The world of crystals is a magical one. There are special meanings within each uniquely beautiful stone that come from their energetic properties. By keeping these special gems close by, you can pick up on delicate vibrations to enhance your mind, body and soul.
Life takes us on a variety of journeys, so the Dolls always keep a little extra magic in our pocket or purse. Not only are different stones beautiful to admire and collect, but also most of these gifts from the earth come with a tale.
A tale the Dolls believe to be true.
Crystals amplify the consciousness.” – Shirley MacLaine
We do have beautiful crystal collections but the Dolls are constantly giving stones to sprinkle some sparkle on their path. That means there’s a big turn around! Perhaps we will meet you out one day and pass on a tiger’s eye, amethyst or any stone we can feel that you need in your life at that moment.
With each crystal you ever receive, spend some time with it. Learn about its principles, origin and set a mantra for each stone. This way you’ll know which one your spirit is craving at a given time.
We will be featuring different stones on the blog monthly in our series, Crystal Chronicles. These stones may guide you ito a magical place, and when you’re ready to start a collection you will know where to go. When we are in different cities we always make it a point to find a crystal shop and get a little something. But in Chicago we have our set places we have grown very connected too.
