The Four Seasons Tree

This is my newest piece and I think it turned out quite well.
Each stone represents a season as well as having their own healing qualities.

Winter is a pretty Moonstone. I've covered this stone extensively in a previous post but moonstone carries lunar energy and help us of a sensitive nature to balance emotional upsets and is said, when worn as a amulet or pendant to bring good emotions to the wearer. It also eases stress and anxiousness.

Spring is a beautiful mix of Aguamarine and Blue lace agate which is actually a powder soft lavender color. I chose these colors to represent this season because they remind me of those wonderful spring flowers!
Aquamarine improves one’s overall sense of well-being. Some suggest that aquamarine is used to treat people for whom procrastination is an affliction. It is believed that one who wears aquamarine has a better ability to think clearly and make quick decisions. It also increases one’s access to courage.

I chose a lovely Aventurine to represent summer with all of it's green and alive splendor.
Aventurine has the ability to ground an individual emotionally, allowing for thought that is free of fear, troubled emotions, indecisiveness, and anxiety. This clarity of mind and self confidence that result from wearing this powerful stone energize, inspire, motivate and enhances your ability to relate to others on an emotional level.

For Autumn I chose a stunning, genuine Baltic Amber.
Amber is a powerful healer. At a physical level, it fills the body with vitality and has the power to draw disease out of the body. By absorbing pain and negative energy, the gemstone allows the body to rebalance and heal itself. It alleviates stress.

Baltic amber is warm to touch. This gem possesses electrostatic properties, and continues to be utilized for healing purposes. The unusually great power this gem is embedded in its ability to produce negative ions that affects man by easing pain, activating the healing process, and providing protection from harmful radiation.

Many blessings to you all!

Aquamarine

Aquamarine is the birthstone for March and also just happens to be my two oldest sons stone, born within 3 days of each other although many years apart.

Aquamarine improves one’s overall sense of well-being and courage. It's color reminds me of summer and the beach.
When I was a child I spent my summers on the beach with a family member. Waking up, even before opening my eyes, and smelling the air and hearing the waves is this color to me.

It's other healing properties range from thinking clearly and making quick decisions to promoting spiritual and psychic awareness, brings about core soul repair and healing us deeply.
I think that each of us could use a little soul repair and healing as there are broken pieces and weariness in us all, from the inside out.
