May/June

In May

 the collection was Aquamarine

and Picture Jasper 

and Nephrite. 

Aquamarine is a hexagonal crystal that is 

very helpful with allergies, especially hay fever.

Picture Jasper is a trigonal crystal,

it helps to strengthen the immune system.

Nephrite is similar to Jade, but a much softer stone.

Nephrite has a monoclinic crystal structure; 

it is very calming supportive of the kidneys

March/April

In March and April

  We had so many bracelets!

  It was an unusually large collection 

because their were 3 different stones.

There was Unakite, sometimes called Epidote

 Unakite has a monoclinic crystal structure

which makes it a ideal choice for self love and forgiveness.

 There was some beautiful, delicate Peridot, an orthrhombic stone

which helps if you're trying to clear any repressed anger or resentment.

And last but not least, Kyanite (aka Disthene) a triclinic crystal.

While Kyanite in general helps to develop and maintain dexterity,

green Kanite in particular helps to alleviate hyperacidity in the body which 

can make it a useful crystal for gout or rheumatism.

Blue Kyanite is more appropriate to use for problems 

involving the larynx such as inflammation leading to hoarseness.

 

To see this collection in person, you can visit  

the Louis Pohl Gallery in downtown Honolulu.
