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. |
