Greetings Beloved GemPowerment Family! It’s so good to be back with you in 2013 as we start our next chapters. I don’t know about you, but for me and many people I have talked with, the 12-21-12 was actually a pretty heavy energy, and many of us are still integrating. This means that that regular New Year oomph of renewed spirit, goals, and energy might not be there as much as you have wanted or needed. Well, Red Spinel is here to help!
Spinels are actually a mineral group in which inclusions of various elements in one particular place in the lattice determines what type it falls into, and then add some transition metals to bring about a specific color. Red Spinel is a member of the Magnesium Aluminum (MgAl2O4) group with Chromium added for Red, with a hardness of 8 on the Moh’s Scale, and is translucent. Red and other colored Spinels are often found with Corundums and have some of the same physical properties such as asterism, and there are many instances of famous Rubies that are later proven to be Red Spinels. One way to tell the difference is that Spinels do not exhibit any electrical properties when heated, which is why they are used in many industrial applications. This luscious red beauty is a wonderful energizer and is known as a stone of rejuvenation, vitality, and strength in the face of a daunting task. Red Spinel, as with all color varieties of this stone, is a de-stresser and eases worry while is a tonic to all chakras as well as a de-toxifier to the physical body. This stone also assists in moving forward without the need for control over all aspects of a project, and activates and connects the Root and Heart Chakras so energy may be focused on goals activities which are inspired from the Heart vs. head.
We have a New Moon coming up on Friday 1/11/13 – the first of 2013, so this is the best time to take physical actions to prepare for this. Red Spinel is here to help, “clear the energetic and physical clutter and re-form good habits.” Wear or keep Red Spinel on your person to help you see what can be done now in this lull period so you can go full-kilter when it’s time!
With Love,
Lisa – GemPowerment Gemagician ♥
