CARNELIAN
The stone of vitality. There are two types of carnelian and it's one of my absolute favorites! I use it as a focal stone and as an accent.
Orange Carnelian (the middle stone to left) is a very feminine stone and can provide emotional support for things unique to women. One of the best features of carnelian is that it can increase appreciation of the body. For someone with body dysmorphia, bulimia or anorexia, this stone can support a better self image. And on top of all of that, it is a very sensual stone. It can promote more sacred sexual experiences and elevate moods.
Poppy Carnelian (the top stone on the left) is slightly more peach or pink than orange carnelian and it is all about family, particularly the mother-child relationship. It can ease fears related to parenting so is a great stone for new parents.

BRONZITE
The stone of decision. Like Angelite, Bronzite is a new stone for me. I recently came across it and it is gorgeous! it really does look like an artifact from the Bronze Age. And not surprisingly, it's a very grounding and masculine stone. If you have trouble making decisions or choosing between options, this stone can help. It can clear confusion by making the unimportant options very clear. The best thing about Bronzite, is that it can bring with it the courage to not only see the clear choice, but to make it and follow through.

BLOODSTONE
The stone of courage. Bloodstone comes in a few varieties and can be located all over the world including Australia, Brazil, the Czech Republic, China, Germany, India, Russia, Scotland and the United States. Typically, bloodstones are a deep green with veining or spotting in deep "blood" reds. I use bloodstone from many places, but one of my favorites is Australian (pictured to the left). It is typically a rich blue-green, sometimes can be milky and paler, and is more translucent than opaque. The deep red flakes or spots add depth to this stone.
Bloodstone is an excellent grounding stone and can bring you more in touch with your body and physical senses. If you are looking for your life's work or know what that may be but lack the courage to go forward, bloodstone is an excellent choice.

AVENTURINE
The stone of luck and prosperity. There are several types of aventurine including blue, green, red and peach. I typically use green and red. (Green is pictured to the left).
Green Aventurine is a stone that can soften and open the heart. It is ideal for those with trust issues or who have been hurt and find it hard to take emotional risks. Aventurine is particularly useful for those who've been betrayed in love. As the name might suggest, it is a useful stone when you're looking for adventure, both in love and in travel.
Red Aventurine is another beautiful stone and shares some of the properties of the green version. In addition to those, it encourages joy and gratitude and promotes a zest for life. This is a great stone for 'living in the moment', or living life to the fullest.

AURA CRYSTALS
There are a number of aura crystals available. Although the color of these crystals isn't natural, the process is much different than dyeing. Dyeing may reduce the energy of a stone or even negate it, but auras are made by bonding precious metals to a clear quartz crystal. This process is transformative in a positive way and actually enhances the properties of the stone and metal. It's more like a marriage of the properties rather than a depletion of the stone.
Aqua Aura crystals are a light iridescent blue and are quite striking. They're bonded with gold. Aqua auras are powerful and help to express emotions and embrace inner truth. If you've been fearful of speaking up or out for yourself or for others or on issues which are important to you, these crystals can help. They are also ideal for empaths as they enhance this ability. Empaths shouldn't wear these crystals unless they've worked on setting effective boundaries.
Rainbow Aura crystals - Deep bluish purple with rainbow iridescence. Rainbow auras are irradiated and bonded with Titanium. They can clear old karma and the effects of karma on the emotions.

AQUAMARINE
The stone of depth. Aquamarine is particularly healing. Its effects can be profound as it can bring balance throughout the body. The aquamarine, not surprisingly when you see it, embodies the energy of the ocean. This is a great stone for inner-mermaids! In the metaphysical realm, it promotes a stronger connection with spirit guides and angels. And finally, aquamarine has the power to heal a troubled soul.

APATITE
The stone of detoxification. There are two types of apatite and it is a beautiful stone. In fact, I like it even more than the coveted Aquamarine. It can be a deep blue with great depth or light and translucent. Apatite is great for physical and emotional detoxes. For empaths, this stone might be a must. It can help you to distinguish between what is truly your emotion and what belongs to others, which can be difficult for empaths. If you find yourself feeling undeserving of happiness please find some apatite - it will help you let go of your pain and accept a more joyful life.

ANGELITE
The stone of the Angels. Angelite is a beautiful soft light blue stone. It is also called anhydrite. Angelite is a very calming stone that can enhance creativity. It is also ideal for protection as it draws on energy from angels and spirit guides. This is a wonderful stone for forgiveness, especially if you have trouble forgiving yourself. And finally, Angelite can enhance communication with animals! This is a new stone to my work, but I'm excited about creating some pieces with it.

AMETHYST
The stone of serenity. Amethyst is a very special stone. There are a number of different types of amethysts. I typically use Brazilian or Mexican amethyst, but I also love chevron amethyst, which is sometimes called dog's tooth amethyst. Amethyst is very closely tied to the soul and spiritual awareness. It can increase intuition. Amethyst can have a positive effect on self-worth, ease sleeplessness and ease stress. On top of all that, it is simply a beautiful stone!

