Ahh thank you Faith!! I use this app called Snapseed to brighten up pictures and it really picked up on the nuances of each stone so well. $0.00 well spent on that app I think yellow adventurine is an excellent choice! So far it is actually my favorite energy.. it feels primal, and adoring in a sense? Supposedly the stone is ruled by Aries which essentially says it all right there: Source

Ahh thanks athena ! Well done with the photo and I appreciate the details. I NEED THAT STONE. I love feeling anything within my solar plexus. Usually it's a sluggish SOB. If I took my New Age studies more seriously, I would've remembered sooner that the solar plexus is yellow... ^ So pretty. The camper lighting in my avatar is trying to be that yellow. I had citrine a while back... ...but I couldn't help giving it to my friend. Not sure why. I think her apartment was just not yellow enough. 😅 Oh and I see: "Citrine is an excellent crystal for interpersonal relationships. It smooths family or group problems, and promotes solutions and cohesiveness." So maybe just a good thing to pass around amongst friends.

Ava and athenaI'm a little late to the thread, heh. But I can't help it, I have to share--one of my reasons for being like "Whoa, no I don't need my crown chakra opened!" is that I recently had to schedule a session with my healer due to crown chakra issues. I kept feeling a welling up of energy in my forehead, releasing (after hours of pressure) from my crown chakra, only to start building up again, etc. I was actually having headaches, couldn't focus, etc. I didn't know what was causing it, but she told me that I had been walking around with my crown chakra sort of stuck "open", so I was bringing in the good, the bad, and the ugly without discernment. 😳 She helped me with that, but I was still having some issues after the session. My baby, who has such healing energy, actually reached up, took off my glasses, and placed his hand right on my forehead. Presto, energy righted. Anyway, that's my story. Maybe that's the side effect of selenite, I guess? Opening up the crown chakra without the benefit of knowing how to "turn it off"?

Wow Violets, that's seriously so interesting. I've noticed a lot of Full Moon/New Moon people are deeply receptive to the energetic fields of others, and simply by being themselves, they draw in people in deep need of releasing/cleansing. Absolutely to the native's detriment of course, because one person cannot "do it all" - which is to say heal everyone like some sort of Catholic saint, as it also takes away from their equilibrium. It's awesome that your friend is so in touch with your chakral needs (and mostly importantly, listens to you). You and Faith make motherhood sound so achingly beautiful when you talk about how your children are so in tune with your psychic needs! I hope my mom feels that way about me (questionable ) Ava This is more reinforcement that I need to learn about chakras! Maybe I also love my solar plexus being activated and would also benefit from leaving my crown chakra alone (if this crystal exercise is anything to go by)? More knowledge to absorb courtesy of you guys I am loving that citrine picture. I can almost taste orange juice (or more debaucherously, mimosas) just by looking at it! Seems that you giving the stone away was both in tune with the principal of the stone and with her needs/doubts at all once (she could have internally been doubting her abilities as a friend when suddenly VOILA, a wild apt gift appears!)

I don't know how can you pack so much amazingness in one little post, but you just did, athena. You really captured everything so well and completely! Very "full moon" of you. Wishing everyone a beautiful day! 💜 Be back later!

Well, you guys (ladies), I should have a package tomorrow containing quite a bit of selenite, a small piece of bismuth crystal, and a small meteorite necklace. I'll let you know how they affect me (fingers crossed). In somewhat related news (stones being too strong sometimes), my best friend ( Candyland, although she rarely logs in) had an experience with a stone called moldavite. I guess its energy is very strong, and can facilitate very deep change, but often a bit too quickly for most people's comfort. I won't be getting any moldavite. 😅

