Some specimens of peridot can even appear in meteorites called pallisites and found during volcanic activity on the island of Oahu in Hawaii.

History: The Egyptians mined peridot on the island of Zebirget, which is located in the Red Sea. Egyptians used the gem for over 4,000 years and was even said to be Cleopatra’s favorite. It is regarded as a sacred stone during Medieval times and was even used in the design of the Shrine of the Three Kings in Germany. Peridot crystals found in the black volcanic sands of Hawaii are said to be the tears of the Goddess, Pele. Now most of the world’s peridot comes from Arizona or Pakistan.

Talisman:

Social Media Talisman

Peridot ring, worn on the hand you scroll with

Chalice

Moon water

1 small piece fresh or dried valerian root

1 fresh lemon slice

Cleanse and empower your ring with the ability to dispel feelings of envy and inadequacy.

Gather your materials in a sunny area during a waning moon.

Fill the chalice with moon water.

Take the valerian root in your hand and hold it in the direct sunlight.

Say, “Valerian root that calm sting, add self-assurance to my ring.” Visualize it absorbing the sun and pulsing with a gentle, light. Place it in the chalice.

Hold the lemon slice up to the sun, feeling the illumination and bright energy coming from it.

Say, “Bright yellow lemon with a bite, filter that which befalls my sight.”

Squeeze the lemon slice so the juice goes into the chalice.

Now the chalice holds a soothing brew imbued with calm from the valerian, confidence from sunlight, and optimistic realism from the lemon.

Put the peridot ring in the chalice and let it sit in the sun for about an hour.

Retrieve your peridot ring from the chalice and wear it. Pour the water into the earth.

The ring help ground you in reality while filtering your impressions of what you consume on social me protecting your self-confidence and dispelling any feelings of jealousy or inadequacy.

Perform this spell in direct sunlight, if possible, to illuminate the truth and soothe uncertainty. If you don’t have a chalice, use a bowl, or any kind of cup. Moon water is water that has been left outdoors under the full moon to absorb its power.

What are the different origins of ruby gemstone?

Ruby, the fiery king of gemstones, boasts a rich history and diverse origins. Here's an exploration of the captivating corners of the world where these precious stones are unearthed:

The Classic Source: Myanmar (Burma): For centuries, Myanmar (formerly Burma) has been the benchmark for rubies. The Mogok Valley, nestled in the country's northern mountains, is legendary. Geological conditions there created exceptional rubies known for their intense color saturation, purity, and a coveted "pigeon blood" red hue. While political unrest has limited access to these mines in recent years, some exceptional stones still emerge from this region.

The Rise of African Rubies: Africa has become a major player in the ruby market. Mines in Mozambique, Madagascar, and Tanzania are yielding impressive stones. These rubies can display a vibrant red color with a slight orange or purple undertone, distinct from the Burmese rubies. The African ruby market is known for its excellent clarity and larger gem sizes.

Asian Ruby Treasures: Beyond Myanmar, Asia boasts other ruby sources. Thailand, particularly the Chanthaburi province, has a long history of ruby mining. These Thai rubies often have a darker, more brownish-red hue compared to their Burmese counterparts. Sri Lanka, known for its sapphires, also produces some rubies, with a slightly pinkish tinge.

Beyond the Usual Suspects: Rubies can also be found in less common locations like Afghanistan, Pakistan, and even North Carolina in the United States. These regions typically produce smaller quantities of rubies, and the quality can vary.

Unearthing the Perfect Ruby: The origin of a ruby can influence its value and characteristics. Burmese rubies, with their legendary quality and limited availability, often command a premium price. African rubies offer a compelling alternative with their vibrant color and larger sizes.

Ruby: The July Birthstone

Ruby is the July birthstone. The gemstone's name comes from the Latin word "ruber," which means red. Quality rubies are rarer than diamonds with the finest stones found in Burma (Myanmar). However, they are also mined in Afghanistan, Australia, Cambodia, India, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Thailand, Vietnam, and the US.

