Hello, beautiful souls! What a stunning day we have today. I adore this time of year when the days are still, crisp, and calm, creating a truly special atmosphere. It’s as if nature is urging us to pause, breathe deeply, and savor the beauty that surrounds us, allowing us to release our fears and worries.

Today, I’d like to delve into the captivating world of the Desert Rose crystal, a remarkable gemstone that embodies the harmonious blend of nature’s gifts. These crystals are natural rosette formations composed of gypsum or baryte, sand, and water, meticulously formed over thousands of years through the process of evaporation in arid conditions. Often referred to as “sand roses,” these delicate, flower-like crystals are predominantly found in the Sahara Desert (Tunisia and Algeria), Oklahoma, USA, Mexico, and Qatar.

Historically, it is believed that each Desert Rose crystal housed a protective spirit guardian, making them highly regarded as talismans for shamans and travelers. In Native American legend, one captivating tale suggests that these crystals were intricately carved by warriors who had returned from the spirit world and spread them across the Earth as a means of safeguarding their homeland. Regardless of their origin, these fragile, wind-sculpted crystals are simply awe-inspiring to behold, and their energy is truly remarkable.

So, how can you harness the beauty and positive energy that reside within each Desert Rose crystal today? Embrace their presence, let their beauty inspire you, and allow their energy to uplift your spirit.

Desert Rose: Balance – Mental Clarity - Purification
Desert Rose is a unique and natural crystal formed from a combination of water, sand and wind. It brings mental clarity by helping to rid the mind of fear, confusion, doubt and other distractions. By neutralizing that energy, one is able to receive guidance from their intuition with ease. Desert Rose helps one remain grounded and balanced during meditation, allowing one to connect with their higher self and reach a deep meditative state. Desert Rose is also considered a lucky stone as it combines the powers of Father Sky and Mother Earth, bringing abundance and success to the wearer.

We have a few beautiful pieces in store at both Wellington and Levin, so come in and find your perfect piece today! Or find that perfect crystal that is calling you.

Hello, beautiful souls! Today marks our last day of March, and the weather is absolutely beautiful and calm. The clear blue sky reminded me of our lovely Blue Apatite, which I thought we should explore today. Blue Apatite is a phosphate mineral that comes in various colors. It was officially identified and named in the late 18th century (1786) by German geologist Abraham Gottlob Werner. Interestingly, its name comes from the Greek word “apatao,” meaning “to deceive,” because it was often mistaken for other gems like beryl and topaz. The name also has a connection to Apate, the Greek goddess of deceit, who was one of the spirits released from Pandora’s box. So, how can we incorporate this beautiful gem into our lives today?

Blue Apatite: Motivation – Communication - Humanitarianism
Blue Apatite is a stone of manifestation and promotes a humanitarian attitude, inclining one towards service. Blue Apatite is attuned to the future yet connects to past lives. It develops psychic gifts and spiritual attunement, deepens meditation, and aids communication and self-expression on all levels. Blue Apatite is said to increase motivation and encourages extroversion. Stimulating creativity and the intellect, Blue Apatite clears confusion and helps one access information to be used personally and for the collective good.

Come and see the many varied shapes and patterns that make up this wonderful crystal and find your piece today. I will be at the Wellington store, and the lovely Julie will be at the Levin store. We look forward to seeing you.

Crystal Blessings,
Susan

Hello Beautiful Souls, welcome to Friday! With March on its way out the door, April is just around the corner – so today I thought we would look at a wonderful crystal called Amazonite.

Amazonite, a vibrant green-blue microcline feldspar, has been treasured for over 10,000 years, with its history spanning from Stone Age jewelry to prominent use in ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilizations. Known as the "Stone of Courage" and "Stone of Hope," it was used in King Tutankhamun's treasures, Sumerian seals, and is believed to have been named in 1847 by August Breithaupt. Ancient Egyptians highly revered amazonite and it was carved into amulets, beads, and jewelry. It was often placed in tombs and was used to craft tablet chapters for the Book of the Dead. A famous scarab ring found in King Tutankhamun’s tomb is made of amazonite.

It’s beautiful green-blue hue is mesmerizing, so how do we use this beautiful crystal today?

Amazonite: - Communication – Calmness - Balance
Amazonite is known as the ‘Stone of Truth’ and deeply stimulates the throat chakra. It empowers one to express their thoughts and feelings and move beyond fear of judgement or confrontation with others. Amazonite assists one in setting strong and clear boundaries, both internally as self-discipline, and externally on what one is willing to experience from others. Amazonite is a soothing stone. It calms the brain and nervous system and aids in maintaining optimum health. Balances the masculine and feminine energies. Amazonite helps you to see both sides of a problem or different points of view. It soothes emotional trauma, alleviating worry, and fear. Dispels negative energy, aggravation, and blockages within the nervous system. Amazonite assists in manifesting universal love.

