Stones I use in my Jewelry currently (February 2025)

I love using stones and crystals in my work as way of medicine and I wanted to share some that I'm currently using in my jewelry. In the past I've created a range of intentional jewelry from protection and peace to sobriety support. Earth medicine is a natural element for me to create with. When someone commissions or requests for a custom piece, that's when I really enjoy creating and sharing a piece of me with you. I'm writing summary pieces on each stone, and it will not be a deep dive on my part. please deep dive and research on your own accord. Below is a picture of one of my necklaces I was commissioned for:

Necklace with a variety of stones made by The Rising Dandelion

Garnet

Garnet is a favorite of mine to use for a variety of reasons. Protection, grounding, and different properties for healing. Garnet will sharpen your perception and help you release what no longer is balanced, healthy, loving, supportive, or adding value into your life. It helps with bringing balance to different chakras, Root, Solar plexus, and Heart energy center. Garnet is a lucky stone, and will help boost your self confidence. The Garnet I currently use is Almandine Garnet which is a dark red, blood like color if you're interested in researching more on this stone.
