We received some of the most incredible blue aquamarine crystals in our last shipment from Africa, from the Erongo Mountains in Namibia. The crystals are bright aqua blue in color, most being bright and gemmy, with occasional hues of green. These aquamarines have a strong emotional energy helping you express and work through grief, allowing you to find your joy once again. Their strong action in the throat chakra helps to fight infections such as strep throat and tonsillitis. Many of these bright gems also have a yellow cap of heliodor, the yellow variety of beryl. These crystals bring a strong solar plexus energy helping you to counter fears, lending you strength when you need it the most. Some crystals even have black tourmaline adding a layer of protective energy for when you feel the most vulnerable. There is a strong healing energy that radiates wisdom that come through experience. These crystals are old spirits and it is reflected in their energy.

This little crystal has some inclusions of matrix, giving it a rough appearance, but the energy is smooth and bright. It has a nice pale blue green color with a bright yellow cap.

The crystal measures 0.6" x 0.3" x 0.25".

Heliodor is the yellow variety of beryl, related to aquamarine, emerald and morganite. Its golden yellow color is caused by iron inclusions and can sometimes have a faint green hue. Heliodor is Greek for “gift of the sun” due to its bright golden hues. Its energy is vibrant instilling you with energies that lift the spirit. It radiates with optimism and helps you to feel the power you have to effect changes in your life. It bolsters your self-reliance and determination. Its energy strengthens the physical body, helping you absorb nutrients from the foods you eat and aids in digestion. This also helps to increase your physical energy.

Aquamarine emits a gentle and compassionate energy, exhibiting moderation. It is a "stone of courage" aiding one to rapidly respond to the situations at hand. It helps judgmental people to be more tolerant, and can help one who is "swamped" by responsibility to bring order to the process.
