Gotta love those unique finds!

So you're pottering around a second hand store or charity shop when suddenly you notice glimmering from the corner of your eye. You turn to see what that shiny thing was that caught your attention. On closer inspection you find this item in the photograph below.

At first you question the authenticity of the item. "Surely an item of this nature couldn't exist in a charity shop, an avid crystal healing enthusiast would have picked it up by now so it must be a fake!" But something tells you otherwise, almost like this feeling in your stomach or voice in your head is telling you to take it.

You put it back down on the table and decide that this is not worth the £6 price tag and walk out of the shop still wondering "what if I brought it". Well its too late for you because you decided to pick it up instead. Ha ha ha.

When I saw this I was in awe. I was in my element identifying the healing properties of the crystals, the symbology and geometry that's present in this beautifully crafted and well thought out piece of jewellery. All kinds of emotions welled up inside of me with some taking me back to my woodcarving days.

Embedded in the metal are 7 faceted amethyst crystals with a single smoky quarts in the centre. These crystals are commonly used for anxiety and depression though it's not their only purpose. However, I'm inclined to believe this amulet has been crafted with the purpose to protect and purify its wearer.

Still something like this is an incredible find and you can guarantee I'll be on the lookout for more of these amulets to support me in my spiritual career path.

Are you an avid crystal geek like me or do you just enjoy having shiny rocks around you. Heck perhaps a bit of both. Whatever the case I'd love to hear what your favourite crystals are in the comments below.

Until next week.
