Crystals carved into the shape of skulls are often mistaken or feared as a symbol of death. In fact, they can be used as a tool for spiritual growth and enlightenment. Their beauty lies not only in the crystal carving itself but in the ancient wisdom and knowledge they carry. Using the Light and pure intentions, you can tap into this to expand and elevate your consciousness. They can become companions and channelers of information and knowledge meant for your highest good. Choose a skull by holding it in your hand to feel its vibration. You may be drawn to a particular skull because the energy of the crystal resonates with you. Sometimes they choose you!
You will need to activate your skull in order to tap into their energy and messages. Sit in a light meditative state and ask to be connected with your spirit guides for guidance and for grounding into Mother Earth. While holding the skull in front of your heart space, tap into the infinite stream of unconditional Love and ask that its energy be cleared of any old programming and work only through the Light and work for your highest good. Send Love to your skull and set the intention that it will accompany you on your spiritual journey. While sitting in meditation, you may receive the name of the skull. Trust the first thing that comes in your mind. You may not hear anything and that is okay. Trust your intuition and the process. Everything is revealed through divine timing. The messages flowing through the skull could be guidance from your Higher Self, ancestors, or Source. Everyone will have their own unique experience!
The Universe provides us with these crystal carvings to offer us peace, knowledge and enlightenment!
We had an incredible sourcing trip at the 2024 Denver Gem Show! We spent a week searching for amazing treasures and connecting with crystal lovers from all over the world. We were blessed to make some amazing connections and even took some time to enjoy the hot springs and head into the mountains for the weekend (another gem show tradition is celebrating with a concert at the end!). This Denver Gem Show was the year of the Lemurians, but we found so many unique and beautiful items that we can't wait to share them with you - stay tuned! Be sure to check out our Denver 2024 highlight on Instagram to see all of the behind the scenes!

