Wanderlust Life founder Georgie Roberts is a jewellery designer whose work centres on the power of positive gemstones. As we prepare for a New Moon in the coming weeks, Georgie explores how different gemstones can support in creating powerful change by attaching something tangible to your manifestations.
Every month or so the universe treats us to a new moon. This cosmic reset represents the perfect time for fresh starts. Whenever a new lunar cycle begins, it’s a golden opportunity to spell out new intentions for the weeks ahead and set our manifestations in motion.
I grew up surrounded by my mum’s collection of crystals, and my earliest jewellery designs married gemstones with a minimal aesthetic. Ten years on, I’m still focused on designing gemstone jewellery that carries spirit and conveys deep meaning.
Whenever I set new affirmations and intentions, I think of it like sowing seeds – we’re planting the thoughts and self-belief that can take root and eventually grow into activation. To bring ideas to life and keep them front of mind, it can really help to attach your resolutions and affirmations to something you can see, feel and touch on a daily basis.
There are a few stones I return to again and again for their potent properties and ability to serve as a visual mantra, reinforcing my dreams and reminding me of my manifestations. For the next new moon, let intuition be your guide and pick one of these power-packed gems to accompany you on your own self-growth journey.
The Best Gemstones for New Moon Manifestations
Labradorite - Self Belief
Ready to tune into your own truth? As the stone of courage and transformation, labradorite packs a ton of mystical energy and powerful healing. With its flashes of gold, it’s strongly associated with Aurora Borealis – the Northern Lights. This is a good one for focusing your gaze within, dialling out distractions and illuminating your higher purpose.
Pearl - Self Love
Anyone who’s ever successfully navigated from point A to point B will tell you it’s all about staying true to your course. With their captivating iridescence, pearls have served as powerful symbols of loyalty and integrity since ancient times, making this a fantastic stone to reinforce commitments to yourself and guide you to your end-game. These luminous oceanic gems represent purity, inner wisdom and the enduring nature of love – including self-love!
Black Onyx - Self Motivation
Whether you’re stuck in a rut or about to embark on a journey, black onyx is a handy friend to have. The cheerleader of the gems, this energising stone wants to help push you forward and stir up the motivation to pursue your dreams. Then once you’re on your way, it shields against negative energy so you can keep rolling towards your goal.
Moonstone - Self Transformation
The ancients believed that moonstones were made of solidified rays of the moon, and with their milky opalescent qualities these gems definitely deliver a cosmic vibe. Moonstones have been used for centuries as a charm to guide travellers seeking a safe passage, but their powers aren’t limited to physical journeys – this is a dreamy choice for anyone who’s on a trip towards transformation.
Mother of Pearl - Self Restoration
Feeling frazzled? Being plugged in 24/7 makes it all too easy for screens and scheduling to take their toll. Now might be the time to slow down and reach for a restorative stone like shimmering mother of pearl. Delivering the healing power of the sea, this is a cool, contemplative option for boosting kindness, calmness, harmony and balance.
