Description: This bracelet is one of our recent designs in response to the current climate of fear and uncertainty. Globally we are facing some rough seas right now, full of scary waves, leaving us feeling uncertain if our vessels will get us safely through it. Many are feeling lost and alone with only our own thoughts while at sea. In these types of times, we all need a little nurturing, balancing, grounding, and protection. That is what this bracelet is designed to provide with its combination of energies.
We have fallen in love with African Opal Jasper. It is somewhat of a mystery, and many debate whether to call it Opal or Jasper. However, we believe it is best characterized as part of the Jasper “Supreme Nurturer” family of stones. It provides calm, soothing, and purifying energies that cultivate creativity, insight and inspiration. It helps to see all sides to a situation and possibilities. It is there in times of stress by bringing tranquility and wholeness while encouraging internal honesty and courage to tackle life’s challenges.
Labradorite is known for its “flash” of iridescent colors deep inside when it catches the light. It is a highly mystical, magical and powerful stone that heightens intuition, psychic abilities, and seeing through illusions to the truth. It works with the Third Eye Chakra while also being a very protective stone that creates an energetic force field that surrounds and protects the aura, preventing external negative energies from penetrating and energy leaks from occurring within. This assists the user in rebuilding energy and strength. It also aligns the mind and body with the Higher Self and the Universe, enhancing intuition, intellect, and psychic abilities. It is the stone you want with you when facing and navigating any type of change or challenge because it assists in discovering the magic of spirit and establishing a true connection with the Universe. It is the stone of which ancient legends are made of.
Cat’s Eye is such a cool mystical looking stone. It has earned its name because it resembles the eye of a cat. Like a cat always landing on its feet, Cat’s Eye is probably best known for its protective properties of warding off evil and attracting good luck, wealth and prosperity. Who couldn’t use that? With regard to wealth, it is also known to help you regain wealth you have previously lost. It is a spiritual awakening stone, known for how fast and effective its energies work. It works to stimulate the Crown Chakra, assisting in recovery from prior trauma, relieving anxiety and stress, and stimulating intuition, creativity, and self-confidence. It shares with you its energy of “sight” and is known to assist in “seeing” another’s true intentions toward you.
You can’t have a bracelet to assist you in these times without Hematite, the “Big Daddy” of grounding. Hematite is the grounding force in the stone world that connects us to Mother Earth. Everyone can use a little Hematite in their life given its powerful grounding and balancing energy. Hematite assists the user in feeling centered and calm. Its energy is intense, but also subtle. It is also a very protective stone, assisting in protecting against harmful geopathic and electromagnetic energies. It is also said to be a great detoxifying stone. Hematite is one of our favorite stones to use, and something everyone should have on hand for those moments when balance and grounding is needed.
Who this bracelet is good for: All of us right now.
