Seven polished crystal spheres in a single set, about 2 cm each, every one a different stone: amethyst, clear quartz, green aventurine, lapis lazuli, topaz jasper, carnelian and red jasper. Together the seven echo the traditional chakra colours, forming a colourful, harmonious group on a shelf, in a meditation space or in a feng shui arrangement. (Stand not included.)
The chakras and the seven stones
In tradition the chakras are subtle energy points – 'energy wheels' – along the central energy channel of the body; the best known are the seven main chakras. This set pairs one stone with each according to the traditional colour palette: amethyst for the violet of the crown, clear quartz for pure light, green aventurine for the heart, blue lapis lazuli for the throat, yellowish topaz jasper for the solar plexus, orange carnelian for the sacral, and red jasper for the root.
Natural, uncoloured stones
The stones are natural and uncoloured, so colour intensity varies from piece to piece and may differ. Each sphere has a unique pattern; this is a mark of natural origin, not a flaw.
How it is used
Many lay the spheres out or arrange them in a circle for meditation, while others simply enjoy them as a display in a small dish or on a stand. The seven colours together evoke balance and wholeness, making the set a popular gift for crystal lovers.
Care
A soft, barely damp cloth is enough to clean them. The shade of amethyst and some coloured stones can fade in strong, prolonged sunlight, so direct sun is best avoided.
