Beautiful Gifts for Mother’s Day and Graduation – Jewelry designed by Go Jolly

It’s been at least 15+ years since Sedona has been the exclusive retailer of Go Jolly jewelry in Hawaii.  Malia looks forward to meeting up with Bob and Debbie in Tucson every year so she can see their entire line of Power Stone jewelry, handcrafted Sterling Silver Filigree pieces and admire the gorgeous one of a kind pieces from their Gold Line.  Bob and Debbie love stones and crystals as much as we at Sedona do so we share that strong bond together. They are a truly huggable pair of organic farmers/jewelry designers based in a wooded lush valley in Oregon with their workshop overlooking a creek.  Malia feels so grateful that Sedona is able to carry many of their wonderful pieces in the store and to count them as one of her bffs.  When not on the jewelry bench polishing and soldering, they are outdoors picking their organic blueberries and planting veggies.  Each Go Jolly jewelry piece is made with loving care using unique and rare stones from their gemstone selection they have been collecting for over 30 years.  Malia has to reserve “bench time” every year so that Bob and Debbie can design one of a kind custom pieces for Sedona.  They are never factory made which makes each jewelry piece a very special gift for your mom, wife, daughter or soon to be graduate. Mother’s Day is May 12th so make sure to come down and pick out mom’s favorite piece of jewelry for her special day.

***You may click on any of the photographs to take a closer look at the piece and a deeper description on the stone.

The “AAA” Sunstone sparkles like the sun to bring out your sunny disposition and charisma. The two rainbow hued Ammolite pendants protects you from negativity while creating a smooth flow of energy around you.

The light blue Aquamarine is a very angelic yet protective stone especially while traveling over water. The apple green Chrysoprase promotes happiness and joy while attracting friendships that will last a lifetime. Pink Tourmaline also attracts both friendship and love into your life, while healing emotional traumas from your past.

Rare Cobalite, also known as Cobalto Calcite, has a beautiful druzy quality to the stone that can uplift your energy on a tiring and intense day. The Hokkaido Rhodochrosite is a real treasure from Japan which attracts love and can bring about a positive and enthusiastic attitude. The moon-like Metamorphosis Quartz is a highly sought after stone for initiating change into your life and supporting you in that transition.

The Herkimer Diamond from New York  promote creativity, lucid dreaming and clarity.  It also helps to energize your other stones. The Epidote in Quartz is not a stone we get in often. It is a stone which helps one to be less critical of themselves and to participate in more daily activities. Ruby is among the favorites in the gem world and to find  natural red Ruby at a reasonable price is getting more difficult to do. Ruby strengthens personal power and inspires spiritual wisdom and knowledge.

Wire Wrapping takes great technique to master beautifully and Go Jolly has clearly given loving care in wrapping these natural Green Tourmaline and Pink Tourmaline specimens.
The Green Tourmaline is attracts prosperity and abundance while the Pink Tourmaline promotes friendship and happiness. The Watermelon Tourmaline is the best of both worlds. It is a stone that is Pink Tourmaline surrounded by Green Tourmaline and helps to manifest both loving relationships and abundant prosperity.

Each of these three beautiful pendants has an angel etched in the center to remind you  that your guardian angel is always nearby.
The Aqua Aura Quartz and Sunset Aura Quartz are healing stones which can stimulate your body’s own healing energies while activating your chakras (energy centers). The gem’s edges are faceted to bring out more sparkle and light within the stone. The Rose Quartz with Sunstone and Amethyst is a unique combination of stones. The Rose Quartz encourages self-love and the ability to love others. It also helps to bring out inner-beauty and supports you in healing emotional pain. The Sunstone brings out confidence and courage to let your true selves shine. The Amethyst is relaxing and  soothes your worried mind.

Rhodochrosite with raspberry color and white banding calms emotions with unconditional love. The oval Smokey Quartz stone with carved Kuan Yin is both grounding and protective. Kuan Yin is the Goddess of Compassion and is also a protector of children. This half moon Watermelon Tourmaline slice looks delicious with its unique design setting.

Sedona’s Spring Gem and Jewelry Show

The Sedona Gem Show will be held at the store on:
March 22nd, Friday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
March 23rd, Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
March 24th, Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

A portion of the proceeds from the Sedona Gem and Jewelry Show will be donated to The Hawaii Foodbank


Owner Malia Johnson and Washington State’s Deidre Berg have procured a fabulous shipment of new jewelry and high vibrational stone pieces direct from the major Tuscon Gem and Mineral Show. Deidre will also bring some spectacular museum quality Lawrence Stoller Russian Quartz pieces from a private collection.

