Lithotherapy is the art of using stones and crystals to improve health and well-being. Each stone emits its own unique vibration according to its color, internal structure, trace elements, formation and hardness. Since each stone has its own vibration, it allows us to come into contact with its specific energies to create a personal connection."

CHOOSING MY GEMSTONE
DROP PENDANT
If you are having trouble choosing between two stones, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and ask yourself, “What do I need right now?.
You will find the answer in one of our 7 gemstone drop pendants.
AMAZONITE
Stone of emotional balance
It opens the heart, enabling us to interact naturally with our surroundings. It is an invaluable ally for helping to relieve stress by allowing us to take a step back from our emotions and evaluate a situation more objectively. Amazonite encourages us to understand that we cannot control everything and that it is good to let go of the old and welcome the new by redefining our core values.
ANGELITE
Stone of communication
Its gentle vibration promotes fluid and sincere communication by helping us to find the right words and use them with tact and sensitivity. Its soothing and reassuring energy provides us with the courage to communicate while respecting ourselves and others.
Angelite also calms the mind by clearing it of negative thoughts.
CHRYSOPRASE
Stone of freshness and openness
Chrysoprase provides an invigorating breath of fresh air to help us remain centered in the heart and listen to our deepest and most sincere aspirations. It also promotes spontaneity and simplicity in discussions, which greatly facilitates communication. A beautiful stone of the heart to discover.
LABRADORITE
Stone of protection
Well known for its protective properties, labradorite is an excellent anchor stone for maintaining grounding and stability. It absorbs stagnant energies so they can more easily be deflected into the earth. Its luminous reflections awaken and sharpen all our senses and create a safe environment in which to develop our intuition.
SMOKY QUARTZ
Stone of stability
A stone of stability and simple energy, allowing us to discover our roots, keep our feet firmly planted on the ground. Smoky quartz enables us to manage our daily lives with pragmatism. It can be used for meditation or during quiet times to simply stay in the present moment.
ROSE QUARTZ
Stone of tenderness
Known for its gentleness, rose quartz comforts and reassures. It radiates a tender and maternal energy to soothe fears and sorrows. Rose Quartz is beneficial for both parents and children. When it is in the form of a pendant, worn close to the heart, it helps us to feel love, to allow it to grow within our hearts.
MOONSTONE
Stone of femininity and intuition
It carries soft feminine energy and promotes inspiration and intuition. Moonstone grants us the ability to explore, tune into and respect our femininity. With its energy, we are able to accept our emotions and express them freely. Moonstone awakens our sensitivity and makes us more receptive to the information that surrounds us.
In the beginning, it is best to wear only one drop pendant in order to feel its unique and specific energies. Later on, you can try other possible combinations. Here are three which we recommend:
rose quartz and amazonite for a complete balance of the heart, achieved by a combination of tenderness and openness.
smoky quartz and labradorite for stability and to remain firmly grounded to the earth.
angelite and moonstone to express femininity with tact and fairness.
In any case, avoid wearing more than three stones at a time because the energy flow would be too powerful for your body. Simplicity is always best!
MY LITTLE WELLNESS RITUAL
In the morning, before wearing it, sit comfortably and breathe slowly and calmly, then hold the stone in your hand. Embrace and welcome any sensations, images or feelings that may arise. Talk to your stone or ask it to use its unique properties to support and guide you through your day. Just 2 or 3 minutes will suffice to create this bond with your stone.
During a break or a quiet time, place one of your hands on your belly to connect with baby and, with the other hand, gently squeeze the gemstone. Visualize the energy of the stone, starting in your hand and then radiating up your arm, into your body, providing you with all its beneficial properties, and extending into your belly where your baby can also feel this positive energy.
In the evening, while taking off your gemstone drop necklace, make sure to thank it for supporting you by offering a gesture or word that is meaningful to you.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE TIPS
To maximize the energies of your gemstone drop pendant, it must be purified and recharged once a week.
The easiest way to do this is to place coarse salt into a cup, cover it with a cloth, then put the drop pendant(s) on top. The salt will absorb unwanted energy within a few hours.
Discard the salt immediately after purification. Then place your stones on a window sill for one or two hours to reboot their energy before wearing them again. The ideal time to recharge them is early in the morning or at the end of the day when the sun is not so strong that it could damage your stones.
We advise you not to purify the gemstone drop pendants by cleansing them with water because this could cause the silver or gold mounting to oxidize.
