Crystals & Gems |
Uses
Crystals and gemstones are widely used in healing work and meditation. They are the simplest way to maintain the body's magnetic field and to return to our naturally healthy state. Work with them by carrying them in your pocket, as jewelry, being held during meditation, or placed on the body.
All crystals are minerals, but not all are gems. Any of them can be gemstones with a gemologist's cutting, polishing and shaping. It is the belief of many (including myself) that the more natural the stone is the stronger its properties.
Care and Cleansing
After you get a stone or crystal, it is important to cleanse it so that it will be purified for your own use. During manufacture, handling by others, clerks, many hands and other energies have touched the stone. There are a number of ways to cleanse and purify them. You can put tumbled stones in a dish of sea salt * for at least one hour, but overnight is best; or light a sage stick and bathe it in the smoke; or rinse in cool water; can "soak" in dry brown rice, sand, earth, or sea salt during a waning moon; "soak" in flowers/petals; can also use a power cleansing stone such as Selenite or Herkimer and "brush" it, or set it in a moonbeam during the full moon. *Salt is not good for all crystals, such as Selenite. The most popular method is moonlight if you have a window with it.

Power Stones
I recommend wearing your birth-stone or personal power stone along with the best stones for the healing or metaphysical properties you want at this time.
Not all of us are able to buy our stones in gemstone jewel form, in which case I recommend you buy from a rock shop in a rough or tumbled form for a relatively low cost. Then, you just insert them into a cage meant for attaching to a chain or wire wrap them yourself for attachment.
I now offer these pendants which include a protection stone and are very lucky to the wearer. That's why I call them "Lucky Pendants"! Click here to view samples and prices.
