Why I used these stones...
Amazonite is believed to have many healing characteristics, including improving your skin. It is also credited with soothing the nervous system and brain alleviating muscle spasms, stress and exhaustion. It is also said to enhance your analytical and intuitive abilities, stimulating clarity of thought and enabling you to organize information and communicate clearly, improving your social interaction. Amazonite is thought to makes your married life happier. Spiritualists believe amazonite has the ability to purify the spirit and bring harmony and balance to male and female energies.
Apatite is known for its beautiful blue-green color with a tonal range that varies from grey to sea green. It is commonly believed that wearing apatite enhances focus, clearing the mind for concentration and acceptance.
Historically, Rose Quartz is a symbol of love and beauty. It has been believed to attract the love of the opposite sex. Known as the love stone, Rose Quartz, the stone of unconditional love - family love, platonic love, self love and romantic love - is said to be great for emotional healing and to balance the emotions, giving inner peace and harmony and enhancing sensitivity to beauty, art, and music. Though not meant to replace traditional medical treatment, some spiritualists believe that rose quartz has protection energies during pregnancy and childbirth, gives a clear soft complexion and helps prevent wrinkles.
