Good Afternoon! It’s Thursday again, which means another chat about an interesting crystal or mineral. Today, we’re looking at a beauty that sent me down a rabbit hole, Sardonyx. The hole I fell into was about what it actually looks like. I bought a piece from a local shop but was skeptical.

Known as a stone of happiness, courage, and communication, Sardonyx is a combination of Onyx and Sard. Sard runs from red to reddish brown, while Onyx comes in several colors. My question was about the banding. One source said straight lines with slight curves, another said swirly. The first is correct.

I also learned that, like the piece I bought, some “Sardonyx” on the market isn’t genuine. One article even claimed it’s a combo of Carnelian and Onyx, but it’s not. While Carnelian and Sard are both Chalcedony, Sard is harder and a deeper red brown; Carnelian is more orange.

Tracking down first finds can be frustrating. In 1837, mineralogist J.D. Dana standardized the name, but he didn’t discover or name it. Sardonyx has a much older history, with use dating back to ancient Greece, Egypt, and Rome. Pliny the Elder even described it in Natural History.

Historically, the best Sardonyx comes from India, but it’s also found in Egypt, Uruguay, and Brazil. It sits at seven on the Mohs scale and resonates with the Root and Sacral chakras.

A few of the spiritual and metaphysical properties this stone offers:
• Root Chakra work gives strength, courage, and supports self-control.
• As a form of quartz, it boosts psychic ability.
• Pieces in home corners are said to block toxic energy; over doors and windows keep negativity from getting in.
• Working with the Sacral Chakra promotes confidence and comfort in challenging situations.
• Sardonyx is also said to enhance charisma.
• Placing a piece under your pillow is said to help you get a good night's sleep.

There’s so much more I could share, but I’m out of space. If Sardonyx resonates with you, I invite you to purchase a piece and work with it; you won’t be disappointed.

It’s easy to believe that life is something that happens to you, that circumstances, luck, or other people shape your life more than you do. But what if that’s not true?

What if you have control over your reality?

Your reality begins with thought. What you focus on grows. When you expect bad things to happen , you’ll see proof of it everywhere. When you start believing in possibility, doors open. It’s not magic, it’s awareness and focus. It’s you choosing to see life from a different perspective.

Control doesn’t mean forcing things to go your way; it means recognizing the influence you have on what could be. You can’t always change what happens, but you can decide how you respond to it, and that response shapes everything that follows. Your mindset, your language, and your choices are the tools that sculpt the world you experience.

What if reality isn’t something to be survived, but something you actively create every moment of every day? What if each thought, decision, and action is what creates your life?

Maybe the question isn’t whether you have control, but whether you’re ready to use it. What if you have control over your reality? What if…

Good morning and welcome to the Weekly Lenormand. This week’s guidance comes from three powerful cards from the Kalat Cards deck. They are Lightning, Ouija, and Thief.

The Lightning card brings sudden insight, breakthrough, or unexpected events that grab your attention. The Ouija highlights subtle messages and guidance that may not be correct. The Thief serves as a warning about energy drains, hidden motives, or something, maybe even someone, taking more than they give.

Together, these cards suggest that a sudden realization or intuitive message may reveal something that has been quietly draining your energy or resources. Truth may surface this week that helps you see a situation more clearly, allowing you to protect what matters and reclaim your focus.

Trust what you now see more clearly and pay attention. If something feels off, believe it and act on it. This is a week to guard your energy, act decisively, and take steps that support your goals and your wellbeing, even if that means walking away.

Have a great week ~ Sharon

Good Crystal Thursday Morning! This week, we’re discussing a recent discovery from New Zealand called Kiwi Jasper. Finding information about the first discovery was a bust beyond the fact that it was found in 2014, and that is so annoying! I would at least like to know who made the discovery and where it is in New Zealand.

Whoever discovered this beauty called it a Jasper, but it’s not a true Jasper. Kiwi Jasper is a semi-translucent combination of Amazonite, Tourmaline, and Quartz. The Mohs scale of hardness is seven, and the Chakra associations are with the Root, Heart, and Third Eye.

Kiwi Jasper is a very nurturing stone. Working with the Heart Chakra calms your emotions and helps you move into a place of peace when things get difficult. It opens your heart to love, compassion, and understanding.

A few other benefits working with Kiwi Jasper has to offer are:
• The combination of minerals is said to help overcome addictions and compulsive behaviors.
• Kiwi Jasper’s Quartz content transmutes negative energy, clears and aligns the Chakras, and stabilizes the aura.
• I haven’t worked with it in this way yet, but it is said to help recall dreams if put under your pillow or next to your bed at night.
• Kiwi Jasper is very supportive of new beginnings; it aids productive communication and increases determination.
There is so much more I could tell you, but unfortunately, I’ve run out of characters. If Kiwi Jasper resonates with you, I invite you to purchase a piece and work with it; you will not be disappointed.

Good morning and welcome to the Weekly Lenormand reading! This week’s guidance comes from the Old Style Lenormand: Clover, Moon, and Anchor.

The Clover brings luck, lighthearted energy, and surprises. It reminds us to stay open to opportunities that can lead to outstanding possibilities. The Moon highlights emotions, recognition, and intuition, encouraging you to trust your intuition and notice where you’re being seen and appreciated. The Anchor represents stability, endurance, and grounding energy, indicating your consistent efforts are paying off.

Together, these cards suggest a week of emotional balance, recognition, and fortunate developments that create lasting security. An opportunity or moment of inspiration could open the door to something more lasting and fulfilling.

Trust your intuition and embrace inspiration and opportunity as they come. Stay grounded while celebrating progress and know that joy and recognition this week can lead to long-term stability and confidence.

Have a great week

Good morning, this Crystal Thursday topic is Brown Kyanite. Finding information specific to this color was difficult. As a group, it’s found in a variety of colors, with blue being the most well-known. Colors other than blue are not well documented. Every source I consulted was about blue. Significant gaps exist, but happily, I was able to find a few things to share.

In one article, it is stated that geologist Joel Watkins found a large deposit of Brown Kyanite in the Southeast US in 1909. He and a partner, also a geologist, bought the land and began mining. Over time, the mine changed hands but is still in operation. In addition to the US, Brown Kyanite has been found in Brazil, Tanzania, and Switzerland.

While this is called Brown Kyanite, it’s more of an orangy-brown, translucent stone with glimmers of blue or green visible under the surface. Like other Kyanites, it has a Mohs scale on two axes. In one direction, it’s 4.5-5.5. In the other, it’s 6-7. This lovely mineral resonates with the Sacral and Root Chakras.

Kyanite, like all crystal and mineral families, holds a baseline set of spiritual and metaphysical qualities that all members share. In addition, each has its own based on color and chakra associations.

· The energy of Kyanite is about balance, alignment, and flow. As a group, it connects you to your higher consciousness and brings insights you’ve not recognized into focus. Brown Kyanite takes that information, grounds it, and assists in putting those insights into action.

· With Sacral and Root chakra associations, this luscious mineral focuses on motivation, creativity, and confidence. It helps you manifest your dreams by rekindling forgotten dreams and passions, gathering determination and focus into a plan that will make it happen.

There is so much more I could tell you, but unfortunately, I have run out of characters. If Brown Kyanite resonates with you, I invite you to purchase a piece and work with it; you will not be disappointed.

Blessed Be ~ Sharon
