PERSEPHONE
PERSEPHONE
Queen of the underworld in Greek mythology, Persephone is the daughter of Zeus and the harvest goddess Demeter. After her abduction by Hades, Persephone was fated to spend one-third of her time in the underworld. Because she could escape the underworld each year, she is representative of spring and rebirth.
This bracelet, like Persephone, is a play of light and dark. 10mm deep amethyst, titanium plated drusy agate and lava beads play off aquamarine colored crystal and silver plated aurora borealis crystal rondelles. This is my personal, daily "go-to" piece.
Each bracelet comes with your choice of KUMARA diffuser oil sample to be applied to only the lava beads. Small and large bracelet sizes are approximately 7 and 8 inches.
Stone Properties:
Drusy Agate
Agate raises awareness and links into the collective consciousness of the oneness of life. It encourages quiet contemplation of one's life experiences that lead to spiritual growth and inner stability. [Hall, 39]
Drusy has many metaphysical properties; most of which are directly related to the gem material with which it is attached. Overall, the stone purifies and amplifies the body's natural healing properties and strengthens the spirit. It is also believed to provide the balance necessary to avoid depression or unnatural feelings of fear or dread.
Still others believe that drusy helps its wearer to relax, thereby reducing stress levels. Some go so far as the claim that it can re-energize the body and be emotionally uplifting. Psychics believe that the gem can help to open blocked energy and assist its wearer find his or her own inner light. It can also help one to connect on all levels to their particular higher power.
Aquamarine Colored Crystal (heat treated)
Like humans, each Clear Quartz crystal is unique, each with its own personality, lessons, and experiences. The crystals attracted into one's life are stones that will in some way help facilitate personal growth and awareness. They may work subliminally in unawakened minds, but for those spiritually attuned to the universe Quartz crystals are like beacons of light and positive energy to be used in daily thoughts, feelings, words and actions and integrated onto the earth. [Raphaell, 50-51]
As a connection between the physical dimension and the spiritual, Clear Quartz enhances communication with plants, animals, minerals, and in speaking with and receiving information from the Divine and other-worldly masters, teachers and healers. Its natural tendency is for harmony and brings a sense of purpose to those who resonate with it. [Melody, 503]
Lava
Properties: The elemental powers of fire and earth, lava rocks are rich in minerals from deep in the earth's core. Born of fire, these molten creations raise to the surface and become porous creations of earth. Fire is one of the four classical elements in ancient Greek philosophy and science. It was commonly associated with the qualities of energy, assertiveness, and passion, while earth was commonly associated with qualities of practicality, restraint and materialism.
Lava rocks embrace both elements. These red and black lava rocks are a wonderful tool for the root chakra. The can be used for grounding, protection and making a connection to the earth. They allow us to "root" scattered energy, find focus and bring balance to our center by embracing practicality. This stone is beneficial when your 1st and/or 2nd chakras are energetically weak. They encourage stimulation.
