Orange is an equal mix of red and yellow, two of the primary colours, and as such it combines the energising qualities of red with the focusing qualities of yellow. Orange is associated with creativity, prosperity and developing self-esteem, being the colour attributed to Mercury, the god of information and communication.
Flow of energy
Orange is a colour for dealing with ebb and flow, or their absence: artistic skills and creative inspiration are expressions of these slows; blocks and traumas indicate their absence. You can use orange crystals to stimulate the Sacral Chakra and remove any energy blockages in this area. The vibrant energy of orange also makes it a good colour for pregnant women, as it acts particularly on the womb and reproductive organs.
Orange Stones of Curious Power
In the past, orange crystals have been linked to unusual legends and concepts that have attributed marvellous power to them.
Radiant beauty of fire opal has gathered some curious beliefs, such as its supposed ability to shine at night and stop blond hair from losing its colour. An ancient belief was that if a fire opal lost its colour it indicated the presence of a deadly poison.
In the Middle Ages, rubicelle was thought to protect from financial an physical disaster, and it was often used for protective amulets.
Topaz has also been linked to some strange beliefs, including the Greek thought which held that is exuded a milky fluid to cure rabies.
