Gemstones & crystals produce a variety of effects as healing stones, chakra stones, lucky stones, ritual stones or protective stones.
When you start looking 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 then what do I do with it? Don't worry, we felt the same way at 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 separated - 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 arise from magma inside the earth or through high pressure on a rock and can transfer this energy to us. It often takes many thousands of years for a stone to penetrate the earth's surface.
The stone you finally hold in your hands is many years older and carries a lot of wisdom and power. Let this thought ground you, arrive in the moment and look not only to 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 opal quartz family. It comes in the colors pink, blue-green, brown and white, and the differently colored stones are also said to have different properties.
The stone already had a special meaning for the Incas and Aztecs: an eye of the gods that they left behind when they left the earth. From the perspective of these ancient tribes, it was a stone of hope, a reminder in times of war that people, animals and nature belong together in harmony. This stone is still considered a protective and healing stone in Peru today and is traditionally worn as jewelry.
The pink Andean opal in particular is said to drive away depressive moods and fears. In addition, it promotes real love, but it also increases the desire for eroticism and sexuality. It gives spontaneity and joy of life and helps you to get through everyday life in a good mood and therefore better. The physical effect is expressed in an improved function of the enzymes, but also helps in the prevention of worm infestations, mites and viral infections. It is generally known as a healing stone for 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 poisons and alcohol.
The green-blue or greenish stone, on the other hand, has calming properties, clears mental blocks, strengthens memory and, especially during exams, helps to maintain or find calm again. It also has a positive effect on the body. It is often used for lung problems as it relieves allergic reactions in 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 on allergens such as animal hair, environmental toxins and dust
The brown-white Andean opal combines the properties of the pink and the green-blue stone and also enhances 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 cleanse 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 the ability to express themselves. In addition, inner satisfaction is improved and you react more balanced in stressful situations, but also in relationships.
The stones should be cleaned and discharged regularly with lukewarm, clear water. Don't forget to regularly draw out negative energies. After cleaning, charging in the rock crystal tumbled stone is recommended to ensure that the positive properties continue.
For energy cleansing, we recommend hematite tumbled stones, which you can find individually in our shop.
