Ruby Matrix teardrop cabochon

This cabochon is an eternally falling blossom, captured within a silken drop of forest light to soothe the weary heart! The way the ruby "blooms" are concentrated near the wider base of the teardrop makes it look like a piece of living art. The teardrop shape is highly symbolic in gemstone therapy, often representing emotional release and focused intention. The teardrop shape is a symbol of "cleansing tears." It is believed to help the wearer release deep-seated grief or sadness, while the Ruby within provides the strength to move forward. Because the teardrop has a distinct point, it is thought to act as a "pointer" for energy. It helps you focus your passion (Ruby) and ground it (Matrix) toward a singular, specific goal or life purpose. The pink-red ruby stimulates the Heart Chakra, while the dark green/black matrix connects to the Earth. This specific stone is said to help you feel a "compassionate connection" to nature and all living things. For those feeling "burned out," the Ruby inclusions act as a spark of vitality. A teardrop cabochon is perfect for a pendant. When worn with the point facing up, it is said to draw energy from the universe into the heart. When worn with the point facing down, it is said to help ground your emotions into the earth for stability.
