Gemstones are mineral crystals that have been used in medicine, healing, and energy balance across cultures for thousands of years. To highlight Jalan’s Eastern origins, we incorporate traditional gemstone tools and techniques with modern skincare products. You will also find gemstone tools such as facial rollers, gua sha stones, and massage wands in our Jalan Shop.

Gemstones for Facial Massage

Healing gemstones are cut into various shapes and sizes and polished, resulting in a smooth and silky feeling on the skin when used in the form of a gua sha stone or facial roller. They are non-porous, easy to clean, and resistant to harboring bacteria.

Rose Quartz

Rose quartz, associated with the heart chakra, is known to soothe the mind and release negativity, promoting self-love and acceptance.

Using a rose quartz roller or gua sha stone smoothes wrinkles and improves elasticity, giving your complexion a luminous glow while allowing deeper penetration of your serums or creams.

Jade Stone

Jade stone has been used for thousands of years in Eastern skincare. The idea behind it is fairly simple: Jade is relatively cool to the touch and stays cool even when it comes in contact with the skin. This cooling effect helps brighten the complexion, reduces puffiness, stimulates lymphatic drainage, and promotes blood circulation.

Amethyst

Amethyst is a variety of quartz that is a beautiful shade of violet or dark purple. This powerful and protective stone is thought to relieve stress and irritability, balance mood, and promote relaxation. When used in meditation, it encourages a state of enhanced spirituality.

Amethyst has been known to reduce redness when used for facial massage and its anti-inflammatory properties make it a great choice for evening and balancing the complexion.

Black Obsidian

Black obsidian shields against negative energy and brings clarity and truth. This creative stone also encourages compassion and strength during change, leaving us more grounded.

An excellent stone for facial massage, black obsidian retains warmth which can help with congested skin and promote holistic healing.

Gemstones for Body Work

You may have also seen gemstone massage wands in the Jalan Shop. Harnessing the power of gemstones for massage helps achieve a sense of peace and improves energy flow throughout the body. Popular gemstones for massage wands include larvikite, jade stone, selenite, and nuummite.

Larvikite

Larvikite assists with inner transformation, encourages adaptability to change, stimulates your inner vision, and is even said to improve psychic capacities. This majestic black stone is associated with creativity and imagination.

Jade Stone

In addition to our facial rollers and gua sha tools that we sell and use in select facials, we also feature a custom jade stone massage fork in our Jade Stone Massage. When used for massage, jade stone helps clean and de-stress the organs within the 12 meridians of the body to rid toxins. Meridians are invisible energy pathways that run through the body. Our vital life energy, or "qi," (pronounced Chi) is thought to flow along these meridians, and anything that disrupts the smooth flow of qi can cause illness. Jade stone plays an important role in healing the body by raising its natural defenses.

Selenite

Selenite is a crystallized form of gypsum, appearing in the form of a clear, textured stone. It provides clarity and helps remove energy blocks, allowing your qi to flow freely. Known as a protective stone, it can also shield you from negative outside influences, clearing and guarding your space and allowing room for calm and focus. Selenite can be used in the form of a massage wand or for meditation and spiritual work.

NOTE: Selenite is a soft mineral and should be kept dry.

Nuummite

The oldest mineral on Earth, nuummite was formed over three billion years ago and discovered in Nuuk, Greenland. Nuummite is a black stone with flecks of metallic blue and silver.

In the workplace, this stone of empowerment can inspire quick, intuitive reactions while maintaining logic. Nuummite helps increase energy and strength, allowing you to achieve greater potential.

When used in the form of a massage wand, nuummite can help relieve pain and discomfort. You can use a nuummite wand to roll out your neck, forearms, wrists, and legs. Practice long, flowing strokes with the soft, elongated edge or use the pointed ends to target specific pain points.
