In this video, I muse that the sun's hitting these various stones in a way that makes them look like a colorful Stonehenge. You'll have to attend one of our in person or online Meditations to experience how I weave the various crystals selected into a coherent Guided Journey experience. 

Present were TOPAZ - already removed from the video tableau; PINK MANGANO CALCITE and RHODOCHROSITE for Body Healing & Revitalization. Then we came up some with Heart-Healing PINK OCTAHEDRAL FLUORITE; before rising into The Mind with AQUAMARINE and healing it (the mind) with LITHIUM QUARTZ. Finished with a LAVENDER CHALCEDONY for Healing and RED JASPER for Balance and Equilibrium. 

See our upcoming events HERE - our online Meditation for January will be the 19th - and our in person Meditation will be the 21st.

PLUS, I'll be selling at the following show:

• Tucson Gem Show on 22nd St. Jan. 30-Feb. 16, 2025 INFO

In the meantime, any (and every) day - our Portal Crystal Gallery is open 7 days a week - in Arlington Center, MA at 489 Mass. Ave. from 1-4pm (starting at noon on Saturdays)

First video I've put out in awhile. The Holidays. TikTok changed their captions processing, and I couldn't see/forgot where/how to put the Headline in. Annoying. Oh, and because of their new captions system - I clicked back - and it erased them. So I had to start fresh, and there's a typo! Which I never allow. 

ANYHOW - none of that's actually relevant to the CONTENT of the video - which is most important. FORDITE is an industry name given to automobile factory paint drippings - which build up in layers, based on the different colors the cars have been painted - and are then cut into cabochons for jewelry. The raw material and the artful talents of the jeweler produce an infinite variety of finished product. This was one of the best ones I've every seen - in terms of harmonious color and pattern spread - cut perfectly, and custom set in a pendant that appealed to this NYC buyer. I love NYC shoppers - 'cause even though they can be annoying in their own way - they're worldly and educated, appreciate quality, and aren't afraid to don larger / awesome big pendants.

As a well-rounded person - I necessarily have opinions about what's going on in the world - which I'll be sharing here. It's Social Commentary - generally - rather than Political banter, per se. And I have a perspective - an angle - that I view the world from. 

It's supposed to be a Happy New Year, and yet we just had a mass casualty (terrorist!) event in New Orleans. 

In just over a week, Trump will be inaugurated again, however you feel about THAT! 

And those wildfires in California - are they being started (some of them) intentionally - by terrorists (again) - and what's with the conspiracy theories making preposterous an inappropriate assumptions about who's responsible?!

Certainly Climate Change is a thing, we saw a looong "India Summer" this Fall in New England, but now it's been frigid. Believe me, I know, I was out in it 4 hours finalizing the prep of my pallets, which are now en route to Tucson (where I'm headed in 11 days). 

Everything's going on all at once - our personal, professional, and societal life - wish us luck!
