Crystal Lore:

Amazonite

Called the Stone of Courage and the Stone of Truth, Amazonite empowers one to search the self and discover one’s own truths and integrity, and to move beyond fear of judgment or confrontation with others to live in alignment with those beliefs and values. It provides the freedom to express one’s thoughts and feelings, and to set strong and clear boundaries, both internally as self-discipline, and externally on what one is willing to experience or in defining personal space.

Turquoise

Legend has it that the Native Americans danced and rejoiced when the rains came. Their tears of joy mixed with the rain and seeped into Mother Earth to become Sky Stone Turquoise.  Turquoise, the "fallen sky stone" has been valued by cultures for its beauty and reputed spiritual and life-giving qualities for over 7000 years.  Turquoise is considered the stone of sky, stone of water, stone of blessings, good fortune, protection, good health and long life.

MALA NECKLACES

📿Mala necklaces are typically made with 108 beads hand knotted between each bead. One string for continuity is used beneath the beads and finishes at a larger focal Guru bead. Traditionally there is also a tassel at the center. Malas can be made of seeds, wood, or gemstones; depending on the preference of the wearer.

🌀The Guru Bead🌀the 109th bead that represents the turning point on a Mala; reflects the awareness that one must have in every aspect of life.  The guru bead allows for a moment to reflect on the importance of; and on your intentions, and motive for sitting in meditation.

📿The Tassel📿 is symbolic of lotus blossoms.  The Lotus flower grows in muddy water, and it is this environment that it rises and blooms above the murk to achieve enlightenment. It is able to shine despite its surroundings. 📿🦋🌺🌸🦋📿

Malas are beautiful touch jewelry that we may use to set intentions, meditate, or simply wear to feel good, for beauty, and positive energy.

Setting an intention is a practice in which we declare our hopes, our aims, and our truest desires to channel our energies and travel to a place of healing, and peace. You can set an intention with your Mala necklace then meditate with your intention or mantra.

If you practice yoga, you can place your Mala necklace at the head of your mat to instill desired intention into your practice, allowing the Mala to absorb the energy and focus of your movement.

Anyone from any walk of life, or for any reason can wear a Mala. Encircling yourself in meaning that is important to you. 💗💜💙💚 •
