Gemstones Used

Carnelian dates back to the Bronze Age, circa 1800 BC, on the island of Crete. Romans believed it to be a stone of courage giving confidence and strength. Ancient Egyptians placed carnelian stones on mummies to assist the dead in their journey to the afterlife. Alchemists in the Middle Ages boiled carnelian with other stones to release their energies. Carnelian is a variety of chalcedony, a microcrystalline quartz. It is formed from the intergrowth of two silica minerals with differing crystal structures: quartz and moganite. Carnelian appears in a vibrant range of fire-orange reds to brown-reds The reddish tints in the translucent stone are due to one of its ingredients: iron oxide. Carnelian is most commonly found in India, Brazil, Siberia and Germany.

Tiger iron (or tigereye matrix) is a quartz-lignite aggregate gemstone containing layers of vibrant golden Tiger's Eye, metallic grey Hematite and rich, red Jasper. It is believed to be a rare and potent three-fold stone; grounding the energy, protecting the spirit and manifesting the will of the wearer. Formed in sedimentary deposits, some geologists think this stone is a stromatolite while others think tiger iron is a banded iron formation, formed when the earth was far more oxygen-rich than it is now. Deposits of tiger iron are found in Australia, Brazil, Mexico, in the Lake Superior area of the United states and in the Moclestone area of England.

Moonstone may have been confused with other crystals though it appears in Egyptian myth, medieval folk remedies for epilepsy, and is considered a magical gem in many cultures. 18th century mineralogy progressed enough to definitively categorize moonstone as a type of feldspar displaying a milky-white gleam. Major deposits are found in Sri Lanka, India, Brazil, USA and Madagascar. This prismatic crystal, revered across space and time for its universal appeal, is at once dreamy and intimate, much like the Moon itself!
