Chrysoprase, the modern birthstone for May,  is a vibrant apple-green variety of chalcedony, often called the "stone of the heart."  It is prized for its gentle, nurturing energy that primarily activates and opens the heart chakra, promoting emotional balance, compassion, and self-love.  It helps release pent-up emotions, old wounds, and negative patterns such as bitterness, anxiety, or fear, replacing them with hope, optimism, forgiveness, and inner peace. Chrysoprase is excellent for mending broken hearts, healing relationships, overcoming heartbreak, and fostering acceptance and joy. It also encourages fidelity, truthfulness, and a youthful zest for life while supporting meditation and spiritual connection.  On a physical level, it is believed to support vitality, detoxification, digestion, and relaxation, while balancing yin-yang energies and channeling universal life force into the body.

Rock crystal, the modern birthstone for April, may be said to be associated with new beginnings. It is the birthstone for April, when signs of spring begin to emerge, and it is the gemstone associated with Monday, the beginning of the work week.  It is, perhaps, a harbinger of all things possible. Rock crystal stone is the perfect stone for imagination and clairvoyance.  It also allows you to reach high states of meditation very quickly.  For energy blockages, rock crystal helps stabilise and harmonise the etheric body as well as the body's vibrational rate.
