A few weeks ago I felt the need to buy a crystal. I kept changing my bracelets and felt like something was missing. I mean, I didn’t have the crystal I needed then. I’m not good at crystals, I just go to the store or stall and the crystal calls to me. Then I read about him and realize why it called me. Or forget its name and just wear it. It’s mine, it’s a piece of me for a while, an integral part of my life experience, something I need. You get the idea. So, with the help of uncle Google, I start looking to see what inspires me. And my attention is captured by carnelian. Cool! I think, looking at the yellow-orange-brown stone on the screen, in all the shapes, shades and ways to wear the sunstone. So I go to the physical stone store, determined to buy myself something made from carnelian. The seller shows me a bracelet, a pendant, a raw stone, I take them in my palm… I don’t feel anything. Just some orange stones. While I was holding the orange stones in my hand, my attention was caught in a corner, where, hidden among the hundreds of pebbles, there were pendants, green hearts. I dropped the orange stones from my hand and, eyes wide and heart pounding, picked up a few of those pendants. They were the exact same shade of green I’ve been gravitating towards lately, which I created my new blog logo, which I put on my phone’s home screen, in short, I was obsessed with. I must not have had a very intelligent face then, because the saleswoman was looking at me strangely, probably thinking something not very flattering about me. She told me that was malachite and quickly shoved a catalog describing malachite under my nose, probably to avoid the same questions I had bombarded her with earlier, but about a completely different stone. I stayed a few more minutes until I chose the perfect combination of shades of green stripes that furrowed that little heart. And right there in the shop, I took off the evil eye pendant I was wearing and put on the malachite. I felt that this was the protection I needed, the green heart the color of the eyes of the clear sea, the challenge I needed now, to take the next step towards me. A powerful stone, throwing me into a hallucinatory carousel. I’ll have to be careful with one thing: it’s fragile, it can break into thousands of pieces. It should not be exposed to extreme conditions.
