Tiger's Eye is a variety of quartz containing crocidolite inclusions.

These fibers give the stone a distinctive effect known as chatoyancy. Tiger's Eye has a strong connection with the sun and the solar plexus.

This stone warms, provides comfort, and "burns away" negative influences.

It has a revitalizing effect and makes you feel more energetic. It supports digestive fire, gastrointestinal function, the eyes, the liver, and the autonomic nervous system.

Benefits for the mind

Wearing Tiger's Eye regularly helps alleviate panic and anxiety. It is therefore perfect for people who quickly fall victim to nervousness and can no longer see things clearly.

Some of the benefits of Tiger's Eye for the mind are:

It provides mental clarity, helping you decide more decisively which path to take.

The person wearing it will feel much more self-confident and full of strength.

Tiger's Eye is also known as the "stone of willpower." For this reason, it aligns perfectly with the energy of the third chakra. The person wearing it realizes that they must take responsibility for their actions.

It stimulates a sense of stability and practicality. It helps you become more responsive when the situation calls for it.

Benefits for the body

Tiger's Eye is believed to help relieve pain. By balancing the flow of energy, it gives the body a sense of relaxation that helps soothe the nerves. It is particularly useful for headaches and also benefits the liver, stomach, intestines, and spleen. It is also used to alleviate symptoms of respiratory problems such as asthma, bronchitis, and colds.

Benefits for the spirit

We hear so much about Kundalini, the coiled serpent at the base of the spine, the dormant divine energy in Muladhara (the first chakra). According to some, Tiger's Eye helps awaken this energy. I would say instead that it can support a process of introspection and personal growth that takes years. A mineral alone is certainly not enough to awaken divine energy, which, as it rises along Sushumna—the body's main energy channel, corresponding physically to the spine—leads to enlightenment.

Tiger's Eye stimulates your deepest desires. All in all, it is one of the best stones for meditation. Its golden reflections vibrate with the higher chakras and help you connect with the divine, allowing you to experience unconditional love. Your desires will then no longer seem unattainable, whether they are spiritual or material in nature. It is a stone that brings abundance to every area of life.

Material: Hardstone - Copper with silver-colored coating, semi-precious stone

Delivered with a black cotton cord.

Benefits for the body

Rose Quartz alleviates heart disorders, regulates the circulatory system, and lowers high blood pressure. Since pink is a soothing color, it combats stress, agitation, depression, insomnia, and physical and mental fatigue.

Benefits for the mind

Rose Quartz works on the mind, helping the person accept the most difficult changes, especially those resulting from an emotional separation: it provides comfort and helps open up to love, despite past suffering.

It helps to love without fear and alleviates the pain of lack of love, warding off the sense of loneliness and lack of self-esteem. Its energy is among the most relaxing and promotes empathy, reconciliation, and forgiveness. It reduces stress and tension in the heart, eliminating anger, jealousy, envy, and resentment towards those who have caused us pain.

It is the stone of forgiveness: of ourselves, for the mistakes made in the past, and of others who have caused us pain. In this sense, it helps to deeply analyze the reasons for such improper behaviors, to accept and forgive them definitively, thus leaving them behind

Benefits for the spirit

Rose Quartz carries out a deep emotional purification, helping to release the limitations that prevent personal growth, and therefore happiness. Unexpressed emotions often block positive changes, and this can lead over time even to physical problems.

They block spiritual experiences and self-awareness, and Rose Quartz is the cure: initially it helps to bring back old and forgotten emotions (fear, anger, pain, etc.) that are found deep down, and subsequently encourages expressing these feelings, resolving and releasing them once and for all. It stimulates openness of heart, generosity, availability, and a positive attitude towards life.

It is therefore a stone that opens us to the most beautiful feelings such as love, understanding, acceptance, and gentleness. It is the stone that nourishes all the emotions that pass through the heart.

Description of Jade

Mineral class: phyllosilicates. Chemical formula: NaAl[Si2O6] + Ca, Fe, Mg, Mn

Jade is an ornamental stone and not strictly a mineral, but rather a collection of particular silicate minerals (jadeite and nephrite) distributed in a structure made of very fine granules and interwoven fibers.

The color is rarely uniform: on a white or off-white background, slight shades of pink, lavender, violet, or more often emerald green or light green appear due to the presence of chromium.

Today, other minerals are sold under the name of jade, such as serpentine, which not only has the same appearance but is also extracted from the same deposits as jadeite and nephrite, although it is more malleable and less resistant.

Element

Water: the water element relates to the sphere of emotions and femininity (love, healing, compassion, reconciliation, intuition).

