hala hanap na ng mgandang coral for your new angel

[sarahsensible]

^thanks sis. Girl Kaya nga eh i need a coral and a jade

[aquacharly]

4th! = more blessings.   Congratulations!

Remember: Real coral is of  a very pale color or "blush" as they label a certain  very light color of fabric.
Just get small beads to attach to her ankle.  IMO, that's safer than a bracelet.

^sis thank you so much! Ang coral pala is red?

[gorgeousmama]

OMG, i could not contain myself from buying another crystals, lol,

 when I bought the MOOKAITE,i remember sis aqua mentioning in her previous post that YASH/PHIA has a Good specimen of TIGER"S EYE., multi color(?) /tricolor,,, I didnt fancy this crystals but when I saw one recently sa ACC.LAB, I decided i shall have one,,

when I check it out KE yASH,when I bought the MOOKaite ,, grabee!!! I was smitten, I did not buy it agad coz nahiya ako ke hubby,,

so after sleepless nights and a liitle prodding  and drama effect to my hubby, pumayag din, hehe
 YASH texted me and showed me all her collection of TIGER"S EYE, from small to biggest size , Im torn between the faceted 14mm and the 21mm ( acc to YASH its 21mm daw),

I asked her which is the better specimen between the 2 and she said the 21mm, its not faceted but shiny and ang ganda ng color,, its very attractive,,,so the 21mm won me over!!!,

^do you have a granite? that helps and strengthens my convincing power kay hubby LOL

sa acces lab, ang mahal ng coral bracelet for baby!

[aquacharly]

SNOWFLAKES:  in NYC, the reliable source I came across recently is Ten-Ten, beside/to the left of M & J Trim -- 6th & 38th. 

Nothing fantastic, regular inventory, prices reasonable.    The CHALCEDONY beads are a good buy.  The MOONSTONES in the locked dispay cabinet -- the ones inside are better than the ones displayed in front.

Do NOT hold the black tourmaline carved beads -- something sinster about those -- na drain ako agad & got dizzy.  The LABRADORITE  beads may be useful to you.   GARNETS too. 

Don't bother with the other "crystal" stores katabi - ngek. . Hehe

Hope you get your crytals soon.

advisable ba magsuot ang preggy? if yes, anong klase? tia!

[aquacharly]

^CONGRATULATIONS! you're pregnant. Exciting.     

When preggers, I always wear AMETHYST:  all in 1 for protection, heightened awareness & positivity.
On days I feel run-down:  add CITRINE (but my sister prefers GARNET)
Sometimes, como business people tayo, we need to meet up with "aswangs" or energy-drainers, or go to places with bad vibes, or when we just feel unsure about a place -- add ONYX or BLACK TOURMALINE/Obsidian. 

AVOID wearing JET when preggers --  these are asociated with managing grief, loss... Mga concerns concerning death.

^sis thank you so much! Ang coral pala is red?

Natural coral is like  a dirty white or rare very very pale orange-pink called Angel Skin coral.   There is also the expensive rare black that appear like ferns.

Now, como coral is usually dirty white -- these get colored into shades of orange to red. Ok lang yan.  BUT a lot of sellers sell  reconstituted/pressed beads or whatever shape as coral na hindi naman coral. Do not buy at the Greenhills tiangge! 

The Cebu Chinese go for red as in red-colored  coral.  They believe it heightens awareness, specially to dangers.  But I go for the Angel Skin coral. 

IMO, the best sources are your old relatives or trusted jeweler.  It gets harder nga to find authentic coral -- a lot  of coral reefs have died; it takes 1 year! to grow an inch or  so of coral narrow as your little finger.  Haynako, gifts of coral anklets/bracelets for babies nga are very sought after nowadays. But my diver friends always scold me: stop buying coral! 

[gorgeousmama]

^do you have a granite? that helps and strengthens my convincing power kay hubby LOL

no, i dong have a granite eh. and i dont think i need it to convince my husband, lol 

by the way is mookaite can be recharge under the sunlight?

how about the rose quartz???

