Celebrating Earth Day: The Crystal Connection
As Earth Day approaches, we reflect on the importance of our planet and the steps we can take to live more sustainably. Earth Day, celebrated every year on April 22, marks the anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970. It’s a day that honours the achievements of the environmental movement and raises awareness of the need to protect Earth’s natural resources for future generations.
In the spirit of Earth Day, let’s explore a unique connection between our planet and the beautiful crystals used in Xander Kostroma Jewellery. These crystals are not only aesthetically pleasing but also carry a deeper significance for many people.
The Power of Crystals
Crystals have been used throughout history for their healing properties and many individuals find comfort and meaning in the energy they believe crystals possess.
Xander Kostroma crystal jewellery incorporates a variety of crystals, each with its own set of attributed properties:
- Citrine: Known for joy and creativity, citrine is said to spark enthusiasm and bring happiness into ones life.
- Amethyst: Representing trust and intuition, amethyst is thought to enhance spiritual awareness.
- Lapis Lazuli: Symbolising truth and wisdom, lapis lazuli is considered a stone of honesty and clarity.
Sustainability and Social Responsibility
Xander Kostroma Jewellery aligns with the ethos of Earth Day through its commitment to sustainability and social responsibility. The brand offsets CO2 emissions from every sale by funding the restoration and conservation of various habitats in the UK. Moreover, all crystals are fairly sourced from small suppliers in Asia, ensuring ethical practices and supporting local communities.
Connecting Earth Day and Crystals
People use crystals for various reasons, from seeking stress relief to desiring an improvement in overall well-being. The tactile experience of holding a crystal or wearing it as part of a piece of jewellery can be calming and grounding. For those who believe in the energy of crystals, these stones serve as a reminder of the Earth’s gifts and our responsibility to protect them.
This Earth Day 2024, let’s draw inspiration from the principles of crystal healing and the sustainable practices of Xander Kostroma jewellery. We can all take small steps towards a more sustainable lifestyle, whether it’s through supporting eco-friendly brands, reducing our carbon footprint, or simply taking a moment to appreciate the natural beauty around us.
As we celebrate Earth Day, let’s remember that every action counts. By choosing to wear jewellery that is not just decorative, but also carries a message of environmental consciousness, we contribute to a movement that values our planet and its resources.
Let’s cherish our Earth, not just on Earth Day, but every day, and allow the crystals we wear to be a symbol of our commitment to a healthier, happier, and more sustainable world for all.

Love,
Xander & Co.
