crystals...

Wow, wow, wow what a fantastic topic I so loooovvvveeee crystals and they have a major role in my life. There is no ailment that cannot be healed by a crystal and there is so many of them with a wide therapeutic index all of their own for us to choose from.

I used to suffer with excrutiating monthly cycles until I discovered natural moonstone the brown creamy stone a number of years ago. I think the pain may have been so bad back then that I watched a piece of moonstone break clean in half after I'd taken if off my person following my mini crystal healing session to lessen the pain. I couldn't believe it as I'd only thrown the stone directly onto my bed which is soft.

I also use lapis lazuli regularly if I have to do any kind of public speaking as it lessons my anxiety. I like clear quartz for clarity at work. Amethyst helps me sleep. I carry citrine in my purse so that I am never completely broke. I always wear emerald and love the tree resin that is amber. Praisalite stops me from eating too much junk food. Moldovite makes me spin out a little bit and feel nauseaus so I need to use this crystal in small doses. I love my fossilled wood. My boji stones give me so much strength to get through even the darkest of situations. I'm not great with rose quartz, but that may be because I'm still denying my heart so more work to be done there. Ulexite helps with any eye infection I get and interestingly if you left this crystal in water over night it would disolve. Chinese flourite balances my emotions and the list goes on and on and on.....

But my favourite crystals without a doubt are herkimer diamond and rainbow obsidian.

I'm looking forward to checking out Star's link now. I do have some crystal ally cards that have similar principles as the energy of the crystals has been stored in the cards and you can carry the card in place of the crystal or just meditate on it.

Love, hugs and crytals.

Sweet dreams all.

wow girl you really know your crsytals! i cant wait until i know as much as u do! you'd be the perfect person to get the ethereal crystal attunements. there are 9 attunements in total. whats so amazing about it is that you dont need any physical stones at all. you just call upon them and point or think about the body part or chakra you want to place them and thats it! the crystal will come to that part in ethereal form and stay there for as long as needed. i know its sounds a little wierd but i think it works. its supposed to be much more powerful than real crystals too.

hope u try it!

Ametrine Gemstone meaning


Ametrine is a rare and unusual stone which occurs in quartz when amethyst and citrine reside in the same crystal. Because the color zoning effect is natural, no two ametrines will ever be exactly alike.
*Until very recently, the world's only source of this bicolored natural quartz is the Anahi Mine located in the jungles of Bolivia. It is rumoured that the mines where first discovered by native Indians in the seventeenth century. The Bolivian government declared the land a state reserve and built a fortress near the mine entrance. Despite its remote location, ametrine (as well as natural amethyst and citrine) made its way across the border to Brazil. These goods were then sold as Brazilian products. This caused a change in the government in Bolivia in 1989. The rights to the mine were sold, and during the past decade, these collectible gems became available on the domestic marketplace.
*Miners in the Brazilian state of Bahia are finding small amounts of this combination amethyst/citrine.
Ametrine is among an elite group of gems, because as of now there is just one source of this treasure in the world. You should add an ametrine to your collection now, since its future availability is uncertain at best.
