'Crystal kintsugi' healing amulet with Smokey Citrine point
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 Smokey Citrine point is approx. 5.5 cm (2.2") 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. The highlighting crystals are Almandine Garnet.
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
CITRINE
Affects a powerful alignment with the higher self. Balances the emotions and helps in uplifting one's mood to be more sunny and cheerful. Brings clarity of thought, and attracts abundance and prosperity through joy. Powerful transformer in healing work. Increases self-confidence and optimism, cleanses the surrounding energies and promotes creative thinking. Releases, dissipates and transforms denser energies on all levels, mental, emotional and physical. Works to release limitations and blockages particularly around the sacral / solar plexus area.
ALMANDINE GARNET
Stimulates one's life force. Opens the root chakra while drawing earth energy into the body, helping you to feel secure and centred. Awakens the "inner fire" of creativity. Highly protective stone and a great companion to keep you energised. Excellent good fortune and 'success' stone in both social and career ventures, adding positive vibes both in your personal or business life. Stone of purification and cleansing. Symbolises passionate, devoted love.
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.)
