"Awake. Shake dreams from your hair my pretty child, my sweet one. Choose the day, choose the sign of your day, the day's divinity. First thing you see." -Jim Morrison, The Ghost Song
Before I began this journey to start a shop I just wanted a place to go where I could get all of my materials and know exactly what I was getting for my money and that I wasn’t being taken advantage of. I didn’t have much appreciation for shops that would preach to me about the mystical properties of rocks but then tip-toed around or shied away completely from telling me if it came out of the ground or a mine or a workshop. I was/am/always will be more interested in fact than fiction. And so I set out to manifest a place where I could find all of these traits and thus was born The Days Divinity. In my descriptions I try to tell more about the factual science and history of the minerals and less about its theoretical correspondences. I truly believe that the symbolism behind material things is personal, just as is an individual’s right to interpretation and perspective.
I am especially partial to colorful, high quality specimens, and am constantly, meticulously debating and deliberating my decisions (Libra). I am extremely particular in my selections and will always spend more on items when I know exactly what I am purchasing, rather than saving money by taking my chances on a bulk lot. I figure most people value this mentality and that’s why I support exact-item sales only. Among my mineral favorites are skeletal smoky quartz and amethyst super sevens which look like dark, ominous castles and towers, lodolite garden quartz with impossible botanic landscapes, the flash and sparkle of Australian lightning ridge opals, creamy Peruvian blue and pink opals, clear dream-colored spodumene kunzite crystals from Afghanistan, violet-tipped amethyst points from Vera Cruz Mexico, the water-and-sunlight patterns of Caribbean-colored Dominican Larimar, obnoxiously bright candy-colored Pakistan tourmalines, sky-blue-pink aquamarine and morganite crystals, and the delicious translucent cherry-red gem rhodochrosites from Colorado and Peru.
Faaaaaantastic :)
