+Opalite his is a form of opalized stone that forms in mineralized nodules. It is composed predominantly of dolomite, opalized fluorite but often found with minerals such as quartz and chalcedony. Opals are one of the two birthstones representing the month of October. Opals have been described in medieval times as a cure for diseases of the eye and has a reputation for containing healing properties, especially to increase mental capacities such as a creative imagination.

+Crystals direct and amplify energy to be used for manifesting, healing or meditation. They also have the power of channeling, retrieving/storing information of all types.

+Spondylus Shell or Mullu is a genus of bivalve mollusks, the only genus in the family Spondylidae. They are found off the coast of Ecuador, and have been important to Andean peoples since pre-Columbian times, serving as offerings to the Pachamama as well as some kind of currency. In fact much like in Europe the Spondylus shells also reached far and wide as pre-Hispanic Ecuadorian peoples traded them with peoples as far north as present-day Mexico and as far south as the central Andes. The Moche people of ancient Peru worshipped animals and the sea and often depicted Spondylus shells in their art.
