What's In a Rock?

Rocks are precious, and not just because I love them so much!

I'm a total rock nerd, but it's what's inside that intrigues me, not the outside. As a jewelry maker, I always research what's in rocks to see if I can incorporate them into my bracelets, jewelry, and earrings.

I want to take this time to tell you about the benefits and significance of each of these semiprecious rocks, and why I put them into my jewelry.

1) Lava Stone

This is used on my bracelets the most, and for good reason! Lava stones are known for providing stabilization and confidence to those who wear them. They match the zodiac signs of Aries and Scorpio, but people of all different Zodiac signs tell me that one of my lava stone bracelets (combined with essential oils, of course), makes them feel better about themselves and about life itself.

2) Sodalite

Sodalite is fairly new to me, I found it on my search for stones for my stress, anxiety and boom this is it.  Definitely a keeper.
Imagine deep blue ocean waves crashing on the rocks.  Watch the water receding the white veins of foam receding.  Kind of like the calm after all the chaos.  All your worries, fears, stress just receding and fading out to sea.  Sodalite will encourage this release, bring the calm, allow peace and restore balance. 
The sodalite rock can help bring supreme calm and relaxation to your day, creating an unbreakable aura of triumph in the tough times.

3) Lepidolite

Sense a pattern? The lepidolite rock is known for providing calm, as well as a laser-sharp focus. I put on a bracelet with one of these when I'm faced with a big task, as the lepidolite helps me hone in on what needs to be done and helps me relax.  Lepidolite contains lithium a mineral used in many anxiety medications and some could say that this is a mom's favorite piece of jewelry...
