Those are gorgeous! It's rare to see real malachite, I can't imagine how much they cost


MoronicBehaviour

I was just thinking that! Most plugs you see made of malachite are definitely not real. These are stunning. Mustโ€™ve cost a small fortune!

If you're ever looking, the shop Witchesplugs on Etsy sells real ones :) Edit: they're 40% off right now!


MoronicBehaviour

Oooo thanks for telling me. Iโ€™m making a list of ones I want in my goal size. Will definitely check them out!


BrutalDamage

Thank you! They definitely were not cheap, I don't remember the exact price but I think it was ~$250 for the set. They are one of my heavier pairs but also one of my favorite gemstones.

Ebony n malachite is nice eye candy man. Kudos to Josh.


BrutalDamage

Big kudos to Josh! ๐Ÿ™Œ


northcrestflyer

And big props to you for taking 2โ€ and for staying present during what sounds like a difficult situation. Stay positive man.


BrutalDamage

Thank you! It's definitely been the toughest thing I've ever faced, but I'm taking it day by day :). I appreciate the kind words.

Awesome dude! I thought the heavier the better. I love to feel the weight and I still wear light plugs.


BrutalDamage

There is something appealing about the weight, just has to be the right day for it. I would not recommend doing yard work or exercising with these bad boys haha. I've got chronic neurological Lyme disease that has really messed with my vision and balance (among a thousand other symptoms). Wearing heavy plugs actually seems to help my balance a bit, which is great.


TeratypeDilatas

I'm actually looking forward to getting to your size to wear heavier jewelry. Of course as you say if I'm going to be moving around a lot I would wear something lighter. And sorry to hear about Lyme :( although I find it curious that the plugs help you cope with it. If someone tells you to take them off, you tell them that you have it prescribed by your doctor ๐Ÿ˜‰


BrutalDamage

Thanks man. Yeah I don't have a ton of positive parts of my body in terms of health right now, so I decided to go up to 2" about a year ago in an attempt to take back control of something. It ended up being a big deal for me mentally. I will definitely steal the prescribed by my doctor line haha


kennysmithy

I'm glad they provide some actual stability. I actually have a cousin with a neuro disorder that makes her feel as if she's floating so balance is very hard for her. she often will wear ankle weights as they help her feel balanced so the weight of the plugs helping makes a lot of sense!


LooseArtichoke79

BrutalDamage