[snowflakes]

thanks sis aquacharly. hanapin ko yan pagpunta ko sa city.

[m_lim]

Girls, tinry ko pumunta kay Atong kanina. Wala, hindi ko makita yung store. Yung Waiying kasi dalawa yun. Isa near President's resto, isa sa Benavidez. So saan siya? Post kasi ni aquacharly near presidents, sabi naman ni gorgeousmama, sa benavidez. Ang nakita ko lang sa benavidez kanina isang store na may CRYSTAL sign. Pero hindi si Atong ang owner. Benito daw name niya. Bumili ako ng Amethyst, 600, Crystal Quartz, 500. authentic kaya ito kahit mura lang?

[m_lim]

Parehong nasa Benavidez st pala both branches ng Waiying! Mali pinuntahan ko, dapat yung malapit sa Ongpin branch. Grrrr.. Dibale, balik nalang ako.

[aquacharly]

thanks sis aquacharly. hanapin ko yan pagpunta ko sa city.

SNOWFLAKES, to be more accurate:   GENUINE TEN TEN is the store's name
On 6th Ave between 37th  &  38th Sts.
Basta sa block na yon -- prominent ang signage ng  M & J Trim -- so if you are facing that, G/1010 is the store beside it on the left.   
I went to pick up some bracelets pinastring ko ($7 for stringing pero you cannot wait for it as we do in the Phils... Libre pa nga even  re-do to sawa  -- eto palpak pa gawa eh ka simpleng bracelet .  hay, I miss Manila ).  --  take a look at their corals ok.  But they have only the tiny ones for babies, nothing appropriate for toddlers -- tapos, size 12 na agad. 

 

Girls, tinry ko pumunta kay Atong kanina. Wala, hindi ko makita yung store.

I went once lang kasi, tapos he just sends what we need for approval.  I know it was near a tiny parking lot --  tapos lakad lang maiksi (lols, I dont walk long in Manila) kumain kami sa Presidents resto.  Call him & ask for directions.  PM you his cell.  Or, ask GORGEOUSMAMA -- natuntunan nya agad si Atong.

From recent feedback -- Atong has ben digging in firm with his prices.  IMO, his prices should be at least P1thou cheaper than AccLab.   Before I left for NYC, I passed by ACC Lab.  It appears na Dina has adjusted her prices lower/back for most. But for crystals/stones in demand like corals, moonstone & citrine  --  kung ano yung uso -- she is still priced high.

^thanks sis! alam ko na saan. sa Waiying near Ongpin. punta ako next week.

[sarahsensible]

the directress of my daughter's school is mahilig din sa crystals... I just found out last week and super haba ng kwentuhan namin, share ng ideas sa cleaning, programming etc...
Then just last Saturday, pinakilala nya sa akin yung pinagkukuhaan nya ng crystals si "Kuya Randy" friend nya yung Ms.Sylvia na owner ng Minex and since I haven't been there at yung sa Ongpin hindi ko sila kilala LOL sabi ko lang nalalaman ko lang sa mga friends ko (Thanks Girls )

Anyway pagbukas ni Kuya Randy ng bag nya... may mga crystals sya na dala na pang display...and sis  gorgeousmama remember lagi ko sinasabi sayo ang ganda talaga ni Rose Quartz? pag labas nya nito sa bag nya nag WOW talaga ako. He explains pa kung ano yung base na lalagyan.

Then habang kwentuhan about crystals, bigla kong nabanggit ang Black Tourmaline.. meron syang dala and when I hold it...ang sarap ng feeling ko super gaan 
sis aquacharly I was told hindi pala pwedeng gawing bracelet si Black Tourmaline kasi madaling madurog? Anyway I bought one from him, will show it here next time.

Mga sis, I just realized parang ang mumura ng mga nabibili ko sa acc lab...uhmm parang I've read somewhere na wala yun sa price but compared dun sa mga nababanggit..mura yung nabibili ko.

Btw, si Kuya Randy I asked him kung may shop sya -- wala daw but yung 2nd floor ng house nya puro crystals and welcome kung sino ang gustong tumingin.
