I had a dream probably about a month ago now - the dream was rather simple, a rather far off voice repeating Danburite with an actual piece of Danburite in my hand, I kept turning it over & looking at it from all angles, it was really resonating with me, it was a slightly pinky peachy hue, but it definitely had a message for me. I woke in the morning - knowing I was going to source some Danburite pieces.
But why? Why did I dream of Danburite & what are its healing qualities that I or maybe someone who will read this needs?
I slept with my piece of Danburite under my pillow the first night, I had very busy dreams, a lot going on, when I woke in the morning I felt quite tired & there were a couple of shards that had broken off, so I do not recommend sleeping with it.
Since then it has been on my bedside table, I have been having the best sleeps, I haven't slept so much for a very long time, very deep sleeps, with great dream recall. So I then did a little research, I like to personally experience the crystal first, then I look at what others say it does, after a little research I found it is known for inducing lucid dreaming - so it's doing its job. I also did a post about patience on insta the other day & then found out later Danburite is good for promoting patience & peace of mind, so it definitely is having an influence on me - I am also a very emotional person & it seems to be balancing me out quite a bit, I'm not sweating the small stuff. All in all a big thank you to whoever was guiding me in my dream to get a piece of Danburite - its now a crystal I will be using a lot from now on!
]]>Until the other day one of my suppliers got some in, he pointed them out to me, I was underwhelmed by them of course due to my past experiences, but he said people were raving about them.. really? raving? I realised I had to try one, (these were a lot sturdier than my cheap purchase) I decided I had to research for myself as I am only going to sell things that I actually believe work.
I brought an Opalite facial roller, mainly because it stood out to me & well I love Opalite. I watched a youtube video on the best way to use it - I didn't want to be massaging my face wrong - and it turns out there is a bit of a technique due to the lymphatic drainage in our face its best to stroke from the middle of your face outward & then down your neck - it was weirdly satisfying, and I now find myself doing it a lot, especially when I am just sitting watching TV, its quite soothing & the roller itself is quite cooling to the face. But apart from feeling good are there benefits??
After a week of using my facial roller, I do actually feel like my skin looks more toned - maybe it is because the massaging circulates the blood, maybe its the Opalite? My skin is definitely feeling more taught, if you use it after you moisturise its suppose to help work the product in, so that's probably helping as well... As far as increasing collagen production I personally cannot claim it has done that, I wouldn't know how much I had before?
I have four on my site for sale now, if you haven't tried them already I can confidently say you wont be disappointed. If you have experiences with these good or bad I would love to know, please comment or send me a message!

Its often all about the energetic connection, once you pick up a crystal and you can't put it down... well you've brought it!
I know people love to go to a crystal shop to look at them & just soak up the gorgeous crystal vibes, hello that was me! But alas these days overheads are pretty scary & it just means you end up charging more, so there is definitely pros & cons.
The good thing I realised is that energy is not limited to touch, people can feel & get good vibes from your photos, and it's not too hard to take a reasonably good photo of a crystal, they do most of the work! or it can be down to your description you write, it might just be the right words to really strike a cord with someone.
The hard thing is I don't get to build a relationship with you, well not as easily, I want to be your trusted crystal guru lady, but I am just at my keyboard.. (surrounded by crystals I might add, so its not all bad) but it does make it a bit tricky..
One thing I can say is that when I had the rare opportunity to actually visit a mine, it really opened my eyes, these crystals have a destiny that none of us can predict, crystals travel to all the corners of the world, after sitting and growing in the depths of the earth for millions of years? Um wow!!
I still maintain if a crystal is meant for you, it will find you, whether its in a shop or out in cyberspace, and I can promise every crystal I choose is because I believe I am helping them get to where they are meant to be!
]]>My Mum would always give me $5 to spend on any crystal my heart desired.. I would always go the lucky dip route, sometimes you got nothing but Jasper (which is a perfectly good crystal) but sometimes your gamble paid off & you would get rather rare crystals.. One time I got a whole bunch of staurolite.. & when I learnt they were known as the fairy cross, well how excited was I, what a find!
The packages themselves were often wrapped in some sort of oddly patterned gift paper, and placed in big boxes so you could rifle down to the bottom, I would always try choose the one that felt the biggest (hence why I probably always got big bits of Jasper) which is actually one of my favourite stones now, so I will stop sounding disappointed about it.. Its just as a child I wanted the prettier ones, you know?
The cool thing is I ended up with such a good crystal collection, and with crystals that I wouldn't have necessarily picked myself, had I had the choice. Which is great because the crystals chose me! And when I look back now & read the many properties of the crystals, (yes I still have all of the crystals) it makes sense, I can see why that crystal was brought into my life, and it makes it so special!
So even though I am connecting with you guys on a website & unfortunately not at a giant gem show, I want to bring the excitement of the lucky dip back! I am thinking of doing a $10 - $15 lucky dip on the site & will put it out to the universe which crystals would be best for each individual person that purchases a lucky dip.
And I can promise you they won't all be jasper! (unless you're really meant to have some).

I slowly peered into the gap in my hands, it seemed to be a smooth pink heavy little egg, straight away I was in awe of it, its a special egg I whispered, yes Mum said its a Rose Quartz Crystal & it will look after you today, you will have no worries, you want even miss me.
I didn't even question it - it felt so special & magic, I knew it must be true.
The end of the day came before I knew it, and I ran to Mum with the biggest grin on my face, she asked how my day had been & I advised my day went really well, but for some of the other kids not so much, there was a lot of crying I explained, and then I Whispered "their Mum's don't know about magic crystals!"
That's when the love affair began.
I know I have written this like a story, but from the perspective of 5 year old me, it was a rather magical fairytale!
