Healing Gemstones: Tiger's Eye

Gemstones are known for being used as adornments in jewelry, but they also are used for their healing properties. Tiger's eye, the stone of self discipline, is a common gemstone that is found in South Africa. Ancient Egyptians believed that tiger's eye would bring the wearer good fortune and protection. Tiger's-eye is polished to show its characteristic band of pearly luminescence. The colors range from a rich golden yellow to dark brown. Those who study the chakra (healing points of energy located throughout the body) believe that tiger's eye is a tool for health and well-being. Some of the benefits are:

Promotes clear thinking, will, courage, and confidence
Attracts beauty and abundance
Helps the bearer to organize details and to be practical
Brings inner peace and calms turmoil,
Eliminates the depression and encourages optimism
Stimulates wealth and enhances the ability to maintain wealth
Aides in sensing what is good and what is evil
Promotes spiritual well-being and psychic protection

The Williamsburg Road Super Flea Market

The Williamsburg Road Super Flea Market is an indoor flea market that is open all year. It is located in eastern Henrico on 3302 Williamsburg Rd Richmond, VA 23231. I thought that this flea market had closed, but to my surprise they are still open under new management. I was surprised to see stores like The Ghana House (used to be in VCU area), Afrikongo, 1 Eye Originals, and A Peaceful Place to name a few. You can find a great selection of incense, incense burners, art work, black soap, body oils, unique jewelry, urban apparel, Afrocentric items, computer repair, etc. It is a true unknown gem. Help support local businesses and artisans! If you are looking for a retail space for your small business, they have great low rates to help you get started. Visit their website The Williamsburg Road Super Flea Market Website more information.
