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 Merlinite slice is approx. 3.5 cm (1.4") tall and the long beige tone necklace braids are left open so you can choose to wear this as short or long as you wish. The ends of the braids are adorned with small Gold Rutile Quartz crystals.

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

MERLINITE
Stone of spiritual development, assisting in accessing multiple realms including akashic records. Softens one's emotional guards in aid of making deeper connections with out fellow humans, remaining open regardless of past experiences. Supports the journey to achieving one’s personal goals. Helps with integrating one's shadow self as well as attracting spiritual guides.

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.)
