Aquamarine is a pale blue-green member of the Beryl family of crystals. (Emerald is green Beryl.) It brings calmness and peace, helps us to ‘go with the flow’, and release anxiety, fears and phobias. It is a purifier and protects against pollution.

I have found Aquamarine to help with fluid retention, throat infections and swollen glands, thyroid imbalance and eye problems. Aquamarine brings clarity and increases perception, intuition and self-expression. It can help us to express our truth, even when this may be a challenge, and assist us to stay calm and focussed under pressure.

Rose quartz is translucent pink quartz, often called "The Love Stone", as it opens the heart to give and receive love. It can provide gentle, loving support to anyone, however old or young, well or strong, in happy or challenging times. It is calming and soothing, especially for emotional problems, heartache or stress.

Rose quartz can be used to heal all emotional pain, whether from current experience or deep-seated issues from the past. This crystal can provide the loving support needed, enabling one to dare to release emotional pain from the energy body.
