In Renaissance magic, the figure of a man with his right hand raised was engraved on this stone, and the amulet was worn to succeed in legal cases, as well as to ensure health and safety. In the 16th century, magicians suggested it as an antidote to false ideas and fantasies and, for this purpose, it was drilled and worn around the neck.

Copper-colored chalcedony derives its name from the presence of copper and is known as the "metal of Venus," as it represents on the one hand love, beauty, sensitivity, and harmony, and on the other, balance and impartiality.Pink chalcedony owes its color to the presence of manganese, considered a symbol of warmth, fire, and vitality.The presence of iron is responsible for the coloration of red chalcedony, associated with Mars, a synonym of will, activity, dynamism, and initiative.

Selenite incense holder engraved with the symbols of the 7 Chakras.

For burning thin incense sticks.

Dimensions: 25 x 5 cm

Material: Selenite

Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel, disc, or circle. The chakras are our vital points and represent the energy centers of our body, which have the task of absorbing our vital energy (prana) and distributing it outwards.

In our body, there are 74 chakras counted, but of these only 7 are the basic or main chakras. Each of these 7 chakras is located at a precise point in our body and they are distributed between the head and the base of the spine.

Even though we have given them a spatial location, the chakras are not part of our physical body but rather our subtle body, that is, our emotional part.

And it is precisely in this latter point that we can find the kundalini, an energy that is found in all of us and that is tangled in itself like a snake. In Hatha Yoga, the chakras represent the stages that the kundalini passes through during its path of ascent.

The chakras are also represented with lotus flowers seen from above. Precisely for this they can also take the name of Padma, which means exactly “lotus”.

Each lotus that represents a chakra also has a different number of petals and a different color and contains different elements, such as a mantra, a letter of the Sanskrit alphabet on the petals or a symbol with a particular meaning.

Black tourmaline works very well at a physical level, as its vibrations are in line with those of the first chakra. You can work on the back, the spine, but also the ankles. Useful in case of tired muscles.

It strengthens the immune system and acts positively on intestinal problems, such as constipation, of course, but also irritable bowel syndrome. It is particularly useful for the brain because it balances the hemispheres, the right one and the left one.

Benefits for the mind

Use black tourmaline if you suffer from panic attacks and are working a lot on yourself. It helps control every kind of fear; in this case, the suggestion I give you is to wear it and keep it close to your body.

I said earlier that black tourmaline is excellent for protecting you from electromagnetic radiation from the PC. To obtain this beneficial effect, keep it on your desk next to you. In this way, you enjoy a double benefit: besides acting as a shield, it keeps your mind always active and helps you concentrate.

Wear black tourmaline if you want to learn to manage anger, free yourself from negative thoughts, but also from substance abuse. For anxious characters, it is ideal because it frees you from all those chronic worries that prevent you from living life freely and carefree.

These mental poisons are instead replaced by a much clearer and more neutral thought, capable of seeing things for what they are and tackling one problem at a time.

To summarize, it is useful for: panic attacks, protecting yourself from electromagnetic waves, activating the mind, anger management, substance abuse control, warding off worries, bringing clear thinking.

Benefits for the spirit

It is used by shamans to obtain protection during rituals performed to search for the spiritual causes of a problem. You can use it today in protection and purification rituals. Wear it if you realize that many of the people close to you, from whom unfortunately you cannot distance yourself (for example, neighbors), suck away a lot of your energy. It is a good way to shield yourself from them.

Thanks to black tourmaline, you can bring clarity to your lives and promote your light, keep yourself spiritually open and alive, open to the universe and its changes. You can use it to remove blocks in the aura, for example, but also to pull out negative energies.

To summarize, it is useful for: protection stone, purifies the environment, energy shield, ignites enthusiasm, promotes inner light, removes aura blocks.

Benefits on the first chakra

Place it on the first chakra when you feel down, almost lethargic. You no longer feel enthusiasm for anything and no longer perceive any stimulus. It means that Muladhara is blocked.

Bead size: 0.6 cm

Material: Jasper, semi-precious stone

Description of Jasper

Mineral class: oxides, quartz group. Chemical formula: SiO2 + Fe, O,OH, Si.

Jasper is a very common opaque and compact stone belonging to the quartz family, which presents several colors (from red to green, yellow, and brown) depending on the inclusions of different foreign substances.

It is of secondary origin and derives from the deposition of silica directly from water in clay or sandy rocks. During the progressive transformation into quartz, the fine particles of clay and sand remain trapped in the forming jasper, causing its opacity and the surface patterns that characterize it. It can also have an organic origin due to the accumulation of radiolarians or sponges. According to Pliny the Elder, the oldest deposits were found in Ethiopia, Cyprus, and India; today the most important are in Brazil, Australia, and India. In Italy, jasper is found in Tyrol, Tuscany, and Liguria. The most common varieties are yellow and sand-brown, green, and red: the first is produced by the presence of iron oxide in a divalent form (Fe2+), the red one in a trivalent form (Fe3+), while the green one comes from inclusions of iron silicate compounds.

Element

Depending on its color, jasper can be associated with various elements (Fire: red; Earth: green, yellow, and brown) and their respective characteristics related to energy and strength, prosperity, fertility, and well-being.

Chakra associated with Jasper

Second chakra Svadhishthana ("Sacral")

Mythology

The name jasper is of Persian origin and in antiquity referred to what we now call quartz. The first to use jasper in its various varieties were the Hittites and, later, the Egyptians, Phoenicians, Etruscans, and Chinese, who included it among the Yu stones, that is, "sacred stones".

In the Middle Ages, Hildegard von Bingen gives the following description of the formation of jasper in her treatise Physica: "Jasper grows when the sun, after the ninth hour, turns toward sunset. It is heated by the sun's heat, yet it is more air than water or fire". According to the Benedictine nun, it is a remedy for heartache and troubled dreams: for heartache, the cold stone should be placed on the chest until the body's heat warms it (the procedure should be repeated until you feel better); for troubled dreams, however, you should keep the stone next to you while you sleep, as its influences bring serenity to your sleep.

In ancient times, jasper was attributed with the power to neutralize any type of spell. The Native Americans used it in rituals to make it rain, hence the name "rain stone". The ancient Egyptians considered blood jasper to be the emblem of the blood of the goddess Isis, and various types were used as amulets in the form of scarabs. In the Middle Ages, it was considered the stone of warriors: in this regard, in the Nibelungen saga, it is told that a piece of jasper was embedded in the hilt of Siegfried's sword.

Effect on the body

Yellow and brown jasper: rebalances the immune system and aids the assimilation of iron, like all other varieties.

Green jasper: has a detoxifying and anti-inflammatory action, is protective and refreshing. It is widely used for massages and pranotherapy because it helps transmit strength and energy.

Red jasper: protects against diseases and strengthens the body. Stimulates the circulation of energy in the body. Regulates the menstrual flow and protects the genital organs. Eliminates fatigue and combats apathy.

Effect on the psyche

Yellow and brown jasper: important for regaining balance and connection with the earth.

Green jasper: helps develop the ability to protect oneself.

Red jasper: known as the warrior stone, promotes action, courage, fighting spirit, determination, and willpower, helping the individual pursue their goals to the end and overcome any obstacle. Stimulates initiative. Strengthens honesty, promotes a confident and trusting attitude, eliminates guilt, and opens one up to love. It helps restore and maintain sexual balance.

How to use jasper

Jasper can be cleansed after use under running water. To achieve lasting effects on a spiritual level, it is recommended to always carry it with you in close contact with the skin or to apply it to the area being treated for physical therapy.
