As we move towards the end of the year, I wanted to search out a really special crystal to feature for December's Crystal Of The Month. My Chrysocolla palm stone pretty much jumped out at me when I went into my little crystal corner, so I figured that she would be the perfect one to use!
Chrysocolla is a stunning crystal, one that reminds me of the ocean in Maui and the resonance I feel with it. I often get lost just gazing at my palm stone, the colours are so magnificent! Chrysocolla is connected to Goddess energy, very feminine in nature, and is a beautiful crystal for teachers, or those who would like to move into the realm of teaching. I love to use it for those times when I need to be reminded of the wisdom of going with the flow of my own life.
I feel like it is a wonderful crystal to use as we move into the holiday season, to keep ourselves grounded, flowing and peaceful. And as we move into the New Year, it is also a beautiful reminder of trusting our path and honouring the steps we took over the past year; knowing that what we have done was good and very much enough.
