Crystals, bruises, and cosmic energy? 💫
In Part 2 of Unearthed Crystals, we get personal—petrified wood, mysterious heirlooms, energetic bruises, Moldavite madness, why high vibe crystals support ADHD and the magic behind the Advent Crystal Calendar.
****************************************************
In this follow-up episode, we dive deeper into our personal connections with crystals. Helen opens up about her love for petrified wood and uncovers the story behind her great grandmother’s necklace—with Peta guiding her through theprocess of claiming its energy as her own.
Lori shares a truly unusual experience involving Shungite—a crystal that left a physical bruise, which deepened and grew in size, before healing with the help of shadow work and a personal desire to keep pushing through the unknown.
Peta also recounts her unlikely encounters with the infamous Moldavite, revealing that its reputation for upheaval is well-earned—but only for those unprepared for its transformative power. She then explores the energetic world of meteorites and tektites, and how high-vibration crystals can offer grounding and clarity, especially for those with ADHD.
Finally, we discuss the much-anticipated AdventCrystal Calendar—a labor of love and intention, crafted once a year as a limited-edition offering that brings joy and magic to crystal lovers everywhere.
