Entering A New Consciousness with Crystals & Gemstones

I visited with Robert Simmons author of “The Book Of Stones” in September at Denver Gem Show. He was there with his company Heaven & Earth signing copies of his newest book, “Stones of the New Consciousness: Healing, Awakening & Co-creating with Crystals, Minerals & Gems”
 
Its always an enlightening experience talking with Robert as we share a passion for the Stone Beings. This year he introduced me to several new stones including Rosophia a stone he discovered just last year in New Mexico.  The name comes from the phrase “Rose of Sophia” meaning the “Heart of Wisdom”.  Robert tells the story of how he came to find this stone and the significance it has for him in his new book.
 
I had a very special visit with Robert several years ago. I owned a metaphysical gift store, “The Crystal Loft” in the Florida Keys.  Robert was on tour with his novel “Earthfire”.  He came down to the Keys to give a talk on his book and set up a “Trunk Sale” at our store, selling the high vibrational gemstones and jewelry Heaven & Earth carries.  Many synchronistic events occurred over the course of a few days and I will always remember that weekend as a very magical experience as we connected to the energies of gemstones, people and snakes! 
 
These are very special times to be working with the energies of crystals and gemstones  as they have much to offer us during these transformational years. >> Continue reading

I recently returned from a buying trip at Denver International Gem & Mineral show. Shopping at the Denver Gem show is like taking a trip around the world.  I visited gems dealers from all corners of the globe, many who hardly speak a word of english. They bring with them amazing and exquisite mineral specimens in all sizes and shapes.  This year was no exception.  Its like visiting a fine Mineral museum.  In fact this show is where many buyers from museums come to find additions to their collections. Some of these gifts from the mineral kingdom can literally take your breath away
 
Here is a list of just some of the things I purchased.
 
  • Blue Celestite from Madagascar
  • Seraphinite and Charoite from Russia
  • Shiva Lingams from India
  • Nuummite from Greenland ( 3 billon years old)
  • Lapis from Afghanistan
  • Blue Kyanite from Brazil
  • Brand new to market Orange Kyanite from Tanzania
  • Malachite from Africa
