Linda has almost finished restocking our chakra packs!

Sue has created 4 subtly different sets of crystals and clear guides on their purpose and use. Choose from a standard or gentle rainbow, a gentle or spiritual pack.

Every beautiful kit is individually chosen to include a nicely balanced set that will work harmoniously to help you balance your energy and support your wellbeing.

You can find them here: https://www.sueweaver.co.uk/chakra

We also have a carefully chosen selection of chakra bracelets and other jewellery!

Would you like to practise a chakra balance with crystals? Ask us your questions and we’ll see if we can help 💗

One of the better known sites in the Isle of Man - King Orry's Grave.
Conveniently by a road but strangely right behind a house with a gate into their yard!
I didn't see the stone face until just now!

We feel so honoured to have an amazing team of women who contribute to Sue Weaver Crystals!

Many of you will be familiar with our friend Linda's beautiful work with feathers, which she learned whilst living in America. We have 12 new smudging or prayer feathers, made exclusively for us in ceremony by Linda, using ethically sourced materials. Each piece is thoughtfully composed in a sacred way to incorporate the energy and language of the feathers into your ceremonies.

We are showing you a selection of these here - they will be going on the website this week but if you'd like to purchase one before they go public, please email us or send us a message! Each one is £27 + p&p and you could stock up on sage at the same time!

ROCK-FORMING MINERALS

INTRODUCTION
Rock-forming minerals are the most abundant minerals in the Earth’s crust. They combine in different ways to form various types of rocks. The diagram below presents these minerals in a tree-like structure, showing their major groups and examples.

Rock-forming minerals are naturally occurring inorganic substances that make up rocks. They have definite chemical compositions and crystalline structures.

MAJOR GROUPS OF ROCK-FORMING MINERALS
The image below organizes rock-forming minerals into several important groups:

1. SILICATE MINERALS
These are the most abundant minerals and are made up of silicon and oxygen.

a. FELDSPARS
~ Examples: Potash feldspar, Soda-lime feldspar

~ Importance: Most abundant mineral group in the Earth’s crust

~ Found in: Igneous rocks like granite

b. QUARTZ
~ Types: Crystalline and Non-crystalline

~ Characteristics: Hard, resistant to weathering
Found in: Sandstones, granites

2. FERROMAGNESIAN MINERALS
Rich in iron (Fe) and magnesium (Mg), usually dark in colour.

a. PYROXENES
~ Examples: Augite, Diopside, Enstatite

~ Characteristics: Dark, dense minerals

~ Found in: Basalt and gabbro

b. AMPHIBOLES
~ Examples: Hornblende, Actinolite, Tremolite

~ Characteristics: Elongated crystals

~ Found in: Metamorphic and igneous rocks

3. SHEET SILICATES

• MICAS
~ Examples: Biotite, Muscovite, Phlogopite

~ Characteristics: Split easily into thin sheets (perfect cleavage)

~ Uses: Electrical insulation, heat resistance

4. OTHER IMPORTANT MINERAL GROUPS

a. GARNETS
~ Examples: Pyrope, Almandine, Andradite

~ Characteristics: Hard, often used as gemstones

~ Found in: Metamorphic rocks

b. OLIVINE GROUP
Green-colored minerals

~ Found in: Mantle rocks and basalt

c. ZEOLITES
Hydrated minerals

~ Used in: Water purification and industrial processes

d. CALCITE
• Main component of limestone

• Reacts with acids

e. DOLOMITE
Similar to calcite but contains magnesium

f. CHLORITES
• Green minerals found in low-grade metamorphic rocks

g. SERPENTINE
Soft, green minerals formed from alteration of olivine

h. TOURMALINE & STAUROLITE
Common accessory minerals in metamorphic rocks

From the Diagram:

• Minerals are grouped based on chemical composition and structure

• Silicates dominate the Earth’s crust

• Some rocks may lack definite minerals (e.g., volcanic glass)

• Most rocks contain combinations of these mineral groups

IMPORTANCE OF ROCK-FORMING MINERALS

• Help in identifying rock types

• Useful in understanding Earth’s processes

• Provide raw materials for industries

• Used in construction and manufacturing

CONCLUSION
Rock-forming minerals are fundamental to geology. Understanding their classification and characteristics helps geologists interpret the origin, composition, and history of rocks in the Earth’s crust.

Linda and I would like to share a practical healing tip that really blew us away this week! Linda broke her arm badly last year and hadn’t been able to close her fist since. When she arrived with us, she decided to try using malachite to see if it helped the joints, as this has a reputation for helping with joints and joint pain.

In these photos you can see Linda’s hand and wrist. In the first photo, taken first thing in the morning, she can’t close her fingers. In the second, taken ten minutes later after putting on malachite bracelet, she can! For Linda, it’s nothing short of a miracle! If you are suffering from joint pain and stiffness, especially if it’s caused by arthritis or injury, it might be worth giving malachite a try too!

Sue is travelling to do exciting things and Mary must be supervised by a Linda at all times… we’re not sure if there is much chance of mischief being avoided by this combination!

Newly arrived - we have some absolutely gorgeous little Pink Lemurian Quartz crystals. The gorgeous subtle pink colour is usually created by Lithium but occasionally Iron is involved.

These crystals are so lovely, with a subtle yet powerful heart-opening energy along with the deep wisdom always associated with Lemurians.

Lemurian Quartz Crystals, also known as Lemurians/Lemurian Seed Crystals/Lemurian Starseed Crystals, were first found in the Diamantina region of Brazil. I have recently read that Lemurians have since been found in other areas of the world.

Often they have a semi frosted appearance but internally they are super clear. You may find subtle or deep horizontal striations that resemble barcodes.

Lemurian crystals are considered to carry the energy of the ancient lost civilisation of Lemuria. It is believed that the people planted light codes of ancient knowledge and wisdom within the crystals that could be stored until the time was right to be revealed. These codes can help us to grow emotionally, mentally and spiritually, moving towards a higher frequency of living in harmony with all that is.

We had a relatively quiet Crystal Open Day yesterday so a bit of tidying happened.
One of our Quartz boxes received some attention and a few rather gorgeous little Lemurians were photographed and added to the shop 🙂✨

We're so happy with these beautiful little butterflies on stands. I bought all 6 that were available and wish I could have bought more. These are little treasures!

If you want to bag one now, please comment below the main photograph with the number of the piece you want. Please do not comment on later photographs because we might not see it and we don't want anyone to be disappointed.

In June it will be 37 years since crystals called loudly enough to change my life and yet new treasures appear all the time.
These beautiful Purple Agates from Madagascar were introduced to me earlier this year. I was strongly attracted to them. Do they call to you?
