Informational Card
Gold Amethyst and Lotus Flower Necklace This is a 30 inch gold toned necklace with approximately 1 inch amethyst stone, with a gold cut out lotus charm. I am not a fan of the bright gold chains ~ I would rather see an antique gold or dull brass or even copper. Silver is my preferred color but I know that people like gold toned items. I will have to find a way to “darken” this chain and charm, as I really dislike the bright shade as it makes it look cheap. What also doesn’t help is that the amethyst stone has so many inclusions that is mainly white, with browns and some purples. On top of that, there is a small part that wasn’t polished, so you can really see how rough this gem is. I understand that these are handcrafted and not terribly expensive items, but this piece is really not a winner here. I would have rather had an interesting ceramic charm pendent instead of this. RV $45.00
Lotus In Buddhism, the lotus flower represents purity, spiritual awaking and faithfulness. The flower symbolizes purity, because it is clean, despite living in murky pond waters.

Amazonite and Howlite Goddess Bracelet This was our spoiler for the month and YEAH! I love this bracelet. This is more like it. The main part of the bracelet is made with white howlite beads that have grey striations running thru them. The top of the bracelet has two round and one long oval amazonite beads in a lovely sea foam green, capped with silver tone beads. This does look to be a tighter fit than normal and I am guessing it is 7 1/4 to 7 1/2 inch bracelet and the beads are quite bigger than most Yogi Surprise bracelets. I really love this bracelet and it will go well with my other beaded ones. a RV $35.00

Rawmino Mint Chocolate Hearts Oh mini chocolates! I like getting chocolates like this because … I have a guilty pleasure. I will put a mini chocolate on a spoon and dip into my hot coffee, lift out and lick the melted chocolate off the spoon! Yeah, weird, but I like it that way ~~ turns my coffee into a mocha treat! 2 oz RV $6.00
Description: A heart is the world’s most universal symbol of love, and as chocolate is love made edible, we decided combining the two was about as perfect a combination as there could be. These little bites of mint chocolate bliss are handcrafted, stone ground at low temperatures, and made with organic, fair trade cacao, low-glycemic coconut sugar, and a refreshing infusion of pure organic peppermint essential oil. This is pure, unadulterated Rawmio chocolate love.
Ingredients: raw cacao nibs, raw cacao butter, coconut sugar, medicinal-grade peppermint essential oil. *Certified Organic
A mixed month from Yogi Surprise. I love the bracelet and I think it is a high quality item. The chocolate hearts are really smooth and delicious as well. However, the necklace just doesn’t do it for me. The gold tone is one thing, but the stone was so heavily included and it was not polished all the way around ~ I fear this stone will crack and break, due to the inclusions. Oh well. Win some, lose some. I paid $25.00 for this box and received a RV of $86.00 and I feel this box is worth well over $25.00, even if I don’t feel it is worth $86.00! That necklace is REALLY marked up, but as I always state, part of the proceeds from this box will go back to the local artisans that made these items and help educate their community, so I don’t feel like I wasted any money.
