Zincite

Zincite is a modern crystal for modern times. It purges toxicity and miasms the industrial age has bought with it. It is a highly recommended recommended elixir to this purpose.

Zincite was created when a mine caught fire in Poland, when it eventually went out, they found these crystals inside. There was also a very old smoke stack within the same complex which also had the same crystals in it.

It is powerful as a group meditation tool, especially for lightworkers that are working towards a common cause.

In elixir form it is also good for hair, skin, and nails. It helps provide physical and creative energy to the body’s systems.

    Turquoise

    I have had a lot of friends request that I do this stone…. and for good reason!

    Turquoise carries great wisdom of basic truth within it. It is one of the oldest stones known. This is a stone that a person must learn to attune to instead of the stone attuning to the person. It is important that the owner of a Turquoise give it the proper attention. 

    ****If given a turquoise by a loving friend, that stone would protect the wearer from negative energy and bring good fortune. The turquoise is the symbol of friendship. It also brings peace to the home.

    I made some important things bold :)
