Working with this crystal can help you to better understand the reasons and motives behind these actions.

This gentle stone helps to clear the heart of anger, resentment, guilt, fear, and jealousy, all while encouraging emotional & mental harmony. You can expect an increase in receptivity and guidance in your ability to forgive and accept yourself and others. Check out our collection of healing rose quartz treasures here

The flecks of white in the Snowflake Obsidian soften and balance its energy. This black & white beauty promotes an equal medium for the body, mind & spirit.

When it comes to shadow work, it's important to ground yourself during the process. Smoky Quartz's grounding energy is great for offering protection by dissipating negative energy and guiding you to move forward in life.

While detoxifying on all levels, expect nightmares to disappear and happy dreams to manifest. The smoky energy brings in an overall calmness and promotes positive thoughts & actions. This is crucial for the stages of working with your shadow as things will resurface and it's important that when working through them you stay rooted in the light.
