Tucson Gem Show - malas in the making

First and foremost I hope my note finds you breathing deeply with peace, purpose and joy.

The Tucson Gem show is wrapping today and has been remarkable once again. The mineral and fossil kingdom is communicated here in every conceivable way. Imagine the history and knowledge these ancient crystals would have been witness to. So much wisdom that invites us to break through our obstacles and feel propelled by the power and beauty of our own lives.

Seeing the gemstones in their raw nakedness allows me to appreciate the properties of the gem beads all the more.

I'll be back in the studio mid week and we will begin the new malas within the next couple of weeks with great anticipation. I found most of the stones that were requested and then some nice surprises. If you requested special stones for a mala I'll be in touch when they arrive on Canadian soil. I found beautiful quality amethyst, rose quartz, moonstone, lapis, kyanite, citrine, apatite, amazonite, onyx, picture jasper, kunzite, labradorite, and yellow opal. I'm ecstatic to see these beads turned into malas. I will also bring back more shungite pyramids and the best palo santo you'll ever find.

sending you as always, love, a lotus and a smile,

Gisele

This amethyst geode made me feel very small in all ways... Thank you Naomi for being a remarkable companion on the quest for stones. xo Naomi specializes in opals and compliments them in very organic designs . Having seen the stunning opals she acquired and the love of creating I'll look forward to see what evolves. http://opalwingcreations.com/
