I was searching for a nice vintage necklace last week on etsy and came across a silver necklace from the 1970's with a beautiful malachite stone in the center. This piece (more likely the stone) *sang* to me. So i bought it, and even though i live with a naturally grumpy guy, we are in the process of moving, and so emtions are high and tense. As soon as i recieved the necklace in the mail, i could feel its calming protective energy eash over me. I felt grounded. Its helping easy this transitional period for me. I program it every day, i thank it and let it rest every night with my other crystals. Its amazing how this stone came to me when i really needed it.
ReplyDeleteCrystalChick I have a beautiful malachite pendant that I intend to wear everyday. Would you recommend that I take it off before showers and at nights or is it safe to wear it 24/7 which is usually how I prefer to wear jewels..
