I started collecting rocks when I was 4. I always had them in my pockets, in mounds in my room, and would pick them up from the ground. The 1st time I went to the Smithsonian's mineral and gem collection at the National Museum of Natural History as a little kid, I fell in deep and lasting love with Alexandrite. A rare and almost mythical stone that changes color from green to pink/red depending on the type of light. I get asked a LOT for them and I have never been able to find natural ones at any kind of decent price. Until now. These are natural Brazilian Alexandrite. It was not discovered until the late 1980's that Alexandrite was in Brazil. There are a few localities for it now, but most are still very expensive. Color change is very decent on these. (Use a non led flashlight or candle to see the pink) I have a limited selection of these available. They come in a small gem box and with a little story card. I will have them, as supplies last at all the shows starting tomorrow at @madeinchicagomarket and Sunday at @krampus_mart They will sell out and will go quickly. I know a lot of kids who love rocks who would flip to have one of these in their collection. #alexandrite #colorchange #alexandritestone #stockingstuffer #regeneration #courage #joy https://www.instagram.com/p/B5dudcUBRZU/?igshid=1h8sblmom7vri

Lilith's Gift 101 carats of Rubies, Gold over Sterling Serpents, and 14 k gold fill wire. Most people know the story of Adam and Eve, but forget about Lilith. She was Adam's first wife and made from the same clay. She was self aware and strong and did not want to be subservient to Adam. The stories say she was banished from Eden by God for this. But she came back. She is represented as a demon or serpent who tempts Eve with the forbidden fruit. What does this really mean? Lilith was the 1st feminist. She understood she was equal to Adam and wasn't putting up with his, or God's nonsense. She wanted that awareness and knowledge for all women. The forbidden fruit is symbol of truth and knowledge. These earrings represent self awareness, and seeking out truth, even when it is obscured by beauty and an easy path. These are for the person who wants to defend the rights of all to that and all knowledge. Ruby is a protective stone, shielding from energy drains and attacks. It boosts intellect, joy, and leadership abilities. It can also assist is showing us the truth of Love. These will be available starting tomorrow at @madeinchicagomarket and then Sunday at @krampus_mart #lilith #gardenofeden #feminist #serpentjewelry #serpentgoddess #goddesslilith #rubies #rubyearrings #rubyjewelry #biblicaljewelry #deviljewelry #serpent #snakeearrings https://www.instagram.com/p/B5dOe4LBicT/?igshid=gqq9zl3sfpow
