DESCRIPTION

'Crystal kintsugi' ~ sometimes a damaged crystal still has so much life and energy within that I just cannot discard it. Like us people, no need for past knocks and bruises to define our capabilities. Often the wounded healers have deep wisdom to share. This crystal spirit is now paired with genuine 24 carat gold to celebrate its beauty and to remind you of yours. 

KINTSUGI (‘golden joinery’) also known as Kintsukuroi (‘golden repair’) is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise. Kintsugi can be seen to have similarities to the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, an embracing of the flawed or imperfect.

The Aquamarine is approx. 4 cm (1.6") tall and the long braid length can be adjusted through a knotted channel so you can wear this as short or long as you wish.

You'll receive this crystal healing necklace in one of Spirit Carrier's handmade fabric draw-string pouches - great for the safe-keeping of the necklace. Gift-wrapped at no extra charge.

CRYSTAL PROPERTIES

AQUAMARINE
Connected with the throat chakra, easing verbal self-expression. Helps you communicate your own truth and find your voice. Helps in looking at emotional situations from other perspectives, assists in opening up intuition and to calmly be in the flow of life. Aquamarine also aids in reaching deep meditative states. Resonates with the energy of the ocean. Stone of courage and protection.

GOLD
Symbol of eternity and spiritual purification. Associated with the Sun and its life giving shine. Pure 24 carat gold that is not alloyed with other metals strengthens the energy of crystals that it is combined with and has a healing effect on their energy. (Other metals combined with pure soft 24 carat gold for hardening purposes change its energy and vibration, thus lessening its effectiveness.)
