TUCSON 2012 UPDATE

Well, Gene is back from Tucson with a TON & A HALF (literally!) of rocks!! The focus this year was on new high vibration tools to be used for the expansion of ourselves and others as we shift into the new Earth energies.

NEW!  FLAME SHAPES in Lavender Rose Quartz, Rose Quartz, Carnelian, Amethyst and Ametrine.  Those of you who have been working with the "I AM" Discourses know the significance of the Violet Flame of Purification and the Pink Flame of Healing. Imagine how excited we were to find these crystal flame shapes as a physical reminder of the powerful healing energy of these forms!

NEW! EILAT STONE from Israel.  There aren't many stones we know of that come from Israel so Gene was very excited to find raw pieces of it. This is a copper based mineral composed of turquoise, chrysocolla, malachite and in some specimens dioptase (one of our favorite heart stones!). Said to be a stone of King Solomon, it facilitates growth of wisdom. Given its location and the recent shifts in the Middle East, we think it will be a great stone for those whose intention is to grid peace and harmony through out the planet.  [Check it out in Melody's Love Is in the Earth - The Crystal and Mineral Encyclopedia (hardbound) - page 267]

NEW! COQUIMBITE from Peru. This stone comes from the region of Peru where the geoglyphs of the Nazca Lines originate.  We found this mineral to be bubbly and cleansing in its energy properties, leaving the user with a feeling of contentment that "all is well". It only appeared at the Tucson show last year so too new to be listed in many of the metaphysical reference books. Check it out for yourself to find out what it does.

NEW! BLACK LINGAMS from India. These are great grounding stones if you are looking for an alternate to black tourmaline or hematite. We've got them in a variety of sizes from pocket size to meditation/hot stone massage size to room gridding size.

NEW! BLACK MOONSTONE (yes BLACK!) from Madagascar. This stone is very grounding and soothing as it connects with the feminine energies. Especially good for soothing the emotions.

NEW! GREEN KYANITE LINGAMS from India. We also found palm sized lingam shapes made from a new find of green kyanite. These will make great meditation and stone layout pieces along with hot stone massage.

NEW! QUARTZ from the area of the SATYALOKA MONASTERY. This was Barbie's favorite find of the show. We know it's been hyped a lot but this quartz does carry a very high vibration which helps one go inward and connect with the Higher Self. Each piece seems to be unique in the way it helps the user connect (I've tried meditating with 3 of them and each was different!)

NEW! PRESELI STONE from Wales. This is the same mineral that was used to build the inner circle of Stonehenge! Definitely an old, wise energy that is coming forth to help us move into the new vibration!

NEW! VERA CRUZ AMETHYST from Mexico. These delicate amethysts are relatively rare so Gene was pleased when he found this lot. They are said to produce an almost immediate beta state and stimulate the throat chakra. [Check it out in Melody's Love Is in the Earth - The Crystal and Mineral Encyclopedia (hardbound) - page 88]

 NEW! GOLDEN LEMURIANS from Brazil. We only found a few of these beauties but they have an incredible loving and high vibration energy. Can't wait to play with them to see what they can do!

 NEW! SUPER SEVEN CABOCHONS from Brazil. This is the 'real deal'. We got them from Melody and they come with certificates.

 NEW! SMOKY AMETHYST ELESTIALS WITH LEPIDOCROSITE from Brazil. These little elestials are very powerful for getting to the root of issues and helping resolve them. Our experience was that they immediately go to the blockage and make the user aware of it.

 NEW! BLUE FLUORITE with CALCITE and CHALCOPYRITE from Morocco. Another wild mineral combination that we couldn't pass up.

 NEW! YELLOW FLUORITE with CHALCOPYRITE from Morocco. Our friend Becky asked this mineral what it did and it replied, "I can do lots of things including sinuses". That was enough for us and it proved to be right - it does work on sinuses!

 NEW! YELLOW CALCITE from China. Becky and I fell in love with this stuff. It is bright, shiny citrine calcite, some of it in dogtooth shape which will make great healing tools for working on solar plexus issues.

NEW! ATACAMITE from Australia. This stone helps with self motivation (couldn't we all use a little of that?) and also is good for protection. [Check it out in Melody's Love Is in the Earth - The Crystal and Mineral Encyclopedia (hardbound) - page 121]

NEW! LINARITE from Arizona. This stone came straight from our miner friend, Crystal Mark, so it carries an extremely clean vibration. It is an excellent stone for dealing with confrontation and anger and helps the user speak from the heart. Also helps one enjoy life and freedom. [Check it out in Melody's Love Is in the Earth - The Crystal and Mineral Encyclopedia (hardbound) - page 441]

NEW! CREEDITE from Mexico. Becky's favorite stone! It helps with clarity of expression in the spiritual realm and channeling of messages.  [Check it out in Melody's Love Is in the Earth - The Crystal and Mineral Encyclopedia (hardbound) - page 230]

MORE! SHUNGITE from Russia. This was a great seller for us last year and we found it in even more shapes and sizes, including tumbled. This stone protects one from harm; shields against electromagnetic radiation of computers and cell phones. Talk to Becky about it - she loves it!

 MORE! COVELLITE Tumbled from Peru.  This is a versatile stone that acts to increase a positive attitude and help you achieve your goals. Covellite also helps purge toxins from the body and brings order to disordered cells so it has been used in the treatment of cancer. [Check it out in Melody's Love Is in the Earth - The Crystal and Mineral Encyclopedia (hardbound) - page 227]

 MORE! INDIGO HALITE from Poland. This is a trippy little salt based crystal that has splashes of indigo and purple color (don't put it in water!) and we sold out of it in 3 weeks last year. In addition to elevating the mood and diminishing negativity, this variety also stimulates psychic power, intuition and mysticism and encourages adaptability. We also found that it is great for the chronic Cincinnati sinus condition! [Check it out in Melody's Love Is in the Earth - The Crystal and Mineral Encyclopedia (hardbound) - page 343]

 MORE! PYRITE  SUNS. Great for working on back pain. We also found some with a chalcopyrite glaze that is really beautiful!

 NEW! ROSE QUARTZ & AMETHYST VOGEL healing tools from Brazil.   We tried to find good tools that were affordable and we came back with some nice Brazilian made pieces. Can't get enough of that rose quartz unconditional love vibration!

MORE! SERAPHINITE SLABS and FREE FORMS for laying on of stones work. Gene loves these stones for healing and hot stone massage work.

MORE!  SMOKY QUARTZ and AMETHYST PHANTOM LASERS from Australia. These crystals connect the root chakra to the crown allowing us to expand into the Divine while remaining fully grounded on the earth plane. The smoky quartz also helps protect and cleanse any stagnant energy while the amethyst allows us to "reach for the stars".  We love this new stone and were lucky enough to bring back more material so there's a stone available for almost any budget.

NEW! SELENITE tools in a variety of new shapes including pyramids, generators and spirals.  We love selenite for gridding rooms with higher vibrations and as healing tools. These new shapes are great for both!

NEW! SELENITE LAMPS in small and large cathedral forms and peach selenite pyramids. Many of you have admired ours and asked about these lamps so we stocked up on a nice variety of sizes and colors

NEW! PYRAMIDS in a variety of stones for doing gridding work.

 

 

We're looking forward to a GREAT new year as we move into the new energies of 2011 and beyond and hope to share some of the bliss and excitement we find in the Mineral Kingdom with you!