The Sugilite (top left) are some of the most beautiful specimens that will be at our Show. The Sugilite mine in South Africa has closed recently so now is the time to add Sugilite to your collection as we do not know how much remains in the hands of dealers. Sugilite helps to reduce stress that is caused by illness, but its energies are also used to increase psychic awareness due to its deep violet hue. It is excellent for meditation and brings wisdom and balance. The raw piece is priced at $275 and the polished is $258. There will be a range of Sterling Silver Pendants set with Sugilite that will  range between $48 to $440 and the deep purple bead strand is priced at $1200. Tumbled pieces start from $28.

The Cobalite (Cobalto Calcite) pictured in the middle is a deep pink druzy mineral that is very nurturing, revitalizing and uplifting.  Cobalto Calcite also promotes unconditional love and forgiveness. It is a great stone for dealing with loneliness and grief. The large rough piece is priced at $340 and the smaller pieces are $58 each. The pretty Pink Sugilite necklace is dealer priced at $280.

Cornflower blue colored Tanzanite (left) is a highly sought after gemstone. Tanzanite facilitates communication between the heart and the mind so you are always balanced and one isn’t ruling the other. This coincides with helping to activate psychic awareness, as well as to manifest one’s goals. The beautiful rondelle necklace is specially priced at $398. The Daisy Ho Tanzanite rings and pendants are set in platinum over silver for that tarnish free luster. The many tumbled stone pieces we have are priced from $14 and up.

Deidre’s Crystal Workshop                                            “Changing Beliefs, Calming Emotions”

March 20th, Wednesday from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.

$10 Fee, Seats are limited. Call 808-591-8010 to reserve your seat now!

Deidre will be conducting a hands-on Crystal Workshop to show you how to use some special crystals to help calm your emotions and bring about a state of peace. She will lead a discussion about how to let go of your fears and illusions so that you can move forward with greater clarity. She will bring stones you can work with energetically to help you achieve inner peace and harmony. She will highlight at least 16 different stones with an emphasis and focus on Himalayan special quartz with green phantoms and rutiles, Himalayan pink quartz, Ajoite and Morganite.

The Morganite (left) is wonderful for rekindling love and passions and supporting your emotional healing. It is a very nurturing stone to assist  you through difficult times. The Morganite sphere is priced at $98, the large center piece is $250 and the hand-held pieces are priced starting at $28. We have beautiful pendants set in 18kt gold as well as a pendant set with ruby priced at $380.

The ocean-like translucent blue Ajoite wand (middle) is a loving and harmonious stone. It is very calming and helps to bring about a state of peace and tranquility.  This lingam shaped piece fits perfectly in the palm of your hand so that you can hold it close to your heart.  Ajoite is one of the rarest stones to find in larger sizes and is dealer priced at $480.

The Himalayan Green Phantom Quartz (right)  is one of the most peaceful and loving stones that Deidre has ever felt. The green phantoms inside are from chlorite mineral deposits which are very healing especially for the heart chakra. Some of the crystals also have rutiles. Deidre will bring many of these wonderful crystals and crystal clusters with prices starting from $22 with one spectacular specimen priced at $2,000.

Preview of what we will have at the Show– Amazing Ruby in Zoisite, Rutilated Quartz and Nuumite

There will be a nice selection of  beautiful Ruby in Zoisite (left). Ruby in Zoisite, also called Anyolite, is used to enhance creativity for individuals who want to fully express their own ideas and desires. It helps people by bringing their talents to the forefront and increasing the abilities of the mind to bring in wisdom. The Ruby within the stone is very spiritually grounding.  The large piece is priced at $1200 and the cute little heart resting upon it is just $38. We have many specimens priced from $30 to the unique Ruby in Zoisite pyramid which is $68.

The Rutilated Quartz (middle) is a very powerful healing and highly energetic stone. It can be used to direct energy flow within the body or to other crystals. The gold Rutiles stand out strikingly in the Quartz that hosts it. The beautiful large sphere is priced at $480 and the pendants and tumbled pieces are priced at $22 and up.

Nuumite (right) is the oldest mineral in the world from Greenland- formed over 3 billion years ago. It is an excellent energy source for healing protection and grounding.   It can quickly restore energy depleted from intense energy work. It helps with the flow of energy throughout ones body and deflects negativity. Look for the iridescence sprinkled throughout each piece. We have jewelry from bracelets to pendants starting at $48. The Nuumite Skull is $495, the Obelisk is $140 and the massage wand is $64. The larger rough pieces start at $295 and up.

