Some of the items I got in my latest order from @bekkathyst !!!
I am obsessed, Especially with the purple labradorite palm stone. The angel aura druzy heart was a gift, and I love it.
I highly recommend shopping with Rebekka she’s so nice and accommodating, I’ve never been anything but ecstatic with every order. Such high quality, beautiful pieces. everything is packaged well for shipment. Excellent customer service. Overall I can’t say enough good things. 11/10
Bubbly and bouncy, Angel Aura is a delight to be around! They’re a bit ditzy but fiercely protective of the people they love.
Angel Aura can summon a slingshot using light balls as ammo. They can also summon Steven’s shield, Amethyst’s whip, Pearl’s sword, Opal’s bow and arrow, Smoky Quartz’s yo-yo and Rainbow Quartz 2.0’s umbrella.
I wanted to try my hand at a Steven + Opal fusion; it’s not perfect but I enjoyed working on this piece! @eltricvprwve helped me with the fusion dance pose, but everything else is my original work
These are my crystals, they’re so beautiful, and I’m obsessed with them. They’re completely cleansed, and I’ll be recharging them again soon; I’m hoping we have a clear night so I can lay them in the moonlight. I’m following in my mothers footsteps, when she was a teen, and into her young adult years, she had raw Amethyst and it was beautiful. I hope to add more to my collection soon, but for right now, I’m beyond happy and in love with my current crystals 💕🤍 I actually have felt more loving and calm during tough times since I’ve had them, and I just couldn’t be anymore happy with them! Soon I’ll be getting my heart shaped Selenite bowl and I’m so excited for that as well! 🤍
I overwhelmed myself while working on the 🎄💜𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗮𝘀💜🎄 ✨𝗠𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗕𝗼𝘅𝗲𝘀✨ that it drove me into a negative mindset. It’s the reason why I slowed down these past few days and distanced myself a bit from social media. I didn’t want what I perceived as more successful or appealing to affect how I viewed my own work, myself by extension and other fellow crafters/business owners. Social media can be treacherous like that, especially if you’re already tired and on the verge of burn out.😭 This is why breaks are so important! My creative juices are flowing and I’m excited again for what the future holds! 😳💜
Aura Amethyst, also known as “Rainbow Amethyst” or “Angel Aura Amethyst,” is a unique and enchanting crystal that results from a special treatment process known as aura coating. This process involves bonding precious metals, such as gold, platinum, or silver, onto the surface of amethyst crystals, creating a stunning iridescent effect with a spectrum of colors. Let’s explore the characteristics,…
So this topic has been refreshed in my mind since I went to a rock shop yesterday. For one, everything is way over priced, like low grade 1x1 inch amethyst should not be 30$ and little gemstone bead bracelets should be like 10$, not 25$-70$.
I would like to preface this by saying I am getting my degree in geology and have done so much research.
But my real qualm is that all these shops literally make up and mislabel rocks all the time and everyone, especially people who use it for their practices, just buy into it. Common things I see being mislabeled or just made up include:
-'Blue/turquoise obsidian':
No! That's literally just glass, or at the very least not obsidian. Blue obsidian technically exists but its 1) super rare and expensive and 2) looks almost completely black but has a blue/steelish iridescence.
-Literally any color of sardonyx than black/brown/red/white:
This is either dyed or just some other kind of agate. Sardonyx is a combination of Sard (red/brown/orange) and Onyx (black/white). There was only one instance in which I saw anyone say that sardonyx can be green, and it was some dude on Reddit with a picture that had no source or citation.
- 'Citrine'
Obviously citrine is real but so many people sell fake/heat treated amethyst
Fake:
real:
Real citrine tends to be muted yellow and brown, and not very foggy or white. It also has a consistent color throughout. Heat treated amethyst is typically super vibrant in color and bold yellow, gold, or even dark brown. They are inconsistent in color and tend to be darker at the ends, and have white bases.
-Aurora/angel aura and titanium quartz
This is just some other kind of quartz that they put some chemical coat on to make it look like that, its not naturally occurring.
I just see so many people being misinformed online and in stores, and these are like the most common ones. Also I want to say that I don't care that people are BUYING these, it's not necessarily hurting anyone.
I hate seeing people gatekeeping rocks or like yelling at inexperienced practitioners for using the wrong kind of rock but then go on to use heat treated amethyst as citrine (which are chemically different). Literally almost every kind of rock in a rock store is quartz, like aventurine, onyx, sardonyx, agate, jasper, etc. Like telling someone they cant use carnelian and they have to use sard instead is dumb because they're literally both quartz.
If you only care about the color of the rocks for your practice, then leave it at that. But telling someone they can't use a specific rock because its going to give them like bad vibes is so necessary and just wrong.
