Sing me the blues ..

Deep within the very fibers of our being, our senses have a life of their own. From the different religions of our world, to myths, legends and magic, the color blue sends us powerful messages: 

Blue symbolizes the life-giving air we breathe.  

Blue are our oceans, our seas and waterfalls.  

Blue is truth, heaven and rebirth.  

Blue is the miracle of clear, light skies. Blue is calmness, tranquility and hope; the dawning of a new day, a fresh start, a new chance for life.

We have adorned ourselves with, and collected, many lovely blue stones for all of these reasons and more. Stones such as rare blue tourmaline, an exquisite beauty, so rich and pure in color that it is said to emanate a great degree of harmony. Blue tourmalines are much coveted and very rare that stones of fine quality will almost always be individual pieces.

While a cube of Iolite, more purple than blue, has the magical quality of appearing clear as water from one side, violet blue as an ocean from another, and luscious as honey from the top, (unfortunately, this magical property has a scientific name “extreme pleochoism”, which rather spoils the fun).

Lapis Lazuli, discovered by ancient civilizations, worshipped as a holy stone, crafted into many elegant piece of jewelry fit for royalty, and bursting with more history than most books could hold, is considered a stone of truth and friendship.

There are blue aventurines, with their varying shades and patterns of pale blue, reminiscent of demin, sodalites, a deep navy, almost indigo, shade of blue with streaks of white/grey, apatites with their distinctive rich deep color, blue sapphires and, of course, turquoise.

Perhaps the closest to my heart is turquoise; because unlike the other blue stones born in the earth’s womb, turquoise relies on weathering and the ingredients of the earth’s crust for its formation. It is purely the creation of mother nature’s whims!
