Morganite

Morganite is a pink variety of Beryl, recently discovered in the 1900s, in California. It is known as the stone of “Divine love”. Bringing compassion, assurance, healing and promise to the wearer. This stone attracts an abundance of love and emboldens the love you have in your life to grow; encouraging thoughts of respect, compassion and consideration. Morganite is said to evoke feelings of joy, peace, confidence and inner strength, while also encouraging the fair treatment of others.

Ruby

The word ruby comes from the Latin word for “red”. It is one of the four cardinal gemstones, and has been sought after and worn by many ancient peoples. It was one of the main trading goods along the Silk Road in 200 BC, and used by royalty and nobles as ornamentation throughout the world. People in India believed rubies allowed you to live in peace with your enemies, and made you invincible in battle. In medieval Europe it was believed that rubies brought wisdom, health, wealth, and love. These past traditions combine and the ruby is known today as a stone of protection, prosperity and passion. A “leadership” stone, it is thought to bring confidence, vibrancy, a heightened awareness, increased concentration and courage. July Birthstone.

Tanzanite

Tanzanite is the purple and blue variety of Zoisite, and is only found in a small mining area at the base of Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, hence its name.  It has an effect of trichroism, where it can appear blue, violet and burgundy depending on its crystal orientation and different lighting.  Tanzanite is a stone of transformation; it lets you better know your deeper self, so you can move beyond your boundaries and limitations, harnessing your inner strength to achieve your goals.  This stone is also thought to encourage confidence, self-control, clarity of thought and strategic thinking.
