SPINEL AND VESUVIANITE--METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Kristi's Notes--Wow! what a strong piece this Vesuvianite/Spinel is! And it also has two distinctive energies merged into one powerful one! I had to laugh, I was shown a scene from Lord of the Rings which is the perfect description for this piece.

So, allow me to introduce:

Vesuvianite/Spinel

This is a very wise, old soul. An ancient teacher, a holder of light and knowledge. Vesuvianite/Spinel forges a connection with the holder immediately. The physical self with the soul self.

This is a piece specifically to be utilized for learning.

The Vesuvianite forms a rock solid base (no pun intended) from which to grow. Layer after sturdy layer represents our experiences and the lessons learned and growth inspired. It is solid and strong. This is the past.

Sitting atop this sturdy foundation is an array of crystal growth--sparkles of joy and gratitude, love and caring, lessons yet to be learned and experiences yet to be completed. This is the present.

The first lesson shared by this wisdom keeper is the lesson of choice. It is a universal law, really. Choice is free will after all. Even when you say, "I did not have a choice!" you really did. It may not make you happy, but it IS a choice, you see? That, in itself, is part of the lesson. Do you understand?"

The second lesson is acceptance of change. Without change, there is no growth. Change adds to the beauty and intricacy of life. Just as the beautiful green crystals of this piece merge effortlessly into the root beer/dark honey crystals. Do you think the crystals went kicking and screaming into their change/merge/transition? Of course not! It is a part of the natural flow of things.

Vesuvianite with Spinel can help you to make the transition of change, be it in the physical or moving to the next stages after, a smooth one.

"As above, so below and so it is..."

This crystal combination also connects directly to Mother Earth/nature energy on a very deep level of understanding. "Mother Earth" is not just a hippy dippy catch phrase, she is a living, breathing entity of unlimited wisdom and shared knowledge.

Vesuvianite/Spinel carries a very specific "call to action" energy. The time for complaining and talking about action is over. It is now time to stand and rise up!

What I am shown is a scene from Lord of the Rings, Return of the King. There is a speech that Aragorn gives at the black gate before man meets evil. "A day may come when the courage of Men fails, when we forsake our friends, and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the Age of Men comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight!"

Sure, there may be fear and uncertainty, but when is there not? Vesuvianite with Spinel is a stone of strength and courage, integrity and steadfastness. I truly feel this is a double heart stone--the epitome of "the heart of a warrior".

Vesuvianite/Spinel is a stone of passion and imagination, of ideas and follow through, of the steps needed to bring the idea to completion.

Vesuvianite/Spinel is not a gentle stone. No rainbows, unicorns and lollipops here. Oh no. It is a working piece. a "let's make a plan and get to work!" piece.

It is all about the action. It will fill you with motivation and excitement, intensity and stamina so that you can see it through to the end.

In a word? Vesuvianite/Spinel is fierce! And who could not use a little fierce? *wink*From MetaphysicalRealm1.com - Spinel comes in many colors, but the red to purple is probably the most common. Spinel renews your energy. It helps rejuvinate you; helping you look and feel younger, from the inside out. It is called the "Crystal of Immortality". Spinel can help you keep at a difficult task, helping to insure your completion.

Idocrase/Vesuvianite encourages cooperation with others. This crystal has a wonderful stabilizing effect on our brains, helping us to truly get rid of negative thought patterns. It helps us see what is needed to help us further up the stairs of spiritual development and gets us closer to our Higher Self. It works on fear which is the basis of all negativity and also helps to get rid of anger and/or depression.

Vibration (Vesuvianite/Spinel): 6
Astrological Sign: Unknown

WEARING CRYSTALS vs. WORKING WITH THEM IN OTHER WAYS

Crystals are a very large part of my life, and I am lucky enough to be surrounded by crystals! When a crystal is touching you all of the time, you are getting the energy of the crystal constantly. I wear several pendants, so I literally wear my medicine bag around my neck. I think this is the very best use of a crystal! Healing crystals do not do you a lot of good if they are sitting on a shelf. You should be touching them as much as possible! Working with them by holding them in your hand or placing them on your body is good, too, as is holding a crystal during meditation.

When my life is about to change, I usually know it is coming, because I feel a very strong need to change my pendants. When I no longer need to wear a pendant or other piece of jewelry, they sometimes literally fall off my body. Over the years, I have worn many different combinations of crystals, and I have enjoyed them all. I seem to wear at least six pendants, but it has been as many as twelve at times. Jewelry is an excellent way to work with your crystals!

Prices are subject to change without notice. I do my best to accurately describe all of the crystals I list for sale and to describe any "flaws", but I am imperfect in all things!
