Hiya!
Despite the fact that I’ve barely left my house since March, I can’t believe how quickly time is flying by. There are days I feel as if I’m spinning my wheels and not making good use of my “home time.” Then there are the days that I do feel like I am making some progress. None-the-less I’m doing my best redefine and continue to grow my business. COVID-19 has put a halt to so many things! All I can do is my best to “adjust.”
Over the past two week I have touched a bit on azurite and malachite. Today, I’m talking about cuprite. Cuprite is the 3rd of the idiochromatic gemstones. Idiochromatic meaning receiving color from copper. If you remember, the amount of copper in the gems determine the color. Azurites are always blue, malachite is always green and cuprites are a copper oxide mineral that is always red. They can be brownish red, crimson red, orange red or blackish red! The shade of red depends on the cooper oxide and impurities found within the gemstone.
Cuprite is also known as red copper, or ruby copper. They were named by mineralogist Wilhelm Karl von Haidinger. Cuprite can be found all over the world but the most significant locations are in the USA, Namibia and the Congo.
Cuprite has many beneficial properties. It is said to help increase one’s energy and support your physical well-being. It can help one to keep a handle on your thoughts and emotions. Oops! Did I say that out load? Maybe I should wear some cuprite!
Simply holding cuprite in your hands, can help to keep stress at bay.
When life at home or work seems unbearable cuprite can help to calm and take away some of the worries. It will remind you that there are ups and down in life but they’re all temporary. With COVID-19 continuing to surge we can only hope this to be true!
For health and healing, cuprite has a myriad of properties. The stone has been said to help with kidney, blood and heart disorders. Cuprite may help women who are suffering from PMS, menopause, cramps hormonal imbalances or fertility issues.
Cuprite has been known to attract prosperity, luck and even good news! Who couldn’t use some good news right about now? Cuprite is a powerful stone that can infuse vitality and energy and help you through challenging times. It could be just what you need to get you through these “trying times!”
Next week I will be taking a bit of a break from social media and writing my blog. It will return July 13th.
Until next time, stay safe and stay well!
ENJOY!!
