It’s that time again!
Are you ready?
Painite
Painite. Source.
According to the source of this picture, Painite is one of the worlds rarest minerals, as per the Guiness Book of World Records and it has only been found in one spot in the world, Indonesia. It has the amazing attribute of changing colour between pinks and browns when viewed from different angles. It seems there may have been a new mine finding in Burma that is making this mineral more available to the layperson.
Metaphysically, this mineral is an amazing chakra opener, alleviates pain on all levels, and aids in reprogramming the subconscious mind by getting rid of subliminal messages. Wow! Helpful little guy!
Peridot in Volcanic Lava
Peridot in Lava. Source is no longer found; on Ebay.
Umm… This doesn’t even look real to me! It certainly is though it has been carved to create this shape. Google has a few more of these beauts. I love it! The mix of textures from peridot to the lava is amazing.
Moldavite
Elephant Carving in Moldavite. Source cannot be found.
Who wouldn’t want their moldavite carved into an elephant or some other creature, like a butterfly?
I think this artistry is simply amazing.
Quartz Cluster in the Chicago Botanical Gardens
I would love to be walking around the Buchart Gardens here in Victoria and just randomly stumble upon a quartz cluster larger then me. It’d be a pretty great surprise. This photo just put the Chicago Botanical Gardens on my list of go-to places when I go to Chicago (I’ve never really thought about visiting Chicago so its the only thing on my list as of yet!).
Bumblebee Jasper

This is a stunning photo of Bumblebee Jasper. Seriously jaw-dropping. We had some in the crystal store I used to work at set in pendants and it didn’t seem to sell well (seems most people stick to what they know like quartz varieties and astrology associated minerals). It’s gorgeous though.
Opal in Skull Ring

This. Is. Simply. Brilliant!!!! I love it! I’d never wear it but I can definitely appreciate its ingenuity and beauty all at once! It’s definitely worth looking at the creators website. There’s a lot of really unique pieces there.

Amazing. Pure Light Hearted Amazing. Chrysocolla is helpful for those wishing to embody Goddess energy and to have heartfelt communication with other Beings. Its a powerful yet peaceful stone for communication. It’s truly, one of my favourites. 😉