If you followed along with us, you'll notice one of our gem show traditions is to build a crystal grid to set our intentions, send healing to Mother Earth, and infuse love and light to all of the beautiful crystals we bring home.
We choose crystals with properties that we feel will tap into the consciousness and energy of the gem show, the land, and the community. After finding the perfect spot to place the grid, we sage the land, invite our Reiki to flow through the crystals and the land, then we take turns placing different crystals in a grid like pattern.This year we chose Gold Sheen Obsidian, Angelite, Citrine, Tourmaline, Green Flower Agate, Moss Agate, Green Aventurine, Kunzite, Apophyllite, Green Kyanite blades, and Double Terminated Himalayan Points. And in the center of a grid, a rainbow filled Lemurian point. The combination of energy was grounding, expansive, and high vibrational! Individually, we set our own intentions for the show, the surrounding land, our amazing community, trusted vendors, the incredible people we meet along the way, and all of the crystal beauties we bring home with us. We incorporate intuitively created bracelets to carry the energy of the grid as we make our way through the gem show!
Crystal grids are one of the most powerful ways to manifest your intentions! Check out our Crystal Grid blog for more information about setting up your own crystal grid!
Libra, the seventh sign of the zodiac, is represented by the scales, symbolizing their deep desire for balance, harmony, and justice. People born between September 23 and October 22 fall under this air sign ruled by Venus, the planet of Love, beauty, and money.
Dates: Sept 23 - Oct 22 || Symbol: Scales || Element: Air || Planet: Venus
At the heart of a Libra's personality is their desire for balance and fairness. They have a strong sense of justice and are often seen as peacemakers. Libras tend to be drawn to careers such as lawyers, therapists, meditators, and social workers. Known for the diplomatic nature, they have the unique ability to see all sides of the argument. They are great communicators and excel at resolving conflicts in a peaceful manner.
Libras are known for their love of beauty and aesthetics. They are creative and excel at careers in hospitality, interior decorating, graphic design, florists, and fashion design. They have a taste for the finer things in life and enjoy surrounding themselves with luxury and comfort.
Libras can tend to be indecisive, seek approval from others, and avoid conflicts and confrontation. This can lead to people-pleasing behavior, putting others needs in front of their own. Consequently, they can feel unappreciated or taken advantage of. Crystals that Libras can work with to create healthy boundaries and open their heart space are Rainbow Moonstone, Rose Quartz, Kunzite, Blue Lace Agate, and Rhodonite.
Libras bring a sense of peace and harmony into our lives with their natural charm, sense of fairness, and love for beauty. They remind us of the importance of balance, fairness, and beauty!
The Autumn Equinox marks a time of balance and transition, when day and night are of equal length. This is a powerful time to reflect on balance in our own life-between the light and dark and giving and receiving. Taking the time to acknowledge and celebrate this seasonal shift can bring a deeper connection to Mother Earth and the Universe.
The Autumn Equinox, is also a time of harvest and gratitude. It is a moment to reflect on the abundance in our lives and give thanks for the blessings we have received. Tune into the energy of the Autumn Equinox in meditation to contemplate what you are grateful for in your life. Set intentions for the coming season and visualize the abundance you wish to attract. By honoring the energy of the Autumn Equinox, you are aligning yourself with the natural rhythms of Mother Earth. This can bring a sense of peace and harmony to your life, as well as help you manifest your desires.
Another way to harness the power of the Autumn Equinox is to create a crystal grid with not only crystals but also incorporating natural elements of the season, such as acorns and leaves. Our favorite crystals to bring in the energy of the Autumn Equinox are Tiger Eye, Smoky Quartz, Carnelian, Tourmaline in Quartz, and Labradorite. Using essential oils such as Cedarwood, Frankincense, and Sweet Orange can also help ground your energy, support reflection and introspection, and bring scattered thoughts into focus. Diffuse these oils in your home or apply to your skin to begin your day with purpose and clarity. Our Autumn oil blend incorporates those same elements to support you during this seasonal change.
Embrace the energy the Autumn Equinox and watch as the Universe aligns to support your intentions!
On September 18, the Earth will come between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow over a portion of the moon, creating a lunar eclipse. This cosmic event is believed to amplify the energy of the full moon, making it a powerful time for release, renew, and manifestation. It symbolizes a time of transformation and change, a period where old patterns and beliefs can be released, making way for new beginnings and growth. Embrace this energy to let go of what no longer serves you. In other words, where are you out of alignment with your authentic self? As you drop away patterns and beliefs that are no longer in right relationship with your true soul purpose, you will not only find more joy in your life but gain clarity on your spiritual path.
Harness this potent energy to connect with your intuition and Higher Self. This energy helps you tap into your subconscious mind. Trust your instincts! Use those intuitive hits to set intentions for the future. Take time to reflect on what you truly desire and write down your goals, dreams, and aspirations. The energy of the eclipse can amplify your intentions and help you manifest your dreams into reality. Building a crystal grid during the energy of the eclipse can heighten and amplify your intentions. Some of our favorite crystals to work with when manifesting are Ruby in Kyanite, Citrine, Smoky Quartz, Lemurian Quartz, and Flower Agate. Working with oracle or angel cards can also provide direction and guidance. Our favorites during eclipse and full moon energy are the Moonology™ series by Yasmin Boland.
Embrace this energy, trust in the process, and allow yourself to be guided by the wisdom of the cosmos. The Universe provides you with clarity, transformation, and abundance in all areas of your life!

