I've heard a lot about Inari gems. My neighbour, Pete, wore one in a ring, and he reported finding its influence to be deeply calming and peace-inducing. Pete is a day trader. Before too long, the soothing Inari induced his mind to think faster and better. Pete's trading became consistently prosperous and "lucky". In a year when markets were tricky and unpredictable, Pete's trading was stellar, and Pete was well in his way to become financially independent.

My friend, Louise, had an Inari gem set in a pendant, and she wore that pendant a lot. Louise works in sales. She found that the Inari allowed her to be persuasive, respected and well-liked. The Inari had opened a lot of doors for Louise, and she found that the gemstone allowed her to conquer over anxieties associated with doing call calls and making sales presentations. While wearing her Inari, Louise became a top performer, and an expert in her field.

And here I am: me and the Inari... and here are my impressions of the Inari. My Inari is a loose gemstone. Round, measuring 12mm in diameter, and blue. One of the first things that you notice about the Inari is just how blue it is. There are many blues out there: some blues are as light as the sky, some are reminiscent of a sapphire's Ceylon blue, and yet some are closer to the rich dark blues of the deep ocean.

Well, Inari is a bit like all of those blues, all masterfully mixed in one. Smack-in-your-face blue, the Inari blue shimmers with never-ending sparkle. The Inari gem remains shinning and "alive" under the saddest garage light, and under the sickest yellow fluorescents.

Unlike diamonds that reserve their best sparkle when under the mega watt super strong lights of the jewellery store, the Inari gem sparkles regardless, rain or shine... and with that flicker, the Inari gem brightens your crappiest moods and fills your soul with sincere and generous warmth, love and joy.

The Inari blue is the most gorgeous blue one can ever imagine: rich, textured, velvety and alive. Under its blue spell, your mind lets go of fears, anger, grief and hurt dissipate away, and your heart feels warm with hope and optimism. If thought creates matter, the Inari gem creates thoughts: the self-loving, positive thoughts that in turn create riches, opportunities and abundance.

... and just when you're mesmerized of how unforgettable blue the Inari gem truly is, a brief, fleeting flicker of spring green shoots across the gemstone. It's the green ray, testament to the soothing vibration of the 528 Hertz frequency beat. The 528 Hertz has been called the "love frequency". It makes you feel loved, and it gives you the ability to love.

Before too long, you feel in love with life, your work and your spouse. Love opens doors, and brings about opportunities. Love allows you to experience a positive outlook in all endeavours... and a positive outlook helps bring about the materialization of your innermost wishes, hopes and desires.
