Isn’t this just a stunning bead. Yes, it’s a bead. A lampwork glass bead made by one of the best beads I know of, Kim Miles.
One thing I find interesting and a little sad in the metaphysical community is that glass is considered “not real” and often without metaphysical properties. Hmph. I say not.
Can you not just feel the spirit of this bead echoing even though the photo? It’s energy is of the lotus, with all these colors a symbol of purity, perseverence, wisdom of knowledge, and love. Each color relates to a chakra too. And glass is magical in itself. The whole process of turning silica into glass is in effect a miracle of transformation and brings those energies. I’ve always found glass to be a mystical and energetic thing.
Here’s a funny little story about how I got this bead. I showed a photo of an outstanding lotus bead similar to this to a friend and she was wowed too. My birthday was approaching and she decided I would have it for my birthday. Later my friend told me the story of how it was acquired.
When another friend asked what I’d like for my birthday, my first friend said, “A bead.”
Second friend said, “What kind of beads? Maybe we can get her a couple of strands to play with.”
First friend corrected her, “No, a single bead. She’s been wanting one for years.”
First friend showed second friend the lotus bead that was for sale at the time and second friend suddenly understood.
It took them 2 months to get a lotus bead for me and I was thrilled to pieces. And no, I’m not selling this bead. It’s too magical and full of bright energy.