Chakra associated with Jade

Second chakra Svadhishthana ("Sacral") and fourth chakra Anahata ("Heart")

Mythology

The name "jade" derives from the Spanish pedra de ijada, meaning "stone of the flanks," given its traditional beneficial power over the lower back and kidneys, and dates back to the time of the Spanish conquest of Central America, where this stone was highly appreciated and finely worked.

In ancient China, it was a sacred stone used to make urns because it was believed to have the power to prevent corrosion and ward off evil spirits. In traditional Chinese literature, gold and jade are often mentioned together and are considered symbols of wealth.

Even today, the price of good-quality jade is worth no less than a piece of gold of the same weight.Confucius (551-479 BC) states that jade possesses eleven virtues, including benevolence (it is soft and smooth to the touch), loyalty (it never irritates the skin), education, and sincerity (a flaw in jade is never hidden). Confucian culture also taught that a man should define his manners and conduct in accordance with the virtues of jade.

Effect on the body

Jade strengthens the liver, spleen, and heart. It reactivates circulation, purifies the blood, and stimulates the immune system.

It has rebalancing properties for the entire body. It is beneficial for kidney activity and combats swelling in the legs and knees.

Effect on the psyche

Jade has calming, soothing, and alleviating properties for troubled moods. It eliminates fear, consoles, and invites benevolence.It helps the heart find compassion to make the right decisions. It rebalances emotions and gives modesty and clarity of thought. It opens the mind and encourages renewal

The Myth

The Moon, mistress of the unconscious and imagination, has its domicile in this sign. It is well known that Cancer is the most moody of the zodiac signs. Just as the Moon alternates four different phases in a month, so the Cancerian has imperceptible mood swings. Ancient astronomers, except those from Mesopotamia and the Mediterranean countries, soon discovered the link between the Moon and the tides. In medieval astrology, it was believed that the Moon controlled everything pertaining to water. Perhaps because it was thought that the Moon exerted influences, like the tide, on the liquids circulating in the body and particularly on the brain, it was believed for a long time that the Moon was connected with madness, making people precisely 'lunatic'. Science has also long ago demonstrated the existence of the lunar influence.

Mythology is full of them: lunar deities are indeed very numerous, but they all embody the archetype of the mother. Even the hunting goddess Artemis, the Roman Diana, known for her vengeance against those who, falling in love with her, sought her for her femininity, seems to have indulged her feminine maternal side by visiting the shepherd Endymion at night and bearing many children with him. Latona, the first wife of Zeus-Jupiter, represents the first of the Great Mothers and, like Hecate, is the castrating, oppressive, regressive, and selfish mother who prevents her child from cutting the umbilical cord. The problem of Cancer, often, is that of overcoming the relationship with the parents, accepting one's role, and experiencing reality with one's own eyes. Sicuteri says: "In this sphere are played out the archetypes of the mother and the son, man and the Moon, gestation and birth, the primary object relationship. If in the son always vibrates the ghost of Oedipus, in the Cancerian mother there is always a manifestation of Sophoclean Jocasta". Sophocles tells that Laius, king of Thebes, had a son from Jocasta, his legitimate wife, named Oedipus. Since prophecies had predicted that this son would kill his father by marrying his mother, Laius ordered his killing. Oedipus escaped his fate and was adopted by the king of Corinth, who hid from him that he was not the real father. When, as a young man, Oedipus learned of the predictions, he fled home so that destiny would not be fulfilled, but thus killed the real father, met by chance, and married his widow, Jocasta, the real mother, without knowing it.

In every Cancerian woman, therefore, there would be a mother ready to 'possess' her child in every way. Seasonally too, this sign corresponds to the triumph of the fertilizing, maternal, earthly forces; it is the time when seeds are formed, the grain ripens, and vegetation is at the peak of its splendor: it is the flowering of summer.

The Characteristics

Just as the crab proceeds unstably, now moving forward, now backward, so Cancer lives on memories while maintaining a sense of the present. It is well known that the little animal hides behind its fragile appearance a tenacity beyond the norm; it uses its hooked claws to cling on.

In the same way, the Cancerian is born with a tenacity that goes far beyond mere willpower. The shell, that is, the family, is something that is always carried with them, at least on an emotional and psychological level. They are extremely sweet, homebody individuals, predisposed to family and traditional values, but they are also endowed with an extraordinary analytical and introspective capacity: not for nothing do so many writers belong to this sign.

Material

Corozo, or "Vegetable Ivory" or "Tagua", is made from the dried seed of the tropical plant "Phytelephas macrocarpa", commonly known as the elephant plant (Phytos = plant, elephas = elephant).

The plant, similar to that of the coconut, grows in the humid equatorial belt of central South America (Ecuador).

