Why our products are special & how we raise awareness for ethically sourced crystals with every purchase
Highest Quality & "Ethical Mining"
This product comes from the most ethically clean source & highest quality production.
We fight together for ethically correct minerals
We support a company founded by a friend who worked for Greenpeace for 30 years & has now started a company for the clean extraction of minerals.
We do not sell cheap and unethical large-scale productions from China & India
In this world, many minerals are extracted illegally, without protection, brutally, and corruptly. The conditions are often miserable from extraction to the grinding process, there is a lot of exploitation and the profit often goes to large corporations. Workers are poorly protected during extraction, if it is even legal at all, & the pay is a sad joke.
Through the cooperation of our company in Peru, we ensure to know: -Where our minerals come from, who extracted them & under what conditions, who polished the product & how it was processed, that it does not have a long supply chain & that we ultimately receive a specially tailored high-quality product that is unique on the market.
We therefore wish you much joy with this product. It comes from an ethically pure production & the minerals were found and processed directly in Peru.
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 opaline quartz. It occurs in pink, blue-green, brown, and white colors, with different properties attributed to the differently colored stones.
Even among the Incas and Aztecs, the stone had special significance: an eye of the gods, left behind by them when they left the earth. From the perspective of these ancient tribes, it was a stone of hope that, in times of war, reminded people that humans, 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.
Especially the pink Andean opal is said to dispel depressive moods and fears. In addition, it promotes true love, but it also increases the desire for eroticism and sexuality. It brings spontaneity and zest for life and thus helps one to get through everyday life in a good mood and therefore better. The physical effect manifests itself in an improved function of enzymes, but also helps in the prevention of worm infestation, mites, and viral infections. Generally, it is known as a healing stone for the digestive system. Among other things, it alleviates 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, dissolves mental blocks, strengthens memory, and especially helps to maintain or regain calm during exams. It also has a positive effect on the body. It is often used for lung complaints, as it alleviates allergic reactions of the lungs and bronchi. Generally, it can be said that the body's readiness to react allergically to something is inhibited. It works particularly well against allergens such as animal hair, environmental toxins, and dust.
The brown-white Andean opal combines the properties of the pink and green-blue stones and also enhances their positive properties when used together.
The white stone, on the other hand, is hardly attributed any special positive properties for humans, but it can be used to extract the negative energies that have accumulated in the other Andean opals and thus cleanse them without having to discharge them.
Properties attributed to all Andean opals include strengthening one's own talents and expressiveness. In addition, inner contentment is improved, and one reacts more balanced in stressful situations, as well as in relationships.
The stones should be regularly cleaned and discharged with lukewarm, clear water. Also not to be forgotten is the regular extraction of negative energies. After cleaning, charging in a rock crystal tumbled stone is recommended to ensure the continued existence of positive properties.
