White, blue, red, pink, purple, grey… The type of microcrystalline quartz known as “agate” can come in many colors. When found in the color black, agate can depict a sense of elegance, mystery, authority, or even rebellion. For me, black dominates my wardrobe. It is a necessity in my life. I love how versatile this color is. With black, you can be seen as grungy or sophisticated. It just depends on how your outfit comes across to others. In regards to black agate itself, it is used to promote healthy physical structure as one progresses in years. It is a grounding crystal which benefits calmness and peace in the midst of strife. Black agate assists in keeping a steady mind despite being surrounded by chaos.

Representing friendship, the turquoise stone is packed with positive symbolism. Many believe that when a dear friend gives a gift of turquoise to a kindred spirit, the turquoise will grant good fortune and combat negative energy. Literally meaning “Turkish stone”, this captivating mineral originally came to England from Turkey. In the Middle East, Assyrians may use a small turquoise bead on a necklace in order to protect themselves from the evil eye. Turquoise gemstones help reduce the presence of grudges and encourages the ability to trust. Buy yourself a pair of turquoise plugs or gift them to a friend to make a small but positive impact on yourself or your friendship. 

 

8. Tiger’s Eye

No two tiger’s eye stones will look the same. A natural, chatoyant (in gemology, this means it gives off a cat’s eye effect) gemstone, tiger’s eye is mostly mined in South Africa and Western Australia. Although, it can be found in many other countries such as India, Namibia, Brazil, and even the United States as well as Canada. The spiritual side of tiger’s eye stones sees this gemstone enhancing good luck, confidence, and clarity. It is particularly protective during travel. This is genuinely one of my favorite stones. Though I am rather keen on black-hued minerals, I can’t help being drawn to the ornate amber swirls evident within the tiger’s eye stone. If I had gauges, these would be one of the first plugs I would purchase. 

9. Sodalite

For gemstone enthusiasts, sodalite is perhaps famous for its deep blue coloring. It is also prone to having white speckles or streaks. It varies in color from light blue and dark blue to greyish-blue and violet. Occasionally dubbed as the “poor man’s lapis” due to the fact that, though sodalite and lapis look similar in color, sodalite a lot less expensive than the latter. Regardless of its unofficial moniker, sodalite is absolutely gorgeous. When I look at this gemstone, I am immediately reminded of Blue Willow plates. Sodalite is a great stone to have around when you are working on a project in a group. Its other name, “poet’s stone”, refers to the fact that this stone increases wisdom, logic, and makes communication with others occur sans complications. If you’re about to be doing a lot of studying, this will be the perfect stone to have nearby. 

 

10. Amethyst

Patience, intuition, happiness, inner strength. These are just a few things that amethyst has been known to promote and enhance. Originally worn and used by the ancient Greeks in order to avoid intoxication, amethyst is commonly used to avoid becoming addicted to various substances. It is also used to fight addiction in spiritual healing. Medieval European soldiers once wore this gemstone into battle, believing it to heal people as well as keep them cool-headed. Amethyst is a gorgeous variety of quartz. Claim a violet-coloured pair of stone plugs for yourself and you may see your mood visibly improved (even if it’s just from admiring the craftsmanship so much).
