Crystal magic: Healing mugs

March 17, 2012 by Andrew Leave a Comment

Donna Rollins is an artisan potter and she’s hand-thrown a small collection of “Healing stone mugs”. Firstly, these mugs infuse clay with a number of minerals during the firing process. The next step is to crown each mug with a healing stone to help channel your energy.

The blue mug uses clear quartz which is considered to be very helpful for controlling healing energy.

The purple mug makes use of rose quartz. Many believe rose quartz is an important cyrstal not just for love but for the heart chakra.

The red mug uses tiger’s eye (or cat’s eye as some call it). This is a useful stone to have to help with meditation.

Lastly, the black mug uses citrine which can be used not just for regeneration energies but for boosting self-confidence and financial prosperity.

The mugs can be bought from Uncommon Goods until they sell out.
