Safe is made with a stone called Barites (barium sulfate) which is clear like quartz but very much heavier. Among other things, Barites is used in mining to protect the drill bit by drawing soil particles away from the drill. The drill bit penetrates new ground, which reminds us of the journey many of us are on at the moment.

For adults, this essence, Safe, is for times when we wish we’d never started on this journey of self-discovery, times when we feel very scared and unsure because there is no recognisable territory ahead. Safe wants us to know that we are always loved and protected and it is safe to continue on to new territory.

For children, the drill bit also reminds us of the child’s journey, like a drill in reverse, a seed pushing up from the earth and growing into uncertain conditions. Safe will help the child to feel shielded and protected.
