STONES BY USE STONES BY NAME GEOLOGICAL DATA
The universe works on vibrations or frequencies. Gemstones contain vibrational energies and
powers that come from the earth itself. Each mineral has a different
vibrational frequency and it is believed that they can become attuned with your
own vibrations in order to bring about more of that kind of energy in your
life - such as love, protection, health or prosperity (wealth, money, good
fortune in business, etc.)
Our bodies are full of different vibrations too. However, a
mineral has a stable cellular structure, which means that you could break off a
piece from a large chunk of mineral and it would still exhibit the same
properties as the original piece. The frequencies in our own bodies are not
stable and will vary from organ to organ, and can change through different
influences on the physical and subtle bodies.
Keeping these crystals in close proximity, meditating with them, or
using them directly as vibrational elixirs, the etheric body can be helped to
adjust back to a state of health, thereby helping the corresponding physical
body to come into balance.
Learning to ground yourself, connecting to your own guidance,
and by using a pendulum or muscle testing, you can ask whether you need a
particular crystal at this time. You need to connect and work with your
crystals if you want to get the most out of them. Work with your crystals as
often as you are guided. Let your higher self guide you as to where to place
them whether around you or on your body.
Although some messages may be fleeting and obscure, write your
impressions and experiences in your crystal diary. Always thank the crystals and the mineral
kingdom for working with you and cleanse your crystals when you finish.
You may also want to
energetically seal your aura after balancing or working with your stones to
stop all those good vibes being siphoned off by others. Visualize an egg of
energy totally surrounding you with a firm acrylic shell so that the bad vibes
just bounce off into the universe without malice and returns to earth with
positive energy.
Stones and crystals should be cleansed and personally charged
before using them.
You may use a pendulum to test your crystals. Ask your crystals what they need.

CLEANSING
MOONLIGHT: The light of the full moon is
a powerful cleanser, and is 100% safe for all of your
crystals. That makes it a great method for cleansing any of your precious
stones.
Burying Crystals: One of the best methods is
to bury them in a soft potting soil or peat moss which can be purchased at a
gardening center. Fill a potting tray or flowerpot with loose soil or moss, and
bury your crystal in it (without packing the soil) for a few hours to a few
days. To keep water soluble crystals from getting moist, keep the container in
the house out of the rain and humidity. If the soil is moist when you purchase
it, leave it out for a day or two to dry or dry it in a low temperature oven
before putting water soluble crystals in it.
SUNLIGHT: Again, some crystals love the sun.
Clear quartz in particular does well to soak up the sun’s energies, and is
strong enough to withstand the heat. But being that the sun will fade many
crystals, it is not recommended for most.
Other crystals, however, are water soluble, which means they can
dissolve in water. Even brief exposure to running water on an occasional basis
can begin the deterioration. If you are not sure if your crystal can withstand
water, remember that most water soluble crystals end in “ite.” Fluorite, calcite,
malachite, halite, sodolite, and rhodizite should all be kept away from water. Lapis lazuli, turquoise, ivory, and gypsum are also water
soluble. If you are not sure if your crystals are water soluble, take a
specimen and a steel knife. Try to scratch the surface. If it scratches, its
best to keep it out of water until you are able to research it further.
INCENSE: Another fail-proof method for
cleansing any crystal is to hold it in the rising smoke of a
cleansing or purifying incense. Sage, sandalwood and lavender are
excellent choices for this method. Simply suspend the crystal over the smoke,
avoiding contact with the heat source.
Quartz clusters: They are
self cleaning and charging. You can lay
other stones and crystals on top to cleanse
and charge them.

