Also the other day a middle age couple came to the shop i work at and were like "we need a bracelet made of a stone to help with anxity"
So i was like, ah, well lepidolite is gennerally considered best-
No
It was too feminine for their son.
(Lepidolite is a mottled purple stone, not even all the way purple in that form its purple and white)
The lady was like, we need something more masculine, what do you have thats more masculine?
????idfk???? What colors??? Does your son like?????
I litterally did not know. I figured black/grey is the best option so I start to show the smokey quartz. Its not the most traditional choice for anxity, but it should be close enough.
But she goes for the gold stone and was like, of isnt thins one good for anxity, and it seems pretty masculine, what do you think?
(Goldstone is made of sparkles) I was like, well that one isnt tradionally more associated with wealth and oportunity but idfk if you think its good who fuckin cares. But she was like, ah nah, nvm...
I gennerally don't even care if people are like, of, nah, thats too feminine/too masculine for me. But it kills me when they are 1) deciding for someone else, and 2) asking ME what I think. MOTHER FUCKER YOU THINK I KNOW??? WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU ASKING ME? The levels of -gender- this particular couple were on in regards to the various bracelet styles, even within one stone were so bat shit it fully reminded me that I am apparently fully lost and out of touch when it comes to the "gendering" of metaphysical nonsense jewlery.
#larger stone beads are more feminine apparently#tho ive litterally heards others determine excatly the inverse#also color variation and shinyness are also feminine#sparkles are not tho#but presumably only orange???#they got a small bead smokey quartz and i wrapped it#with just a grey ribbon cause i figured any other colors we had would be too feminine#cis brain poison sucksd
