Earth Aqua

Earth Aqua highlights the liquid, restorative action of Aquamarine, which reclaims and reawakens each person’s original blueprint for optimal health. The Aquamarine is combined with rounded crystals of Light Green Aventurine and Agate to focus its rejuvenating powers in particular ways. Specifically, Earth Aqua enhances the inherent power of the physical body to heal through the forces of nature. It offsets some of the draining effects that occur when the human body is enmeshed in electromagnetic pollution. It also alleviates the stress of being separated from nature by an overabundance of modern technology, life lived in buildings, and lifestyles that lack sufficient time to rejuvenate in nature’s rhythm.

Earth Aqua carries Agate’s earth energies with Aquamarine’s watery elements into the tissues of the body. The Agate grounds the Aquamarine’s restorative effects in the physical body, while the Light Green Aventurine uplifts the vitality of the organs and cells. The Aquamarine used in this necklace is on the green-blue spectrum, with the green tone strong enough to slow the rushing waters of Aquamarine’s action and direct it into the body’s physical structure. The Agate and Light Green Aventurine channel the Aquamarine’s liquidity and DNA-awakening effects to focus on the physical body first before rising through the subtle fields.

The Longevity Collection

Earth Aqua is part of Gemisphere’s Longevity Collection. This group of therapeutic necklaces restores and encourages the optimal functioning of the physical organs and subtle-body energy systems that are commonly damaged by age, environmental stress, toxins, and the general wear and tear of living.

The other necklaces in the Longevity Collection are Star Aqua, Apatite Vitality, Apatite Strength, and Apatite Purity.

The best way to use an Earth Aqua necklace is to wear it around your neck. There the gems will silently work for you as you go about your day. At night while you are sleeping, you can wear the necklace or keep it within three feet of your body to maintain your connection with the gems. 

Time Guidelines

Earth Aqua can be worn continuously. However, it is always wise to be sensitive to your body’s responses. If you start to feel a headache or significant discomfort, take the necklace off for a while. Then allow your body time to adjust to the changes initiated by the gems by wearing them for only an hour or two a day. Gradually increase this time until you can comfortably wear the gems for as long and often as you wish.

Cleanse Earth Aqua Regularly

To maintain their effectiveness, therapeutic gemstones need regular care. As the gems help us release energetic impurities, some of these energies cling to the gems’ surface and inhibit their ability to work at their peak capacity. A simple energetic cleansing will clear these energies and restore the gems to their naturally vibrant state. You can use any of the following methods to cleanse your Earth Aqua necklace. Learn more about these methods.

Plant Rejuvenation: 2 – 3 times a week, wrap the necklace around the base of a healthy houseplant or lay the necklace in its branches.

Salt Bed: 2 – 3 times a week, lay the gems in a half-inch of salt for at least an hour or overnight. Place a thin natural-fiber cloth between the salt and the gems.

Water Rinse: Rinse the gems daily for the first two weeks, then 2 – 3 times a week.

Special Notes: Placing Light Green Aventurine in direct sunlight bleaches the dark green flecks in the gemstones. Therefore, when cleansing Earth Aqua outdoors, do so in a shady spot and for no longer than five minutes.

Avoid clay cleansing, which will dull the Light Green Aventurine’s polish.

When Your Necklace First Arrives

When you put on a new necklace or one you haven’t worn for a while, bring it into your aura with consciousness and a clear intent. We call this “practicing presence.” By opening yourself to the gems’ energies and consciously cooperating with the process of change, you can greatly enhance the gemstones’ benefits.

Therapeutic Quality Earth Aqua

Earth Aqua necklaces contain Aquamarine, Light Green Aventurine, and Agate.

Aquamarine

The characteristics of therapeutic Aquamarine vary more than those of most other gemstones. Even the finest Aquamarine necklaces vary in mass, clarity, hue, and depth of color.

