In alchemy, silver is an archetype concept - one of seven. Before the periodic table emerged through technological advancement, there were in fact seven sacred metals, of which silver held a place of high esteem. In hermetic philosophy, an alchemical concept more than simply describes physical characteristics. All ideas were centered on discovering and utilizing the essence behind the material manifestation, with the goal of expressing in absolute terms primary principles governing both time and matter. Practitioners of the past were as much poets as scientists, and possessed unparalleled patience in their works.

Silver is even attributed in the ancient chakra system - a system of seven sacred energy centers of the body. Silver is associated with the sixth chakra, often referred to as the "third-eye".  In this sense, silver certainly represents the concept of reflection, both physically ( all reflective substances are silvery ) and as an internal exercise of self-analysis.

Topaz is a common gemstone that has been used for centuries as jewelry. The stone is one of the hardest minerals, and is the hardest silicate mineral found in nature. A silicate of aluminum, topaz contains about 20 percent water and fluorine. The relative proportions of these impurities are responsible for the color of the stones. Crystals with more water are yellow to brown, while those with more fluorine are typically blue or colorless. The most popular color is a rich orange-yellow, resembling the color of sherry wine.

The ancient Greeks believed that the fiery crystal had the power to increase a person's strength and make its wearer invisible in times of emergency. Topaz was also said to change color in the presence of poisoned food or drink. The gem's mystical curative powers waxed and waned with the phases of the moon. When the powdered stone was mixed with wine, it was considered a cure for asthma, insomnia, burns and hemorrhages.

Some scholars trace the origin of the word topaz to the ancient Sanskrit word for fire, or tapas, a reference to its fiery orange color. These colors can change when exposed to sunlight and/or heat. Brown topaz can be bleached by sunlight and yellow topaz turns pink to purple-red when exposed to moderate heat. The most notable occurrences are in Minas Gerias, Brazil; Pakistan; San Diego Co, California; the Ural Mountains, Russia; Mexico; and the Thomas Range, Utah.   Many gem scholars agree that the tradition of birthstones arose from the Breastplate of Aaron described in the Bible (Exodus 28, 15-30)

(Please keep in mind that green tourmaline can be a deep-acting and fast-acting gemstone which can cause intense emotional releases, so please be prepared.)

Pink Tourmaline is a good choice for children recovering from abuse. Brings deep comforting love energy.  Transforms negative behavior into positive.


Black Tourmaline/ Schorl:  Metaphysical Properties- Black Tourmaline is a 1st chakra stone that aids in making changes and transformations.  It grounds and deflects negativity and is uses as a protection stone.  It transforms internal negativity, changes and then releases it.  I also feel that it protects one from negativity from outside influences.  Rubbing a black tourmaline crystal with a wool cloth or heating it raises static electricity and causes a positive charge on one end, a negative charge on the other.  Use this crystal to draw out negativity and disease from all chakras; simply hold a black tourmaline over the blocked chakra and rotate the crystal counter clock wise to open the blocks.  This crystal is also used as a grounding stone, good for those who cannot just be.


Turquoise:  Metaphysical Properties- Turquoise is a very sacred stone used for centuries by the Native American’s in all healing work.  I like to think of this stone as one of peace, serenity and tranquility; it allows me to feel at peace with my surroundings and those who come into my life.  It has also helped me to know my role in this incarnation allowing me to be a part of the universal plan.  In healing this stone connects the spiritual bodies with the other levels of existence: the physical, emotional, and intellectual.  A stone of balance, protection and love that overlaps the heart and throat, Turquoise is a stone that connects the three upper and three lower chakras, the seen and unseen bodies of the aura.  Some say that this stone brings one luck and is good for relationships.
