...may break my bones but words will never hurt me.

I can't get enough of this trend. The hippie, spiritual gemstone trend is everywhere. I truly love that the stones are so spiritual and have a greater meaning to them then just being beautiful. You can wear a stone as a consistent reminder to be courageous or to be passionate. They are just simple reminders in our daily lives. What more could you want then to be reminded by some really lovely pieces that you can wear everyday. My favorite stone right now is the Onyx:
Onyx jewelry is worn to defend against negativity that is directed at you. Black stones have protective energies in the sense that black is the absence of light, and therefore, can be used to create invisibility.

Fortifies self confidence and responsibility
Sharpens your senses
Encourages a healthy egotism

Sometimes you need to block out all the negativity in the universe. There will always be nay-sayers and haters but you can't let them get to you. And sometimes you just need that simple little reminder to block it all out and to keep on going!

Do you guys have any favorite stones?
