Herkimer Diamonds Are Very Special Indeed There is a special type of quartz crystal that is naturally double tourminated and naturally cut as if with divine precision. Theses diamonds, for they have the same hardness are can be mistaken for the actual diamond, are found in the Herkimer minds of New York. Hence the name, Herkimer Diamond. I've wrapped and sold two of these lovely gems (one in 14K Gold and one in copper) and the energy is much difference from that of a clear tumbled quartz.

A Really Cool Type of Quartz Titanium Quartz is a beautiful type of quartz that is treated with Titanium.  It has the Elements of both--Fire and Storm which creates a firestorm of amazing energy. This gem increases your life force energy (Chi) and projects out strength. Quartz is a gem that amplifies, so the energy of the Titanium Quartz has it's own power source, so to speak. As a previous wearer of Titanium Quartz, I can tell you that wearing the gem is like plugging yourself into a power source. It opens you up to higher and good energy, grounds you and soothes you. Titanium Quartz is a gem that takes away the negative and fills the void with joy, love, and peace. It brings light and laughter to your aura and is an all around healing gem--that heals on all levels. The stone above was dear to me, but when a stone needs to be let go, it will let you know. And yes, I sold it with the earrings and know it has a good home. Titanium Quartz Druzy I have a...

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 sen...