Peridot (left) is always a favorite stone among the gem world especially for those born in August. It is known to bring in prosperity and long lasting friendships with the people that will be important to your life. It can also be used to attract wealth and new opportunities to your business. We will have a beautiful variety of Peridot jewelry and stones at our show.

A newer stone is the Preseli Bluestone (left), it gets its name from the Preseli Mountains in Pembrokeshire, Wales–the same stone the inner-ring of Stonehenge is made of. It is a stone of immense healing energy, and is very spiritually grounding. It enhances willpower, courage, strength and understanding. It promotes focus, clarity and emotional stability. The large raw piece is priced at $400 and the tumbled pieces are just $28.

 

Tucson Finds and Highlights from owner Malia

At Sedona, we have had some requests for some Native American made silver jewelry so we brought back beautiful earrings, bracelets, pendants and necklaces set with highly sought after Sleeping Beauty and Castle Dome Turquoise (mine is now closed). Turquoise is a stone used for protection against negativity and danger, especially during travel. This stone sustains health and speeds the healing process. It also brings joy, happiness and emotional balance, as well as beauty, generosity and courage. Pictured to the right are some of the gorgeous raspberry colored Rhodochrosite that is also Native American made.   Rhodochrosite inspires passion and confidence, as well as attracts love into your life. This stone also helps heal emotional distress with unconditional love.

We also brought back a large shipment of Native American made Dreamcatchers in a rainbow of colors and sizes.

Tucson Highlights:  

New Stones:  A new stone that we have never had before is called Auralite 23.  It is more than 1.2 billion years old. It is suggested that meteoric strikes in the Boreal Forest region in Canada contributed to some of the rare metallic ores that are infused in Auralite 23. It is primarily Amethyst in structure and typically comprises of 17 – 23 different stones and minerals such as Titanite, Cacoxenite, Lepidocrosite, Ajoite, Hematite, Magnetite, Pyrite, Goethite, Pyrolusite, Gold, Silver, Platinum, Nickel,  Copper, Iron, Limonite, Sphalerite, Covellite, Chalcopyrite, Gialite, Epidote, Bornite and  Rutile. Auralite 23 is an excellent stone for purification and cleansing of energy, helping to remove blockages and negativity. It can also help one to understand one’s life destiny and true spiritual purpose and strengthens one’s connection with Spirit Guides and Guardian Spirits. We have some beautiful beaded bracelets and also some polished slices in Auralite 23.

Many special requests:  We had many, many requests for Super Seven (left) set in jewelry.  It is a rare stone so we have to search high and low in Tucson to bring you back a nice selection in Beaded Bracelets, Earrings, Lockets and Pendants. Super Seven is a very high vibration stone because it contains a combination of seven different minerals including Amethyst, Cacoxenite, Quartz, Goethite, Lepidocrocite, Rutile and Smokey Quartz. It is used for cleansing and re-energizing of other stones, and is excellent for healing, balancing and energizing the body, mind and spirit. It can also be used for increasing spiritual and psychic abilities.

One of a kind museum specimen:  Must see this translucent cornucopia shaped Apophyllite specimen. It looks like a crystal geode but up close you can see it has hundreds of small clear Apophyllite pyramids covering the whole specimen. The dealer/miner said they have only had 3 of these pieces in all the years that they have been selling Apophyllite and the one that Malia bought was the largest! You can cleanse and charge your jewelry inside this museum quality geode.

New Tumbled Stones:  Kimberlite, Vatican stone, stones from the Cave of Humanity, Vivianite, blue Sapphire and lots of very high grade tumbled stones.

Special Finds:  Cinnabar slices, Sardonyx spheres, one Larimar lingam, super optically clear mini quartz spheres priced under $20, Celestite from Ohio, Obsidian Scrying mirrors, Zincite specimens, large Garnet spheres, Madagascar Raspberry Rose Quartz, museum grade Moldavite, Ajoite, titanium amethyst clusters, cotton candy Pink Calcite chunks from Mongolia, Australian Kunzite and Herkimer in matrix specimen.

Super AAA High Grade: Brought back some AAA grade beaded bracelets in brilliant violet Sugilite mixed with blue Richterite, deep gemmy purple Amethyst, ocean turquoise Larimar and only 2 in Super Seven.