Each plant produces 8-10 inflorescences per year, each containing 250 seeds. When fresh, they contain a milky white liquid which, after 9 months of maturation, solidifies and transforms into a white material entirely similar to animal ivory.

After drying, corozo nuts are cut into slices. The turned slice becomes a regular roundel.

The original color, from optical white to antique ivory, must be considered "the natural" par excellence.

Dyeing with natural earths emphasizes the shape and highlights its unique and extraordinary grain, very similar to that of burl wood.

The characteristics of the first chakra

Mūlādhāra is the name of the first chakra, also known as the root chakra, which is located in the perineum between the genitals and the anus. It is the chakra that represents the support of the entire body (its name means precisely “the support of the base”) and is depicted as a lotus flower with scarlet petals, to which the color red is associated.

Its element is earth, and the phase of life associated with it is early childhood, strongly linked to emotions such as security and the joy of living.

The main characteristic of this chakra is its hardness, which is why exercises on Muladhara promote the strengthening and stability of the entire organism, both physically and emotionally.

When the first chakra is blocked, the consequences are a strong sense of insecurity and apathy, along with a loss of self-esteem that can lead us to a discouraged and perpetually resigned attitude in everyday activities.

Conversely, excessive activity of this chakra also does not bring positive consequences: it can lead to mental rigidity, hostility toward change, aggression, and an excessive attachment to money. We must pay particular attention to the Muladhara chakra when we go through periods of major change, such as a separation, a move, the start of a new activity, and generally all events that involve our sense of security and stability.

Material

Corozo, or “plant ivory” or “tagua,” is made from the dried seed of the tropical plant “Phytelephas macrocarpa,” usually called the elephant plant (Phytos = plant, elephas = elephant).

The plant, similar to a coconut palm, grows in the humid equatorial belt of central South America (Ecuador).

Each plant produces 8–10 inflorescences per year, each containing 250 seeds. When fresh, they contain a milky white liquid that, after 9 months of maturation, solidifies and turns into a white material very similar to animal ivory.

After drying, corozo nuts are cut into slices. The turned slice becomes a washer with regular dimensions.

The original color, from optical white to antiqued ivory, must be considered “natural” par excellence.

Dyeing with natural earths emphasizes the shape and highlights its unique and extraordinary grain, which is very similar to that of wood.

Laser-engraved plant ivory pendant with the 2nd chakra, Svadhisthana or the “sacral chakra”

Meaning: it is pleasure, the joy of living, and sexuality expressed to their fullest potential.

Location: Lower abdomen

Function: Sexuality, emotions, creativity

Color: Orange

Element: Water

Sense: Touch and taste

Crystals and stones: Amber, citrine, topaz, opal

Mantra: Vam

Note: Re

Svadhisthana is the name of the second chakra, also known as the sacral chakra. 7 chakra meaningIt is located just below the navel, in the lower abdomen, and precisely because of its position it represents our “center”, understood as the fulcrum of emotional energy.

Its Sanskrit name means “favorable place”, referring to the safe haven in which we keep our true nature.

It is the chakra that connects body, mind, and spirit, a true meeting point between our inner self and the outside world.

It is depicted with a white lotus with six vermilion petals, inside of which is inscribed a crescent moon representing the region presided over by the god Varuna.

The characteristics of the second chakra

Its element is water and the color associated with it is orange, strongly linked to creativity and the free expression of our Self.

This Chakra is also associated with spontaneity, physical and emotional pleasure, joy, sexuality, and fulfillment in all its facets.

When the second chakra is blocked, the consequences mainly affect our emotional sphere: we lose all control over our emotions, becoming excessively enslaved by instinct and anger, and allowing ourselves to be dragged down by negative feelings that block the path of logic and reason. Our mood becomes erratic and we swing from moments of euphoria to moments of deep apathy, allowing ourselves to engage in behaviors that are harmful to ourselves and others.

Over time, the obstruction of the Svadhisthana chakra leads to localized disorders in the area of the body where it is located, such as kidney stones, genital cancer, fertility problems, and impotence.

Laser-engraved vegetable ivory pendant with the 3rd chakra, Manipura or the “solar plexus chakra”

Dimensions: 2.8 cm

Complete with an adjustable black waxed cotton cord with a sliding knot.

Meaning: it is the ability to act energetically, willpower, self-esteem, and personal autonomy. In a spiritual sense, it is the active essence with which we have been endowed.

Location: Solar plexus

Function: Expansiveness, awareness of life, action, willpower, and pleasure

Color: Yellow

Element: Fire

Sense: Smell

Crystals and stones: All yellow stones, in particular Calcite, Citrine, and Topaz

Mantra: Ram

Note: Mi

Manipura is the name of the third chakra, also known as the solar plexus chakra. As the name itself suggests, this chakra is located in the area of our solar plexus, that is, between the navel and the sternum, just below the diaphragm. Its name in Sanskrit means “the city of the shining jewel,” referring to our ego and personal fulfillment.

