12 Mar Precious Stone Meanings & Purposes
Let’s be honest we all love anything with an alluring and colorful luster, I’m right there with you there’s a visceral magic to precious stones with that unique quality that we can all vibe with. That said, I tend to gravitate towards working with stones like opal, labradorite and both moon and rainbow-moon stone as well as one of my all time favorite stones, ammonite which also tends to have an opalescent luster on the outer shell area. Below are some of the healing and empowering benefits and properties of stones I enjoy working with.
I personally believe the true power of all crystals and precious gems lies already within you. Our belief in them gives them their real power and they can serve as symbolic reminders and tools to unlock the power, protection and potential that already exists within you.
