Healing Heart
Handmade Sugilite with Richterite & .925 Sterling Silver Pendant / Slide

"Healing, Heart Healing "

This is a one-of-a-kind pendant / slide that I designed and crafted by hand, using only simple hand tools. The stunning carving of the sugilite and richterite heart cabochon felt to me to be just a perfect energy of heart healing in combination with the metaphysical properties of the stone.

Materials Used to Handcraft this pendant:
Carved Sugilite with Richterite Heart Cabochon;
.925 Sterling Silver wire.

Size: This pendant is approxiately 2.1" (55 mm) from the top of the bail. The bail will accommodate a chain of approximately 6 mm diameter.

In alignment with the mystical lore associated with the stones, I created this piece with prayer and intent that the Divine bless this piece with the prayer and intent that the wearer be favored with great healing, particularly healing of the heart.

Metaphysical, Mystical, & Spiritual Healing Properties Lore:

Sugilite is sometimes known as "the healer's stone" because of its great ability to enhance healing. It is associated with the third eye and crown chakras. It lessens effects of shock and disappointment. In addition to its well known enhancement of crystal healing ability, it also strengthens spirituality, psychic ability and channelling. Sugilite is a stone that helps perfect spiritual love and open the heart chakra to unconditional love. It can help manifest one's natural gifts and protect against harsh realities. It lowers hostility, anger, jealousy and prejudice and gives a sense of freedom. Psychically, it is excellent for all kinds of psychic and spiritual protection. It has been used for headaches and to decrease all types of discomfort. Sugilite is associated with the brow chakra. It is also called Luvulite or Lavulite.

Richterite is a stone of calmness, relaxation and strength. It is said to help lessen the "fight or flight" syndrome associated with PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) and other anxiety states. It is said to help one balance action and reaction, and handle life in a calm, steady, and strong manner. When one is already in a relaxed state such as meditation, richterite can profoundly deepen the relaxation, allowing the body freedom to heal more fully, grow stronger, and for the mind to expand into higher states of awareness. As a throat chakra stone, richterite is involved with communication, but rather than external communication it is primarily involved with communication within the entity or person. Physically richterite is used in folklore and spiritual healing to aid in healing of circulation problems, glandular problems, particularly thyroid problems, respiratory problems, parasites, fevers of various kinds, and typhoid. Richterite is commonly associated with the throat (5th) chakra.

Silver is a mineral that is said to mirror the soul, strengthen the connection between astral and physical bodies, and enhance intuitive and psychic energies. Silver is mystically considered to improve speech, bring eloquence. It is also purported to attract, enhance and store the energies of gemstones, as well as draw out negative energies. Silver is related to the moon, and moon energies. Physically, crystal healing lore indicates that silver is has been traditionally used to aid heptatitis treatments, eliminate toxins, expel toxins through the pores, headache, rheumatic pain, nausea and gastritis, obesity, diabetes, and increase assimilation of vitamins A and E.
