Apricity

 Apricity (English): The warmth of the sun in winter

And this beautiful dusty smoky quartz and its warmth is paired with a sterling silver cap and hoop to balance it all - Sun & Moon.

Smoky quartz is a grounding and protective stone, recognized for its deep, earthy tones and steady, comforting energy. It is believed to absorb negativity, release emotional blockages, and help you stay rooted in the present moment. Often seen as a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms, smoky quartz offers calm, clarity, and resilience, supporting you through times of transformation and inner healing.

From the esoteric adage of “As above, so below,” we understand that certain archetypes manifest in the heavens as celestial bodies and on Earth as metals. The planets and their associated metals share the same energetic makeup, drawing from the same archetypal essence. This is why both alchemists and astrologers used the same pictograms to represent planets and their corresponding metals, with each symbol holding profound esoteric significance. Silver, with its calming Yin energy, is intrinsically linked to the moon— hence its crescent symbol. 

Silver is a spiritual metal and an astral conductor, aiding in establishing contact with the souls of the departed. Perhaps this is why relics of saints are often stored in silver containers? To conclude this ode to silver, silver possesses a unique energy—much like a loyal cat, it is fond of its owner and prefers not to be passed from person to person too frequently. So, wear it with pride and cherish it for the long journey ahead.