 Heaven and Earth Stones:  Healerite tm, Guardianite tm, Azeztulite tm -in Himalayan Gold and White, Rosophia tm, Purple Angeline tm and Azozeo charged Azeztulite tm and Auralite 23 beads. For a number of these items, we brought back some small spheres for the collector who wants to add a new stone to their collection.

Pendulums: We brought back hundreds of new pendulums in: Aquamarine, Rhodochrosite, Larimar, Nuumite, Black Tourmaline and Herkimer just to name a few stones. We also brought in Stainless Steel Chamber Pendulums.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR
OF THE WATER SNAKE
FEBRUARY 10, 2013

 

February 4, 2013 is first day of Spring and the Chinese New Year of the Water Snake begins on February 10, 2013. It is best to complete the cleaning of your home, the cleansing and placing of your reusable Feng Shui remedies by the end of January. Now is the time to replace your older Feng Shui remedies if they look worn, faded or damaged. If your Flying Star luck is not favorable this year; Feng Shui Masters recommend that you purchase some new Feng Shui remedies for stronger protection. To refresh your Feng Shui items you should clean and polish them and then cleanse them with sage or incense before placing them in the new sector.

The energies for 2013 are extremely strong because the zodiac signs fly back to their original sector with the same element so the energies are compounded. In 2013 the heavenly element is Yin Water and the Earthly Element is Yang Fire.  These 2 elements create a yin and yang affect so they are more balanced than last 2 years where the water element was weak. 2013 should be a more peaceful year and the economy should see growth.

 

Most of the Sedona staff members have had a chance to have some in-store training with Master Wu regarding the upcoming Feng Shui energies for 2013.  One of our staff members, Lee-Ann (pictured) has had additional training from Master Wu.  She along with our other staff members are available to help you find what you may need to enhance your Feng Shui luck for 2013.

 **Click on any of the photos below to read more about the products on our website.  All of the products pictured are available for purchase online!

If you want to better understand the Flying Star Energies for 2013 we highly recommend Master Wu’s book “Year of the Snake 2013 Secret of Heaven and Earth.” Master Michael Wu is a certified Feng Shui Master based locally here in Honolulu, Hawaii. To help you select lucky days and times for important events we recommend Lillian Too’s 2013 Feng Shui Almanac.  These two books can help you to better understand how the Flying Stars will affect you and your family this year.

The following information is a condensed outline of Flying Star Energies for all Zodiac signs in 2013 used with permission from Master Wu’s book. Please come to the store and see the 2 Feng Shui Charts that Master Wu has made for us.  One shows how to use the remedies in your home and the other chart is for your personal remedies and cures. You don’t have to go all over the island to find your Feng Shui items. To make it easier for you, we stock almost all of the remedies and cures that Master Wu recommends in his book.

For All Zodiac signs in 2013:

 

Every year the Tai Sui energy moves to the sector with the same zodiac sign for the year.  In 2013, the Tai Sui is in the area of the Snake or the Southeast Sector in the Flying Star Chart.  Clean your old Pi Chu/Pi Yao (celestial protector from heaven) or purchase a new Pi Chu/Pi Yao then place it high up facing the door in the SE Sector of your home to ease the (Tai Sui) for this year. This year there is a no renovation, no digging or loud banging rule in the entire Eastern quadrant of your home (3 Killings and Tai Sui) and also in the Northwest quadrant (facing Tai Sui) of your home.

To deflect the energy from Illness Star #2 display a large Metal Hu Lu, Golden Kuan Yin or Brass Bell in the SW sector of your bedroom or living room.

This is for all Zodiac Signs this year: Display 5 Element Pagoda and brass bell or singing bowl/handbell in the Center of your home to ease the energy of the Misfortune Star #5 which can cause accidents, loss and mishaps.

The following information shows your personal remedies and cures you should carry with you this year listed by the Zodiac signs.

For added luck, everyone should carry a Jade Charm with 3 Zodiac Animals of  your Secret Friend and 2 Allies. Come in and see our handy chart that shows who your Secret Friend and Allies are.

According to Shanta Gabriel, “There are two auspicious dates in December when a paradigm shift in consciousness is entirely possible. December 12 ~ 12:12:12 and the Solstice Portal on December 21, 2012. The full spectrum of energies surrounding both these dates have set into motion gatherings all over the world.”

