Ever since I bought my first ever crystal (necklace) in 2019, I was fascinated by the beauty of it and the effect it has for my mind. Not because of the power it has, but because of its beauty and it makes me happy. It reminds me that the earth has so much beauty in it and I'm just a tiny spec in the universe and there's so much more to explore in the world. Obviously I can't travel every place on earth but seeing and touching these beautiful crystals just made me feel like I've already traveled to where they came from.

I have been wanting to go back to the shop where I bought my bracelet but I kept delaying it cos lockdown and also I was prioritizing other stuff (for spending). Yesterday, I made that decision and finally went to the crystal shop. :3

When I got there, the amethyst geode sitting on top of a shelf was the first to catch my eye. I mean... just look at that.

I really wanted something big like that, so I made sure I lock my eyes on one. And then, I have no idea what else to buy. I just walked around the shop and check what else feels attractive to me.

The next crystal that attracted me is the black thing with green-blue inside that almost feels like a pearl. I didn't know what it was or what its purpose until I asked. It's a Labradorite.

This is just... stunning. It seems like you are looking into another world in it. So magical. It reminded me that I have a dreamer inside of me and that she should not be afraid of exploring the world (and everywhere else). It also seems like a new experience when you stare at it again and again. Just so surreal and I'm so happy I never let go of it until I added it to my cart lmao.

This stone is also used as a symbol for transformation, which just makes sense with its appearance.

The next thing I picked up was a rose quarts. I really wanted one, as I want something to use as a symbol for me to be more loving to others and myself as well.

Pink is my favorite color and this just soothes me. It makes me feel good and comfortable. It reminds me to be kind.

Then I picked up these. I know Black Tourmaline which is a protective stone that absorbs negativity and Lapis Lazuli (dark blue) as a stone of wisdom and something that guides you to your higher self. I know I want and need both of these so I just picked up the two immediately.

The other two are actually unfamiliar to me but I felt like I needed to own them. I asked the owner through Instagram cos I forgot to ask at the shop.

The pink one is a Rhodonite which balances emotions and heals you from your past. Yep, I badly need that lol. It's a good thing I followed my intuition.

The bluish-gray one is a Moss Agate also balances emotions and releases stress. Also something that I need.

I also bought a clear quartz pendant. It's just really pretty and I think I will be prettier with it! :P

And another pendant. If my memory is correct, this is a Black Tourmaline but I may be wrong as well. Hmm, I might need to ask again. :p

Lastly, I went to the shelf with bracelets that are a combination of stones.

And I picked this up. I actually had a lot of time to decide cos I had to wait (so I could ask) as another customer had come in and bought something. It's so pretty and even though I don't go out as much, I still feel like I need it. Then I remember Blue Appatite is for self expression and creativity. Lapis Lazuli is also used for that purpose, which makes the combination a powerful one for communication. This is a combination of three stones but I forgot the other one. :/

Owning It

Most of the things that I do in life is a symbol of something. I like to give them meanings. Aside from them being pretty, they also make me happy because I use them to manifest what I want in my life. Owning these stones is also like "owning" whatever they are being symbolized for.

Obviously I'm not using it as a means of healing myself from sickness. If I am depressed and need a therapy, I'll seek out a professional help.

The most important part of me owning these is that it makes me happy. :3
