Gemstone Mushroom Pendants are so trendy and cute; they measure approximately 1" in length come in Amethyst, Carnelian, and Sodalite. The mushroom shape is thought to bring enlightment, good luck, and clarity. Mushrooms are associated with the crown chakra.
Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz and owes its violet color to irradiation, iron impurities, and the presence of trace elements, which result in complex crystal lattice substitutions. The hardness of amethyst is the same as quartz, 7. The ancient Greeks wore Amethyst and carved drinking vessels from it in the belief that it would prevent intoxication. What does Amethyst do metaphysically? Amethyst is the power stone of the Crown Chakra and is thought metaphysically to transform negative energy into positive energy along with helping overcome grief and sadness to bring inner peace.
Jasper, an aggregate of microgranular quartz and/or chalcedony and other mineral phases, is an opaque, impure variety of silica, usually red, yellow, brown or green in color. The common red color is due to iron inclusions and is rated between 6.5 and 7 on the Mohs hardness scale. The name means "spotted or speckled stone", and is derived via Old French jaspre. Jasper is generally metaphysically associated with inner peace, harmony, and gentleness.
Sodalite is a rich royal blue tectosilicate mineral and is rated between 5.5 and 6 on the Mohs hardness scale. Well known for its blue color, sodalite may also be grey, yellow, green, or pink and is often mottled with white veins or patches. Metaphysically, Sodalite is associated with objectivity, rational thought, and self-acceptance.