Join Shanta Gabriel for two teleconference gatherings to welcome and receive the transmissions from the empowered energies that begin on 12:12:12. Together we will activate the Light Body Codes that will be able to hold the wave of Divine Love that culminates in our call on the December Solstice, 12/21/2012 from Mt. Shasta, one of the 7 most sacred mountains on Earth. Science has proven in what has been called the Maharishi Effect that it takes only 7000 dedicated souls holding Peace and Divine Love within their beings to change the consciousness of all 7 billion people on Earth.  We will be receiving and anchoring what has been called the highest frequency of Divine Love received on the Earth in 26,000 years.

The fishhook or “Hei-Matau” is a symbol of prosperity, abundance, strength, power, authority and protection while traveling over water.

Black Jade is used more for protection and purifying your chakras. It is used as an energy shield against negative energies, while relieving anger and aggression.

These Madagascar Labradorite pendants are hand-carved by skilled artisans in China and exhibit beautiful gradation of colors from gold to green to teal blue. These Grade AAA gem quality Labradorite pieces have a blend of three distinct colors radiating from different angles in the light.

Labradorite Properties:

Labradorite is a mystical and highly protective stone and is often called a stone of transformation. It can be used to enhance intuition and psychic abilities. It is often worn for banishing fears and for protection against negative energy. Labradorite calms an overactive mind which can lead to a reduction in stress and anxiety. It can be a good stone to have with you during times of change to strengthen perseverance and understanding. Finally, it is a good stone to restore forgotten memories while enhancing imagination and creativity to inspire new ideas.

Labradorite/Spectrolite Facts:

Labradorite was first found in 1770 in Labrador Peninsula located in eastern Canada. Today, it can also be found in Italy, Greenland, Finland, Madagascar, Russia and Scandinavia. Labradorite is in the feldspar family and is closely related to Moonstone. This stone gives off what is called the “Schiller” Effect, which is a rich display of several different colors. According to the Smithsonian Rock and Gem book, “The schiller effect is caused by the scattering of light from thin layers of a second feldspar that develops through internal chemical separation during the cooling of what was originally a single feldspar.”

 COVELLITE

These Covellite pieces have many radiant colors from indigo blue, violet purple, and pyrite gold. Any purplish color in the Covellite is extremely rare find which makes our specimen pictured here a definite collector’s item. It’s almost as if you’re looking into the night sky on the surface but look deeper and you can see a gradation of colors that resembles deep space and beyond. You can gaze into this stone for hours and still be mesmerized by its attractive qualities.

The Covellite specimen and pendant shown here are from the Leonard Copper Mine in Butte, Montana that was closed in the ’70′s. This material is rare and hard to find  and is prized by collectors around the world. The Covellite from Montana is by far the best for making cabochons than any ever found. Covellite was the first known natural superconductor. According to The Crystal Bible 2 by Judy Hall, Covellite protects the body against radiation and facilitates energy moving through cells. It can help detoxify and remove stagnant energy from the body. It strengthens the creative mind and enhances communication and writing skills.  It is used to stimulates vision and psychic abilities. Wearing this stone can raise self awareness through loving and appreciating oneself. Covellite helps you in healing and releasing past traumas. Ever had a dream that you want to make reality? Well Covellite is definitely the stone for you. This stone helps to transform dreams into concrete reality, making you face what is real and possible.

AMMOLITES/AMMONITES

 Ammolite is the name of Ammonite when it has the gem quality rare and bright layering of colors in its shell which is set into jewelry.  It is very rare and is highly prized by both Feng Shui practitioners as well as by jewelers.  Ammolites are typically found with the colors of  orange, red, yellow, green and purple. Ammolite is typically found in Canada, Morroco and Madagascar. We carry many sizes of Ammonites in the store from tiny quarter size fossils to plate size ammonite pairs from Madagascar. The featured Ammolite pendant/earring set and Ammolite slab pictured here are from Canada.

Ammolite is a great stone for protection and changing negativity into a positive smooth flowing energy, hence the spiral shape of this ancient creature. It’s also good for stability to your life, provides ease of relaxation and alleviates depression. Feng Shui Masters call Ammolite the Seven Color Prosperity Stone. Because of it’s brilliance and rainbow hue of colors, it helps to stimulate the flow of chi or life force energy. Feng Shui Masters often suggest that you keep an Ammonite in your home to bring good fortune, health and vitality and place them in your business to promote success. In choosing Ammolite by its colors; red represents energy and growth, orange for creativity, green for wisdom, yellow for wealth and blue for peace and health.