Aquamarine naturally occurs in a wide range of color from green to blue, and nearly all Aquamarine is a mixture of both colors. All characteristics being equal, the green aspect focuses primarily on the physical body, while the blue aspect works on both the physical and subtle bodies. The more that blue dominates in the blue-green mix, the more the Aquamarine will focus on the mind. Because the mind has such a powerful influence on the body, the deeper the blue of the Aquamarine, the more effective the Aquamarine will be. Aquamarine color also ranges in intensity from deep and rich to colorless. The depth of Aquamarine’s color determines how deeply its energy can penetrate and affect the aura and body.

Aquamarine clarity spans a continuum from opaque to flawless, with all degrees of cloudiness and flaws in between. Opaque and even moderately cloudy Aquamarine are not therapeutic. Slightly cloudy Aquamarine can be therapeutic if it displays a radiant brightness and good color. Although slightly cloudy Aquamarine takes much longer to produce effects than clear Aquamarine, it may be preferable for people who need a more moderate pace of change. The energy of clear or nearly flawless Aquamarine moves rapidly into the aura and body, where it quickly begins to open awareness and reveal truths.

Aquamarine's color is often enhanced through heat or dye. Although heat treatment does not inhibit Aquamarine’s energy, it also doesn’t strengthen it. Despite its improved appearance, the heated Aquamarine will continue to project its original, probably rather low quality of energy. Dye, on the other hand, renders Aquamarine therapeutically useless. Low-quality Aquamarine chips, in particular, are often dyed blue. The dye artificially deepens the gemstones’ color but blocks the Aquamarine from radiating any healing energy into the aura and body.

Irradiation of Aquamarine results in the death of the crystal. It destroys the life energy of the gemstone and replaces it with an extremely disharmonious energy. If irradiated Aquamarine is worn, this disharmony will be projected into the aura. The destructive emanations of irradiated Aquamarine will first affect the mind, disrupting mental processes, distorting one's view of reality, and gradually wreaking havoc on the mind's harmony. Eventually, irradiated Aquamarine will distort the emotions as well.

Our therapeutic Aquamarine necklaces and strands are made with Aquamarine gems that have been cut from high quality crystals reserved for making faceted gems. They vary in color from green-aqua to pale blue-aqua to deep Caribbean blue. We offer the highest quality therapeutic Aquamarine necklaces and strands available anywhere.

Light Green Aventurine

The parameters for therapeutic quality in Light Green Aventurine are similar in many ways to those of Dark Green Aventurine. The primary difference is that Light Green Aventurine contains many fewer dark-green flecks than Dark Green Aventurine. Indeed, a proper balance of dark-green flecks in a light green base is crucial to Light Green Aventurine’s effectiveness. If more than 25 percent of its surface displays flecks, the effects of Dark Green Aventurine will begin to dominate and therefore undermine the action of the Light Green Aventurine.

The overall color of Light Green Aventurine is pale green with a slight bluish tint. With a light source behind it, the dark green flecks become more apparent, and the gem can sometimes appear bright, crystalline, and translucent.

The vast majority of Light Green Aventurine available today has been dyed to make it resemble higher-quality Aventurine. Any dye applied to either Light or Dark Green Aventurine makes it non-therapeutic. Gemisphere uses only natural, non-dyed Light Green Aventurine.

Agate

A therapeutic quality Agate necklace has a good balance of many different earthtone colors. Agate expresses the earthtone version of the rainbow colors. Thus, a therapeutic necklace has spheres of pink, teal, blue-gray, yellow-green, red-green, red-lavender, lavender, or other colors, shades, and color combinations. These variations of color in an Agate necklace offer a broader and richer experience of Agate’s benefits. Each person’s body is unique and comprised of unique vibrations. A therapeutic Agate necklace contains spheres that can fill all types of vibrational deficiencies in the person who wears it.

Agate’s colors should be strong, distinct, and clear. Pale, pastel-colored Agate does not emanate its vibrations strongly enough to affect most people. Agate with strong colors provides the body with stronger and clearer earthtone support. This is particularly crucial today, when the physical body must contend with so many physical stimuli. The noise of modern life overwhelms the body's ability to hear the subtle sounds of nature. In order for nature to speak to the human body, it must do so loudly and clearly.

Therapeutic quality Agate occurs in a range of clarity, from opaque to various grades of translucency. The spheres in an Agate necklace should contain a consistent degree of clarity.
