December – the hustle and bustle is here and we sometimes wonder if it will ever end as we put all the final touches on what we feel will make the perfect Holiday.
December has always been about being together and making memories. Family comes from afar, friends that have become family are included, sometimes even complete strangers that have nowhere to go. It’s very busy and cold…… but it’s about time together
I have chosen Ruby Zoisite (also known as anyolite) as the stone for December due to its deep green color accented by red, Christmas colors. It also is a great stone to help with grief and let’s face it the holidays can be filled with grief of remembering lost loved ones.
Ruby Zoisite was first discovered in Tanzania, with the largest deposits found at the base of Mount Kilimanjaro. Tanzania is the only known location to have ruby zoisite deposits, which is why the stone is so rare.
Ruby Zoisite has a very positive, almost playful energy. It can help to soothe emotional pain associated with grief, anger, and despair.
It offers you the energies of happiness, appreciation, abundance, vitality and growth.
Ruby Zoisite is also one of the very few minerals that can transmute negative energies into positivity.
This stone is positive and powerful, helping to boost energy levels and help you feel more positive. Feeling unmotivated and lethargic can be caused by so many things, but the green zoisite helps to balance the heart chakra and provide a positive outlook on life. The ruby ties in with this as it is a naturally energized crystal that can help alleviate emotional blockages and leave you feeling energized.
You can run your stone under natural water sources, leave it to charge in the sun or moonlight, or bury it in soil for twenty-four hours.
Try to cleanse your stone every two weeks or so to get rid of the negative energies that it absorbs
