Crystals have been here since the beginning. They are the bones of the Earth Mother and filled with her lifeforce.
CALCITE is used mainly for astral travelling. Place one beside your
head on a bedside table, or beneath your pillow to boost you while attempting
astral travel.
CITRINE is good for the internal organs in the solar plexus area of
the body because of its yellow colour. It also helps with the bladder,
kidney area. A good one for tummyaches.
CLEAR QUARTZ is one of the most universally used crystals. Because
of its clear colour, it affects all parts of the body, but its particular
specialty is to help with memory. A good one for helping you to do study.
Simply place the crystal in the study area close to you as you do your
study. It will help the brain to retain the information that it takes in
as you study. Another function is to balance the chakras throughout the
body to prevent illness. For this reason it is a good one to give to a
child, to keep them healthy and to boost their memory as they are learning
at a very accellerated rate at a young age.
CHRYSOCOLLA is one of the copper minerals. It is often used for arthritic
problems for this reason, although for things relating to the throat area
because of its light blue colour. I have found its best use for 'ladies
problems'. It is very effective in this area and has been used successfully
by many customers of mine over the years.
..SMOKY QUARTZ is useful as a protector against negativity. It is also
good to help remember your dreams.
AQUAMARINE is a beautiful crystal good for the throat area. Its most
useful property though, is the ability to help with excess fluid problems.
It has been used by those with thyroid trouble also.
APACHE TEAR, or obsidian is a good protector from negativity. It is
also useful to help you understand the meaning of 'balance' and how to
use it in your life. A stone with powerful energy.
AZURITE is another of the copper minerals. A powerful crystal for working with the third eye and spiritual matters. I have found a combination of azurite and malachite very useful for those suffering with bronchial asthma when worn on the body. Because azurite is a soft mineral in its natural state, care must be taken when wearing it, or handling it as it tends to crumble. It is best to wrap it in a soft natural substance to protect it.
APOPHYLLITE is often clear and mistaken for quartz, but the crystal faces have a defined diamond shape and are unmistakeable once seen. They can also be squarish is shape. The energy from the pale green form is very soothing to the nerves. Both forms balance and align the chakras and help you to be more in tune with your own energies and those of nature.
..
DIOPTASE is one of those minerals that are somewhat hard to come by.
It is a beautiful rich green colour, but the crystals are quite small.
I have found it very effective for helping with high blood pressure.
OPAL is very helpful with eyesight problems. Depending on its colour,
it is also useful for helping with problems in other parts of the body.
TOPAZ is usually white, yellow or blue. Has been known to help with liver and gallbladder area, the yellow form mainly. The blue is good for thyroid problems and tissue regeneration. The white is a balancer and helps with communication with spirit guides.
PREHNITE is a good one for helping to bond in relationships. It has
a very soft, gentle energy and is good for meditation and relaxation.
WOLFRAMITE is a good one for those who are frail, needing more stamina
and physical strength.
AMETHYST is great for headaches. I have personally used it for hyperactive
children to good effect. It is also good for all things spiritual as it
relates to the crown chakra.
RHODOCHROSITE is great for nervous disorders. It has a gentle soothing
energy unlike any other. Because of its pink colour, it is directly related
to matters of the emotions. It is great when dealing with trauma because
of this.
RHODONITE is good for nervous stress, again because of the pink colour.
It has a more masculine, harsher energy than rhodochrosite. It is good
for giving self confidence to those lacking this quality within themselves.
SAPPHIRE is the stone of love and loyalty. The dark blue form is great for psychic workers and helps to enhance the third eye. It has potent energies and the various colour forms affect the relavant chakras accordingly. The green variety is good for those with heart problems.
Each crystal has its own unique properties and function. When treated with love and respect it will respond in kind and help you to help yourself. Treasure your new friend and you will know the joy and happiness only true friends can bring. There are many other crystals available and good books that will help you to learn more about them. This is only a few of the ones that I have used in my years as a healer. I wish you well in your crystal adventurings.
