#Crystals101 – April Crystal Birthstone

CVD Diamond

If you’re an April baby, you probably already know the modern birthstone  for your birth month is the glamorous, and very popular, Diamond.  Wow, aren’t you lucky.  Or not, as Diamonds can be very pricy.   🤣😂

Diamonds are thought to bring love and clarity to relationships and as a sign of commitment and trust in a relationship.  Which is probably why engagement and wedding rings usually have Diamonds in them.

However, if you’re like me and Diamonds have never been your ‘best friend,’ you have several different alternatives.

Clear Quartz is one of the strongest crystals on the planet.  As you can see, it looks very similar to Diamonds, and the higher the quality, the more they look alike.

Look t this baby. 😍😍  Not only is it good quality, it has amazing rainbows in it.  Clear Quartz, also known as King of Quartz,  helps with mental clarity and helps cleanse and charge your other crystals.  It is a potent master healer and is used to open the mind and heart to higher guidance.

If neither of those gems tickle your fancy, there’s the Carnelian Agate.  My personal favorite. When I hold Carmelian, it makes me think of butterscotch.

In ancient times, this stone was associated with courage, vitality, and motivation. Known as the “Stone of Motivation,” Carnelian is believed to inspire action and help individuals overcome procrastination and hesitation.  Who doesn’t need a little help with the procrastination part? 😁😁

Are you always tired or have low stamina?  Carnelian is believed to  help with that since it enhances vitality and energy levels.  It’s also thought to improve circulation and to stimulate the metabolism.  We can all use that kind of help, too.

Carnelian is seen as a symbol of personal power, which will attract success and abundance.  Again, something we can all benefit from.

So, here’s to you, and Happy Birthday.
