Wild violets blanket my yard here in the mountains. My favorite way to use them is in a syrup, whose vibrant color changes with the addition of a bit of citrus.
 
Violet boasts numerous practical uses. Its flowers are used in herbal remedies for their calming properties and are infused into teas and syrups. Violet leaves are edible and can be added to salads or used as a garnish.
 
Violet is associated with calming, intuition, and inner peace. It's believed to enhance meditation, psychic abilities, and emotional balance.
 
Rose quartz, the stone of love and compassion promotes forgiveness and empathy. Rose quartz is believed to attract love and harmonious relationships, while also soothing emotional wounds and reducing stress and tension.
 
The combination of violet and rose quartz creates a powerful synergy of spiritual growth and emotional healing. Violet's connection to intuition and higher consciousness amplifies rose quartz's loving energy, fostering deep self-love and compassion. Together, they encourage inner harmony, emotional balance, and a sense of divine connection and guidance.
 
I love this combination for Beltane season-- what better time to fall in love with ourselves.
 
A sacred object, from my hands to yours.

My pottery now features overglaze accents in REAL Gold, with copper.
 
Designed to be held by human hands. Ease and comfort with an ornate thumb rest helps from every angle. The ‘pinkie coil’ keeps the handle from sliding. The mugs fit all   The crystal allows the mug to be comfortably carried down at your side.
 
I source the crystals as close to the source as possible, and from the US whenever available. 
In many cases, from the rock hounds themselves.
 
Testimonial:
“It’s the MOST perfect handle!  Big enough for all four fingers, with options for your thumb- either the thumb-rest, or the crystal on top.  And a pinkie coil!  It’s actually genius, and I SWEAR I was thinking about this like yesterday… I just don’t enjoy my other mugs as much anymore. The way all my fingers have a place is magic!  And I can use the thumbrest to “steer” my mug if I want to run around with it in my hand all day, and not spill my tea.  It’s become an object of comfort for me, and I feel less awkward when I have it with me.” - Danielle, @rabbitspath