The Manipura chakra is therefore connected to our dreams, desires, and ambitions, and governs self-acceptance, self-esteem, and our relationship with others.

It is depicted as a lotus flower with ten yellow petals representing the ten nadis from which the chakra originates. In the center of the flower is an inverted red triangle with the syllable Ram inscribed inside it.

The characteristics of the third chakra

The element that represents the third chakra is fire, and the color associated with it is yellow, strongly linked to solar energy and the metaphorical splendor of self-actualization. This Chakra is also associated with personal power, self-confidence, and generally everything to do with the ego and the achievement of one's goals.

When the third chakra is blocked, the consequences mainly affect our view of life: it appears disappointing, unfulfilling, and devoid of any incentive or strong motivation to move forward. There is a risk of falling into depression and apathy, allowing pessimism to take over and nip any will to change in the bud. Excessively shy or introverted people, and those who constantly experience a sense of inadequacy, often have problems precisely at the level of this chakra. The Manipura chakra is almost always blocked in those who suffer from imposter syndrome, which leads us to believe that all our success was caused by deceiving others and making them believe we are better than we actually are.

Failing to address a blockage in the third chakra can lead us to suffer from serious problems of depression and nervous exhaustion, and over time even involve the internal organs associated with the solar plexus region, primarily the pancreas and the stomach, leading to subcutaneous fat accumulation and digestive problems.

Material

Corozo, or “vegetable ivory” or “tagua,” is made from the dried seed of the tropical plant “Phytelephas macrocarpa,” commonly known as the elephant plant (Phytos = plant, elephas = elephant).

The plant, similar to that of the coconut, grows in the humid equatorial belt of central South America (Ecuador).

Each plant produces 8–10 fruiting clusters per year, each containing 250 seeds. When fresh, they contain a milky white liquid that, after 9 months of maturation, solidifies and turns into a white material very similar to animal ivory.

After drying, corozo nuts are cut into slices. The turned slice becomes a disc with regular dimensions.

The original color, from optical white to antique ivory, must be considered “the natural” one par excellence.

Tinting with natural earths emphasizes the shape and highlights its unique and extraordinary veins, which are very similar to those of burl wood.

Dimensions: 2.8 cm

Complete with an adjustable black waxed cotton cord with a sliding knot.

Meaning: it is the ability to love emotionally, that is, to experience a feeling that does not stem so much from the mind as from the heart. It is important to remember that, in the yoga tradition, love and listening are closely related; spiritually speaking, they have the same significance.

Position: In the center of the chest

Function: Love, humility, compassion, generosity, openness to others

Color: Green

Element: Air

Sense: Touch

Crystals and stones: All green stones, in particular tourmaline and aventurine

Mantra: Yam

Note: Fa

Anahata is the fourth of our chakras, also known as the heart chakra because of its position adjacent to our heart: it is located in the center of the sternum and governs all the organs and limbs near this area, namely the heart and circulatory system, but also the lungs, thymus, and upper limbs.

Its Sanskrit name means “unstruck,” which literally refers to a sound produced by two elements that do not collide with each other, and it refers to the meeting of the heart and lung plexuses, where two important vital functions flow together without interfering with one another.

The Anahata chakra is, in fact, connected to our purest and most selfless feelings, such as altruism, humility, trust, compassion, and forgiveness.

It is depicted as a green lotus with twelve petals on which twelve Sanskrit consonants are inscribed.

The characteristics of the fourth chakra

The element that represents this chakra is air, which unites heaven and earth, and the color associated with it is green, which represents harmony and well-being.

When the fourth chakra is open and balanced, our generosity, openness toward others, and empathy benefit: we are able to love and give all of ourselves without any ulterior motive, feeling balanced and in harmony with the rest of humanity.

Conversely, when the Anahata chakra is blocked, our attitude toward others is clearly affected: we tend to become distrustful and excessively paranoid, struggling to trust others or let ourselves go with them, fueling a growing indecision that makes us doubt and feel depressed for no reason. We begin to fear and avoid expressions of affection as much as possible, not feeling worthy of receiving love and feeling anxious in our social relationships.

Even when the chakra is excessively open, there are unpleasant consequences: we try to help others in a way that is not completely selfless, only for the recognition we will gain from it and their gratitude. The need to give is linked to our selfishness, and we end up blaming others for our failures and disappointments.

The physical consequences involve the organs governed by the chakra, namely the heart and lungs, causing problems such as high blood pressure, asthma, and insomnia, and increasing the risk of heart and lung diseases.
