At Moonrise Crystals we believe that there’s a crystal for every person and every situation. This was gifted to a very special person. They were nominated by someone who loves them very much.
Two out of the three winners for the March “Feel Love” Crystal Giveaway had something very special in common. These women nominated their adult daughters as their “best friend.” In both cases, the mother and daughter were like the sun and moon, two special lights shining in the sky.
Sometimes a daughter needs the gentle support and wise guidance of her mom. Because sometimes life does NOT go according to plan, and a girl can find herself in a heap of trouble, stuck cleaning up a great big mess. But no matter how bad things get, her Mom will always be there for her. Like the sun, ever constant and ready to shed Light into the darkness. In honor of this beautiful bond of love, Moonrise Crystals is sending a Sunstone to Kate, as a reminder that she is beautiful, powerful and worthy of good things. (And that her mom loves her very, very much!)
Sometimes a mom needs her daughter to reverse roles and be the caretaker for a while. Because sometimes accidents happen and the doctor’s orders simply say, “stay in bed.” When that happens, a daughter proves to be an angel, someone who instinctively knows how to do things right. It’s a feminine cycle of care, as ancient and eternal as the moon. In honor of this beautiful bond, a Moonstone has been picked out for Brandy to thank her for being a little Goddess of Mercy. (And to remind her that her mom loves her all the way to the moon and back again!)
