The original Jingle Cones were created by Native Americans from the lids of tobacco tins.  These lids were rolled into cones and sewn on a fabric dress as a decoration. 

The jingle dance is an Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) healing dance that originates with the Naotkamegwanning (Whitefish Bay) First Nation in Northern Ontario. The dresses have metal cones stitched into rows or elaborate designs that jingle when the dancer moves. The shape and sounds of the jingles are said to spread healing, whether dancing for one person, or a whole nation. Dancers do a side-step movement and normally stay in a line, not passing each other as they dance, as they do not want to break the healing circle.

Amazonite is a stone of peace, truth, harmony, and communication. It gently soothes the nerves, and it’s energies can be felt to the touch. This stone radiates blue rays full of rejuvenating vibrations that are here to calm the heart. Any environment that Amazonite is placed in will calm the energy and fill the air with positive energies. It’s been called the “peacemaker stone” due to its communicative abilities. Our heart and throat become linked, thus allowing the truest thoughts to surface and be spoken with ease. Emotions usually play a role when trying to express any truth, making it naturally hard to speak from the heart due to the power of the mind. This crystal provides flowing energies just like the river in which its found. Amazonite encourages adventure, love, inspiration, and free speech. When trying to communicate difficult topics to the ones we love, try placing a piece of Amazonite in your pocket and allow it to start working. Let the stone calm the environment and dispel any negative energies that may be near. Conversations will soon flow and allow nothing but the passionate truth to be vocalized.