A Brief Ammolite History:

Ammolite, which is rarer than diamond, is the fossilized remains of a squid-like animal. Ammonites were cephalopods (predatory marine mollusks), similar to the modern squid, octopus and chambered nautilus that lived in the world’s oceans over 65 million years ago. They existed for nearly 300 million years during the Paleozoic era to the Cretaceous era. Ammonites were able to swim due to the unique construction of their shell, which was divided into a series of air chambers. It is believed that the chambers provided buoyancy for the animal to float, which enabled it to propel itself through the water by using jet propulsion.

Allen Behling Jewelry

Green Tourmaline with Spinel and Herkimer Diamond

Moldavite with Phenacite, Green Tourmaline and Herkimer Diamond

Watermelon Tourmaline with Herkimer Diamond and Spinel

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Intuitive jewelry designer Allen Behling uses Argentium Sterling Silver (which is highly tarnish resistant) to wrap rare high vibrational stones to make one of a kind power pendants.  The artist says that he creates his jewelry by keeping in mind how the stones themselves would like to be wrapped and which stones work together energetically.

The Green Tourmaline with Herkimer Diamond and Spinel pendant brings in energies of prosperity, happiness, psychic abilities, and positive energies. It is a highly prosperous pendant because of the Green Tourmaline and Spinel, and the Herkimer Diamond which amplifies the energies of all the other stones.

The Moldavite with Phenacite, Green Tourmaline and Herkimer Diamond pendant is definitely a rare find. It contains green meteorite and Phenacite which are extremely rare and highly energetic crystals. Together they bring healing energies, purification, increased psychic abilities and insight. The Green Tourmaline welcomes prosperity and the Herkimer Diamond is associated with dream awareness.

A gemmy Watermelon Tourmaline slice as the center of attention paired with a rare Double Herkimer Diamond and deep red Spinels gives this one of a kind pendant a wow factor. This luminous pendant is designed to bring deep love, clarity and strength.

These one of a kind pendants can be viewed on our website. For further information on the energies of the different crystals click HERE!

 

A Family Fun Project

It’s a truly one of a kind gift from the heart.  You can make your own custom beaded bracelet for Mom or Grandma with the birthstones of her children and loved ones. Or, you can design a bracelet for the Graduate with the stones that will help them embark on the next phase of their life.

It’s a great family project that doesn’t take too long.  We’ll help you design the bracelet, you string it and we’ll put on the finishing touches such as adding a clasp or knotting the elastic. It’s as easy as 1.2.3! When they present the bracelet to Mom, the kids can say ” I made it myself” with pride.

Ask to see the hidden boxes of rare special beads like Kunzite, Shungite, Larimar, Pink Opal and Tourmaline.  We don’t have enough counter space to put out all the new beads we brought back from Tucson so the special beads are kept in a secret location!

Sedona February 2012 Newsletter

29 Feb

March 2012 Gem and Jewelry Show!

SAVE THE DATE!

Malia Johnson posing with a giant Lingam in Tuscon

You are getting this month’s Newsletter a little late because we have been really busy unpacking more than 40 boxes that we just shipped in from the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show earlier this month. Our jewelry cases have all been re-merchandised and beautiful new designer jewelry and 14K gold jewelry are being put in the cases daily. We are so excited to introduce you to some powerful new stones that we have never had in the store.

Please note that the Sedona Gem and Jewelry Show is a week earlier this year because St. Patrick’s Day falls on a Saturday and we didn’t want to interfere with anyone’s party.

Our Very Important Buyer (VIB) Preview Show starts on Friday afternoon, March 9th from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. At the Preview Show, you get to be the first to see the newest stones and jewelry pieces as we unpack them. The Gem and Jewelry Show continues on Saturday, March 10th from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. A part of the proceeds from our Gem and Jewelry Show will be donated to The Hawaii Foodbank.

Special Gratitude Tokens will be given to customers who spend $150.00 or more at our Gem Show (while supplies last).  You can choose to keep your special token or you can return the token to us in April 2012 and you’ll receive 20% off your entire purchase of regular priced merchandise.

If you want to avoid the crowds, the busiest times for The Show are usually from 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday evening; from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday and from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.  The quietest times, if you want to have a little more space to be with the crystals are from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 10 a.m. to noon on Sunday.

One of the best ways to see and feel some of the special high vibrational stones is to come to Deidre’s Free Crystal Workshop on Wednesday March 7th from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. The class theme is “Spring into Action,” it’s a hands-on workshop where you will have the opportunity to work with the newest crystals that Deidre has brought in for the Show.  She will teach you how you can use your crystals to energize and motivate yourself to achieve your goals. Class size is very limited. Please call the store at (808) 591-8010 to reserve your seat.

