Looking for that special gift to put in someone’s Christmas stocking, give as a grab bag gift, give to a friend or even to yourself? Gemstones and crystals make the perfect gift for everyone. Every type of stone has specific meanings and purposes that are shared from the stone to the person who receives it.
Whether you go with stones of tradition, such as Lapis Lazuli and Goldstone, or choose for the sheer joy of the stone for the Holiday Season, you can’t go wrong with any of the following stones.
Lapis Lazuli is a stone of total awareness and an excellent gift for someone looking to enhance their intuition. A beautiful stone for helping to overcome sadness or depression while bringing forward states of serenity and self-acceptance. Some say it brings cheer and success to relationships. It aids in balancing the yin-yang energies to bring equilibrium to any situation.
Goldstone is known by many as the stone of ambition through building energy, courage and a positive attitude. It brings vitality and increases confidence. Through its beautiful gold color you can see how it represents power and the fire of creativity. It inspires and transmutes thoughts into manifestation. Sometimes known as a warrior stone it is a good stone to have if you are embarking on a new journey.
Quartz crystals are known as the stone of power. They are highly prized as a healing stone that harmonizes and aligns human energies as it absorbs negative energies, thus purifying the physical, mental and spiritual bodies. The heart chakra attunes well to quartz crystals and they can also be used to activate the crown chakra. It’s a beautiful energy to enhance the spirit of Christmas as it enhances positive thoughts and feelings towards all beings and the planet.
