Gemstones Used
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!
Chrysoprase has been used since ancient times for jewelry, seals, and other ornate objects. A rare gemstone in the Chalcedony family, its name is derived from Greek meaning green with a golden drop. Many different cultures attributed magical healing powers to this quartz crystal from stomach and vision problems to bleeding, childbirth and to sharpen your wits! Found in eroded deposits as clumps and fillings in cracks, Chrysoprase is a micro-crystalline aggregate of Silicon Dioxide. Soothing to gaze upon with it's soft green and golden colors, this stone will continue to be appreciated for centuries to come.
Golden Rutilated Quartz, known as Venus's hair stone due to golden threads found throughout, has been admired and valued for centuries. The threads are actually inclusions of mostly Titanium Dioxide and can appear gold, silver, copper or deep black. While inclusions usually devalue a gemstone, for this glorious quartz, it adds value as well as remarkable aesthetic beauty.
Sunstone was once rare and expensive until major deposits were found in Siberia and Norway. A specific variety known as “Heliolite” is also found in Oregon, USA. One legendary Heliolite was found in the ancient lava field of Warner Valley. There, a great soldier was wounded by an arrow, and his blood dripped on this precious gemstone imbuing it with his sacred warrior power. This orange to red feldspar gemstone has subtle gold sparkling speckles that one can only fully appreciate if looking with intention.
Onyx has been revered since antiquity and is even found in several passages of ancient Hebrew scripture. Once considered a powerful gem enhanced by inscribing, it is found with etchings in the archaeological record from varying cultures and historical eras. This beautiful quartz stone forms in hollow spaces in volcanic stone with low acidity. Though often thought of as a solid black stone, the onyx family contains a multitude of colors including cornelian onyx, sardonyx, and green onyx.
Opal was highly prized among the Greeks and believed to possess the positive qualities of all other stones combined. In India, the Opal is legendary and regarded as a bringer of luck because it combines the virtues of all other stones. Found in hollowed spaces within hardened lava, this lovely gem is formed by hydro-thermal erosion and petrification representing beauty and resilience in the face of overwhelming external pressures.
