New Crystal Carvings

Crystal carvings are a great way to bring natural crystals into your home. The amazing colours and texture of crystals really stands out in comparison to other home accessories and crystal ornaments are a lovely touch in any room. Here at Crystal Age we have recently added many new crystal carvings to the online store including crystal Buddhas, swans, hearts and money toads. These carvings make excellent gifts and many are inexpensive, so you can always treat yourself to something special.

Buddha Crystal Carvings

Colourful crystals are the perfect medium for Buddha carvings. Laughing Buddha figurines are based on ancient designs and they are a great gift, especially in a new home. The laughing Buddha spreads joy and happiness wherever he goes. It is said that Buddha statues inspire us to develop our inner qualities and by doing so achieve good fortune, happiness and satisfaction in our lives.

Swan Crystal Carvings

These swan carvings have a wonderfully graceful shape. The smooth curves of the swan show off the natural beauty of the crystal and allows light to pass through translucent crystal. These carvings come in two sizes and they make a very stylish ornament in any room.

Crystal Valentines Day Gifts

The natural beauty and energy of crystals makes them lovely Valentines Day gifts. Here at Crystal Age we have a great choice of Valentines gifts including fine gemstone jewellery, crystal gifts and healing stones. In crystal lore, the stone most frequently associated with romantic love is rose quartz, which is known as the ‘Stone of Love’. It is said to attract and encourage love of all kinds. Other crystals associated with love are: rhodochrosite, said to enhance communication within relationships; opalite, associated with fidelity and ruby fuchsite, which is associated with devotion, passion and romance.

Jewellery always makes a great Valentines Day gift and we have a beautiful range of gemstone jewellery. I recommend our range of sterling silver gemstone jewellery, all of which is handcrafted using solid silver and superior quality stones.

They make wonderful little gifts that can be displayed at home, carried in your pocket or even used in crystal healing.

Zodiac Birthstones

Zodiac birthstones are a wonderful way to unlock the power of crystals and start exploring your zodiac sign. Each of the twelve zodiac signs is associated with many different zodiac birthstones, from the most popular stones to obscure stones and stones specifically for people who are on the cusp of their star sign.

The idea of birthstones as we know them today grew out of Judeo-Christian traditions. Birthstones were first mentioned by Josephus in the 1st century AD and St Jerome in the early 5th century. They are described as set into the High Priest’s Breastplate and later as the foundation stones of New Jerusalem. People first started to wear zodiac birthstones as jewellery in 18th Century Poland and Germany. This soon became popular and many people all over the world keep their birthstone close to them or wear it as jewellery.

How To Use Zodiac Birthstones

There are many ways that you can use and enjoy your zodiac birthstone. Small birthstones like the one pictured above are particularly versatile. It is believed that keeping your birthstone within your aura will unlock its power, so the best way is to wear them as jewellery or keep them on your person. You can focus on your birthstone during meditation, use it to explore your star sign, access the positive attributes of your sin or just display it at home, preferably near your bed desk or main living area.

Fine Turquoise Jewellery

When it comes to fine crystal jewellery, turquoise jewellery is always a fantastic choice. Turquoise is a beautiful stone that has been worked into amulets and jewellery for thousands of years. It is found in many different parts of the world and its wonderful green and blue colour has made a favourite of civilizations as far apart as the ancient Chinese and Native Americans. Personally I love the bright colours of turquoise jewellery. There is something about the richness and brightness of this crystal that look simply stunning. Turquoise jewellery makes a wonderful gift and here at Crystal Age we have a great choice of turquoise jewellery and gifts.

Healing Power of Turquoise

Different cultures have ascribed differing powers to turquoise as a healing stone, but there are some main attributes that they all agree on. Turquoise is believed to protect from both physical and spiritual harm and it has historically been carved into amulets against sorcery. In modern crystal healing, turquoise is still used for protection, as well as its calm, balancing energy. It is believed to stabilise mood swings and bring relief to people who are exhausted or overworked.

Turquoise Jewellery Picks

Here at Crystal Age turquoise pendants are among some of our most popular pieces of jewellery. Pendants really show off the beauty of crystals and they put the gemstone centre stage in your look.

Amethyst is a very popular crystal for jewellery and it is easy to see why. It displays beautiful colour and has a lovely shine, especially when faceted and polished. In crystal healing, amethyst is said to have a very soothing effect and a powerful healing energy. Amethyst crystal jewellery is surprisingly affordable and makes a great gift for Christmas. My personal preference is for amethyst with a deep colour but the paler varieties of amethyst are also very beautiful and give very glamorous sparkle.

Turquoise Crystal Jewellery

Turquoise crystal jewellery is always a great choice for Christmas gifts. Turquoise has been prized but Native American culture for thousands of years for luck and protection. I have to say that turquoise is one of my favourite crystals because it just looks wonderful. It is traditionally paired with silver, which really highlights the colour of the crystal jewellery.

Amethyst is found in a few different colours but in my opinion, purple amethyst will always be the most glamorous. There is something about the depth of colour and shine that you get with fine amethyst that just lights up your whole look. Amethyst is not a very expensive gemstone, so amethyst jewellery often gives you a very stylish, impressive looking piece at a low price.

Healing Power of Amethyst

In crystal healing, amethyst is believed to have a powerful and soothing healing energy. It is said to soothe away stress and clear the mind, allowing us to attain a greater understanding and spirituality. It is believed to heal the entire body, relieving pain and strengthening the immune system. Amethyst is the birthstone for Pisces, Virgo, Aquarius and Capricorn. It is aligned with Ajna, the Third Eye Chakra. This chakra is a seat of learning and spirituality, which reflects the deeply spiritual nature of this gemstone.
