quarry enough of this gem to decorate her residence in London England (called the Marlborough House.)  This is how the Princess Sodalite Mine found its name.

Since the age of antiquity, Sodalite has been known as the stone of artists, musicians, painters and sculptors because of its ability to promote inspiration and creativity.  It has very gentle waves of power that spread through the system.  Sodalite helps to promote self confidence and loyalty in the wearer.   It is also a good stone for those who are facing life changes as retirement or when children leave home to go out on their own.  It will allow the wearer to move creatively to the next phase of their lives.  Sodalite is used in croning/wise woman ceremonies to welcome the wisdom of the later years.

Sodalite helps to open the third eye to see spiritual visions and the voice to be able to talk about what you have seen.  It will focus meditations if you mind is overactive and useful in creative visualization techniques.

Light blue clouds seem to almost flitter across the surface of this dainty Blue Lace Agate.  It has a lovely combination of soothing blues mixed with lighter shades that almost resemble clouds you see way off in the distance.  The back of your gem has tiny dots of earthy browns and yellows and is curved inwards. This gives your fingers a place to explore, almost like a small worry stone around your neck to help soothe your stresses away.

Your gem has been hand wrapped using sterling silver wire and comes ready to wear on a black cord with a clasp.

This is a truly unique piece of Sodalite that originated from a collection from Southern Ontario. It has been hand cut and polished to this fabulous square shape.  The front and sides are polished glass smooth and the back is natural (not polished).  The back is smooth but it does not have the ultra shine that the rest has which gives this an incredible texture experience.   The colours are stunning!  Deep blues are crossed with vibrant orange earth tones and dancing white shades.  The shape is really pleasing to the fingers.

There's certainly a lot going on with this gemstone!  The colour patterns are INTENSE!  It's like having several gemstones all crammed into one stone and no one knows where the first one starts and the last one ends.  It's a sunning beauty!!!  All of these colours are totally natural (no dye here)... vibrant blacks, swooping yellows and browns and majestic reds.  YOW!!!

Carnelian was used in ancient Egyptian magic as protection for the living and the dead.  A Carnelian in the form of the ijet (the symbol of the mother Isis) was placed on the neck of a mummy to ensure protection and re-birth of the spirit in the afterlife.  It was also used as the Eye of Horus for protection against the Evil Eye.  The Romans carried this stone for protection and courage and it was engraved with the head of a lion or a great leader.    Carnelian increases one's vitality and zest for life - in our times it also helps the wearer face every day with courage and strength. It helps to bring abundance in every way to the home and family.  It radiates positive energy and helps your true self shine through without fear or the need to conform to the expectations of others. It helps you to trust yourself and overcome negative conditioning.

Use Carnelian as a focus for past life work and finding your twin soul.  It is good for love and sex rituals for re-kindling passion that has dwindled in a loving relationship.  During meditation it can help to remove extraneous thoughts and sharpen your concentration.  It calms anger, emotional negativity and replaces it with a love of life.  It is a grounding stone that anchors you in the present reality and stabilizes with high energy.  It's helps to motivate you and increase creativity - it is especially helpful for dramatic persuits.
