I had a stone awakending that startled me very much last spring. I bought stone chips from Fire Mountain Gems for making jewelry and art, and when I opened the box and picked up various strands, the stones started singing in my heart! My hands were vibrating from it!
One that I connected with was aquamarine (my birthstone, which at the beginning of this thread I said I didn't much care for). It was undyed, completely natural, and NOT blue--it was green like peridot, which is one of my alltime favorites, and I find that I love it a lot. |
Ever since I was young....quartz has drawn me in. As an adult I went to Hot Springs ARK. and mined for crystals. They are a BIG part of my life here in Spain. I will take them home with me the end of this year. I intend on more mining when I come back. If I had only known that NC held such treasures when I lived there. I am learning so much from you all.

I can understand wanting to go to Arkansas to find quartz. One of the (few) things I miss about the desert is that there was quartz everywhere. It really makes the energy different.
Rockybcn, you're coming back to the US this year? |
rockybcn, when it comes to freezing stones as a method of cleansing, i'd have to do that on a case by case basis, just like i would when it comes to passing one through fire. Neither is something i would do with an Enhydro, a fragile cluster or any fragile stone. i'd hate to damage any stone while cleansing it...

My apologies Ms Scarlett.....quartz crystals for freezing. I dont know anything about cleansing the others or their amazing properties! I hope to gather info from all of you as this thread progresses. I love it! Thank you

Lithium Quartz
Today's stone is Lithium Quartz.
Lithium Quartz is a super high energy healing and balancing stone. It is said to be self-clearing and self-cleansing. Lithium quartz sends and receives energy as well as storing it. Lithium quartz is balancing and calming, and is used in crystal healing as a natural anti-depressant. Emotionally and other ways, lithium quartz is said to relieve stress, anxiety, and tension, bringing relaxation and peace.

Physically, lithium quartz is used in crystal and folk healing for stress related disorders, immune system, depression, bipolar disorder, muscular tension, repetitive motion injuries.

Lepidolite
Today's stone is Lepidolite.
Lepidolite is a gentle stone that helps bring about feelings of calmness in a sea of storms. It is a stone that insists on being used for the highest "good". It is extremely useful for reducing stress and depression - halting obsessive thoughts. Lepidolite is considered a stone of transition and it helps you to release the old and embrace the new - often achieving this on your own with no outside help. It also stimulates intellect and analytic qualities and helps to speed up decision making. It focuses on what is important and filters out distractions. This stone is a reassuring stone for those who are new to psychic work or those who have had bad psychic experiences (like dabbling with an ouija board or having a seance when younger and unprepared for the results). It helps to screen out negative energy. It activates and opens the third eye and crown Chakra to clear blockages to bring cosmic awareness, aid in shamanic or spiritual journeys and giving access to the Akashic Records. Lepidolite can help you to tune into thoughts and feelings from other lives that are creating blockages in this life. Every piece of Lepidolite is believed to have its very own keeper - or guardian spirit. It is believed that this stone chooses you - instead of you actually choosing it. This keeper of the stone will guide you in your sleep (if you wish it) to other lands inside of your dream world. http://www.shimmerlings.com/gemstone...te_natural.jpg |
I cannot stay awake in a room with lepidolite. I have a polished piece inside my pillow case. What else it might be able to do I have no idea. Guess I'll have to just take your word for it, since it puts me to sleep so fast!

Ruby
Today's stone is Ruby.
The Ruby is considered to be the most powerful gem in the universe, and is associated with many astral signs. To own a Ruby is said to have contentment and peace. Placed under a pillow the Ruby may ward off bad dreams. Ruby rings should be worn on the left hand so as to receive the life force and have protection. Given as a gift, the Ruby is a symbol of friendship and love. The Ruby is also the symbol of vitality and royalty. The Ruby is filled with love. It also helps sexual love to be more passionate. Persons lacking in self-love should have and mediate on the Ruby. It also gives the courage to be best potential that a person has. Ruby works with the flow of blood as an aid to circulation. It aids the cleansing and removal of infection or germs in the blood. The Ruby may be worn in jewelry, but never close to the solar plexus, as the Ruby has a disquieting effect upon it. In a ring wear it on your left hand. The color of Rubies varies from vermilion to red. The most desired color is "pigeon's blood", which is pure red with a hint of blue. If the color is too pink, the stone is a Pink Sapphire. The same is true if it is too violet - it is a Violet Sapphire. The best Rubies and Star Rubies are bright red. Most Rubies come from Burma and Thailand. Ruby’s domain is the heart. Its greatest effects are on the emotional level of being. It heightens your awareness of divine love and enhances your ability to experience and express it. Ruby illuminates the emotional level of life and reveals the divine love at the core of every molecule in creation. Ruby teaches emotional mastery. Such mastery implies emotional balance, understanding, and the ability to regulate how much emotion you want to exhibit in a given situation. Yet this is not all that Ruby teaches. The emotional mastery Ruby teaches is total awareness of your emotional being. The kind of love Ruby teaches is not human love, for human love implies needs and expectations. People need human love, yet this kind of love alone does not sustain us. We also need divine love. Divine love gives us the freedom to be who we truly are and who we want to be. This freedom nourishes us and our relationships. It gives us space to grow. Ruby’s love implies freedom. It is a noble and powerful love. It turns your attention to that which is greater than yourself. http://www.charmsoflight.com/Images/...0gemstones.jpg |
