Rose Flame

When you are experiencing— 

• A need for greater emotional resilience
• Feeling weighed down by old and limiting emotions
• A desire to free yourself from subconscious emotional patterns
• Reluctance to open yourself to new relationships
• A desire for more love in your life
• Difficulty forgiving yourself or feeling self-compassion
• A sense that your emotions are negatively affecting your physical well-being

When you want to—

• Experience greater emotional freedom
• Feel more emotionally resilient
• Strengthen your heart chakra
• Open your heart to new love
• More easily forgive yourself
• Clear subconscious and burdensome emotional history from your subtle bodies
• Release unwanted emotional energy from your physical tissue

Experiences that affect us emotionally—whether mildly, intensely, or somewhere in between—tend to leave energetic residues in our emotional bodies. If not cleared, these residues accumulate, clouding our emotional responses and adversely affecting our physical health. Stagnant emotional energies can lock us into unproductive behaviors, hampering our freedom to make clear, healthy choices and use our emotional energies wisely. Without a sense of emotional freedom and clarity, we may act out patterns we’re not even conscious of.

Rose Flame’s gemstone formula initiates a wave of cleansing energy throughout the emotional body. This energy loosens and dissolves the limiting emotional patterns that have been locked in the subconscious by fear and doubt. The Roselle and Sugilite form a synergy that combines Roselle's emotional work with Sugilite's uplifting and purifying flame, which transforms clouds of negative emotions into neutral light.

At the same time, Rose Flame shines the light of higher consciousness on cloudy areas of heavy emotion, allowing your emotional body to more easily release any burdensome emotional history. In these ways, Rose Flame engenders a greater sense of emotional freedom.

The energy of Rose Flame opens and strengthens the heart chakra. It reminds the body that there is no greater force than love. Grounded in this love and unencumbered by limiting patterns, you become more self-forgiving and emotionally resilient. Your heart is freer to open to new love.

With emotional freedom comes greater vitality to make the changes needed in any area of your life. The possibilities for positive changes increase. The process initiated by Rose Flame is akin to turning on the light in a room where you have been lost in the darkness. The shadows cast by old emotional patterns are dispelled. With the light of awareness, the emotional body is better able to maneuver; it can now see what was holding it back and where it needs to go. Instead of walking around in your life emotionally bumping into things—events, people, experiences—you have the strength and clarity to use your emotional energies more masterfully.

Rose Flame also releases emotional energy that has gotten stuck in your physical tissue, where it does not belong. This effect is secondary to the necklace’s actions in the emotional body.

The Sugilite’s energetic protection supports the healing process in both the emotional and physical bodies.

Two Versions of Rose Flame

Rose Flame is formulated in two sizes. Each size provides a slightly different emphasis in the first phases of the necklace’s work.

Larger Rose Flame

The larger version contains 10 mm Roselle, Sugilite, and Riverstone spheres. By first filling the emotional field with gentle waves of clearing energy, this version begins its work there before uplifting the emotional energies that may be stuck in the physical tissue. This version more strongly encourages the heart chakra to stir and open than the smaller version.

Smaller Rose Flame

This version contains 8 mm Roselle and Sugilite and 6 mm Riverstone spheres. It focuses its clearing waves through the physical tissue with a little more intensity before filling the emotional field and stirring the heart.

Pairing Rose Flame with Other Gemstones

Rose Flame pairs well with either a Mother of Pearl or a Pink Sapphire necklace.

Wear It Around Your Neck

One of the most powerful and convenient ways to use a Rose Flame 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. 

In addition to wearing a Rose Flame necklace around your neck, you can hold the necklace over an area of the body that you suspect contains stuck emotional energy to help loosen and liberate the energy. Keep the necklace in place for 15 to 30 minutes. 

Caution: Do not place Rose Flame directly over the heart.

Cleanse Rose Flame 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 Rose Flame necklace. Learn more about these methods.

Plant Rejuvenation: In addition to daily rinsing, once a month 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: Every day of wear, rinse the gems in alternating warm and cold water. Pour a few drops of mild liquid soap onto your fingers, and let the soap run down the gemstones to remove any body oils or dirt.

Clay Cleanse: For deeper cleansing, occasionally perform a bentonite clay bath or pack, though no more than once every two weeks.

Special Note: Avoid cleansing in direct sunlight, which is incompatible with Sugilite.

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.

Created in partnership with a naturopathic doctor, Rose Flame reminds you there is no greater healing force than love. With this awareness, instead of unconsciously stumbling into emotional experiences, you gain the clarity to use your emotional energies more masterfully.

Therapeutic Quality Rose Flame

Rose Flame contains Roselle (Rose Quartz), Sugilite, and Riverstone.

Roselle (Rose Quartz)

Therapeutic-quality Roselle is translucent but not to the point of being optical in quality. It is neither cloudy nor clear. Its consistency and color resemble a rose mist that permeates the entire sphere. Very minor inclusions within Roselle are part of its nature and do not diminish its therapeutic effects. However, any dullness, cloudiness, uncharacteristic color, dark inclusions, surface fissures, gouges, or poor drill holes hamper Roselle’s effectiveness. Large drill holes diminish the strength of Roselle’s radiance. Smaller drill holes allow Roselle’s energy to penetrate the aura more quickly.

