Kunzite Bangle!

A super short story...

A client called me on my mobile. After a few minutes of talking, I put the phone down and started on sketching on what the client wanted. It had to be light, cool colors and easy to wear. Had to have rough kunzite as the main star of the bangle. It was tough and I had to make 3 drawings before I emailed it for approval.

Here's the tricky part, after all the designs I made, my client said, "It's up to you."

I went ahead and discussed the design to our worker. After 4 weeks, it was completed and goodness gracious, I loved it. Crossing my fingers that my client loves it too.

I texted him to tell him that it is done. Yes, folks, HIM. This man is extra-ordinarily sweet to his wife that he opted to have a bangle made specifically for his wife rather than just buying something ready from the store. Sigh....What a sweetheart.

This is what I AVT is now wearing. Happy Anniversary!!!

The Mighty Kunzite!

What is Kunzite: It is the pink to light purple gem variety of the mineral Spodumene. Spodumene is a common mineral, but only in a few select localities does it occur in transparent gem form. One gem form is the pink kunzite, and another gem form is the green hiddenite. Kunzite is a very attractive pink gem, but is notorious for its habit of color fading in strong light. Some deep pink stones have turned nearly colorless from fading. Although the color-fading effect is not this drastic in most kunzite, it is still important not to expose kunzite gems to strong light (especially sunlight) for long periods. Kunzite is sometimes called "evening stone" for this reason. The color of some kunzite can be restored or intensified by irradiation.

Healing Properties: Kunzite is a powerful, high level stone. It is used against negative energy and empowers positive and loving thoughts. Most effective on the Heart Chakra , it opens the emotional heart and spiritual heart. It represents unconditional lovingness and compassion. Used for healing abuse/loss/addictions. Helps emotional balance, confidence, connection to higher self and oneness. Kunzite is also used on the Brow and Crown Chakra for the reason that it deepens altered states: psychic readings, healing...being centered emotionally and spiritually. Strengthens healers and teachers.

Folk Remedies: This crystal is recommended for reducing depression, mood swings, stress, radiation. Used extensively by the medical profession for psychiatric disorders. Good for the circulatory system and the lungs. A soothing stone that can help you adjust to the pressures of modern life.

Feng Shui: Kunzite is used in the North for personal growth and journeys and in the Northeast direction for self-cultivation and for removing obstacles.