 

My Buyer’s Blog from Tuscon, Arizona

Malia trying to scale up to the massive Quartz Crystal

I was lucky, the weather in Tucson this year was a balmy 70 degrees in the day and low 40′s in the evenings which is a lot better than the frigid 7 degrees and the freak ice storm they had last year. The Tucson Gem and Mineral Show is a place where people from all over the world who deal in gemstones, minerals, fossils and jewelry gather each year in late January/early February. It is considered the biggest and best Gem Show in the world because of the sheer number of buyers and  sellers who congregate there.  The show is about a month long and comprises of over 35 different show sites that are spread out all over the city of Tucson.  Just imagine humongous tents that are larger than football stadiums and convention halls filled with thousands of vendors. There are dozens of  hotels where all the rooms are filled with  purveyors of gemstones and jewelry from lower priced fashion pieces to high end diamonds and colored stones. If you ever go to the show, good walking shoes are a must and a suitcase full of cash is required.  Be aware that no matter what your budget is, you will want to spend way more than you have with you.  I was like a kid in a candy shop!  It was so much fun and hard work all rolled into one.

One of the cool things about this show is that you get to see gigantic stones specimens and really rare stones that you usually only see in museums.  Not only can you take a goofy picture with them but you can usually touch them as well. I try to take pictures next to some of these stones so you can see it in human scale. There was a huge Amethyst Geode that was low to the ground and it was the size of a double bed.  I tried to get a picture of me sleeping in the geode but they wouldn’t let me crawl inside of it. I think it was a good thing since Amethyst Geodes points are very sharp!

 

Interesting New Stones from Tucson Now in Store!

Shungite Pyramid and Bracelets

What is Shungite?

At my first stop at the Tucson Gem Show, a dear friend came up to me and said one word “Shungite.”  I said “what’s that?” Then I went on to discover that it is the newest and the oldest healing stone at the show.

My Russian dealer friend, Vadim showed me how the stone’s very low resistance to energy flow helps it to conduct and filter while energy flows through it. He put an electrical meter to the stone and showed me a super low number to prove how low the electrical resistance was. I brought back a nice variety of Shungite in Pyramids, 10mm bracelets, 12mm bracelets, egg shapes, beads, raw and tumbled stones in a number of different sizes. It is sure to be a very popular stone, so if you like the stone, I would buy some right away.  I will not be able to get more for another year.

Shungite is a 2 billion year old stone found only in Karelia, Russia. Shungite is a rare carbon-based material of organic origin that can provide many benefits to the human body.

by Judy Hall, author of The Crystal Bible

This stone contains Fullerene–a recently discovered carbon formation. It serves as a natural antioxidant.  Shungite can help to support the immune system, as well as help to suppress the development of many allergic diseases. It is excellent at shielding against electromagnetic radiation (EMFs), and is also a strong purifier of water and air. It can help to relieve fatigue, soothe and balance emotions, ease pain and encourage healing. Shungite Pyramids can help to clear and balance the environment. It can also be used to make a gem elixir and purify water- see Judy Hall’s new book 101 Power of Crystals for a more complete write up on how to make an elixir with Shungite.

We also have a limited amount of extremely rare Silver Shungite. Typical Shungite contains about 30% carbon but Silver Shungite is 70% to 94% carbon and is found only from a small area–the Shunga Village in Karelia. So come and check out this “brand new” 2 billion year old stone and have a piece of history in your home!

 

Astrophyllite

Astrophyllite:

Many people look at the rare and beautiful Astrophyllite and describe seeing a burst of stars or a meteor shower in the complex matrix of the stone. We have a few larger pieces of natural Russian Astrophyllite with bright starbursts as well as Astrophyllite pendants for you to choose from.

Forming in shades of rich coppery bronze, Astrophyllite, although typically found in Russia, has also been found in Greenland, Norway and the U.S.  A stone of happiness and joy, Astrophyllite brings harmony to home and family relationships. It is a great stone for deepening the connection between people, especially on a soul-level. Astrophyllite also protects against negative energy, helps to neutralize radiation and harmful electromagnetic fields (EMFs). Astrophyllite encourages self-awareness and helps one to  realize their unlimited potential.

