Ruby: Stone of Nobility

Ruby wrapped by the Gem Diva in 14K Gold Filled Wire; Sold
What comes to your mind when you think of rubies? Royalty and riches? What about power and red? Ruby is a very precious gemstone that evokes the aura of power and richness. What, exactly is a ruby besides a beautiful and expensive gemstone? Actually, you can get rubies for low prices--just go to a gem and mineral/new age type store and get them tumbled. They don't have to be cut and faceted to still be  a ruby. 

 Ruby is a red form of Corundum, which is the aluminum analogue of Eskolaite, Hematite, and Karelianite. As a a stone of nobility, a Ruby's energy is intense and vivid. Ruby demands that you follow your bliss and acts like a plug for holes in your energy field. It's great for your Base Chakra since it stimulates our basic instinct for survival while at the same time, energizing our heart centers and strengthening our physical heart.

Being that Base Chakra stone, Ruby brings out our passion and zest for life. It motivates setting of realistic goals and balances the heart. Ruby is a joyful stone that brings moments of laughter and courage in the face of rough times.  Ruby is a stone of positive dreams and also stimulates the pineal gland which is your Third Eye Chakra

 Ruby's physical healing propertis overcome exhaustion and lethargy while also calming hyper activity. It detoxifies the body, blood and lymphatic system; treats fevers, infectious diseases and stimulates the adrenals, kidneys, and reproductive organs. 

 Ruby is more than a gemstone, it is a message that says, "I am powerful," Embrace that power, for we all have it within each of us. Ruby is just here to stimulate that power and to remind you, we are all Divine.

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...

Jeremejevite: One of the most rarest crystals on earth

Image
Since moving to Arlington, TX, a DFW suburb, I stumbled upon this gem of a store. The owner, Trey, is super friendly and knows his stuff when it comes to gems and minerals. Trey does it all: he wire wraps, solders, cuts gems and minerals shaping them into cabs (cabachons for those of you who are not nerds like me) facets gems like emerald and diamonds. I'm so glad I found Trey and his shop which is right across the street from my apartment.  Today I went over to Power of The Rainbow to pick out a moonstone for a commission. And maybe a couple of extras to wrap and sell. Trey and I got to talking about Phenakite and, yes, I'm gonna make some earrings, but he pulled out this little, tiny, almost microscopic piece that had a name so huge. This piece, he told me, would sell for about $300ish on the market. He was selling it for $50. Why? Because Trey is the type of person who, when he gets  good deal, he makes sure he passes that on to his customers.  Anyway, Trey w...

Gemstones: Semi Precious and Precious

Image
What Are Precious and Semi Precious Gemstones? When most people think of gemstones, they think of diamonds, rubies, and sapphires. They don't think of phenakite, moldavite, morganite, alexandrite, carnelian, cinnabar, or others. Most people think of precious stones. And semi precious stones like amethyst and citrine come to mind also.  So what makes them precious or semi precious? Definition of a Gemstone First, a gemstone or jewel is a mineral that is been cut and polished to sparkle and dazzle. All gemstones are not minerals though. Some are organic like amber and pearl. Today, diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and sapphire are considered precious stones and the rest are semi precious. Why? I have no clue. It's just the way modern society has it and they got their ideas from the Ancient Greeks. Read more here. But gemstones such as Tsavorite, a form of green garnet, can cost more than an emerald. Why? Because some semi precious stones are rare. Gemstone Groups ...
