Crystals and minerals are Plascon’s brand new Spring 2022 Palette. Labelled Mineral, the palette looks at colours derived from naturally occurring stones such as purple amethyst and reddish-brown jasper.
Long known for their vibrational quality and purported healing properties, crystals are the result of chemical reactions happening deep within the earth. So, this palette is in fact very grounded, with soft colours, ethereal lilacs and smoky lavenders.
A new relationship with earth and colours
In the post-pandemic era, we have entered a new relationship with the earth, driven by a desire to connect with self, others and nature as well as a heightened awareness of health and wellness.
Amethyst for healing
Amethyst is a quartz crystal that occurs in various shades of violet and purple – from the deepest hue to the lightest blush. Yoga teaches us that these colours are associated with both the third eye and crown chakras of the human body, and they denote spiritual awareness and enlightenment.
“Said to be the bridge that connects the concrete with the divine, the meaning of amethyst is synonymous with spirituality,” writes Tinyritual.co.
Today, we are experiencing the same need for healing after a time of collective trauma. The other reason we are craving soft purples now, has to do with society’s greater awareness of gender sensitivity and fluidity.
The mindful mood of spring
Welcome contemporary mineral notes into your home with this season’s quartz-inspired purples: The mysterious Plascon Smoky Butterfly Bush (P2-D1-3), the uplifting Plascon Crescent Moon (P5-D2-3) and Plascon Ginger Biscuit (O1-C1-1).
