-----------------------

At its heart, the Vera Cruz Amethyst stands.Enveloped in a dedicated sheet of silver

on the band Ethiopian Opal and the introspective Blue Moonstone. The Ethiopian Opal, faceted in an eye-catching shape, emanates a passionate energy with its vivid play-of-color, akin to lightning in a tempestuous sky, representing inspiration and creativity. On the opposing side, the Blue Moonstone, in its serene shimmer, invites moments of reflection and clarity, mirroring the tranquility of a moonlit night.

These three gemstones, each with its distinct energy, are harmoniously integrated within an oxidized, hammer-finished sterling silver setting, signifying the balance of emotion and thought, of terrestrial might and celestial wonder. The pendant, suspended from a 16-18 inch adjustable sterling silver hoop chain attached on either side of the silver coil, ensures a comfortable fit secured with a lobster claw closure. For those inclined towards a brighter sheen, the oxidant can be polished away to reveal the luminous silver underneath.

Double Terminated Vera Cruz Amethyst

Classification: Silicate mineral
Chemical Composition: SiO2
Hardness: 7 on the Mohs scale
Source: Vera Cruz, Mexico

Symbolic Meanings:

Spiritual Growth
Meditation Enhancement
Divine Connection
Higher Consciousness
Associations:

Element: Wind
Planet: Jupiter
Zodiac Signs: Pisces, Virgo, Aquarius, Capricorn
Chakra: Third Eye and Crown Chakras

Geological Properties:
Vera Cruz Amethyst, specifically sourced from Vera Cruz in Mexico, is recognized for its distinctively pale lavender to deep purple hues. Being double terminated means the crystal has natural points at both its ends. This structure facilitates the movement of energy in both directions, making it a powerful tool for energy work and healing.

Spiritual and Emotional Significance:
The Vera Cruz Amethyst is often associated with the facilitation of deeper meditation states. Its energy is believed to be gentler than other amethyst varieties, promoting a serene spiritual environment. Double Terminated Vera Cruz Amethysts are especially valued for their ability to connect and circulate energy between chakras, aligning and harmonizing one's energy centers. These stones are considered ideal for establishing a connection with divine or higher entities.

Collectibility and Use:
The soft lavender hue combined with the unique energy properties of Vera Cruz Amethyst makes it highly sought after by both collectors and practitioners of metaphysical healing. Its double-terminated form amplifies its attributes, making it perfect for meditative practices, energy grid setups, or simply as a beautiful collector's item.

Note: While Amethyst is quite hard and durable, it's still vital to handle it with care to prevent any damage or scratches. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause the color of amethyst to fade.

Ethiopian Opal

Classification: Organic, Silica
Chemical Composition: SiO2·nH2O
Hardness: 5.5–6.5 on the Mohs scale
Source: Ethiopia (specifically the Wollo Province)

Symbolic Meanings:

Transformation
Creativity
Emotional clarity
Psychic intuition
Associations:

Element: Water
Planet: Mercury
Zodiac Signs: Cancer, Libra, Pisces, Scorpio
Chakra: Depends on color, but primarily associated with the Crown Chakra

Geological Properties:
Ethiopian Opal, often referred to as Welo Opal due to its origin, is a hydrophane opal, meaning it has the ability to absorb water. This can temporarily change the color or transparency of the stone. It is relatively new to the gemstone market but has rapidly gained popularity due to its broad spectrum of vibrant colors and patterns, often with brilliant play-of-color.

Spiritual and Emotional Significance:
Ethiopian Opals are believed to enhance cosmic consciousness and stimulate flashes of intuition and insight. They are considered "emotional amplifiers" that reflect the feelings of those who wear them. These stones can help facilitate personal transformation and are ideal for meditation and enhancing one's psychic abilities. Their vibrant play of color can also inspire creativity and spark a playful, whimsical nature in those drawn to them.

Collectibility and Use:
Because of their captivating colors and patterns, Ethiopian Opals are highly sought after for jewelry pieces, especially rings, earrings, and pendants. They are often cut into cabochons to best display their play of color. Due to their ability to absorb water, care should be taken not to immerse Ethiopian Opals in liquids, and they should be protected from rapid changes in temperature.

Note: Ethiopian Opals can be more fragile compared to other types of opals. Their absorbent nature requires special care. It's advisable to avoid oils, chemicals, and prolonged exposure to water. If they become dehydrated, they may crack, so storing them in a moist environment can be beneficial.

Blue Moonstone
Classification: Feldspar
Chemical Composition: KAlSi₃O₈
Hardness: 6–6.5 on the Mohs scale
Source: Sri Lanka, India, Madagascar, Brazil, Australia, and other locations worldwide.

Symbolic Meanings:

Intuition
Insight
Dreams
Feminine energy
Associations:

Element: Water
Planet: Moon
Zodiac Signs: Cancer, Libra, Scorpio
Chakra: Third Eye and Crown Chakra
Geological Properties:
Blue Moonstone, also known as "Rainbow Moonstone" when it displays a prismatic play of colors, belongs to the feldspar group. What gives the stone its unique adularescence (shimmery light effect) is the intergrowth of two different types of feldspar with different refractive indexes. The blue sheen is particularly coveted among moonstones, making it especially valuable.

Spiritual and Emotional Significance:
Blue Moonstone is often associated with the moon and its phases, making it a stone of intuition, insight, and dreams. It is believed to enhance psychic abilities and to develop clairvoyance. On an emotional level, it can help calm responses and avoid overreactions, offering soothing and balancing energies. It's also closely associated with feminine energies and is often used to enhance fertility and harmonize the menstrual cycle.

Collectibility and Use:
Because of its enchanting play of light and its spiritual significance, Blue Moonstone is widely used in jewelry. Its translucent and sometimes transparent qualities, combined with the blue sheen, make it particularly popular in rings, earrings, and pendants. When setting in jewelry, it's often cut as a cabochon to best showcase its adularescence.

Note: Moonstones, including the blue variety, are relatively soft compared to other gemstones, making them susceptible to scratches. Care should be taken to store them separately from other harder gemstones and to avoid rough handling.
