White Crystal Ice Quartz fell from the Sky: TRUE STORY!

True Story….Really, this is a TRUE STORY .

I am walking my white Jindo Dog, Evie Marie Antoinette, back from our local flippy flop area, come around the corner to enter my street, the sun is glaring as I am slightly blinded this crystal.  Thinking it was a piece of glass, I reached down to remove out of our path and gasped when I saw it was this large crystal.    I picked it up and held it close to me.  Later I took it to my Tarot Reading Class, showed my friend Virginia, who told me to keep it close to my heart.   Known as “Ice of Enternity”, it is one of the most powerful crystals that contains feminine, or receptive energy.

This is a “programmable” stone, meaning that one using it can charge it with a variety of types of energy.  It can receive, store, activate, amplify and transmit energy.  It is a great aid for meditation.

In and of itself, however, it is a powerful all-around healer.  It is also used to amplify the powers of other crystals, and is frequently found on the table of a Tarot reader, for example, to help one clarify his or her own psychic readings.  It is especially useful in helping us to focus, concentrate and control our thoughts, intentions and actions.  It stimulates brain functions, amplifying thought forms while at the same time helping to balance the emotions.

White Quartz activates the Crown Chakra, and helps to promote clarity of mind.  It has an affinity with the Archangel Rafael, and aids in study and concentration.  At the same time, this crystal has natural prismatic effects, and can split beams of white light into the seven basic colors of the rainbow, each of which relates to one of the Chakras, simultaneously activating all levels of consciousness.

It aids in helping us to listen to our Higher Selves and our Spirit Guides.  It also helps to dispel negativity, both in our environment and in our own personal energy fields.

Here it is as I wire wrapped it, combined with with moonstones, created a complimentary earrings and bracelet!    It makes me smile.

 

Artisan Jewelry for Charity Events

I recently attended the Mission of San Luis Rey, Heritage Ball in which I ask to donate my Black/White Crown and Cultured Pearl Set for raising funds for the Mission.  I was pleasantly surprised to have my items be part of a enchanted evening and bought by Patrons of the Mission.

I wore my “Black Roses” Necklace, for sale on  Jewels of Etsy, made of Black Spinal semi precious stones, Red Garnets, Cultured Pearls and Swarvokski crystals. Both of these events were wonderful.  Funds were raised for good causes and I was especially in awe after attending the Issa Foundation Charity Event, in which Art Barter, Datron Communications, donated an additional $115,000.00 towards Oceanside, Vista, San Clemente, Temecula Boys and Girls Club, Casa De Amparo, Oceanside, Moonlight Cultural Foundation and North County Solutions for Change.
