So soft and pretty, this Rose Quartz gemstone heart is a lovely gemstone to wear.  It is such a gentle smooth stone that is simply a silky dream to wear against the skin.  This heart (which measures 1 inch across) has been wrapped with Sterling silver wire and comes ready to wear on a black leather cord with an easy to use clasp.

Legend says that Eros brought Rose Quartz to earth in hopes that its beautiful pink colour would arouse love and desire among people.  In another legend, Adonis, the lover of the Greek goddess Aphrodite, was attacked by Ares (the god of War) who came in the form of a bore.   Aphrodite rushed to save him and caught herself on a briar bush.  Their mingled blood stained the white quartz to a pink.  Zeus took pity on them and restored Adonis to Aphoridite for six months of the year.  Because of this myth, this stone has become a symbol of reconciliation in love. 

Rose Quartz is associated in modern ritual with Isis - an astrologer dropped a piece of this stone into the water that surrounded Isis's temple at Philae in Upper Egypt as a way of keeping contact with the location when she returned home.  All through the middle ages until today, this stone has been given as a love charm.  It is a wonderful gift for a close friend and is excellent for bringing peace.  It is good for ongoing protection against intrusion to act as a barrier.  It is also a good stone for grounding after psychic work.  Next to a computer it can prevent headaches and eye fatigue or next to the bed during sleep for a good rest. 

This amazing piece of Malachite has 2 distinct sides.  The side you see in the photograph has the most intense rich green spirals that appear to flow and dance across the surface.   The back of the stone suddenly changes to a soft green with tiny island like shapes. The stone has been wrapped using Sterling Silver wire and comes ready to wear on a black cord with an easy to use clasp. 

Malachite is associated with a variety of "Love Goddesses"  - Our Lady of the Mountains (in central Russia), Venus and Freyja (the Viking Goddess of Love).  It is a cleansing and protective stone that helps to cleanse the aura field and aids the heart.  Malachite helps the wearer build up strength and helps to alleviate the feelings of lovesickness.  Also wonderful for increasing concentration and spirituality.

Malachite is also used over protection against over-bright fluorescent lighting, harmful rays that are emitted by electrical equipment and noise toxicity.  It is a powerful crystal for protective magic especially when you are travelling by air or on the crowded motorways.  Also use it for wishing and prosperity magic especially concerning business matters.  It can also be used for scrying to access other worlds, inner and outer and can assist in receiving insights from the subconscious or messages from the future. 

Malachite is a stone of transformation and helps you to live your life with more adventure and risk taking and break those unwanted patterns.  It alleviates shyness and encourages you to express your feelings more comfortably.

Close up of your bracelet

Garnets are such fabulous stones - they are like tiny rivers of red that pour over and over your wrist (or anklet) in such deep droplets of colour.  Each stone is an individual and has the richest of reds.  Adorned with these stones is a single Swarovski crystal hugged by 2 silver filigree beads, making this bracelet fit for a princess.  Near the easy to open clasp, are 2 other filigree beads that give the back of the bracelet just as much regal charm. 

According to myth, during night and day, a garnet illuminated Noah's Ark and the skys turned black with rain. In Eastern Europe, this stone was said to protect the wearer from Vampires.  It was also worn by the Crusaders who believed it would light their way home. 

Garnets have been used through the ages to help release negative energy and to increase one’s sense of hope. They help you to build courage.

These stones also help for internal balance of energy as well as love, devotion, passion and courage.  Garnets help you to open your heart to love yourself as well as others. 

They also help to sustain a psychic shield in crowded places or where you feel uncomfortable.

It is associated with the Root Chakra and helps you to reawaken survival instincts - it helps to melt frozen feelings and fear.  Garnets are also a protection stone and helps you to overcome writers block and lack of inspiration.