Non-dyed vs. Dyed Roselle: Only natural, fine pink, gem-quality Roselle should be used therapeutically. Roselle is by nature a delicate light pink. To the untrained eye, this natural pink color may appear somewhat pale, especially when compared to dyed Roselle. Nearly all the Roselle spheres available today have been dyed in an attempt to make them look like gem-quality Roselle. Natural Roselle of a fine pink color is rare.

Although dye might make the Roselle appear higher in quality, it is a harmful irritant, which inhibits Roselle’s action. Natural Roselle calms and soothes the emotions; the soothing, massaging motion of its energy allows hidden feelings to emerge. Dyed Roselle, on the other hand, expresses an irritating energy. This energy can be so strong that, when worn, dyed Roselle can make you feel like crying or expressing anger. You may think that the Roselle is helping you to release suppressed emotions. On the contrary, the interaction of the dye with the Roselle energy creates an irritation that causes unnecessary upset. Dyed Roselle can also place stress on the chakras, which will brace themselves in self-protection against the energy of the dyed Roselle.

To guarantee that a Roselle necklace is free of dye, it must be examined under a microscope.

Therapeutic vs. Optical Quality: Optical-quality Roselle has slightly different effects from optimal therapeutic quality Roselle. Optical Roselle’s energy is more abrupt, even harsh. It can tear into the wearer’s energetic fabric, ripping open pockets of suppressed emotion.

For this reason, optical Roselle can be used for short periods when someone has an immediate need to understand his feelings about an issue. This may be the case when someone must make an important decision, or when finding clarity has become difficult because a situation has become emotionally overwhelming. Optical-quality Roselle will cut through the grief, anger, frustration, or other emotion so that the person can examine his true feelings.

Optical Roselle should not be worn for more than one or two days at a time, and often five to 15 minutes are sufficient. It is best applied under the care of a professional gem therapist or a well-trained layperson.

Sugilite

Sugilite is a very rare purple earthstone. Its purple color ranges from light to dark and from true purple to magenta, with all shades and variations in between. Sugilite’s color is most accurately seen outdoors or in direct sunlight.

In the Earth, Sugilite develops in proximity to other minerals, which are then commonly found in Sugilite beads. Two of these minerals—one black and one white—are beneficial and work synergistically with the Sugilite. They give each Sugilite bead a unique appearance and pattern of color. In some cases, the black mineral deepens and darkens the purple, and the white mineral lightens the purple color to lavender. In other cases, the black and white minerals appear as distinct patches and give the bead a mottled appearance. In still other cases, the black and white minerals mix to appear gray to the naked eye.

Other colored minerals are also commonly found in Sugilite beads. These minerals appear as areas of colorless translucency or silver. The influence of the colorless translucent material is neutral; it neither supports nor inhibits Sugilite’s effects. Any patches of metallic-silver color renders the bead non-therapeutic (these metallic-looking patches appear distinctly different from the gray areas described above). Gemisphere’s Sugilite necklaces contain no metallic-silver areas.

An overall maroon-brown appearance in a Sugilite necklace is not harmful but diminishes the necklace’s therapeutic effects. These necklaces can still be therapeutic in quality but are at the lower end of the therapeutic-quality scale.

To be therapeutic, each Sugilite necklace must possess a consistent hue and pattern of coloration overall. Because of the need for consistency, plus the wide-ranging diversity of Sugilite’s appearance, creating a therapeutic necklace is challenging. For this reason, each Gemisphere Sugilite necklace is special and entirely unique.

Translucent Sugilite: An extremely rare form of Sugilite is pure purple and appears translucent when held up to a light source. It is often referred to as “gel” or “jelly” Sugilite. This type of Sugilite can draw out the greatest range of unwanted energies both in the physical and subtle bodies. At this time, necklaces made entirely of gel Sugilite are nearly impossible to obtain. However, the highest quality Gemisphere necklaces contain areas or entire beads of gel Sugilite, which appears in these necklaces either as a distinct translucency or as a crystalline sheen.

Spherical Shape: Because of the relatively soft nature of Sugilite, and the varying densities of the harder black and white minerals that may be mixed within it, gem cutters have difficulty forming Sugilite into perfect spheres. Gemisphere’s Sugilite is clearly spherical and carefully polished, but on closer inspection you may find a few beads that are not impeccably round. These slight variations in shape do not detract from their therapeutic value.

Our Sugilite Necklaces: To ensure our Sugilite’s therapeutic value, we obtain the gemstones in rough form and then have them cut to our unique specifications.

Riverstone

Therapeutic-quality Riverstone is creamy tan with patches and veins of white or light brownish-white. Riverstone is a soft gem and must be shaped into spheres carefully. Beware of Riverstone spheres that have been sprayed with a clear coating to keep the stones from deteriorating; this coating renders the Riverstone non-therapeutic. Gemisphere’s Riverstone has a slightly shiny appearance created by the final polish given to the spheres during cutting. This polish does not affect the stones’ therapeutic value and wears off over time with use and proper cleansing. Gemisphere offers only untreated, therapeutic-quality Riverstone.
