One of our most requested crystals in our shop is Moldavite! We frequently receive requests from customers searching for that perfect piece. People are intrigued by its ability to transform and expand your spiritual horizons.
Moldavite is a Tektite (a crystal created when asteroids, meteorites, or comet collide with our planet) that formed 14.8 millions years ago when a large meteorite crashed into what is now known as the Czech Republic. It was used for centuries as a talisman, amulet, and even fashioned into tools and weapons. According to Czech folklore, it was historically used as a gift to honor love and marriage. Many believe Moldavite has extraterrestrial origins and this suggestion has led to its reputation as a crystal to connect with a higher power.
The energy of Moldavite can have different effects on people. Some people feel flushed, dizzy, or off balance and they cannot be near it. Others utilize Moldavite on a daily basis, such as in their meditation or energy healing practice. Moldavite clears blockages and aligns all the chakras and this can affect our body, mind, and spirit. Because of its high vibration, it can transform your life and that journey will look different for everyone. Some may find relationships come to an end, unexpected job loss, financial changes, or other unintended challenges. However, all this is to remove what is toxic to your soul as the goal is to align yourself with Source and authentic spiritual self.
Moldavite can be used in dream time to delve deeper into your subconscious, astral travel, or connect with higher beings. It can awaken hidden memories and past lives. Keeping Moldavite in your bedtime may also disturb your sleep and cause restless nights. Be aware of how it affects your daily life and adjust as needed.
Moldavite is a powerful tool for the ascension process. It's recommended to work with it slowly and respectfully. Not everyone will be in tune to its vibration and that's okay. When you are ready for Moldavite, it will let you know.
Cedarwood's (Juniperus virginiana) sweet, balsamic aroma combined with its natural ability to calm and strengthen our resolve is one of our favorites on its own or for blending with other oils. It can ease tension and clear your mind so you can focus on the day ahead.
Therapeutic & Energetic Qualities
Cedarwood is a natural astringent, anti-inflammatory, and has antibacterial properties. Historically, Cedarwood has been used in folk medicine as an astringent, to treat kindey and bladder conditions, and for respiratory congestion. Chests made from Cedarwood have been used for centuries to store valuable items as the wood is a natural insect repellent.
Because of its calming properties, it can be used as a tonic for those experiencing stressful situations. It blends beautifully with other stress reducing oils such as Lavender and Bergamot.
How to Incorporate Cedarwood into Your Daily Routine
Cedarwood esential oil is a must have in our our aromatherapy toolkit! It can be used to calm and relax nervous feelings, support the immune system, and give us strength and keep us connected and grounded to the energy of Mother Earth. We love the notes it adds to our Autumn Oil Blend, Illuminate Bath Soak, Lemurian Light Mist & Oil Blend, and our grounding oil Rooted.

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!
Check out our Eclipse Manifestation Spray, thoughtfully blended with charged spring water, a Lemurian crystal, and essential oils that will bring peace and transformation into your spirit.
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.
Peppermint: The invigorating scent of peppermint oil can help boost energy levels and promote alertness. Use Peppermint to combat mental fatigue and sharpen your creative mind. It blends well with Sweet Orange essential oil, another uplifting oil.
Citrus oils: Lemon, Lime, Grapefruit, and Sweet Orange are perfect to brighten up your space with their uplifting aroma. Because of their familiar and refreshing scent, these oils work well with children. Enjoy their boost of positivity in their study or play space. These oils are phototoxic, so use caution when applying directly to the skin if you'll be exposed to the sun or UV rays.
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.
Next time you're feeling unfocused or distracted, reach for one of these essential oils to help sharpen your mind and boost your productivity!
Prehnite is known for its natural beauty and its ability to enhance inner knowledge and spiritual growth.
