Star Aqua contains Aquamarine, White Beryl, Blue Sapphire, and Indigo spheres.

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 rounded chips 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.

White Beryl

Therapeutic White Beryl is colorless. To the naked eye, the gems contain no spots, clouds, or foreign matter. A very minimal number of small cracks and inclusions are acceptable. However, too many of them will hinder the white light from passing through the gem.

The clearer and brighter the White Beryl, the better it will be at cleansing lymph. Indeed, the gems' quality will be directly reflected in the quality of the lymph. Muddy, cloudy, and included White Beryl gems will tend to manifest similarly burdened lymph. Clear, bright, therapeutic quality White Beryl will encourage clear, clean, and bright lymph.

Gemisphere’s therapeutic White Beryl rondels are cut from the finest quality crystals. To ensure our White Beryl's superior therapeutic value, we obtain the gemstones in rough form and then have them cut to our unique specifications.

Blue Sapphire

Not all Blue Sapphire is pure enough to emanate the energy required to produce the gem’s therapeutic effects. Blue Sapphire that is itself filled with flaws, contaminants, and impurities cannot be expected to clear impurities from the mind and head.

Four primary factors determine Blue Sapphire quality: color, clarity, consistency, and a trait called gem candescence.

An accurate assessment of Blue Sapphire’s color and clarity requires a microscope. Ideal Sapphire is a rich, true blue—neither too pale nor too indigo. Only a microscope, which allows you to see how light passes through the gemstone, can reveal Blue Sapphire's true color. A microscope also lets you see whether the gem contains even the slightest black tinge. This is essential, because any black coloration is a severe contaminant that nullifies all of Blue Sapphire's effects. Even a wisp of black renders Blue Sapphire non-therapeutic.

The greater its clarity, the more energy a Blue Sapphire can radiate. Common inclusions found in Blue Sapphire are impurities, such as rock matrix, white clouds, and a toxic yellow discoloration that renders the Sapphire non-therapeutic.

Consistency is also an important element in a therapeutic Blue Sapphire necklace. Inconsistency in the color, clarity, or size of spheres within a necklace creates a distraction, which the Blue Sapphire energy must first overcome before it can do its work. This is one reason why most Blue Sapphire necklaces are not therapeutic or are much less therapeutic than their other quality parameters might indicate.

Gem candescence is an optical quality possessed by some Blue Sapphire. A bead displaying gem candescence looks like a drop of liquid Blue Sapphire. In the Sapphire in which it is found, gem candescence is an intense outpouring of the blue ray, making the Sapphire look like its own source of pure blue light. Its liquid appearance is an energetic quality that allows the Sapphire energy to access the mind instantly. All other factors being equal, gem-candescent Blue Sapphire is many times more powerful than Blue Sapphire without gem candescence.

Our therapeutic Blue Sapphire rondels are cut from high quality crystals usually reserved for making faceted gems. To ensure our Sapphire’s superior therapeutic value, we obtain the gemstones in rough form and then have the rondels cut to our unique specifications. Consequently, we offer the highest quality therapeutic Blue Sapphire necklaces available anywhere. We also examine each Blue Sapphire rondel under a microscope to determine its therapeutic quality category and to eliminate any beads containing toxic contaminants.

Indigo

To accurately determine its quality, Indigo must be observed with a light source behind it. A light source reveals therapeutic Indigo’s true indigo-blue color and translucency. Without it, the Indigo’s color appears much darker, and its translucency disappears.

As the crystalline form of Sodalight, Indigo shares Sodalight’s tendency to contain white streaks or clouds. The finest quality Indigo is neon-like cobalt blue, translucent, and free from white clouds. As spheres move away from this finest quality, they contain more white and are less translucent. Spheres that are nearly opaque are of low therapeutic value. Spheres in which the white overtakes the indigo hue are non-therapeutic.

Like Sodalight, Indigo can become whiter as it absorbs negative energies from the environment and from your aura. This cloudiness may take as long as years or as little as weeks to develop. The Indigo remains effective, however, until the cloudiness overwhelms the indigo color of the spheres.

Wear It Around Your Neck

The best way to use a Star 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

The energies of Star Aqua should be approached with the same time guidelines as those of White Beryl, so that the detoxification and clearing process does not proceed too quickly. For the first few days or weeks of use, Star Aqua should be worn only for an hour or two at a time until the physical body can integrate and fully respond to the higher vibrations. This is especially true for the 26-inch Star Aqua, which contains more White Beryl and larger rondels than the 20-inch necklace. Pace yourself until you feel that your body has finished cleansing. 

Cleanse Star 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.

Because of Star Aqua’s high White Beryl content, in the first few weeks you are wearing it, cleanse the necklace several times a day. Thereafter, cleanse it daily. You can use any of the following methods to cleanse your Star Aqua necklace. Learn more about these methods.

Plant Rejuvenation: Wrap the necklace around the base of a healthy houseplant or lay the necklace in its branches every day of wear

Salt Bed: Every day of wear, 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.

Sunbath: Once a week, lay the necklace in sunlight for a maximum of 5 minutes at a time.

Caution: Avoid rinsing and clay cleansing, which will dull Indigo’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.
