Whether you're celebrating one of the recognized love holidays or taking time to unofficially honor someone you love, stones can play a powerful role in expressing your feelings.
Unlike the perishable gifts of candy or flowers, a stone set in a pendant or ring and given as a gift is a lasting symbol of love for those who are special in our lives. The right stone used in the right way can, however, be more than a symbol. It can be used to enhance, support, repair and even create those loving relationships. Regardless of the goal, it's important to select the right stone for the right occasion and the right person.
WHO GETS WHICH STONE?
It's Mother's Day. You've found a couple of beautiful pendants you think she would like. One has a beautiful moldavite stone in the center. The other pendant features a morganite stone. Both stones are beautiful and both support love. How do you decide which one to buy? It depends on your relationship and your intent. The moldavite stone activates the base chakra and can increase fertility. The morganite stone opens the heart chakra, encourages loving thoughts, deepens a loving relationship, and calms a stress-filled life. Either might be appropriate depending on your relationship.
A Mother's Day stone for a life partner will likely be romantic. A Mother's Day stone for your mom on the other hand will be neither of those things. Who you love and how you love them will help determine the correct stone.
