*11*PROPERTIES OF ROUGH VS. POLISHED GEMSTONES/RAMONA MOORE
MAN HAS BEEN FASHIONING UTENSILS AND TOOLS OUT OF STONES FOR CENTURIES, OUT OF NECESSITY. AS HE DEVELOPED BASIC MACHINERY, SUCH AS THE WHEEL, THIS LEFT HIM WITH MORE TIME TO CREATE OBJECTS OF ADORNMENT, AS PART OF HIS CREATION PROCESS. FASHIONING BEADS AND AMULETS TO WEAR WAS HIS NEXT NATURAL STEP TO TAKE, IN RELATING TO HIS ENVIRONMENT, AND TO PLEASE HIS MATE. IT WAS EARLY MAN WHO FELT THE PRESENCE OF ENERGY IN MANY DIFFERENT STONES, WHETHER THEY WERE PRECIOUS, OR SEMI-PRECI
*12*PINK/BLACK/GREEN/SHELL GEMSTONE NECKLACES/RAMONA MOORE/1
WHEN WE PICK OUT A DRESS OR SHIRT FROM A SELECTION OF MANY COLORS, WHICH ONE, OR ONES, DO WE GRAVITATE TO? THE COLORS WE CHOOSE TO WEAR REVEAL MUCH ABOUT THE STAGES WE ARE GOING THROUGH. WHETHER CONSCIOUSLY OR UNCONSCIOUSLY, WE FIND REFUGE IN DRAPING OURSELVES IN COLORS THAT ARE NOT ONLY PLEASING TO THE EYE, WE ACTUALLY CHOOSE COLORS THAT SUPPORT OUR EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING. PEOPLE THAT CHOOSE TO WEAR PINK ARE MORE HEART-CENTERED, PEOPLE THAT CHOOSE TO WEAR GREEN ARE USUALLY MOR
*13*HOT STONES FOR RELAXATION/REIKI TREATMENT UPGRADE/RAMONA MOORE
UTILIZING THE HOT STONES AT THE BEGINNING OF THE REIKI TREATMENT PROMOTE RELAXATION. IT IS ALSO AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO PROVIDE RELIEF TO STIFF MUSCLES AND JOINTS. WHAT HAPPENS DURING A REIKI TREATMENT WITH HOT STONES APPLIED FIRST? IT IS A FORM OF ALTERNATIVE THERAPY. IT IS USED TO HELP YOU RELAX AND EASE TENSE MUSCLES AND SOFT TISSUES THROUGHOUT THE BODY. DURING A HOT STONE PLACEMENT, SMOOTH, FLAT, HEATED STONES ARE PLACED ON SPECIFIC PARTS OF YOUR BODY. THE STONES ARE USUALLY
*14*BLUE/GOLD GEMSTONE NECKLACES/RAMONA MOORE/4
WHEN ONE LOOKS AT THE SKY, ONE IS REMINDED OF THE IMMENSITY OF POSSIBILITIES THAT LIE WITHIN OUR REACH. BLUE STONES ENGAGE US TO SPEAK OUR TRUTH. OUR AWARENESS OF LIFE IS REFLECTED IN THE COLORS WE CHOOSE TO WEAR. BLUE IS THE COLOR ASSOCIATED WITH COMMUNICATION, AND MENTAL ACTIVITY. GOLD IS THE COLOR OF THE SUN, SOMETHING WE CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT. WEARING YELLOW AND GOLD COLORS BRIGHTENS EVEN OUR 'GRAYEST' DAY. (1) A SPECTACULAR EXPRESSION OF 4 STONES IN ONE STERLING SILVER PEN
*15*PURPLE/GREEN/GOLD GEMSTONE NECKLACES/RAMONA MOORE/3
INTO THE "HEART AND SOUL SOUP," WE STIR IN A GENEROUS PORTION OF AMETHYST/CHAROITE/LEPIDOLITE/FLUORITE--CALLIGRAPHY STONE (MARIAM JASPER)-- SERAPHINITE AND MOONSTONE ARE THE MAIN INGREDIENTS! ADD A DASH OF AMETRINE (AMETHYST & CITRINE COMBINED) FOR FLAVOR, AND FOR SPICE, LOTS OF STERLING SILVER! (1)THE BOTTOM PICTURED PENDANT IS ALSO KNOWN AS MARIAM JASPER, AKA ELEPHANT SKIN JASPER, ALSO CALLED THE CALLIGRAPHY (YELLOW/GOLD) STONE. AT WITH THE SAME STONE IN BEADS, I ADDED AMET
*16*TURQUOISE/KYANITE/GASPEITE/RAMONA MOORE/18
THIS NEWEST CREATION COMBINES THE EXQUISIT OLD GREEN TURQUOISE FROM A MINE IN NEVADA, THAT IS NOW CLOSED. IT IS PAIRED WITH THE GEMMY IRIDESCENCE OF BLUE KYANITE, SET IN A STERLING SILVER & GOLD PLATED DESIGN THAT SHOWS ITS TRUE BEAUTY. BECAUSE BEADS OF THE OLD TURQUOISE ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND, I PAIRED IT WITH GASPEITE, FROM AUSTRALIA - ANOTHER STONE THAT IS NOW HIGHLY PRIZED, FOR ITS UNUSUAL COLOR, (YELLOW-GREEN). THE STERLING SILVER BEADS THAT I USED ARE OLD, BUT NOT ANTIQ
*17*REIKI STONES/(4) MONOCLINIC/RAMONA MOORE
STONES THAT ARE FORMED IN A PARALLELOGRAM ARE CALLED MONOCLINIC STONES. SELENITE--AZURITE--JADE--NEPHRITE--KUNZITE--MOONSTONE--MALACHITE--LEPIDOLITE, ALL FALL UNDER THIS CATEGORY. SUNSHINE ALWAYS FOLLOWS THE RAIN, IS THE MOTTO OF THIS FORMATION. TEACHING US TO TRUST OUR PROCESSES, AND TO NOT ALLOW OURSELVES TO 'CAVE IN' TO OUR FLUCTUATING MOODS, IS THE WORK OF THE MONOCLINIC STONE. REMEMBERING THAT WHAT GOES UP, MUST ALWAYS EVENTUALLY COME DOWN, IS A BASIC PRINCIPLE THAT WORK
*18*AROMATHERAPY FOR THE REIKI TREATMENT/RAMONA MOORE
Our strongest sense can bring back memories that can evoke a myriad of emotions. Just one inhalation can lead us into joy, or it can send us spiraling out of control, reminding us of the unpleasantries that this world can offer. I find that one or more fragrances introduced before the REIKI treatment can enhance it, particularly if the choice brings a level of relaxation. As all plants emit a fragrance, they each have their own frequency they operate within, the energetic lev
*19*GEMSTONE JEWELRY/INTRODUCTION/RAMONA MOORE
This photograph was taken at The Herb Shop, in Grant's Pass, Oregon, in 2014. I had the pleasure of creating many necklace and earring sets for the owner for purchase by our customers. I am the taller, Carly was also an employee. I am still working on Saturdays. *Man's fascination with shiny or dull, clear or opaque rocks and minerals, has been an ongoing process of discovery, as we adorn and acquaint ourselves with the elements of this planet. It is the belief of many people