Ruby Stone Healing Properties

Ruby gemstones are renowned for their fiery red hues and powerful energy that ignites passion, vitality, and courage within the wearer. As a stone of vitality and strength, rubies stimulate the root chakra, promoting a sense of vitality and grounding while energizing the body and mind.  In addition to their physical benefits, rubies are believed to bolster emotional resilience, courage, and determination. They inspire confidence, enthusiasm, and a zest for life, empowering individuals to pursue their passions and overcome obstacles with grace and resilience.

Why “The Stolen Kohinoor Diamond” Won't Make An Appearance At King Charles III's Coronation

— May 4, 2023 | By Lauren Frayer

The Kohinoor diamond, set in the Maltese Cross at the front of the crown made for Britain's late Queen Mother Elizabeth, is seen on her coffin at London's Westminster Hall.

LONDON — Of all the glittering British crown jewels, one will be conspicuously absent at King Charles III's coronation: the Kohinoor diamond.

Legend has it the 105-carat diamond — whose name means "mountain of light" in Persian — was found on a bank of the holy Krishna River in southern India at least 800 years ago. From there, the story goes, it spent centuries hidden inside a golden statue at a Hindu temple.

It passed through Mughal, Persian, Afghan and Sikh empires before ending up in the hands of Queen Victoria in the mid-19th century.

Along the way, people came to believe it was cursed. Calamity is said to have struck many a male royal who wore it. One strapped the diamond to his bicep. Another folded it into his turban. Most met grisly deaths — murdered, betrayed, defeated.

So it's thought that only women — especially queen consorts — can wear the Kohinoor safely. Elizabeth, the wife of King George VI, wore it to her coronation in 1937, and again to her daughter Elizabeth II's in 1953. (There is no known record of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the diamond).

According to tradition, King Charles III's wife Camilla would be the next to wear the jewel at this weekend's coronation ceremony. But she will wear a different crown, one with 2,200 smaller diamonds.

That's because the Kohinoor has become a focus of anti-colonial anger. India wants the diamond back.

And it's not alone. So do several other nearby countries — including Iran and Afghanistan — whose own royals and rulers, over the centuries, possessed the diamond. For now, though, the British royal family has no intention of parting with the giant gemstone.

The museum where it's kept on display, in the Tower of London, is a popular destination for South Asian tourists.

"I've learned my best swears in front of the Kohinoor, in three different languages," says historian Anita Anand, the coauthor of Kohinoor: The History of the World's Most Infamous Diamond. "Every time you bring someone over from India or Pakistan, they just swear at it! Swear at the fact that it's here."

After Queen Elizabeth died last year, the Indian government said it has repeatedly raised the issue of repatriating the Kohinoor with the British government.

And this winter, Buckingham Palace made an announcement: The royal family had decided to leave the controversial gem out of the coronation ceremony for Charles and Camilla.

For now, it remains locked in the Tower of London, advertised as a "symbol of conquest" — firmly on British soil.

A Diamond the Size of a Coconut

Centuries before humans began mining diamonds deep underground, gems were only discovered after working their way up to the Earth's surface. And one of the places they seemed to do that most was the area of the Golconda alluvial mines, in southern India.

That's where, 800 or so years ago, someone went to take a bath in the Krishna River and apparently stumbled upon the biggest diamond then known in the world. Legend has it that it was the size of a coconut.

"People used to go to the rivers and take baths, and there were no soaps or cosmetics at the time, so they used the wet clay next to the riverbanks and applied it to their bodies," explains Mohan Devarapalli, 32, who gives Kohinoor-themed tours in southern India. "So while [collecting] the clay, they found the diamond."

They considered it a gift from the holy river and took it to their rulers, the 12th century Hindu kings of the Kakatiya dynasty. At the time, India was full of warring states, and the kings needed to keep their diamond safe.

