At Moonrise Crystals we believe that there’s a crystal for every person and every situation. This Dragonstone was gifted to a very special person. They were nominated by someone who loves them very much.
She put everyone else first. She works with women and children that have been sexually and physically abused. She hates to see suffering. She spends her time with strangers, acknowledging their pain and helping them heal. She swallowed her own hurt and ignored her own aching heart. She put her husband and child first. She’s been told that that’s what a good wife, a good mother, a good woman does. She rationalized it. Her husband only hurts her verbal and emotionally. How can she complain about mental abuse knowing how much worse it’s been for others? And so the years passed. She gave him second chances, third chances, fourth chances, a hundred chances. She’s forgiven a thousand times. She’s hoped and she’s given up hope and she’s hoped again. Intellectually she knew that she deserved better, but she loved him and so she stayed and kept putting him first.
Not anymore. This is it. This is the moment that everything else was leading up to. She’s about to do the bravest thing she’s ever done. She’s about to love herself more deeply than she’s ever done before. She’s leaving him.
Her longtime friend has been waiting for this day for years. She knows how huge this decision is and how scary. She wants to give her every bit of magic and support the world can offer. She wants her to break free, heal, and be happy.

Dragonstone is a rare healing stone found only in Limpopo, South Africa. It combines two closely related sorosilicate minerals, bright green Epidote and vivid red Piemontite. It was first discovered near Tshipise Hotsprings, which bubbles up near a dragon-shaped hill. This location coupled with the stone’s dramatic coloring immediately led to the nickname of Dragonstone. Several other rocks have this same nickname, including a stone from Australia that even has the same vivid coloring, but has a different mineral composition. Dragonstone from South Africa encourages us to be our true self and to step into our personal power. […]
