Treasure City Offers Gems To Enhance Your Life


It began with a question, "Wouldn't you like to make 2011 a great year for yourself?'

"Who doesn't want that?" said Mrs Shalini Sajnani, whose hobby is collecting ethnic-themed and unique objects since she was young.

Her dream came true when she opened a shop recently with the encouragement of her husband, family and friends. Located behind Huo Ho department store in Delima, Kampong Serusop in Jalan Muara, her shop "TreasureCity" sells unique and ethnic-themed merchanise.

Hundreds of natural rock crystals line the shop walls. There are gemstones, rings, pendants, bracelets and interesting accessories of different sizes, colours, designs and shapes.

The shop also has antique-looking vases, lamps and other home decorative items.

The friendly manageress said that natural rock crystals and gemstones are treasured for their beauty, unique form and rarity.

Aside from aserthetic values, countless medicinal properties have been attributed to crystals and gemstones since ancient times in Babylon, Persia, Egypt and India.

Different stones are said to have different healing properties.

Shalini said that "Natural crystals and gemstones are not only things of natural beauty for the house or self but are 'energy-filled' objects that act as 'Switches' and 'Triggers' to enhance mental and physical 'positivity' in everyone".

She claimed that most people hardly use their brain's basic mental capacity. The reason is that parts of our brain are blocked or are not "Switched On".

The normal way to "Switch On" our brain is through acquiring knowledge through learning, practice and experience.

But with the right knowledge of crystals and having them around you or with you, the crystals' energy or aura frequency radiation connects and switches on something within our brain and triggers a reaction that enhances physical and mental awareness, and brings other interesting healing benefits.

She claimed that the energy within the crystals and gemstones have been "scientifically proven" and used in many high-end technology equipment that confirms their natural "super energy" features.

The simplest example is a "quartz" watch in which the quartz energies vibrations that keep the perfect timing of the watch.

Capitivated by subject, I bought for myself "Lapis Lazuli" gemstone to enhance my professional management abilities.

For a friend who is very much into "Feng Shui" and the science of nature's gift to us all, I bought an "Amethyst" and a "Rose Quartz" pendant for enhancing the brain and happiness.