So they hid it in plain sight — inside the eye socket of a large golden statue of the Hindu goddess Durga, in a temple that's still in use today, on the edge of a lake in the modern-day city of Warangal. One eye was glass, the other was diamond. But they looked identical.

"One of the [goddess'] eyes was the diamond, which no one knew — except the kings — because it looked like glass. Even the priests, they would not have known it," Devarapalli says. "It was a top-secret place to hide the diamond."

It worked — for a couple of centuries, at least.

The Diamond Becomes an Object of Violent Conquest

Rumors spread about this giant diamond guarded by a goddess. And when the Kakatiya dynasty was vanquished, around the 14th century, invaders from the north pillaged all the temples in the region and captured the gemstone.

"It's the nearest thing to the ring of power in Lord of the Rings. Whenever it goes, it stirs up anger, greed, murder and bloodshed!" says historian William Dalrymple, Anand's coauthor.

Experts have confirmed from the diamond's geology that it did come from the Golconda area of southern India.

The opulence of Shah Jahan's court was a marvel in 17th century India. The Mughal emperor embedded the Kohinoor diamond in the Peacock Throne, his seat of power. Pictures from History/Getty Images

"But beyond that, its history is enormously disputed," Dalrymple says. "There's almost no record of it until it's on the top of the Peacock Throne, which is built in the 1640s by Shah Jahan, who's the same guy who built the Taj Mahal."

By the 17th century, much of India had been conquered by Muslim emperors, known as the Mughals. One of them, Shah Jahan, embedded the diamond in the Peacock Throne, his seat of power — which eventually was captured by another warlord with a weakness for diamonds.

"An Iranian leader called Nadir Shah defeats the enormous Mughal army. From Iran, [the diamond] then enters the hands of Ahmad Shah Abdali, who is the founder of Afghanistan," Dalrymple explains. "So the Afghans feel equally strongly that this is their stone."

Around this time, the diamond came be known as the Kohinoor. It was also around this time when legends of curses started to mount.

"In Indian astrology, a pure man without sin — a great man — can wear a diamond without a problem. But anyone who is flawed, or any diamond which is flawed, can bring terrific bad luck," Dalrymple says. "This whole mythology of cursed diamonds actually begins in Indian astrological texts."

By the time the British arrived on the scene — first as the East India Company in the 17th century, and then as colonial rulers — the diamond was only worn by women.

That suited Queen Victoria just fine.

A Colonial Gift For Queen Victoria

In the mid-19th century, British diplomats befriended a 10-year-old Punjabi Sikh prince, the Maharaja Duleep Singh, who'd inherited the Kohinoor. They took the boy's diamond as part of an 1849 treaty marking the end of the second Anglo-Sikh war — and presented it to Queen Victoria. She wore it in a dangling bracelet, and later had a giant brooch made to hold the diamond, which she wore to sit for a famous portrait.

That loss of the Kohinoor is still felt — memorialized — in India to this day.

In a sound-and-light show for tourists at the 11th century Golconda Fort in the southern city of Hyderabad, where the Kakatiya kings once ruled, the recorded voice of Bollywood's biggest star, Amitabh Bachchan, extolls the Kohinoor's brilliance and bemoans where it is today.

"The Kohinoor is still in Britain. This is just a replica," Bachchan's voice bellows in the darkness, as a giant hologram of a diamond is projected onto one of the fort's walls.

Tourists shake their heads.

"The British never apologized about anything," says Saudamini Sharma, 25, touring the fort. "They're the ones who came and tried to, you know, quote unquote 'civilize people.' But civilized people don't steal — don't take away stuff and never return it."

India's Claim To The Kohinoor

There are growing calls to return the Kohinoor. But to where? Over the centuries, it's been held in what is now India, Pakistan, Iran and Bangladesh. Even the Taliban claim it's theirs.

