A natural extension of my foray into minerals for healing, particularly with chronic lyme disease that triggers fibromyalgia pain, was learning about biomats! These wonderful mats are like heating pads taken to the next level. These are filled with pounds of amethyst crystals, which produce far-infrared waves that assist with healing. Take it from me: […]
Variscite is a hydrated aluminium phosphate mineral that is often confused with Turquoise. They can be apple green, deep green, or blue-green in color. It is also known as Utahlite because it is usually found in Utah in the USA, and around the world in Bolivia, Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, and Australia.. Variscite treats […]

Topaz is a silicate mineral. Topaz is an aluminium silicate fluoride hydroxide mineral that belongs to the silicate class of minerals. Most Topaz crystals are colorless, but the most abundant color range is green and blue color. The colours of topaz are created through the deposit in the growing process of other trace minerals. Yellow […]
Tiger Iron is sometimes called Iron Tiger Eye and is a rock combination of Tiger Eye, Jasper and Hematite. It therefore also holds the healing properties of all these stones.

Sunstone is a member of the Feldspar family, and is named for its warm shades of gold, orange, reds and browns that sparkle like the sun. Inclusions of Goethite or Hematite refract light between the different crystal layers and produce an iridescent effect as the stone is viewed from various angles. Sunstone may be clear […]
Sugilite is a relatively rare cyclosilicate of the Osumilite group, a potassium sodium lithium iron manganese aluminum silicate mineral. Its form is usually granular to massive, though rarely it forms in tiny prismatic crystals. It is named for Dr. Ken-ichi Sugi, a Japanese petrologist who discovered the first specimens in 1944 on Iwagi Islet, Japan. […]
Sodalite is a tectosilicate mineral. Typical colours – Rich royal blue, green, yellow, violet: mottled with white veins or patches. Sodalite is quite young in gemstone years. The deep blue mineral gemstone was not discovered until 1806, when it was found in Greenland. Even after the discovery of sodalite mineral stones, sodalite did not really […]