I'm so excited about crystals! Thanks for the conversation, everyone. athena, thanks so much for that observation about people with full or new moons in their birth chart. I trust your perceptions. My sister has a new moon in Cancer, and "stimulation overload" helps explain why she just couldn't cope with life in a normal way. It's a shame she never had the knowledge or resources, to learn to buffer this. Violets - Daredevil that I am, now I have moldovite on my shopping list. So curious about its effects. My husband's looking forward to the gem show. He says, "Please go easy, don't spend too much." I interpret that optimistically as, "I'm prepared to spend a lot of money there." That's what he actually means, I'm pretty sure. m2322 When you talked about your crystals encyclopedia, I thought, "I really need one of those!" Yesterday I bought myself a crystal healing book. It seemed like a perfect time for it -- full moon in healing Virgo. And I think that moon was exactly on your natal moon? So it's nice that you helped influence me in that direction. The book makes me very happy, it's laid out so well...quite Virgo. --- Short story: the other day I mentioned how much I love pyrite...I said that I'm planning to buy some this weekend. Pyrite is just...I have no words....does it really come from this planet? Ought to be the birthstone for Aquarius Anyway, my husband laughed a bit and said, "You want pyrite?" and walked out the door. He brought back a big stone that looks like this: My son said, "Wow, where did you get that??!!" "The garage." LOL So now I have a large rock with pyrite crystals as the centerpiece on our kitchen table. From my new book: "This golden stone awakens vitality, enabling you to live your life with more passion and vitality. To increase your passion for work, tape a piece of pyrite to the bottom of your work chair, or keep a piece on your desk."Well I HAVE been a little more busy around the kitchen lately, but I'll give it more time.

I also have to learn how to clean crystals. Is it as easy as rinsing them off and drying them?

Ava yikes, be careful about the moldavite! Granted, my friend has a Libra stellium that was being hit by Uranus and Pluto, but she actually got rid of hers. I can't verify that the stone is purely responsible for upheaval in people's lives, but the way it's described sounds like a hard Pluto transit on overdrive. 😳 So cool that your husband had some pyrite in the garage, and is supportive of your interest in crystals! 💕 My guy is passively supportive about it, with about as much interest in it as I have in his fixation with The Law of One, lol.

I think many people cleanse their stones by placing them outside or in a window during a full moon (or I suppose that's "charging" them, more specifically).
You can run them under water, I often leave them outside in a garden area for a while, my healer sometimes suggests lightning a candle and moving a crystal around the flame, counterclockwise, three times (I have absolutely no idea how that works or why, but then I'm not a shamanic healer, lol).

^ Ah, thank you for answering! I'm glad there are options. Seems like different situations may call for different types of cleansing? "My guy is passively supportive about it, with about as much interest in it as I have in his fixation with The Law of One, lol." Hahaha I need to look into that Law of One stuff. No idea what it is. Violets , okay....but I WILL hand-hug some moldavite the show, see if I feel anything. Let's see... Hmm, for whatever it's worth...my book talks about using moldavite and amber together, one in each hand, as an exercise in "Releasing Negative Energy and Increasing Positive Energy." Hope this is legal to transcribe, to atone for possible violations, I'm plugging Karen Franzier's EXCELLENT 👍 book Crystals for Healing: The Complete Reference Guide, a Barnes & Noble bargain book. Well I've never test-run her advice, but the layout is beautiful, so my Libra Pluto approves. Moldavite sorta LOOKS evil: Especially with long black fingernails 😅 Amber.... 😍

Wow, amber does look beautiful! Moldavite may not be readily available to try out in person, it was apparently formed in one area of Eastern Europe when a meteorite struck. 😳 It does look pretty but otherworldly!

Okay, my package finally came, so I've got the meteorite pendant on, I'm walking around with the bismuth (whose energy I really kind of like, despite the fact that it's a heavy metal and I might not want to sleep with it under my pillow), and I've gingerly handled one of the selenite crystals. I feel like a little kid, lol. Not to mention there was some pure, organic calendula oil in that package, so I can make some diaper ointment and moisturizer.

Violets*meteorite pendant* That is the coolest thing!!! Sadly, very sadly, the recent snowstorm took down the power cables that supplied the building where the gem show was to be held. Thus it's been cancelled. 😞 Do you ladies have any recommendations for internet crystal suppliers? #FeelingGreedy

Ava, I just order from Amazon based on reviews. I honestly can't say for sure that this is a real meteorite, but my cousin found one once, and it looks similar to the one he had. I don't remember where he found it, but as kids he was always digging around looking for arrowheads, so I guess it makes sense...?

