Pendulum divining (dowsing, scrying) is a way to connect to one's intuition and instincts. It can be used to tap into one's subconscious and explore one's inner thoughts, as well as to help one make decisions, align one's Chakras, cleanse and dispel negativity in a room, find lost objects, direct healing energy, and much more.

Healing:Red agate is very good for blood disorders and energizing the system. It can also be used to help improve the efficiency of all bodily functions and for any skin damage caused by burns or scalds.
Home: It will help bring about any changes you desire or need within your life.
Protection: It is a powerful protector of your aura.
Psychic: It will help to cleanse and protect your aura.
Ritual: Red agate should be used to amplify the effects of candle magic.
Work: It should be used if you are seeking employment.

Coral symbolizes life and blood force energy. Dark red coral is used for heating and stimulating the bloodstream. Pink shades restore harmony to the heart. It is used as an aid to depression, lethargy or deficient nutrition.

Care: Clean with a soft cloth and avoid getting wet.

Use Moonlight For Cleansing Crystals
The moonlight has a powerful influence that will re-energize your crystals... and allow them to lift their vibrations naturally. A good time to for cleansing crystals is at the time of the full moon... when it is at its brightest.
Place them somewhere in your home where they will be in the moonlight for as long as possible. Leave them there overnight if you are able to. By absorbing the energy of moonlight... you will allow their vibration to naturally lift.

Please note: Due to the cutting process, gems may not be entirely flawless. Please consider this before making a purchase.  Colours may differ slightly due to lighting.

Sea Stone

Sea Sediment: Also called Sea Jasper, Ocean Jasper, Emperor Jasper

The latest additions to my etsy store.

Sediment is a naturally occurring material that is broken down by weathering and erosion, and is transported by wind, water, ice, and then gravity which act on the particles.

A deep trough in the sea just off land is ideal for the formation as rivers and streams collect the sediment from the land and in time transfers this to the sea or ocean. Nature also helps as tides gather pebbles, rock and even volcanic ash and transfers this with the land sediment into these troughs. In time the pressure from above compresses the sediment and liquids are squeezed out leaving just the minerals themselves which form the rock.

There are many natural sea troughs in the world which form sea sediment but those off the USA, South America and India are ideal as the chart shows.

The rock formed is not a hard rock and easily worked for jewellery.

Some sea sediment is dyed and It is difficult to determine which, the only 100% way is to drill through the stone and see if the colour goes all the way through. If all the stone is a shade of one colour all over it could be dyed. Another option, which does no damage to the stone, is to see if the pattern and colours follow from front side and back. © Copyright ApsoWest 2013

Recycling

Recycled beads, washed and ready to use.

I'm always on the lookout for beads. Some of the best finds come from thrift stores (second-hand shops). I love that I can change items into something different.  I do search the internet for new and unusual beads also. There is so much choice out there.  Now, to decide what to make...