From the return of Jewish art looted by the Nazis to colonial artifacts in British museums, Western governments in recent years have started to address questions of ownership of archaeological and cultural heritage. A London museum recently returned the Benin Bronzes to Nigeria. Greece is asking the British Museum to return the Elgin Marbles.

But the U.K. government and royals have rarely commented on the Kohinoor. In 2010, then-Prime Minister David Cameron, asked about it on a trip to India, said returning the diamond would set a dangerous precedent for British institutions.

"What tends to happen with these questions is that if you say yes to one, you suddenly find the British Museum would be empty!" Cameron told New Delhi Television. "I think I am afraid to say, to disappoint all your viewers, it is going to have to stay put."

Meanwhile, the British sell tickets (currently, about $37 for adults) to see the Kohinoor — and have done so since 1851, when the diamond was the star attraction at the World Exhibition at the Crystal Palace in London.

It was for that exhibition that the British royals had the diamond cut down — lopped off at least 85 carats. The diamond had already been whittled down from its legendary coconut size over the centuries, as part of efforts to eliminate imperfections or possibly even steal parts of it. In Victorian Britain, the taste was for "brilliant" cut diamonds, which required a reshaping of the gem to refract more light.

"To Indians, it's actually a perfect, perfect metaphor for what India went through: It was reshaped and re-cut and diminished into something that suited a British palate and British needs," Anand says.

"We [in Britain] don't really learn about the history of empire! It's painted as if it's something very long ago, not really interesting — and yet it shapes the world we live in today," Anand says. "It's always glimmered in my life. If you are a British Asian, you know about the Kohinoor."

Last year, India and Pakistan celebrated 75 years since winning their freedom from the British crown. But for many, the story is incomplete as long as the British crown still has their diamond.

