This very fine heart shaped banded Malachite pendant will be a truly magical gift for a loved one this Christmas.

Malachite was treasured by the Ancients, and has always been known as a stone of protection. It helps to bring deep suppressed feelings to the surface, and many believe it can guard against infection as well as providing psychic protection. It is allied to the heart chakra.

Malachite is formed when water comes into contact with copper deposits deep underground. The oxygen and carbon dioxide dissolved in the water react with the copper to produce this beautiful green gemstone.

Perhaps the association with copper, a great conductor of heat and electricity, is why Malachite is associated with bringing clarity to thoughts and feelings.

Malachite is associated with the Zodiac signs of Capricorn and Scorpio, and some authorities extend the link to Virgo and Libra.

This beautiful moon-shaped pendant is made of the gemstone Tiger Eye.

Tiger Eye is a stone of strength and positive action. An ideal stone for students, it sharpens the intellect and helps to clarify the thought processes, which means it can be used to bring clarity to thoughts and feelings. A stone of balance, it can protect the user against abuse of power and also help to bring money into their life. It stimulates the root chakra.

Tiger Eye is associated with the Zodiac sign of Capricorn.

Tiger Eye is formed when Riebeckite replaces Fluorite or Barite. The reason for this change is uncertain but it is part of the cycle of life that even the foundations of the earth go through. This almost magical transformation has produced a lovely golden brown stone.

Each pendant has been hand crafted and comes with a silver plated fastener attached.

This lovely crescent moon-shaped pendant is made of the gemstone Red Jasper.

Red Jasper is very strong protective stone. It strengthens the body powerfully and so has been found to be very helpful for those in weak health or recivering from illness or accident. A stone of balance, it can aid in stabilising the aura and can help in dispelling negative or old energies. It has reportedly been of help in restoring a sense of smell and is used to combat degeneration of various organs associated with the base Chakra. Its energy may assist whenever and wherever creative thinking is needed.

Jasper can come in many different forms and colours; the exact name of the variety stems from where it is found or, as here, on the colour of the gemstone.

It is associated with the zodiac sign of Aries and the planet Mars.

Each pendant has been hand crafted, and comes with a silver plated fastener attached.

A lovely moon pendant made of the gemstone Lapis Lazuli

Lapis Lazuli has been made into jewellery from the very earliest times. It was a royal stone, and thought to be very spiritual. The Egyptians and Greeks recognised its value, perhaps because of the gold sparkles within the intense blue. The Ancient Egyptians also recognised the power of Lapis Lazuli to open up the user to the truth. Some think that the early alchemists were referring to Lapis Lazuli when they talked about the Philospher's Stone. It is said to aid mental clarity and can be useful for scholars, also helping to make the path clear for all seekers of enlightenment. It may help bring about karmic healing.

Lapis Lazuli is associated with the Zodiac sign of Sagittarius, yet traditionally ruled by Saturn. It stimulates the throat chakra.

Each pendant has been hand crafted and comes with a silver plated fastener attached.
