Black Coral Black corals originated from a single species that lived between the shallows & the deep sea around 600 million years ago, & is said to last up to 25 million years. There are many myths that connect deities with the transformational powers of Black Coral: Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea, bestows protection & strength. Hades, ruler of the underworld, offers guidance through life’s darkest hours. Yemaya, the Yoruba goddess of the ocean, generates healing & emotional balance. Kali, the Hindu goddess of destruction & rebirth, facilitates transformation. Sedna, the Inuit sea goddess, delivers nourishment & provisions. Black Coral harmonizes with the 1st Chakra, or Root Chakra, which is believed to assist in grounding to Earth’s energy. Supposedly it also connects with the 2nd Chakra, or Sacral Chakra, enhancing creativity & emotional balance. Black Coral is also linked to the the 4th Chakra, or Heart Chakra, which promotes love & compassion, & the 3rd Chakra, or Solar Plexus Chakra, which affects confidence & willpower. Black Coral is also associated with the 7th Chakra, or Crown Chakra, promoting spiritual growth & enlightenment. In the Ancient Chinese art of Feng Shui, the placement of Black Coral in the northern area of a space can create positive energy for dreams & goals, inviting the energy of wisdom & self-discovery. Pluto is thought to rule Black Coral, nurturing empowerment to discard old patterns & embracing authenticity of self. Black Coral is linked to the zodiac sign of Scorpio.

Mother of Pearl  A stress-relieving stone, Mother of Pearl has been used for centuries to signify heightened intuition, wisdom, imagination, sensitivity, & adaptability.
