Power of the Rainbow

Gemstone Heaven 

Meet a cool family in Texas that are into stones like me!

 Power of the Rainbow is a rock shop in Arlington, TX. I discovered them right after I moved to Arlington and even though I'm in Dallas now, quite a ways away from them, I still keep up with them. 

 In my humble opinion, they are the best.
If you need a stone, chances are they got it. If they don't they can get it. Even the rare Jeremejevite. Power of the Rainbow is a family owned business. 

 Fall is a superb wire artist and a dear friend of mine. Her wire work has won awards. She's that good.

 Ever heard of Max the Crystal Skull? The guardian of that skull often stops by POW to have readings. They always have cool stuff going on that, if you are in the area, you should check out. If you need a stone but live far away, they ship.


This store is not just about gems, minerals, and wire art. Tray shapes his stones such as Tanzanite, (Yes I've held some $10K worth in their store!) into beautiful cabochons, but he also makes Native American style jewelry, drums, and much more. 

 Tray's and his family also hold  classes on wire wrapping, drumming, workshops on crystal healing, and much more at this shiny gemstone store. 

 Power of the Rainbow is located at 1730 W. Randol Mill Rd. Ste 125 in Arlington, TX 76012. They are closed Sunday and Monday.  Be sure to give them a call if you need a stone, jewelry, plan a visit or more.  817-261-6300. You can also visit their website (click here) and like them on Facebook (click here)

Joyous #Sunstone: A #Happy #Gemstone of Delightfulness

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! .
