Fire Stones

All the stones mentioned here are in my collection.  Most of this information is material I've found on the web.  As I can limber up my typing fingers I'll replace it with my own notes from my book of shadows.(denoted by italic boldface type)

AGATE(strawberry)

CARNELIAN (orange quartz) brings the orange ray to the planet. It's color allows one to relax and let go of disharmony on every level. It is very healing for the physical body and has an affinity for the skin, soft tissue, and lymphatic system. It soothes the emotions and brings their expression more into balance thus helping one to adopt a more loving viewpoint.

CINAMON TOPAZ

FIRE AGATE stimulates the whole system. It's a good memory stone and tissue regenerator. It balances, grounds and protects those doing 'light' work. Earth and fire are combined into the mineral. It adds to those areas of a person's astrological makeup. (Acts on the 1st and 6th chakras.)

FIRE OPAL is  a supercharged carnelian when it comes to sex magic.  It's the stone to wear when you want to stand out in a crowded bar.  Just make sure it's set in gold rather than silver -- either as a ring or as a pendent and for maximum effect it should be noticable.

GARNET (red).  I love this stone.  I bought my first one for a ring when I was about 12 and I can't seem to get enough of them.  I use it as a first chakra stone.  It's warm red will brighten any day and does a wonderful job supporting the entire system.  Melody says that the garnet balances and stimuates the development of the kundalini,

HEMATITE is very grounding and stabilizing. It helps those whose awareness is always in their head, or those who are overly emotional, to be better balanced. Too much hematite tends to inhibit all change.

LEOPARDSKIN JASPER helps to balance the physical body's energies by focusing primarily on the regulatory organs of the body (the heart, brain, and glands) and bringing them into harmony. It assists the body in meeting its needs by attracting that which is good for it and repelling that which is not. It becomes more personalized the longer it is worn.

PETRIFIED WOOD The long hardening process turns this into a composite of jasper, agate and
other minerals. Therefore, it is a vitality and disease protection stone. Its principal characteristic is
great age and solidified change and in addition it helps one with past life recall during meditation.

PIPESTONE (Catalinite): This prized red stone is still found in layers deep in a few select quarries
where the Native Americans came from widespread areas to find it. Considered sacred as legends
said it was from the flesh and blood of their ancestors. When made into pipes and other special
ornaments it was used to sanctify and solemnize all significant events. It's general use for pipes by
many diverse tribes speaks highly of the earth - spirit (fire) connection it provides.

PIETERSITE

PYRITE The ancients used this mineral as a fire starter and as a mirror. It seems to stimulate the entire cardiovascular system and a particular impact on the throat area hints at its assistance with communication and a friendly exchange of words. A natural symbolic connection with the sun.

RHODOCROSITE is an orangish pink stone often containing white banding. The highest quality is translucent with minimal amounts of white. This stone is a pattern breaker. It identifies outmoded or destructive emotional patterns, breaks them up, cleans out what is not necessary, and rebuilds. It can sometimes be too intense for certain people.

RHODONITE helps to draw the pink ray (the ray of the emotions) to the planet. It assists the wearer to sooth emotions and create a stable emotional foundation by highlighting unfinished experiences and allowing them to be resolved. If worn over time it will help the wearer to accomplish a total restructuring of the emotions and the manner in which they are expressed. It can also be used as a love stone to ground any relationship into the physical here and now.  Use it when you're involved with the "dance-away lover" or in a relationship when there's two much air between the two of you.

RUBY is a precious stone (varying from light to deep red) whose mission is to carry the red ray for the planet. It teaches humans about emotional mastery and divine love. It has the ability to dissolve emotional congestion. Ruby accesses the body primarily through the heart chakra but can strengthen and support all chakras.

SUNSTONE can be used to clear and energize the chakras.  It's a wonderful stone to use to remove any residual "stuff" left over after removing unwanted chakra cords.  It can be used to dissipate fearfulness, to alleviate stress, and to increase vitality.  About 20 years ago this stone was fairly common.  I got my first piece when it was sold to me as "gold coral".

TIGEREYE QUARTZ is a golden brown stone that gives the appearance of translucency. The presence of iron in the stone gives it a grounding effect while its luminous quality allows it to feel expansive and uplifting. Its main focus is the physical body. It balances, soothes, and quiets, allowing the wearer to better hear the body's voice.
