The Stone Focus project coincides with a bi-monthly, stone-focused & exclusive jewelry collection for a local Tucson shop, The Ninth House. It's my hope to bring you an evolving take on jewelry worn as healing and protective adornments.
(The information posted here is just a sample of the vast information available out there. I always encourage others to do their own research and learn more. The views expressed here as far as healing and metaphysical properties can be taken as seriously or as playful as you wish- all levels of belief are welcome. I also welcome you to share your information and stories regarding gemstones with me, and any suggestions for stones to focus on in future postings. It also goes without saying, but I will anyway, that gemstone healing is NO substitute for consulting a health-care professional, consider using these practices in conjunction with recommended care from your health-care provider.)
I'm excited to bring you my second feature in the Stone Focus collection: Quartz Crystal & Tourmaline Quartz.
I decided to work with two stones this time because when I was pulling together my Quartz Crystal stones and plans for this collection, I discovered I had so many beautiful Tourmaline Quartz pieces in my stone collection- what can I say, I felt inspired to incorporate them into this collection.
Quartz Crystal and Tourmaline Quartz have a lot of similar uses, and work really well together- so they really felt like a good combination for a collection. On an aesthetic level, I also just really love the black and white combo.
As you read below, one thing to keep in mind.. because both of these stones are so effective in absorbing negative energies, it's important to remember to cleanse and recharge them frequently! My favorite ways are by smudging and by moonlight.
(*I do NOT recommend getting your jewelry wet or soaking them in water)
