May is finally here, and bringing with it warmer weather, blossoming nature and bank holidays ; what’s not to love?  May also signifies Spring, new beginnings and being named after the Greek goddess ‘Maia’, it marks a time of celebration and signals you to channel your inner goddess.

Horoscope energy for each month’s birthstone is unique and for the month of May we focus on Emerald and Green Onyx bringing with them some serenity and healing.  So it’s time for Taurus and Geminis to treat themselves to a little personalised treasure or to gift for those you love with a birthday this month.

EMBRACE THE POSITIVE ENERGY

May is all about grabbing life’s opportunities and embracing everything positive so it makes sense that Green Onyx is one of the special stones for this month.  This is one of our favourite gemstones, not just for the vibrant and ever on trend striking green hue, but because it promotes balance, inner strength and positive energy.

A LITTLE BACKGROUND

Green Onyx is mostly found in India, Peru Madagascar and Mexico, is formed through layering of Chalcedony and Quartz and comes in a palette of strong greens with each stone looking unique.

It’s known as the soothing stone and symbolises relief from worry and tensions as well as helping with wise decisions (we know we could do with a bit of help there). Add that to it’s association with boosted energy levels, and overall vitality.  It’s a firm favourite with us, a winning combo of bold beauty with built in stress relief and inner peace.
