The Mountain of Gems Ring with Pink Tourmaline, Amethyst, buy Tanzanite, Neon Blue Apatite and Chrome Diopside, One of a Kind Wearable Art!

This ring features a mound of gorgeous gemstone chips laid out like an asymmetrical mandala, with a little Pink Tourmaline like a cherry on top. It's big, bold, multicoloured and sure to spark many crystalline conversations! The base is an antique brass costume piece that I found in a local antique shop, and it originally had a champagne coloured plastic faux stone in the centre. I kept that and used it as a base for the mountain of tiny colourful gems.

(Side note: I would have kept this for my personal collection, but it's just a bit too big. I really hope it goes to someone with a bold style who loves to rock a statement ring!)

Pink Tourmaline (sometimes called "rubellite") is one of the most beautiful stones out there, and comes in a colour range from pale, almost cotton-candy pink to watermelon to nearly purple-red. As with all pink gems, Pink Tourmaline is a powerful enhancer of Love energy, and works exceptionally well on those who seek to awaken their ability to love more deeply through awakening the Anahata, Heart, Chakra. It's healing energy is ideal for those who have experienced heartbreak and seek to reawaken their self-love and ability to trust; when worn by someone caring, this quality also transfers by proxy to others who see or touch the gems. In The Book of Stones, Naisha Ahsian writes that Pink Tourmaline "stimulates feelings of joy, happiness and relaxation," making it an ideal gemstone for... well... everybody!

Blue Apatite is, in my opinion, one of the most gorgeous stones on the planet! Naturally deep to neon blue, it looks like a tropical sea solidified in the form of a gem. It's known by crystal healers as a powerful third eye talisman, worn for awakening psychic ability. In The Book of Stones, Naisha Ahsian praises buy Blue Apatite as a gem "to use in past life work, due to it's ability to lend access to the energy levels where the Akashic records exist." This makes it an ideal stone for those curious about their soul's journey, the lessons learned and patterns yet to be broken. When I worked as a professional Tarot Card reader, I regularly wore a Blue Apatite necklace for exactly this reason, and always felt a deep gratitude for the added awareness it radiates. When you wear Blue Apatite to awaken your own psychic potential, remember that the power of the stone is only accessed through your personal action and intention, so to get the full benefit, be sure to meditate, concentrate and focus your awareness on the Third Eye Chakra, located between the brows in the centre of the forehead. Blue Apatite makes a lovely gift for anyone who's interested in mystical work, shamanic journeying, clairvoyance, psychic power and aura reading.

Tanzanite is one of the rarest gems on the planet, and is found only in it's namesake Tanzania. Resonating with the Third Eye, it awakens clairvoyance and heightened perception in those who wear it, making it an ideal talisman for psychics, healers, intuitives and those who are beginning their journey of seeking. It's also developing a reputation as a romantic gem, since it deepens the depth of communication and opens our capacity to express intensity without self censorship. Wear it to go beyond the inner critic and start expressing your truest and most intense self.

Amethyst is considered precious to almost every culture and spiritual tradition on the planet, and has been used in sacred jewellery and ritual objects everywhere. Because of it's beautiful transparent purple colour, and the wide variety of shades of purple in which it forms, the beauty of Amethyst alone is enough to captivate us. But of course, the value of Amethyst is not just how it looks, but how it makes us feel. Amethyst is known by crystal healers and intuitive crystal practitioners to stimulate the crown chakra, also known as Sahasrara, the thousand-petalled lotus located at the top of the head. When the crown chakra is awakened, we experience deeper meditations, clearer spiritual communication, and a renewed gratitude for life. In The Book of Stones, Naisha Ahsian writes about Amethyst, "Its beautiful purple Light combined with its high, sweet energy makes Amethyst a necessary item in any Lightworker's toolbox."

Chrome Diopside is a master healer among crystals. Sending energy along the chakra column, it is said to activate the solar plexus, heart and third eye, aligning our will with our emotions and visions. This alignment helps in manifestation of all kinds, but especially facilitates our ability to act on dreams and goals that we often dismiss for fear of failure. When the Solar Plexus is aligned to the Heart, we are able to turn our compassion towards ourselves, and create the inner space needed to explore creativity and personal development. In The Book of Stones, Robert Simmons writes about Diopside, "It can bring all the chakras into alignment, and send the green ray of healing throughout the body and auric fiend." This green ray is the energy of love and light, and when we embody that energy, we become lightworkers, spreading positivity and good vibes wherever we go.
