Calling All Crystal Lovers!
The start of a new year calls for great reflection on events from the past 365 days and brings forth the topic of new beginnings – what do you want to change in the new year? How can you achieve your new goals? As these questions form, we urge you to investigate the way you can introduce crystals into your life to help embrace 2025 and all it has to offer!
January is the perfect month to create a new goal (start reading new books from the MMSCL in 2025, perhaps?) or strive to form better relationships with family and friends, finish that puzzle you’ve been working on, or even attend your first program at the library.
Rhodonite, a pinkish-red crystal typically mined in Russia, Peru, and even parts of the United States including New Jersey and California, is the perfect crystal for emotional self-healing and clarity. According to Kathy Banegas, author of the book Practical Crystals, which can be found in the Adult Department at the Moriches Branch of the MMSCL, Rhodonite is best described as “a tight hug from the universe” (117); Rhodonite reminds you to be proud of who you are and to love who you are learning to become no matter the age. It also is a crystal used for clarity and reflection – making it a perfect match for anyone looking to start fresh or make changes in the new year.
Whether you have a piece of Rhodonite or not, it is important to remind yourself that you can achieve everything you set your mind to!
