Earlier this week we spent some time in downtown Campbell (CA). My stylist is in Campbell so it was natural that we should stop at Sushi Confidential after my hair appointment. It’s my favorite sushi restaurant.
After an additional order of tamago (and a large sake) we were ready to walk-off our meal. Next stop, Spellcraft. Billed as a boutique shop “for the modern mystic”, Spellcraft has a huge selection of both houseplants (!) and crystals – all presided over by a large, black and brown goat’s head. Since he doesn’t have a name (I asked.) I have christened him “Philippe”. (Anyone who’s seen The Witch will get that reference.)
It’s an airy place and I discovered a number of unusual plants that I HAD to have…unfortunately, I was on a budget and chose my ONE selection very carefully:
I have one Angel’s Wing begonia that’s doing very nicely, but I had read that Rex Begonias can be, well, tempermental. They need high humidity but with good air circulation; otherwise, they are prone to powdery mildew which can spell DEATH to a plant. Fortunately for me, my bedroom has both high humidity (my Nepenthes are thriving) and good air circulation. It also came in my favorite color combo: black and purple.
(But, OMG, they had a Ctenanthe lubbersiana and several large Begonia Maculatas. I have been looking for C. Lubbersiana in particular, so I have to go back there with $$$$ in hand!!!)
I am usually drawn to purple-colored crystals such as amethyst or stones such as jasper. I like both rough-edged and smooth – it all depends upon the energy I get from the stone/crystal itself when I “fondle” it. But that day I was drawn to these blue crystals called Aqua Aura Quartz.
Photo does not do justice to the color. It’s more on the blue-side of aqua.
Aqua Aura can bring prosperity, even possibly wealth. (I’m down with that!) It can also stimulate your throat chakra, which will enhance your communication. (I’m fondling it as I write this Post.)
It will give you the inner truth that you seek. Some people spend a lifetime coasting through their lives, wondering about truths about themselves but never having the courage to uncover them. The aqua aura quartz will help you realize the truth about yourself. Even the ones that you refuse to know or believe.
Known as the stone of the mind, aqua aura quartz is very helpful when directing your energies. It can give you direction and help you concentrate. It can also increase your mental abilities. It will give you mental clarity, amplify your thoughts, and develop your spirit. Which is why it’s most commonly used in healing and meditation.
Aqua aura quartz can help you access the truth of your emotions. It can also help balance emotional extremes, making sure that your emotions are aligned and cleared.
Aqua Aura is an outstanding tool for people wishing to increase their psychic skills and awareness. It’s used to empower and enhance telepathy, clairaudience, clairvoyance, psychic healing, and automatic writing as well as other modalities. This crystal can also balance the effects of feminine and masculine energies. It can help in the alignment of your etheric body with your emotional body, as well as activate your soul energy.

Well, it appears I was psychically drawn to this crystal. Sometimes you just have to follow your gut and listen to that little voice inside you…
