Coppery Shimmers




I found this awesome and soothing mineral mix and just fell in love. The first thing that drew my eye to the stone was the copper that was embedded in the minerals. And an image came to my head--the very ones you see in the photos now. The other two minerals are Chrysocolla and Cuprite. I added .925 Sterling Silver wire at the base and to the sides near the top.  Click here to buy the pendant.

Properties of Copper:

Occupying the same family of the periodic table as silver and gold; each having one s-orbital eletron on top of a filled electon shell, copper has a very high thermal and electrical conductivity and is malleable. 

Since copper has a wonderful physical conductor of electricity and heat, many consider it the conductor of the spiritualist's belief system; having the ability to conduct spiritual energy back and forth between individuals, crystals, auras, the mind and the spirit world. Some believe that copper has the power to amplify thoughts when sending and receiving psychic communications. Many artists use copper to "straighten out" the energies of the stones they are working with. Copper can stimulate the flow of energy and move psychic energies thereby helping the wearer overcome lethargic tendencies. Copper also amplifies thoughts.

Copper is also a physical healer of arthritis and many people wear copper bracelets. 



Properties of Cuprite:

Cuprite is a reddish-brown mineral with a high copper content that is known for reducing worries about things out of your control. Cuprite teaches and delivers spiritual messages and is known to activate the Kundalini energy as well as opening the flow of your root chakra, solar plexus chakra and balancinte the heart and root chakras with one another. Cuprite is a grounding stone and has been known for being used to recall past life experiences.

Properties of Chrysocolla:

Chrysocolla calms, cleanses and reenergizes all the chakras. It draws out guilt, heals heartache and increases the capacity to love. Improves communication and opens psychic vision. Encourages self-awareness and inner balance. Imparts confidence and sensitivity. Chrysocolla enhances personal power and inspires creativity. Overcomes phobias by drawing out negativity and supplying motivation. Reduces mental tension. Promotes truth-telling and impartiality. Alleviates guilt and brings in joy.

Chrysocolla treats arthritis, bone disease, muscle spasms, blood disorders and lung problems. It detoxifies the liver, kidneys and intestines. Re-oxygenates the blood, regenerates the pancreas and regulates insulin. Strengthens muscles and alleviates muscle cramps. Chrysocolla heals infections, lowers blood pressure and soothes burns. Treats PMS and menstrual cramps.

Boost Up Your Spirit with the Happy Sunstone   Sunstone is like an emotional high. It's happy, filled with light and bursting with joy. The theme song of this song is Happy , by Pharrell Williams., for obvious reasons.  It's just good vibes, happy, energetic. If you feel down or got the blues, it's time to restore and nurture yourself. This energizing stone will light the inner darkness and help you to be more joyful.  It's great for all your chakras, especially the solar plexus, and allows the real you to emerge from the sidelines.  Meditating while holding Sunstone will help you feel connected to the light, God, Higher Power, Source, whatever you call it. I personally call it God. Sunstone says it's your time to shine on.  Sunstone removes hooks from other people. What that means is this: that person in your life that's negative and you know you should let them go but can't. That's a hook. Hooks cam be mental or emotional b

My Teacher, Daryl Thompson

Daryl Thompson Taught Me More Than Just How To Wire Wrap Gemstones Into Jewelry.  Painting of Daryl by a fan. (I don't know their name) Before I go into detail about his legendary music, let me introduce Daryl to you from my eyes.  In 2007, I was in Atlanta walking through Little 5 Points trying to sell my art. I was broke, a student in Job Corps, trying to make extra cash to help my mother get off the streets. I found myself in Elegance Boutique and met Denise and Daryl for the first time. The Daryl I met was kind, caring, and very informative about jewelry and gemstones. I felt at home from that first moment and knew that these two people were special. Time passed and I became close to them both. Daryl needed a website and online presence for his music. I didn't know he was a musician. I thought, "Okay cool. He can rock out," I had no idea of the gem I found until I was typing up his music resume for the website and learned he was a Grammy winner. Yes

Happy Birthday Dad

Today was the day Daryl Adonis Thompson was born. He was my adoptive father. He had a heart so big that any daughter that crossed his path without a father he would claim. Daryl, besides being a good father and husband to his wife, was a Grammy winning guitarist and a master of wire wrapping. He is the one who taught me. You can read more about him here . Today I just wanted to do more than wish him a happy birthday while he's in a better place than here. I wanted to post one of my favorite videos of him and Mishka playing on the Carson Daily Show. So Enjoy! .
