Lavender Fire

The Lavender Fire necklace offers the therapeutic benefits of Blue Sapphire and the blue ray, though to a lesser degree than a solid necklace of rounded Blue Sapphire gemstone crystals. The Quartz and Lavender in the necklace amplify the Sapphire's energy and enhance the flow of blue ray throughout your being. Thus, Lavender Fire affects your mind and body as though it contains more Blue Sapphire than it actually does. Like a solid necklace of Blue Sapphire, Lavender Fire awakens you to the vast, unexplored areas of your own mind.  

Lavender Fire incorporates the numbers one through four to draw the blue ray from the source of all color rays through your inner aspects to your physical body. Because this source is characterized by oneness—one essence, one Spirit, and the absence of all duality— it is symbolized by the number one. Hence, on either side of Lavender Fire’s gold clasp, the first sections in which Sapphire appears each contain one Sapphire. Each successive section has one more Sapphire than the previous one, with the final two sections containing four Sapphires each. The number four helps draw the blue ray to your physical body. The ascending numbers concentrate the Sapphire energy, so that it enters your throat chakra and head with much greater force than it would if all the Sapphires were simply placed near your throat chakra.

Ideally, the front center of Lavender Fire should lie close to your throat chakra, which has a natural tendency to draw the blue ray into the head. The Sapphire and blue ray energies entering the throat affect the head, brain, and sensory organs in the same way that a solid necklace of Sapphire does, though not to the same degree. The specific arrangement of Lavender and Quartz in this necklace helps the Sapphire energy enter areas of your mind that otherwise could be accessed only if you wore a greater mass of Sapphire.

Lavender Fire enhances your mind's ability to communicate with all aspects of your being so that you can function as one unified organism. As you work toward realizing your mind’s full potential, Lavender Fire encourages the expansion of your mind’s conscious capacity. Thus, Lavender Fire awakens you to the vast, unexplored areas of your own mind.

One of the most powerful and convenient ways to use a Lavender Fire 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. 

Special Therapies

You can also use Lavender Fire for more focused treatments. The simplest treatment is to place it on a specific area of your body to focus its healing energies there. For example, you can curl up the necklace and place it on an ailing, injured, or painful area to accelerate the area’s recovery. Here are two other therapies you can perform with Lavender Fire:

Mind-Body Connection Therapy

This Lavender Fire therapy accelerates the healing of a physical area by opening a direct connection between the area and the mind. The mind becomes more aware of the area and its condition and can reevaluate its approach to supporting the area’s health. Negative thoughts and mental energies that have been inhibiting the area from attaining greater health are also released. View instructions.

Eye Therapy

A Lavender Fire or solid Blue Sapphire necklace is placed over the eyes to soothe eyestrain and to improve vision. View instructions.

Time Guidelines

Lavender Fire 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 Lavender Fire 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 following methods to cleanse your Lavender Fire 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.

Water Rinse: Rinse the gems 2 – 3 times a week. To restore Quartz’s frosted appearance, wash with mild natural soap.

Sunbath: Every 1 - 2 weeks, lay the gems in sunlight for a maximum of 20 minutes at a time.

Clay Cleanse: For deeper cleansing, occasionally perform a bentonite clay bath or pack.

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.

Lavender Fire is formulated to offer certain Blue Sapphire benefits without the need to buy a solid necklace. Its design incorporates numbers to draw the blue ray from the source of all color rays (symbolized by one), through your inner aspects (two and three), to your physical body (four).

Therapeutic Quality Lavender Fire

Lavender Fire necklaces contain therapeutic quality Blue Sapphire, Lavender, and Quartz.

Blue Sapphire

Not all Blue Sapphire is pure enough to emanate the energy required to produce Blue Sapphire'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.

Lavender

The Lavender gemstone is a derivative of colorless Quartz. Yet, unlike Quartz, the finest therapeutic Lavender is not optical in quality. Rather, it contains three elements, all of which are present in the same sphere: lavender color, translucency, and patches of cloudy white or light lavender color. Each therapeutic Lavender sphere exhibits a unique combination of the three essential elements. They work together to fulfill Lavender’s mission and produce its effects.

Lavender Color: The lavender color defines the Lavender gemstone’s mission. The energy of the color lavender has an affinity with the higher levels of our mental, emotional, and even physical bodies. When each of these bodies is stimulated with the energy of lavender, the body awakens to its relationship with the next highest body, inspiring alignment and cooperation among them all.

Translucency: The translucency in the gemstone clears the path for Lavender’s energy to do its work. Without translucency, Lavender’s work slows down drastically. Although non-translucent Lavender can generate the necessary changes, its path through the physical and subtle bodies is greatly hindered.

Cloudy Patches: The patches of cloudy white or light lavender color act as regulatory components by encouraging alignment to unfold in a balanced way. Without these patches, Lavender promotes alignment without attending to the need for change to occur in a balanced, gradual fashion. The cloudy aspect also helps the physical body to regain its balance more swiftly after taking a step toward greater alignment.

Optical-quality Lavender, which is completely translucent and contains no cloudy white or light lavender patches, will bring about alignment at the greatest possible speed. In the hands of an experienced gem therapist who knows how and when to use such a strong force, it is an invaluable tool. However, to prevent the physical body from reacting negatively to such a forced alignment, optical Lavender should be worn only for very short periods.

The finest quality Lavender is free of contaminants. Black flecks, a brown or green tinge, or any foreign matter that muddies the lavender color lowers the quality of Lavender’s energy and diminishes its therapeutic effects. The energy of such Lavender cannot reach into the higher vibratory levels of the wearer’s being. While small splashes or pockets of purple coloring enhance Lavender’s effects, large or numerous dark purple splashes or any coloring that makes the sphere look like Amethyst are contaminants. Such spheres do not support Lavender’s mission. The finest therapeutic quality Lavender is extremely rare.

Quartz

To receive the maximum therapeutic benefits from Quartz, only optical or near-optical quality spheres should be used. Optical-quality Quartz is colorless, clear, and free from flaws to the naked eye. Such flaws include cracks and inclusions, or foreign matter. Near-optical Quartz has very slight flaws in a small portion of the sphere but is otherwise identical to optical quality. If a Quartz sphere has anything more than very slight flaws, its ability to balance your physical, emotional, and mental bodies will be significantly inhibited.

Therapeutic Quartz also has no hint of yellow, gray, brown, or smoky coloration. Color contamination and internal flaws greatly limit the spheres’ inflow and outflow of energy.

People who wear lower-quality Quartz may still feel some effects, since any gemstone will influence an individual's energetic field. However, only the highest quality Quartz necklace—one with deeply frosted, optical or near-optical quality spheres and precisely cut drill holes—will spark the true changes and transformations one seeks from this gemstone. Optical-quality Quartz is extremely rare. Yet it is well worth seeking out, since a necklace made of such Quartz radiates an incomparable energy.
