I had been wearing green tourmaline crystals in my ears since about Feb. this year. I had never worn much of anything in my ears because they are so sensitive (only high grade sterling silver or surgical steel would work with my skin). I had never gaged my ears up before, but I found some small tourmalines and shoved them through my tiny holes and once they healed they felt amazing. Tourmaline is a stone I have connected with ever since I first found it. My only problem with the whole gaged up ear thing was what I call "ear funk." If you know anyone with ear holes bigger than a basic piercing you might know about it. My ears released this white substance that stunk and there would be times when I could smell it without even touching my ears. I actually, years ago, took out my eyebrow piercing because of said funk. Everyone I know with gaged ears has this, one of my boyfriends roommates actually enjoys the smell, but it makes me sick to my stomach.
But I was dealing with it. Hell, I had green tourmalines in my ears and that was all that mattered!
About a month ago, not even, I was at a rock shop and the guy who owned the place was really into lapidary work and had a bunch of stones he had polished down especially for body jewellry. He had this pair of gorgeous chrysocolla plugs that were slightly bigger than my tourmalines and I was so drawn to them that I had to get them. Stuck them in my ears, let them heal, and now....................................................... I have no ear funk!!
I have never worked with chrysocolla before, so I don't really the properties of it, but I am in awe that I have no smell in my ears anymore. My boyfriend has had gaged ears for almost 10 years, putting everything from bone to wood to metal to clay in his ears and he has never ever once not had ear funk. I have never known a person with gaged ears that doesn't have a smell protruding from them. But I don't anymore! I can sit there and play with my ears all day long and I never have smelly fingers afterwards.
Wow, I am realizing that probably none of you want to hear about funk in ears. But this is pretty amazing, if you ask me. I have found a new love for this stone and must know more about it.