A weird thing with the crystals I bought... Quite possibly a coincidence (probably), but still weird? I like the selenite, placed it all around the house, slept with it (near my feet), etc. We've had a mild issue with pavement ants in our house for about a month, and none of the bait traps we've placed have seemed to have any effect. Every night I have to make sure there aren't any crumbs on the counter, and I still find a few here and there, and plenty sporadically around the floor where the kids like to drop their food, despite my attempts to sweep and wipe up. Anyyyway... This morning, I came downstairs assuming there would be some ants mingling around as usual. None on the counter, and only one lone ant on the dining room floor. I looked around to see if they had found another spot to find crumbs, and I still haven't seen any ants. So they either found the bait traps after a month of outright avoiding them, and all died overnight, or they have an aversion to selenite. Sorry, but my obsession with studying insects and arachnids just combined with my obsession with crystals, haha. My brain isn't going to rest on this one until I figure out why all of the ants disappeared overnight. 😂

Wouldn't it be SO GREAT if the selenite drove the ants away!? I almost wish I had ants and selenite, to experiment. Well, come spring...

Post by Violets on Mar 3, 2018 23:45:03 GMT
Right?! I had the bismuth sitting out as well, but it's a very small piece. I've just never seen ants disappear overnight like that... But you know, probably not the crystals, lol. But it was weird timing!

Violets - LOL @ chips I need to get into meditating with crystals, too. (And chips...they are always welcome.) I really want my life to change. As for my kids....thanks for listening <3 Maybe it's my 5H Neptune that puts a little ESP in our everyday life. --- m2322 sent me this photo, she was having trouble posting from her phone.... Beautiful! 😍 Tell us more about these, please? Ava and others interested Returned as promised to explain..a little bit late though, sorry its been really exhausting these days.. The first on top and the left, the "white" one is a clear quartz, which is very strong and can be also used for programming it with a wish/intention. The violet one next to it is amethyst, whivh I imagine you all know. Then moving clockwise the blue purple next to it is sodalite, which is proper for opening the third eye and meditation, has also some healing abilities for the throat and the voice, too. Next to it, the one that has many colors, its jasper ocean, which is a very strong crystal, protecting from anxiety and more importantly giving access to karmic wisdom and astral travels. Then, the little black one which is on the right bottom of the photo it tektitis. Moldavite is actually a kind of tektitis, in green color. Tektitis is a relatively rare crystal with extra terestrial origin. It comes from a meteorite and Its out of this world altogether. Lol. Yet it is used as aiding fertility and of course enhances telepathy and clairvoyance, as well as communicqtion with other dimensions. Then next to that, we have a bigger one, which is dark pink and black. This is rodonite, which brings emotional atability and balance and also nurtures love and brotherhood for all humanity. It cures emotional shock and panic and is also useful for healing cases of abuse and emotional self destruction. Then on the bottom of the photo we have a black and white stone, which is the widely known moonstone. I guess no introductions needed here, lol. Its a stone for new beginnings among other things On the left of the rodonite, as we look at the photo, we have the large yellow and brown stone, which is the also widely known eye of the tiger, for luck, wealth and protection from bad thoughts from others. After that, we see a dark blue stone, this is a petrol achate. I think achatis is also known, but let me know if you need more info. Then we have a fuchsia zebra jasper, which brings love and balance, erases the memories of the past and helps with astral travels and meditation. It activates the crown chakra. Next to that in the centre of he circle we see a purple little stone, this is purple zebra jasper again activating the crown chakra and also used for intelligence, courage, stability etc. Next to that we have a pink stone, which is actually a pink quartz, also commonly used for love. And lastly, we have a fuchsia achate, which brings love, positive energy, power, self knowledge and balances yin and yang. In another post I ll tell you how I got all these stuff lol. A couple of stones are missing in the picture, one of them is malachitis, a stone coming from my country since the ancient age. Hope I helped, since the colors in the photo arent very clear 🤓😲😕
