Apophyllite Pyramid

We attended the Scarborough Gem and Mineral Show on the weekend. I've always had a love of rocks from the time I was a little one skimming them across the bay in my Grandparents back yard in NFLD. 

The show did not disappoint. So much to examine! I purchased this crystal known as an Apophyllite Pyramid from India. Love the blues and greens! Apophyllite's can help to increase intuition and insight about current situations.

It also promotes structure and organization in daily life. How about this the crystal can regulate bodily function and improve memory. They are great for filling a room with high vibrations of peace and love!!!!

I will place my crystal in my studio on my desk and see what happens!

Let me know what your favorite rock, stone crystal is. Post a photo, make a comment and you will be entered to win a class with the lovely Kate Richbourg.

Flirt's previous post referred to Bijoux, Bijoux, Fall 2015: Jewellery Report.
Designers today command control of the reins and direction they choose to take with their designs.
We don't have to fall in to the category of a Stringer, Metalsmith, Glass blower, Wire Worker, Seedbeeder etc.
In fact we are encouraged to explore the many designs, shapes and materials available.
Here's what stood out for me in the Bijoux article;

"The Choker Hold"

The chokers hitting the catwalks eschewed any association with delicacy.
These necklaces are linear and strong, statement makers of the paired down variety. 

Here's a Flirt designed necklace called Horsebit.
Bold, pure, unassuming.
Composed of Ebony wood and stainless steel chain with a Gucci inspired clasp.

Large freshwater pearls & black square hand made borosilicate beads.
