Malachite is an incredibly protective and grounding stone. It absorbs negative energies both from the atmosphere and the physical body. Pyrite is also a powerful protector. It draws energy from the Earth through the physical body and into the aura, creating a defensive shield against anything that is not of a high, positive nature. Aventurine is a comforting gemstone that heals the heart, imparts a state of harmony to the wearer and calls in emotional well being and calm.

"Gold filled" means there is a solid layer of gold (12k, 14k, 18k or 24k) permanently bonded to a base metal, such as brass. The minimum layer of gold must equal at least 1/20th of the total weight of the piece in order for it to be designated 'gold filled.'  Under normal circumstances of wear (see guidelines below), the gold will not peel or flake, unlike gold plating.  Gold-filled is a beautiful and more economical alternative to solid gold, which is not affordable for everybody. Gold-filled jewelry has 100x more gold than gold-plated, and because that layer is so much thicker, it means gold-filled jewelry lasts longer and stands up to wear and tear better.