While
your crystal already contains its own unique vibrational energies, those
energies can sometimes become low or depleted. Charging crystals is a very
important step to keeping them tuned. You should charge your crystals:
-after
you have cleansed them
-before
using them for a specific intent
-when
their vibrations feel weak
Many
cleansing methods outlined above also can be used to charge crystals, along
with a few others outlined here.
SUNLIGHT:
If your crystal is sunlight safe, the sun’s energies are a powerful charging
element.
MOONLIGHT:
Another positive charge option, particularly for moonstone and milky colored
stones, such as milky quartz, opal or pearl.
INCENSE:
Running your crystal through incense imbued with the same intent of the stone
can help give it a tremendous power boost. For example, an incense associated
with loving energies (lavender, rose, apple wood) makes a good charging element
for a stone used to promote loving energies (rose quartz,
emerald) Power amplifying crystals, such as malachite,
can be charged with power-lending resins, such as dragon’s blood or frankincense.
You might also want to choose your incense based on planetary or elemental
associations. For example, using incense associated with Venus for stones
associated with Venus, or incense associated with the element of earth for
crystals with the same association.
LIGHTENING: If you cleanse your crystals in lightening,
they will be powerfully charged by the time you retrieve them.
MUSIC/SOUND: Different instruments are associated with
different vibrations, as are different notes on the music scale. You may want
to do some research to find the proper associations to match your crystals, and
then play music for them (either live or recorded). You can also use a tuning
fork or “singing bowl,” which is a crystal bowl that makes a heavenly sound when
stroked properly.
CRYSTAL
CLUSTERS: Crystal cluster chunks or caves are known to be self-charging, and
will charge other crystals lain upon them. Make sure you lay a soft cloth over
the crystal cluster before placing any smaller crystals on it to avoid scratching.
YOUR
OWN ENERGY: You can transfer energy into your crystal in a number of ways to
empower it. You can meditate and hold the crystal in your projective (dominant)
hand, visualizing energy pouring into it. You can hold the crystal and charge
it with your own breath. You can also charge it in religious rites and rituals
by laying it before you or upon your altar and directing energy into it with
your sacred altar tools. If you are able to channel vibrations through your
hands you can ask for the vibrations of ultra-violet to re-charge the crystal
if you don't have access to the sun.
Ask
the earth, water, air and sun (fire) to assist the crystal clearing out all
non-resonant programming, pain and non-resonant energy from the crystals while
helping it to re-charge.
"I bless and thank you
for coming into my life. I invite your soul/s to join us, so we can all work,
grow and learn together. I send my blessing out to your species and the entire
Mineral Kingdom. I thank you."
After
cleaning, hold your crystals. Center and ground yourself. Invite your soul down
into your heart. Connect your energy to the earth. Allow loving energy to flow
from your heart and hands to the crystals. Say whatever your heart feels to
your crystals. Before programming your crystal, form your intent. What do you
want the crystal to do? Help you in healing? Help you attract love? Help you be
successful in your job? Help you study?
Say it in the present tense. For example, “This crystal always attracts
the right man/woman for me!” Special requests should be included. Keep it
positive!
Once you have formed your intent:
1. Deprogram any intentions previously in the crystal.
2. Place on your third eye and focus your intent into the crystal or
hold in your hand, and direct your intent.

This page contains geological data that cautions one when using
certain types of crystals/minerals. While most in the metaphysical/spiritual
community only speak of the higher purpose properties, common sense must be
taken into consideration when using these on a physical level. This page is a
cautionary measure on stones that may be harmful in certain situations or
specific types of minerals (raw versus tumbled, Fibrous versus crystallized
or mass), whether it be in Elixirs or prolonged holding, bathing, touching to
skin, etc. It is not meant to perpetuate fear or anxiety, but instead to
educate and share our deep respect for the crystal and mineral kingdom. Most
of these are geared toward internal use with a few being cautionary for
external use. A good rule of thumb is to make sure you wash your hands
after using any crystal/mineral. It keeps our mineral friends clean and is a
great way to show respect to ourselves and our crystal/mineral family. Most of this information is really geared toward raw
specimens. I do not think tumbled, for the most part, would be harmful, with
a few exceptions, such as Realgar. NOTE: Before making any elixir or charging any water, it is a
good idea to double check for any possible toxicity that may occur, if using
several stones in combination, for elemental reactions between the stones. In
fact, it would be best if each stone charges in its own container of water as
opposed to putting four or five stones in the same container. |