 

Fuchsite and Ruby

Fuchsite and Ruby:

Fuchsite, a green mica, on occasion forms in a natural composite with red Ruby.  Found primarily in South India, this stone combines the courage, strength, and passion for which Ruby is known with the calming, nourishing, emotional healing of Fuchsite . A very unusual stone, we have one large Fuchsite/Ruby Point,  hand lathed Fuchsite/Ruby Bowl and a nice assortment of heart shapes.

Fuchsite in combination with Ruby is a great stone for wisdom and developing emotional balance and independence. In challenging times of conflict, it instills inner-confidence, inspiring one to be true to themselves. Fuchsite with Ruby clears negativity and stagnant energy from the body and one’s environment.  Supportive in the healing process, this stone encourages health and well-being while giving one the strength to cast off negative patterns and habits.

 

In the picture, placed inside the Fuchsite/Ruby bowl is a Natural Star Ruby. Ruby has been cherished throughout the ages. In the Middle Ages, Ruby was believed to resolve disagreements, and aid in healing and removing negative thought patterns. It is an excellent stone for protection from negativity. Ruby is frequently found in Brazil, U.S., India, Thailand, Burma and Sri Lanka. It has been known as the stone of royalty. This stone can help to dispel nightmares and fears that may keep you up at night. Working with Ruby clears negativity and inspires you with passion, joy, and the enthusiasm to pursue your dreams.  It is said that Rubies can bring additional “prana” into the bloodstream providing vibrational support for cells, organs and systems. We just put out some of the largest Star Ruby hand pieces from India that we have ever had in the store as well as some nice palm size Shiva Lingams from the Narmada River region in India.

 

Men’s Rings Just In!

We haven’t forgotten about our male clientele! Over the years, we have had many requests from customers who wanted well-designed men’s rings. Malia heard you loud and clear so she spent a lot of time searching for great rings with interesting stones in men’s sizes from 9-12. Malia found Steve Osback from Arizona who specializes in contemporary Southwestern ring designs set with stones such as American Turquoise, Tiger’s Eye, Onyx, Copper, Native Silver, Ruby, Sonoran Sunrise Cuprite, Malachite/Chrysacolla, and even Dinosaur Bone.  They range in price anywhere from $80 to $300.

 

 

 

New Jewelry Designer Discovery

Watermelon Tourmaline set in 14k Gold

Not only did we discover some new high energy stones, we also found a few wonderful new jewelry designers too!

Handmade in New York by a company called Tchu Tchu Ka, Brazilian designer Regina Rodrigues Morsi makes one of a kind 14k Gold drop jewelry as pictured to the left. The Watermelon Tourmaline Necklace features gemstone briolettes and watermelon tourmaline slices that can be worn in the evening for a special occasion or during the day with a pretty floral dress.  The Watermelon Tourmaline is paired together with Blue Topaz, for creativity and communication and Peridot for abundance and love. We have a matching pair of Watermelon Tourmaline Earrings that will complete the set! The earrings have beautiful Watermelon Tourmaline as the main stone, but are paired together with the energies of Blue Topaz for clear insight, Citrine for happiness, Garnet for physical strength and passion, Peridot for money and friendship, and Ruby for wisdom and knowledge.

These hand-carved Watermelon Tourmaline Leaf Earrings, are handmade by Malia’s friends Bob and Debbie of Go Jolly in Oregon. The layers of colors in these these lovely earrings are set in 14k Gold so that they can be paired with ensembles of many different colors. A one of a kind earring that would make a gorgeous Easter or Mother’s Day Gift.

 

 

 

February’s Birthstone: Amethyst

Amethyst Chandelier Necklaces and Earrings

February’s main Birthstone is Amethyst–an excellent stone for relaxation, meditation and restful sleep. Thai designer Piromaya from Oregon is another new designer we found in Tucson.  She hand makes beautiful Sterling Silver Chandelier style earrings and jewel drop necklaces.  She has a great eye for putting together juicy colors.  Some of the necklace and earrings come in sets, or you can mix and match individual pieces.

Pictured to the right is our Amethyst Drop Necklace that would pair well with formal Prom or Mother’s Day dresses. You can choose either the Amethyst Drop Earrings or the Paraiba Quartz and Amethyst Earrings to complete the look.

Amethyst has been called the “stone of spirituality, contentment and meditation” for its calming and soothing energy. When things get hectic, Amethyst will help bring a peaceful state of mind that can transform any negative energy into positive loving energy. It also promotes focus while instilling the clarity to break any unhealthy habits or patterns that you may have.  It is also a stone of spiritual protection that is sometimes described as being surrounded by a “bubble of light.”
