Pandemic fatigue is real. Feeling any these symptoms?
Exhaustion
Chronic stress
Sore eyeballs
Despair or depression
Anxiety
Uncertainty about the future
Burnout
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I can say with complete and utter candor that I've been feeling all of these - I crashed hard this past month, and my energy still hasn't come fully back on line.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That's why I've been quieter here than usual...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My loves, please take care of yourselves. Self-care matters, yes, but so does holding on to the light and pushing back at the darkness.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wear any of these combos daily to help you, you can mix it up by wearing some, meditating with others, sleeping with a few. Let your crystal allies help + support you:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fatigue/exhaustion: citrine (natural) + green aventurine
Depression/despair: rose quartz + moonstone
Sore eyeballs: place selenite or scolecite on closed eyelids
Stress/anxiety: black tourmaline + blue lace agate
Burnout: chrysocolla + ocean jasper
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I tuned in to the energy frequencies of what I see passing through our collective right now, these were the crystals that responded. However, trust your own guidance or intuition, work with what you feel most strongly drawn to at this time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The crystals always know, and so does your soul 🙏🏻

Aqua Aura Quartz has a very high and intense vibration. It has been used to activate the energy of other minerals and gemstones for healing work, and can be a potent stone when used in body layouts for activation of the Chakras. It can be success fully applied to smooth and heal the Auric field, and to release negativity from one's emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual bodies. Wearing Aqua Aura is said to help one to shine with one's inner beauty, to attract wealth and success, to bring forth esoteric wisdom, to relieve depression & anxiety, and to assist in creating an aura of peace & well being in oneself and one's surroundings. It is a stone of spiritual elevation, which can serve to help raise the vibration of humanity.

Toxic Stones Alert! And a page to bookmark for future reference!
https://www.healingcrystals.com/Crystal_Safeguards_Articles_1009.html
Our page contains geological data that cautions one when using certain types of crystals/minerals. While most in the metaphysical/spiritual community only speak of the higher purpose properties, common sense must be taken into consideration when using these on a physical level. This page is a cautionary measure on stones that may be harmful in certain situations or specific types of minerals (raw versus tumbled, Fibrous versus crystallized or mass), whether it be in Elixirs or prolonged holding, bathing, touching to skin, etc.
It is not meant to perpetuate fear or anxiety, but instead to educate and share our deep respect for the crystal and mineral kingdom. Most on the list are geared toward internal use with a few being cautionary for external use. A good rule of thumb is to make sure you wash your hands after using any crystal/mineral. It keeps our mineral friends clean and is a great way to show respect to ourselves and our crystal/mineral family.
Pay particular attention to the list when you are working with raw/natural specimens. I do not think tumbled (coated) stones, for the most part, would be harmful, with a few exceptions, such as Realgar.
NOTE: Before making any elixir or charging any water, it is a good idea to double check for any possible toxicity that may occur, if using several stones in combination, for elemental reactions between the stones. In fact, it would be best if each stone charges in its own container of water as opposed to putting four or five stones in the same container.
*If you have any doubt (or are new to crystals and their chemical composition), simply place the crystal/stone around and outside of the container. You will still get the same results.*

Meditative Mandalas: These Tumbled Tourmaline stones are a mixture of light and dark Tourmaline, mostly Black, Green and Pink Tourmaline. These small tumbled stones can be placed on an altar or poured into a small offering bowl. They are also very helpful in the gridding process and would make a nice addition to one's medicine bag.
Tourmaline is a very popular metaphysical stone as it is a great healer of the mental processes that can often lead to disease. Tourmaline does this by bringing an understanding of the inherent perfection of the universe, despite what may be occurring in the 3D reality of one's life. All Tourmaline is thought to balance the left and right hemispheres of the brain. Many use Tourmaline to balance the chakras and subtle energy systems.

Artigas in Uruguay is noted for the producing the best Zorillos or skunks in the world. These are formed when amethyst quartz grows in crystallographic orientation with calcite crystals. The amethyst is seen as purple stripes on contrasting white calcite crystals. In the very finest examples, a striped calcite rests on the highest grade of amethyst. A great example has not been found in a number of years. The illustrated specimen measures 8.5 inches across and is in perfect condition. It is a specimen to be treasured for its great color, association, form, rarity and perfection.

BLACK TOURMALINE -- Purification
When Black Tourmaline appears in your cards, it is encouraging you to undertake a ritual of purification. Perhaps you are holding onto old patterns that no longer serve you.
Or maybe you have been exposed to energies that are preventing you from being centered and focused. It is time now to take a spiritual bath, to cleanse your aura and regain a sense of your center and your personal energy.
Call upon the energies of Black Tourmaline. Allow yourself to sense this Ally with you as you transmute any density within your aura or environment into pure, clean, high energy that is available for you to use once again.
If you are experiencing difficulty in connecting with your guidance, try a ritual of purification before you meditate. Take a bath or shower as you focus upon the water cleansing your energy. Take a ritual sweat in a sauna or sweat lodge, or smudge yourself and the room with burning herbs or incense.
When you purify your self and release any obsolete thoughts, beliefs, worries, or resentments, you are making room in your life for spiritual gifts to be received.
Chakra: Root
Affirmation: My energy is free from
outside influences. I am centered and clear.
