Rocks, Stones, Gemstones--Metaphysical Purposes

[Miss Scarlett]

I adore my amethysts! I have them all over my office and my house. I even have some in my car. I wear amethyst and opal daily - they are my signature. I have other pieces that I wear - Labradorite, Carnelian, Unakite (love this!), ruby, emerald, diamond (from grandmothers & mother), just to name a few.

In my home I have many other stones. A huge tricolour Fluorite and a huge Goshenite given to me by Shelia (she found it over in Franklin) are currently next to my bed.

Jet is another favorite. It's always the first stone I touch. Just can't seem to get enough of it.

Sedona is a place of comfort and peace for me. I still can remember the beautiful redish/orange in my mind of the mountains. Plus the various plants and such along the pathways. It is calling me back.

I've been using amethysts now to channel my healing powers, but also as protection for the rest of my paranormal investigations team, I'm not sure what else I could use, does anyone have any suggestions?

I'd want to know what you are wanting to protect from, Massive. That would help me make some suggestions.

Off the top of my head, I'd go with rainbow obsidian.

It's mostly protection from negative entities. The group I'm part of are mostly sensitives who are coming into their own, none of us, myself included have discovered their paths, we're all either healers and empaths. We go to many different kinds of haunted environments, with mixed receptions to our presence, sometimes without protection other than that provided by our guides and family members who've passed on. Because we're all in pretty much the early stages of our development, more than anything my main concern is that we don't really know what we need as protection, some of the team have done this kind of investigation before, we're all firm friends, luckily, but I think we need more than just a solid bond of friendship!

Okay. Amethyst is not what I would choose for this. I would make pendants/bracelets (something to be worn in contact with the skin) with the following three stones:

Black Tourmaline
Rainbow Obsidian
Howlite

The howlite is said to help create awareness and positive emotional expression. It is a stress-reducer. My feeling is that it will help you discern from truly negative entities and merely unhappy ones.

Rainbow obsidian because obsidian (while not a stone per se) does help block/ground negativity. Rainbow in particular can assist in exploring otherworldly experiences.

Black tourmaline because it is an excellent reflector of negative energy as well as a good grounding stone. I use it a lot in my stone healing.

Thank you so much Arwen!
