Pride at Ascend: Color, Community & Connection

Pride has always been a celebration of visibility, resilience, and the freedom to live authentically. At Ascend, we love that Pride is expressed through color—because color has always carried meaning. It tells stories. It creates connection. It reminds us who we are and what we carry with us.

The colors of the Pride flag each represent something powerful: red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sunlight, green for nature, blue for harmony, and violet for spirit. Over time, Pride has continued to grow with even more colors and flags that honor the full spectrum of our LGBTQ+ community—celebrating trans identity, queer joy, community care, and the visibility of people whose stories deserve to be centered and celebrated.

That language of color feels deeply connected to the crystals in this collection.

Rose and Red stones—like rhodonite, garnet, or red jasper—reflect the energy of love, vitality, and the courage to be fully seen. They echo Pride’s reminder that every life deserves celebration and every identity deserves grounding to help them shine.

Orange stones—like carnelian or orange calcite—carry creativity, healing, and confidence. They remind us of the bravery it takes to express ourselves openly and the joy that comes from living authentically.

Yellow crystals—like citrine and bumblebee jasper—bring brightness, optimism, and personal power. They feel like sunlight: warm, energizing, and impossible to ignore.

Green stones—such as aventurine, jade, and moss agate—connect us to growth, grounding, and abundance. Pride is rooted in community, and green reminds us how powerful it is when people are supported exactly as they are.

Blue crystals—from lapis lazuli to sodalite and aquamarine—are often connected with truth, communication, and inner peace. They honor the beauty of finding your voice and speaking it with clarity.

Purple and Violet stones—like amethyst and fluorite—carry intuition, spirit, and transformation. They remind us that Pride is also about honoring our own inner knowing and trusting the journey that brought us here.

And in the spirit of the Progress Pride flag, pink, white, and light blue reflect the beauty and visibility of our trans community—while black and brown honor queer communities of color, resilience, remembrance, and the ongoing work of making space for everyone to belong.

Celebrate Your Life in Color

One of our favorite ways to celebrate Pride—and celebrate yourself—is through an Aura Photo & Aura Reading at Ascend.

Color tells a story, and your aura offers a beautiful glimpse into the energy you’re carrying in this moment. Through our aura photography experience, you can see your energy captured in full color and explore what those colors may represent through an intuitive interpretation. It’s a joyful, meaningful experience whether you’re marking a milestone, honoring a season of growth, celebrating Pride with friends, or simply taking a moment to reconnect with yourself.

Pride is about being seen. Aura photography is a beautiful reminder that your energy, your presence, and your individuality are something worth celebrating.

If you can’t make it in during June, we offer aura photography and readings daily, monthly, and year-round—because celebrating life in color doesn’t belong to just one month. Pride lives in self-expression, community, and honoring exactly who you are whenever you’re ready.

This collection celebrates all of it: color, identity, joy, healing, courage, and chosen family.

Whether you’re finding a crystal that feels aligned with your journey, choosing a meaningful gift, or booking an aura photo to celebrate your own energy in color, we’re honored to be part of your story.

With love, intention, and community,
Ascend
