In addition: Agates are grounding stones, bringing about an emotional, physical and intellectual balance. Agate works slowly but brings great strength, by centring and stabilizing physical energy. Agate is known as a healer of inner anger, fostering love and the courage to start again. Agate creates a sense of safety and security by dissolving internal tension.
Blue Lace Agate is a wonderful healing stone. Its soft energy is cooling and calming, bringing peace of mind. It is particularly effective for activating and healing the throat, allowing free expression of thoughts and feelings. It also counteracts the repression and suppression of feelings that stem from a fear of being judged and rejected. Judgment is often present in the parent-child relationship, both in childhood and adulthood. As a result, feelings are held back and the lack of self-expression blocks the throat and may affect the chest with a feeling of suffocation. Blue Lace Agate gently dissolves the old pattern of repression and encourages a new mode of expression.

Hematite

Source: Britain, Italy, Brazil, Sweden, Canada, Switzerland.
Colour: Silver, red or grey when unpolished; shiny when polished.

Hematite is particularly effective at grounding and protecting. It harmonizes mind, body and spirit. Used during out-of-body journeying, it protects the soul and grounds it back into the body. This stone has a strong yang element and balances the meridians, redressing yin imbalance. It dissolves negativity and prevents negative energies from entering the aura, restoring peace and harmony to the body. Hematite helps you to come to terms with mistakes and to accept them as learning experiences rather than disasters.

Earrings: Sterling silver headpin needle and earring ear hook clasp; the total length is 29mm long.
