Brigid

The Brigid necklace embodies the energies of the feminine archetypes of fertility, healing, divine inspiration, and divine love. This combination of rounded Pink Tourmaline, Mother of Pearl, Pink Coral, and Red Spinel crystals provides the protective energy and healing needed for optimal female health. It is an overall restorative for the female body and for adult women of all ages.

Brigid provides excellent energetic support for the subtle and physical bodies of women who are trying to become pregnant. After childbirth, its restorative effects on the pelvic organs and pelvic floor can be nurturing to the physical body. Brigid’s combination of energetic shielding and physical support may also be helpful after a woman has undergone surgery to the pelvic area.

As women age, hormonal imbalances, combined with gravity, childbirth, or trauma to the female organs, can make women more susceptible to a range of gynecological and urinary problems. Brigid’s energies may be beneficial in counteracting the damage inflicted by injury and aging to the female organs and bladder. It lends support to women who need healing in these areas.

Help Restoring the Female Body

While Brigid is energetically protective for both men and women, it works more quickly and profoundly on the physical aspect of the female form, particularly the female pelvic organs.

Gemstone Synergies in Brigid

Brigid brings together Pink Tourmaline, Mother of Pearl, Pink Coral, Red Spinel, and Blue-Green Fluorite. The Mother of Pearl and Pink Coral combine to create a synergy that offers a profound soothing protection. The combination of Pink Tourmaline, Pink Coral, and Red Spinel restores the energetic matrix that supports the body’s core, muscles, and female organs. Red Spinel has a resonance with the root chakra and the body’s muscles and blood. The pairing of Blue-Green Fluorite and Pink Tourmaline focuses the Pink Tourmaline’s effects on the tissues, hormones, and fluids of the body.

The Pink Coral in Brigid comes from the last of Gemisphere’s Coral reserves.

Two Brigid Potencies

Brigid is available in two potencies: one with a single Pink Tourmaline nugget, and the other with three Pink Tourmaline rounded chips. A nugget is a highly polished and lightly rounded gemstone. Each nugget in our Brigid necklaces is an extremely rare, 4- to 6-carat, Quality 5 Pink Tourmaline gem. The therapeutic potency of Brigid necklaces containing nuggets is higher than that of the necklaces with chips.

The Divine Feminine Collection

Brigid is part of Gemisphere’s Divine Feminine Collection, which also includes the Heart’s Wisdom necklace. These Pink Tourmaline combination necklaces embody the energies of feminine archetypes. Their designs are based on the knowledge and promptings of the inner-world Guardian of Pink Tourmaline.

The best way to experience the therapeutic effects of a Brigid necklace is to wear it around your neck. There the gems will silently work for you as you go about your day. While you are resting or sleeping, when the physical and mental bodies are meant to be rejuvenated, you can place Brigid by your bedside for its energetically protective properties.

Time Guidelines

Brigid can be worn continuously. However, it is always wise to be sensitive to your body’s responses. If you start to feel a headache or significant discomfort, take the necklace off for a while. Then allow your body time to adjust to the changes initiated by the gems by wearing them for only an hour or two a day. Gradually increase this time until you can comfortably wear the gems for as long and often as you wish.

Cleanse Brigid Regularly

To maintain their effectiveness, therapeutic gemstones need regular care. As the gems help us release energetic impurities, some of these energies cling to the gems’ surface and inhibit their ability to work at their peak capacity. A simple energetic cleansing will clear these energies and restore the gems to their naturally vibrant state. You can use any of following methods to cleanse your Brigid necklace. Learn more about these methods.

Salt Bed: Lay in a half-inch of sea salt overnight. Place a thin natural-fiber cloth between the salt and the gems.

Plant Rejuvenation: 2 – 3 times a week, wrap the necklace around the base of a healthy houseplant or lay the necklace in its branches.

Sunbath: Every 1 - 2 weeks, lay the gems in sunlight for a maximum of 5 minutes at a time.

Special Notes: Avoid clay cleansing or rinsing, which will dull Mother of Pearl’s polish.

Store the necklace separately to protect Mother of Pearl, which is a particularly soft and fragile gem.

When Your Necklace First Arrives

When you put on a new necklace or one you haven’t worn for a while, bring it into your aura with consciousness and a clear intent. We call this “practicing presence.” By opening yourself to the gems’ energies and consciously cooperating with the process of change, you can greatly enhance the gemstones’ benefits.

Therapeutic Quality Brigid

Brigid necklaces contain Pink Tourmaline, Mother of Pearl, Pink Coral, Red Spinel, and Blue-Green Fluorite. All the gemstones in Brigid necklaces are completely free from dyes and artificial treatment of any kind.

Pink Tourmaline

Pink Tourmaline occurs in a variety of colors, ranging from light pink to dark pink to deep purple-pink. Pink Tourmaline with a brown cast is less therapeutic than its pinker cousins. The strongest and highest quality Pink Tourmaline, known as Rubellite, appears bright and clear and contains few inclusions or flaws. Its color is a deep, purplish pink. The closer Pink Tourmaline is to this color, the more therapeutically effective it will be.

Gemisphere’s therapeutic Pink Tourmaline has been cut from high-quality crystals usually reserved for making faceted gems. Consequently, we offer the highest quality therapeutic Pink Tourmaline necklaces available anywhere.

Mother of Pearl

Mother of Pearl’s shimmering, reflective quality helps its energy quickly enter the aura. The more opalescence Mother of Pearl possesses, the more deeply it can work—be it physically, emotionally, or mentally—and the more clearly you will receive its benefits.

Red Spinel

The color of therapeutic-quality Red Spinel is a deep, bright red that is close to the red of the rainbow. The more true-red the gems are, the stronger their energetic effects will be. Spinel gems that are more distinctly pink than red are not considered therapeutic Red Spinel and have different energetic properties.

A small number of inclusions in Red Spinel do not interfere with its energetic work. The Spinel energy bypasses the other mineral.

Any kind of artificial treatments will render Red Spinel non-therapeutic. While most high-quality Spinel is untreated, some heat-treated Red Spinel has appeared on the market and should be avoided for therapeutic use. Gemisphere’s Red Spinel is completely natural and free of all treatments.

The finest dark Red Spinel can look like fine-quality Ruby. To distinguish our Red Spinel and Ruby necklaces, we have included a small gold bead on either side of the clasp in our Red Spinel necklaces.
