CRYSTAL CHIP BRACELET - Four Stone

Clear Quartz - Clarity, higher purpose
Clear quartz is often known as "rock crystal". We have termed it clear quartz to differentiate from milky quartz, which is whiter in colour but essentially the same chemically. THis type of quartz will still have internal markings in it.

Quartz helps to develop determination and structure in your life and helps focus your ideas and inspirations. Clear quartz acts as an amplifier for both positive thoughts and energy and can therefore be good to have around when positive action and focus is needed. It can be held or worn to bring more power to situations and to promote clarity of thought. Quartz is a stone of harmony and will tend to produce a more balanced state in you regardless of where you are. It is often thought of as the stone of the stars as it helps to bring you in line with a higher purpose, both in a personal and a more universal way. It can also aid in bringing about altered states of consciousness and stimulate psychic abilities.

In terms of healing clear quartz can help to stimulate healing in the chakras of the body and also in healing the four bodies: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. It also tends to combat radiation and static so can be good to have near a computer monitor.

Clear quartz has been used by many traditions such as Celts, Native American, Egyptian African, Mayan and Aboriginal in the use of healing, communicating with spirits and attaining an enlightened state.

Clear quartz helps to dispel negative energy you may have absorbed from other people. If you tend to put yourself down, quartz may help you fight that feeling. It is good to hold or have around whenever you feel foggy, uncertain or would like to see your way more clearly. It is one of the most frequently used crystals because of its wide-ranging benefits.

Rose Quartz - Love and calm.
Rose quartz is one of the most popular crystals along with amethyst and clear quartz. It has a calming and soothing energy. It promotes self-love and helps overcome feelings of not being 'good' enough, self-criticism and resentment. It reminds us that when you love yourself and are happy in the moment there is no need for haste. Rose quartz embraces the one true currency of life, love.

Amethyst - Spiritual, calming
The wonderfully coloured amethyst, with its variety of shades of purple reminds us of the spiritual thread that runs through our life and can be used as a tool to aid spiritual awakening and intuition. Amethyst can bring a calming influence and therefore be of great help in times of change. It's excellent to hold or have by you when you're practicing meditation and when placed in a room it can help absorb negativity. Placed under the pillow it may help you sleep better.

Aventurine - Companion for the pioneering spirit
Aventurine energy feels uncomplicated and fresh and can be useful for washing the aura at times of mental or emotional stress, when we need a stone to hold in our hand whilst connecting with a clearer path.

Aventurine is good to have around when making decisions as it reminds us to connect to the heart and the idea that it does not matter which road we take because it will always be the right one. It is a good companion for the pioneering spirit, someone who is pushing themselves to places they have never been before. A good all round healing stone.
