This lovely gemstone power bracelet consists of 8mm aventurine gemstone beads accented with an additional 7 chakra beads. The stones are genuine, but the color has been enhanced in this line of power bracelets (the ones with the charms). In addition this bracelet is accented with a black and white yin yang symbol (the silver underneath is not sterling) and a few additional silver colored beads - one with a lotus and two plain round beads. Aventurine is a stone of prosperity (I used to put this one in my cash register too ;). It brings out
leadership qualities and decisiveness, promotes
empathy and compassion (after all, it is the color of the heart chakra), aids in emotional recovery and is an
all around healer (Per Judy Hall). For more information about aventurine and other gemstones and crystals see our
book section for Judy Hall's
Crystal Bible series - I have them all and they are amazing!
Additional beads include one for each of the seven chakras:
red = root chakra
orange = sacral (or navel) chakra
yellow = Solar Plexus chakra
green = heart chakra
Light blue = throat chakra
Dark blue = Third eye chakra
Purple = Crown Chakra
The yin yang symbol "represents the belief that everything in the Universe consists of two forces that are opposing, but complementary. Yin Yang philosophy states that "the Universe and everything in it are both constant and cyclical. In this infinite cycle, one force dominates and is then replaced by the opposing force" so everything remains in harmony and balance. Some qualities of yin: female, intuitive, creative, moon, dark, soft, night. Some qualities of yang: male active, logical, bright, sun, creation, hot (most info from feng-shui.lovetoknow.com)
***Please note Because each gemstone is unique in color and constitution, there may slight variations and there may be natural inclusions in the stones. This is normal and natural. Also be aware that we cannot account for differences in color based on each computer monitor, phone screen, etc. The product includes the bracelet only, other items are for décor only ♥
****I do not know the names of each of the chakra stones for this line of bracelets. I called the company, but they could not identify them. I believe the orange is carnelian, the light yellow is citrine, the light blue is turquoise and the purple is amethyst. However, this is not guaranteed. I am not sure about the red, green and dark blue beads. The additional silver colored beads are not sterling silver.
