Kunzite: Power Boost for Love & Spirituality

These pink and green Kunzite beads are packed with POWER!
But it it a loving and spiritual power.

It is a great aid to meditation, especially if you have trouble settling down. It is also a protective stone that can even lovingly affect the people around you.

Cat's Eye: These beads are particularly rare and sought after because they are also cat's eyes. Shine a light brightly into these beads and you'll see a luminous line that bisects it from top to bottom and moves from side to side as the stone is turned. Accurate cutting is required to place the line exactly in the middle of the stone.

I am constanty surprised that high street fashion labels charge a lot for semi-precious stone replica assesories in plastic, when you can have the REAL thing at reasonable prices.

Rose quartz :
Aids forgiveness,
enhances love and compassion
cools down resentment, jealousy
reduces tension

Measurements: pendent is 4 cm high the chain is 40 cm.
