       Saxena reflects on--and challenges--the ideas associated

       (rose quartz), happiness and success (citrine), balance 
       (amethyst), self-care (black tourmaline), purity (pearl), 
       imposter syndrome (pyrite), toxic positivity (carnelian), 
       change (opals), traditional concepts of marriage 
       (diamonds), presentation versus identity (obsidian), and 
       death (amber)." -- Amazon.com.
