Minerals and You

Well, I should take a pic to show y'all. It may not even be a meteorite, I could be wrong - but I have looked up pics of meteorites online, and it looks similar. Mine is about 2 3/4". It's got lots of holes in it, some larger, some smaller, looks like a piece of swiss cheese. It's greyish in color. I've been collecting stones, coral, seashells for years...it looks nothing like anything else I have found.

I'm very found of amethystes, lapis lazuli, hematite and black tourmaline. These rocks seem to calm me down when I need the most.

The necklace.

That was a nice pice

Wow, that's really nice!!!

I have recently been working with clear quartz, focusing on that crystal for a while now. It seems to be much easier to wield than amethyst. Does anyone know why this is?

I am not sure why, but I have noticed the same. Amethyst is amazing and soothing, but far harder to master and control when it comes to manipulate and amplify its energy.

It is also hard, with amethyst, to meditate properly and use it to heal yourself. But with clear quartz is extremely simple once you get the hang of it. Amethyst seems to be so very complex in terms of energy. No wonder why Asetians love it.

I love my amethysts, I have a few thumb sized clusters. I find I'm drawn to labradorite most of the time, as well as moonstone. Recently I bought a large piece of obsidian and it looks perfect for a scrying mirror. I never scryed with obsidian before, so I'll update you if you want to know how it went.

I have a cherished piece of moldavite with a certificate of authenticity (thank the gods), and a tekitie which kinda looks like a crow skull. Hmmm.... I need to invest in more grounding stones. I have two ammonite stones that do the trick but a little more would hurt. I've noticed some stones work better with others, like people.

I get excellent results with obsidian, although I use a large sphere instead of a mirror but the applications are similar. It's also an ideal choice as a chthonic gateway.

Nice, I see this thread is revived.

I wonder where Aghrab ever went.

My favorite mineral is the obvious amethyst, but I also work very well with clear quartz. For some reason, that calls to me quite strongly. I am also a huge fan of hematite and enjoy working with my large sphere of it. Sometimes it gives me headaches though, if I am not careful. Garnet has also become a recent favorite, one that I resonate with deeply.

Obsidian, amethyst and selenite. Those are the ones I work with most at the moment, but maybe not at the same time, though, as I feel they have rather conflicting frequencies when taken together all at once. But they are good for cleansing and purification, I think, at least obsidian, in terms of promoting and facilitating shadow work, and sucking out negative energies, and selenite for cleansing other energies like a nearly infinite battery that doesn't often seem to need to be recharged, and amethyst for transmutation of energies or their transformation into a higher shape. That said, I don't use crystals a whole lot, though, but at certain times I do. They come in handy in energy work, however, as stabilizers of a certain energy frequency, different as it may be depending upon crystal, as I was recommended by a friend some time ago. I don't know why I've neglected their use for so long... maybe because I was hesitant about using outside technologies for my own work, like a weakness of relying upon that instead and diminishing your own reliance upon internal power, but now I see no issue with it. Humans have used technology throughout the ages and that's one big part of what characterizes humanity as well, so if physically, why not spiritually too? If my same reasoning about spirituality would be extrapolated to physical matters, humanity would never have even entered the stone age in theory... but I don't know if that holds for a sufficient comparison at all...
