Peach Moonstone Pendant

Description:  Peach or apricot moonstone is from Sri Lanka and can be an elusive stone to find.  It is a delicate shade of pastel orange with satiny flashes just below the surface.  This frosted shimmer makes the stone appear to glow and it was said to contain the moonlight for which it was named.  I was delighted to find a small amount of these stones at the Tucson gem show and am cutting them very carefully.  We have added an AA rated faceted mandarin carnelian on top to finish this exquisite second chakra jewel.

Sacral Chakra Information for Peach Moonstone and Mandarin Carnelian Pendant

The second chakra, or sacral chakra is located in the hips.  The second level of awareness in our emotional anatomy is pleasure.   For example, now we seek more than just shelter.  Instead, we want a home that offers our own creative style and all the "creature comforts".  We desire the pleasure of a hot bubble bath verses rinsing off in a cold river.  We experience sexual and sensual pleasures for their own sake instead of just for reproductive functions.  The parts of our personalities that are impulsive, excitable, sensual and creative are held within the sacral chakra.

The most common form of imbalance in the sacral or second chakra can be seen as over indulgence.  It is the faulty belief that more is better, be it more material possessions, more sex, more excitement, more money, etc.  Balance in the second chakra is the realization that pleasure is not something we have to chase or buy.  It exists in the simplest of things, as much as the most costly or difficult to attain.
