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 Quartz point is approx. 4 cm (1.8") tall and the length of the long satin cord braid can be adjusted through a knotted channel so you can wear this as short or long as you wish. The crystals at the ends of the necklace braid are Black Tourmaline, to match the rutile inclusion inside this crystal point.

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.

ENERGY PROPERTIES

QUARTZ
The universal master crystal that has a harmonising effect on all levels of being. Programmable by intention, so can be used for versatile purposes. Quartz can clear, enhance, amplify, transmute, balance, focus and transmit energy. Raises one's energetic vibration. Brings clarity and filters out distractions. A deep soul cleanser, attuning its keeper to their higher self. Each Quartz crystal is unique with its own character and teachings it offers, all are known as “Stones of Power” and “Master Healers”.

BLACK TOURMALINE (aka Schorl)
One of the most well-known protective stones, shielding its user from negativity. A shamanic stone used for grounding during vision quests. Empowering for those who work in challenging environments. Purifies and transforms denser energies into lighter vibrations and is also detoxifying for the body. If you're sensitive to electromagnetic smog, you may get relief by wearing black Tourmaline.

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.)