Orgone, also known as Orgonite, is a type of Universal Life Force, such as Chi, Prana, Ki, Mana, or Universal Energy. These are the basic building blocks of all organic and inorganic material on the planet and the Universal Energy that is present in all living things and in the atmosphere. When Orgone energy flows freely, it helps support physical and emotional well-being. When it is blocked or disrupted, it can lead to the imbalance of the chakras, our body's energy systems, and affect our body, mind, and spirit.
Orgone-generating devices, such as Orgone pyramids, wands, pendants, points, and pendulums can be used to enhance Universal energy and mitigate electromagnetic frequencies (EMF). EMF is a type of electromagnetic radiation emitted from electronic devices. We are increasingly saturated with EMF from electronic devices such as smartphones, computers, Wi-Fi routers, among many others. The Orgone devices are composed of a mix of copper metal shavings, gemstone chips, and epoxy resin. This results in a highly efficient energy transmutation tool. Negative energy is absorbed and transmuted into positive energy while emanating the energy of a set intention.
To counteract EMF, place Orgone devices near electronic devices in your home or work place. Wearing an Orgone pendant is said to provide a personal field of protection, helping to shield your energy field from EMF as you go about your day.
Orgone devices can also be used in a meditation practice to deepen your connection with Universal energy. Pyramids represent the union of the trinity and the four directions, creating a vortex of energy that can heal, purify, and magnify your intentions. Wands and points are perfect for sending and receiving energy. Holding a point or wand vertically while meditating, you create a high vibrational pillar of light that represents the connectivity between the earth and the sky. With regular practice, you may feel more energized, focused, and balanced.
By incorporating orgone devices into your daily life, you can create a more balanced and harmonious environment for yourself and your loved ones.
Sometimes we all need a little help to stay on task and keep us from distractions. Essential oils are a natural way to enhance our focus and concentration. Here are our top 5 favorite oils to keep us on task throughout the day!
Rosemary: Known for its stimulating properties, Rosemary oil can help improve memory and mental clarity. It will gently invigorate and sharpen your senses. Pair Rosemary with a Fluorite crystal to further enhance its properties. Rosemary can have a strong aroma so a small amount is preferred.
Clary Sage: It brings in a balance of both calmness and stimulation into your environment. Clary Sage will not only strengthen your resolve but it can relax your mind while keeping you grounded. It also helps clear out dense energy in your work space.
Frankincense: This sacred oil is ideal for uplifting your sprit and brings in fresh energy. Lessen the worry and stress of deadlines with its calming, peaceful properties.

Because of their familiar and refreshing scent, these oils work well with children. Enjoy their boost of positivity in their study or play space.

There are several ways to incorporate essential oils into your daily routine to help improve focus and concentration. You can diffuse the oils in a diffuser as you're studying or working. Use them in a roller or dilute with a carrier oil, such as Jojoba oil, and apply to pulse points. Or try them as a spray in your work space or home.

September's birthstone is known for its association with wisdom, intuition, and spiritual enlightenment. It is believed to enhance mental clarity and promote inner peace. Historically, people turned to Sapphire for guidance and protection during times of uncertainty.
When connecting with the energy of Sapphire, you may experience a heightened sense of intuition and insight.

Sapphire gently opens and removes blockages of the Throat Chakra. When our Throat Chakra is balanced, we speak our true emotions, desires, and stand in our authentic power. When we acknowledge and support our Throat Chakra we cultivate a greater sense of authenticity and connection in our interactions with others.
Whether you are drawn to the beauty of Sapphire or are seeking a deeper connection to your spiritual self, Sapphire can offer a sense of peace and clarity on your journey. Embrace the power of Sapphire and unlock the wisdom that lies within!
We are frequently asked, "What crystal can I use for protection?" Our favorite is Black Tourmaline and no crystal works harder for us. It's one of our favorites for protection and for absorbing low lying energies such as fear, sadness, anxiety and anger. We often recommend it to customers looking for needed relief in their work and living spaces. Use it in your vehicles, handbags, backpacks, luggage when traveling or anywhere you're in public spaces. You can place a piece in the four corners of your home or work space.
This crystal emits an incredibly grounding energy and creates a defensive energetic shield around your aura. Sometimes we unknowingly absorb dense or low lying energies from other people or spaces. This can lead us to feel unmotivated, lethargic, unhappy, or anxious. These emotions are not ours but we carry them in our auric fields as if they are. They take us out of alignment and cause difficulty sleeping, concentrating or relating to others. Using Tourmaline is one of the many tools that can help prevent you from picking up unwanted energies.
Keep your tourmaline regularly cleansed and charged. We recommend Selenite, smudging with herbs, or using sound vibrations to transmute low lying energies into a higher vibration. Infusing the Tourmaline with an intention such as, "Protect myself, loved ones, and my space from emotions, thoughts and energies that are not mine and not for my highest good. Send Love and Light back to those energies so that they are transmuted to a higher vibration. Thank you, thank you, thank you." Working with this bodyguard protection crystal will help keep you grounded and centered at home and on the go!
