Lemon Jade

Lemon Jade is actually not jade at all, but a pale yellow form of serpentine, which is often used in ornamental sculpture as it is easily carved. Serpentine is said to dispel fear, balance mood swings, and helps to restore strength to a fragile self-confidence.

Used in ancient times to guard its wearer against sorcery and disease, Serpentine is also an exceptional meditation stone, helping its wearer to focus the mind and find peace.

Peach Aventurine

Aventurine, a form of quartz, is found in shades of blue, green, peach and red-brown, and is characterised by the inclusions of mica or haematite, which give the stone its distinctive sparkle.

Known as the stone of opportunity, Aventurine was traditionally used as a luck talisman. Said to attract abundance and wealth, the stone is also believed to reinforce decision-making capabilities and enhance the leadership potential of its wearer. Crystal healers claim that Aventurine is the best all-round healing stone, while the peach variety in particular is said to bring joy into the life of its wearer and to enhance creativity and originality.

Citrine

Citrine is one of the rarest natural forms of quartz, though it can be produced quite easily by heat-treating Amethyst or Smoky Quartz to generate its characteristic lemon yellow to dark gold colour. Once known as the 'Merchant's Stone', Citrine was often kept in money boxes as it was said to attract wealth and abundance.

An energetic, invigorating stone, Citrine is said to be one of the few stones that never retains negative energy, and is considered excellent for improving self-esteem and bolstering personal power. In ancient times, this stone was carried as a protection against any evil thoughts that might be directed against its wearer.

Freshwater Pearl

When a single, rough grain of sand irritates an oyster, it is gradually transformed into a beautiful pearl. So too this gem reminds its wearer to transform the irritations of life, to seek serenity and to walk with dignity.

Long ago it was believed that pearls were moonbeams which fell into the ocean and were swallowed by oysters. In the East, pearls symbolise prosperity and long life, while in the West, they are said to represent innocence and a pure heart, instilling a sense of calm self-acceptance, while stimulating feminine integrity.