We have some beautiful, polished, and rough pieces available online at https://www.capricornspirit.com or in-store at both our Wellington and Levin stores. Come in and explore our lovely crystals; who knows, you might just find your perfect piece!

Hello, beautiful souls! What a gorgeous day to begin our week! This morning, as I entered my office to think about today’s writing topic, I was captivated by a mesmerizing flash from the little Labradorite that sits on my desk. It seemed to be whispering, “Pick me, show them my beautiful flash.” So, today, let’s embark on a journey to explore the wonders of Labradorite.

Labradorite is a striking iridescent feldspar mineral first discovered in the 1770s on the Isle of Paul near Labrador, Canada, by Moravian missionaries. Known for "labradorescence" (a vibrant play of color), it was historically linked to Inuit folklore, which believed the stone held frozen fire from the Northern Lights. Norse stories similarly connected the stone's, shimmering, iridescent nature to the Bifrost Bridge (the rainbow bridge connecting Earth with Asgard), believing the bridge was made from labradorite. So how do we use this magical stone today?

Labradorite: Awakening – Intuition - Protection
Labradorite is known as the ‘Bringer of Light’ and is a highly mystical and protective crystal. It raises one’s consciousness and connects them to universal energies. Labradorite forms a protective barrier, deflecting negativity and unwanted energies from both the aura and home. It stimulates intuition, enhances psychic abilities, and aids one in their spiritual journey. Labradorite is a crystal of transformation and is particularly beneficial for periods of change by imparting one with strength, courage and perseverance.

I have a discussion video from a wee while ago on Labradorite for those of you who wish to know more about this magical stone. Or if you are out and about in Wellington or Levin, we have some stunning pieces instore, so come and find your piece of magic today!

Hello Beautiful Souls, welcome to the weekend! Sometimes the week can really take it out of you, leaving you feeling foggy or drained. Today we are going to look at a crystal that super-charges your mind and re-energise your body and intentions, Quartz! This beautiful crystal works so hard for us in so many ways.

Quartz has been used for over 9,000 years, with evidence of its use in tools, jewelry, and talismans dating back to 7000 BCE in Mesopotamia. Ancient Greeks and Romans believed clear quartz was permanently frozen water, with Greek philosophers calling it krustallos (the origin of "crystal"). Throughout the Middle Ages, mystics and healers used quartz in potions and charms, believing it could ward off evil. So how do we use it today?

Clear or White Quartz: Balance – Clarity - Healing
Clear or White Quartz is known as the ‘Master Healer’. It is a powerful crystal that can be programmed to address and manifest any intention, whether it be physical, emotional, or spiritual. One of the best ways to experience the power of Quartz is to use it to help amplify your personal intentions – decide what you want and use your crystal to magnify your intention until it manifests. Quartz balances all the chakras, clears stagnant energy, and opens the heart and mind to higher guidance. It is also excellent for concentration by allowing one to focus and think clearly. You need to be careful with Quartz and remember it is an amplifier so will amplify negative energy as well as positive.

If you’re wandering around, feel free to come in and see us. The Capricorn Spirit invites you to enjoy our sacred space and experience some crystal energy.

Come on in to the Wellington store , or visit Julie at the Levin store. We look forward to seeing you.

Hello, beautiful souls! The weather outside is looking lovely and calm. Many of you have seen the video of me playing crystal bowls to clear and move negative energy around them, infusing the shop with the wonderfully energizing energy you all feel when you come in.

The earliest metal bowls date back 5,000 years to Mesopotamia. Bronze and brass technologies were used to create sound-producing vessels in the Himalayan region for thousands of years. Locally known as dabaka or bata in Nepal, these bowls were initially utilitarian kitchen vessels. Their use spread across Tibet, India, and China for domestic, musical, and spiritual purposes. By the 8th century, they became integral to Tibetan Buddhist meditation and chanting, believed to balance chakras, clear negative energy, and facilitate deep meditation.

If you’re curious, we have numerous sizes in store. If you want to experience the energy flow when playing a singing bowl, come and have a look and give it a try! Alternatively, come and soak up the beautiful crystal energy—who knows, you might just find that special piece you’ve been looking for.

Crystal Blessings,
Susan