AMAZONITE
The stone of self discovery. Amazonite (pale aqua color) can soothe and balance the throat chakra which is the seat of communication. It can help you to 'speak your truth' with kindness or connect with your 'inner-truth'. This is a great stone for artists. Amazonite can assist in connection with emotions and divine water guides.
Russian Amazonite is a deeper aqua & may have some white inclusions. It is a stone that can help you to release grief. This stone is said to prompt the release of emotions and start healing. Amazonite can also help creative people to follow through with commitments and complete projects.

RUBY
The stone of energy. Rubies are truly beautiful in their less polished state as pictured to the left. They can vary in color and are an energizing stone. Rubies intensify the life force and energize the blood. Which means if you're suffering from fatigue or weakness or even low-iron, they may help.

SHIVA LINGAM STONE
The stone of union. This is another new stone for me. It's really intriguing and when you see it, you'll see why. This stone can promote grounding and the union of yin and yang, masculine and feminine, body and soul. This stone is all about duality. It can help in sexual healing for both men and women and if you are a couple, it can help to strengthen the sexual bond.

SUNSTONE
The stone of hope. Sunstone is fairly hard to find, but it is really beautiful. Looking close at sunstone reveals an interior of natural glitter much like you'd see floating in a snow globe. Sunstone can clear blockages, particularly those keeping you from reaching your life's purpose. It also promotes courage and more importantly hope. And finally, through amplifying hope, sunstone can heal fear.

TOURMALINE
The stone of transmutation. Tourmaline is amazing with a capital AMAZING! I love this stone. It offers a wide variety of colors and properties: Black, Blue, Colorless, Green, Pink, Violet, Watermelon.
Black tourmaline can protect the aura and connect you to the earth. If you have a lot of negativity in your life, carry or wear a piece of black tourmaline for sure! Some say it can even guard against spirit possessions. Tourmaline is good at dispelling fear and panic and may help with panic attacks.
Green tourmaline is really beautiful and ranges in color from a lime to an aqua. It can purge and release negative emotions and help with present-life traumas such as abuse or shock. Green tourmaline can also be called Verdelite. It is the most common of tourmalines.
Pink tourmaline is gorgeous and a little more rare. It heals the emotions and can renew purpose. This stone is great for balancing energy flow or Ch'i within the body and can raise consciousness. Pink tourmaline can transmute negativity into universal love!

TREE AGATE
The forest stone. This is a really lovely stone. milky to clear with what appears to be real moss suspended in time. The moss is actually nickel or copper deposits in the rock itself, but the effect is stunning. Not surprisingly, the stone can enhance telepathic communication and clairsentience with nature, both plants and animals. If you feel yourself drawn to trees, the forest or mountains... even gardening or just being outside, this might be a strong stone for you. It can enhance your gardening intuition and increase your connection with nature overall. If you know an eco-activist and need a gift, this is what you need! It can sometimes be referred to as a moss agate, but is slightly different.

TURQUOISE
The stone of connection. If I could recommend any stone to adult children of alcoholics/addicts or abuse and neglect survivors, it would be turquoise. Real turquoise is difficult to find and it comes at a premium. Blue and green turquoise are amazing healing stones. Some of the qualities include:
Native Americans often call blue Turquoise the "sky stone" because it connects the upper and the lower and you will often see both paired with the phrase, "as Above so Below".
Beware of inexpensive stones labeled as turquoise! Generally, they are dyed howlite or Chinese or African turquoise. Chinese and African turquoise are not true turquoise, although they are beautiful stones and I do use them, but they are properly labeled. Dyed howlite and magnesite are also often substituted in cheaper jewelry, but it's actually illegal to refer to them as genuine Turquoise. So remember, if you located turquoise jewelry and it's pretty inexpensive, it's probably not genuine.

AGATE
The stone of protection and strength. Agate is said to enhance intelligence as well. It ia good for overall health. There are many types of agate, each with unique properties. To me, agates are much more precious than diamonds because each one is completely unique and completely grounded.

COPPER
Copper is an amazing metal. It works in the body energetically much like it works in electricity. It grounds spiritual energy. If you're empathic, copper is great for shielding you from other's psychic energy. It can also cleanse the emotional body of old negative emotions and offer emotional protection and support in crowds--great for the introvert or empath.

Welcome to Lori Blaylock jewelry. I use copper, silver, genuine gemstones, leather, horn and bone to create alchemy and intention-based jewelry. I believe stones and other materials have powerful energy. Each stone has different properties due to it's formation or coloration or composition. The stones I use most are listed below. Remember that a stone's energetic property can be altered, enhanced or enhance other stones depending on what its combined with. Check back soon, more descriptions will be added as I can! [I am not a medical doctor or psychologist and the statements below are no substitute for medical or psychological treatment and advice. Please see a doctor.]
I believe stones have power, but like any divine object, they need interaction in order to help. My recommendation for working with stones is to simply hold them, set your intention for healing, help or collaboration and then express your problem, issue or project. Do this more than once to build the connection with the stone. I believe this bonds your energy with the energy of the earth itself.