Metaphysical Healing Properties Of K2

Metaphysical Healing Properties Of K2

Introduction

Metaphysical Healing Properties Of K2, The K2 stone, also known as "K2 Jasper" or "K2 Granite," is a unique and visually striking gemstone composed of white granite with bright blue spots of azurite. Found near the base of the K2 mountain (the second tallest mountain in the world, located in Pakistan), this stone has gained popularity in metaphysical and spiritual communities for its reputed properties as a catalyst for change. What is K2 Stone? K2 stone is a rare combination of two distinct minerals: - Granite: The white-gray base of the stone, which is composed of quartz, feldspar, and other minerals, provides grounding energy. - Azurite: The vibrant blue spots are caused by azurite, a copper-based mineral that is associated with intuition and spiritual insight. This combination of grounding granite and intuitive azurite makes the K2 stone a unique tool for both physical and spiritual transformation. 1. Transformation and Personal Empowerment - Catalyst for Change: K2 is believed to carry the energy of monumental challenges and triumphs. Its vibration can encourage you to face obstacles head-on and transform adversity into personal growth. Working with this energy may help you tap into your inner strength and resilience. - Empowerment: The forceful, majestic energy of K2 supports the empowerment of your inner self. It can inspire courage, motivate action, and help you break through self-imposed limitations—ideal for those seeking to redefine their life’s purpose. 2. Grounding and Connection to Nature - Deep Grounding: As a symbol of towering mountains, K2 is associated with the grounding energies of the Earth. Meditating with or visualizing its energy can help you feel more rooted, centered, and connected to the natural world, which is especially beneficial during times of stress or upheaval. - Connection to Primal Energy: K2’s energy is often seen as a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms. By tapping into this energy, you may experience a renewed sense of connection to the raw, untamed forces of nature—reminding you that you are a part of a larger, dynamic whole. 3. Clarity, Focus, and Inner Wisdom - Mental Clarity: The powerful, expansive energy of K2 is said to clear mental fog, helping you gain perspective on life’s challenges. This clarity can support decision-making and enable you to approach problems with a calm, centered mind. - Heightened Intuition: K2 is sometimes used in meditative practices to enhance intuitive abilities. Its vibration may help open channels to your inner wisdom, guiding you through periods of transformation and encouraging insights into your life’s deeper purpose. 4. Energy Alignment and Chakra Balancing - Balancing Energetic Centers: Practitioners who work with K2’s energy often report a harmonizing effect on the body’s energy centers (chakras). Its grounding and transformative qualities can help align and balance the lower chakras, fostering stability while opening up channels for higher consciousness. - Dynamic Energy Flow: K2’s vibration is sometimes used to stimulate and energize the subtle energy systems. This dynamic flow of energy may help clear blockages, allowing for a freer, more balanced exchange between your physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects. 5. Working with K2 Energy - Meditative Practices: To harness K2’s energy, incorporate visualizations into your meditation where you imagine the majestic, towering energy of a mountain peak. Visualize its solid, grounding presence and let it infuse you with strength and clarity. - Crystals and Tools: While there isn’t a specific “K2 crystal” universally recognized, you might pair the symbolism of K2 with grounding stones like smoky quartz, black tourmaline, or hematite. These crystals can support the grounding, transformative, and protective qualities associated with K2 energy. - Respect and Mindfulness: Given its powerful nature, working with K2 energy is best approached with respect and mindfulness. Allow its intensity to guide you gently rather than forcing change. Creating a ritual that honors this energy—perhaps with a dedicated altar, grounding meditation, or journaling—can help integrate its benefits into your daily life. Comclusion Whether you’re working with a crystal imbued with the energy of K2 or using the mountain’s symbolism to guide your meditation, the metaphysical properties of K2 offer a powerful tool for transformation, grounding, and personal empowerment. By tapping into this potent energy, you may find yourself better equipped to face life’s challenges, gain clarity and focus, and emerge stronger and more aligned with your true purpose. Embrace the journey with openness and patience, and allow the profound energies of K2 to support your path toward deeper self-awareness and spiritual evolution. K2 Stone as a Catalyst for Change In spiritual practices, the K2 stone is often regarded as a powerful catalyst for change due to its unique energetic properties. Here's how it is believed to facilitate growth and transformation: - Balancing Earthly and Spiritual Energies The grounding energy of granite helps individuals stay rooted and stable, even as they explore higher spiritual planes through the azurite's connection to intuition and insight. This balance makes it an ideal stone for those seeking to make meaningful changes in both their material and spiritual lives. - Encouraging Self-Awareness K2 stone is thought to help users gain a deeper understanding of their emotions, thoughts, and patterns. By fostering self-awareness, it can serve as a tool for identifying areas of life that need transformation and help individuals take proactive steps toward change. - Enhancing Communication and Clarity Azurite is often associated with the third eye chakra, which governs intuition and clarity. This aspect of the K2 stone is believed to improve communication (both with others and within oneself), allowing users to better articulate their goals and understand the steps needed to achieve them. - Facilitating Emotional Healing The stone is said to assist in releasing emotional blockages and old patterns that no longer serve the individual. By letting go of past burdens, users can embrace new opportunities and create the conditions for personal growth. - Promoting Courage and Adaptability The grounding energy of granite provides strength and resilience, helping individuals face challenges and embrace change with courage. This makes the K2 stone a great companion for those navigating big life transitions, such as career changes, new relationships, or spiritual awakenings. How to Use K2 Stone for Change Here are some practical ways to use the K2 stone as a catalyst for transformation: - Meditation: Hold the stone during meditation to connect with its grounding and intuitive energies. Focus on your intentions for change and visualize the desired outcome. - Chakra Work: Place the stone on the third eye chakra to enhance intuition or on the root chakra to deepen grounding and stability. - Carry It With You: Keep the stone in your pocket or as jewelry to promote balance and clarity throughout the day. - Journaling: Use the stone as a tool during self-reflection. Write down areas of your life you want to transform and let the stone’s energy inspire action.
