Gemstones and crystals produce a variety of effects as healing stones, chakra stones, lucky stones, ritual stones or protective stones.
When you start to look into the topic of crystals and gemstones, it can be a little overwhelming at first. What makes the small and large energy stones so special? Which one is right for me and what effect is it known for? And what do I do with it? Don't worry, we felt the same way in the beginning. The first thing you need to know: You can't really do anything wrong. Gemstones can be easily integrated into your everyday life.
Gemstones are considered powerful companions, especially at a time when we spend most of our day looking at small screens. We quickly forget the world around us and feel disconnected – from nature, our fellow human beings and ultimately ourselves.
Even if you quickly forget it with the dazzling colors and extraordinary cuts: gemstones come from nature. They are formed from magma in the earth's interior or by high pressure on a rock and can transfer this energy to us. It often takes many thousands of years for a stone to penetrate to the earth's surface.
So the stone you finally hold in your hands is many years older and carries a lot of wisdom and power. Let yourself be grounded by this thought, arrive in the moment and look not only into the future, but also to what has already been. This is the only way we can learn.
Whether you just wear your new companion and let it work on you ~ or use it for rituals and ceremonies is now in your hands.
The Andean opal, as its name suggests, comes from the Andes of Peru, has a hardness of 6 to 7 and belongs to the family of opal quartz. It occurs in the colors pink, blue-green, brown and white, whereby the differently colored stones are also said to have different properties.
Even with the Incas and Aztecs, the stone had a special meaning: an eye of the gods, which was left behind by them when they left the earth. From the point of view of these ancient tribes, it was a stone of hope that reminded us in times of war that people, animals and nature belong together in harmony. Even today, this stone is considered a protective and healing stone in Peru and is traditionally worn as jewelry.
Above all, the pink Andean opal is said to dispel depressive moods and fears. In addition, it promotes real love, but it also intensifies the desire for eroticism and sexuality. It gives spontaneity and joie de vivre and thus helps you to survive everyday life in a good mood and thus better. The physical effect manifests itself in an improved function of enzymes, but also helps in the prevention of worm infestations, mites and viral infections. It is commonly known as the healing stone of the digestive system. Among other things, it relieves inflammation and discomfort in the stomach area, promotes metabolism and strengthens the liver, especially if it is damaged by toxins and alcohol.
The green-blue or greenish stone, on the other hand, has calming properties, releases mental blocks, strengthens memory and, especially during exams, helps to keep calm or find it again. It also has a positive effect on the body. It is often used for lung problems, as it relieves allergic reactions of the lungs and bronchi. In general, it can be said that the body's willingness to react allergically to something is inhibited. It works particularly well with allergens such as animal hair, environmental toxins and dust
The brown-white Andean opal combines the properties of pink and green-blue stone and also has a reinforcing effect on their positive properties when used together.
The white stone, on the other hand, is hardly said to have any special positive properties for humans, but it can be used to suck out the negative energies that have accumulated in the other Andean opals and thus purify them without having to discharge them.
Properties that are promised to all Andean opals would be, for example, the strengthening of one's own talents and expressiveness. In addition, inner satisfaction is improved and one reacts more balanced in stressful situations, but also in the relationship.
The stones should be cleaned and discharged regularly with lukewarm, clear water. Not to be forgotten is also the regular pulling out of the negative energies. After cleaning, charging in the rock crystal tumbled stone is recommended to ensure that the positive properties persist.
For energy cleansing, we recommend hematite tumbled stones, which you can find individually in our shop.
