On the ranch, horseshoes are simply part of life. I love working with them to bring luck into a home. In this piece, I have selected black lava, dyed quartz, and found objects to create a one of a kind piece of hanging art. I love the bronze raven skull on this piece.
 
Lava is associated with the root chakra as, like roots, it comes from deep in the ground. The earthy qualities of lava make it a stone of grounding, focus and balance, materialism and restraint. Its fiery energy is associated with passion, assertiveness and energy. When you are drawn to lava you may be seeking energy and stamina. It is also said to be useful as a stone of detoxification, to dissipate anger and to clear negative energy. Crystal healers use it to help with anxiety, emotional tranquility, relaxation and a sense of calmness. It is said to be a "stress-absorber."
Quartz is a crystal that is said to have many spiritual properties, including cleansing chakras, enhancing intuition, and promoting mindfulness. It is also known as the "master healer" because it is said to channel energy and help with many conditions.
