Rocks, Stones, Gemstones--Metaphysical Purposes

Miss Scarlett · 11-28-2010, 09:36 AM

So many new friends followed me home from the mountains:

Unakite - a huge chunk from Mitchell County;
Tibetan Turquoise;
a large Smoky Elestial Quartz;
a huge piece of Sodalite;
Ruby in Zoisite - 2 really good size pieces;
Fuschite - one small piece and one really large;
Ema Eggs - 3 large, 3 small - these are all oblong pillars and have an additional cut so they all stand;
Celestite;
a piece of multicoloured Calcite - brown, red, orange and blue;
13 assorted, small quartz points, including a couple of laser wands, some recordkeepers, singers, bridges and barnacles - many are also empathetic crystals;
a large, about 3-4", Planet Quartz point that is also hematoid and water clear with fractures creating lots of rainbows;
a small Tektite; and
2 small clear quartz clusters

Also, I was gifted with an absolutely beautiful green garnet.

I am going to have such wonderful adventures with these new friends!

i just ran into this thread... while i read most of it i still have to come back to finish... its a great thread...

rocks and gems have always talked to me... i am not learned in any way... i just do what it tells me to do... it being whatever mineral i am connected with at the time...

i recently gave away all of my healing stones... i met someone that needed more than i did... when i was trying to get a feel for what would help her everything i had spoke to me... so i gave my entire collection away...

since then i have replaced a couple of pcs... actually mostly greens... i am really in need of some clears... i feel it... i feel like i need to sit under the moon and recharge myself...

i recently ran into a really neat gift that i have sent as a present to someone that needed what it had... there is a place called dahlonega, ga... it has lots of mines and such... there is a site from near there ( http://www.goldngem.com/index.php ) the place offers bags of dirt that you can sift thru and find all kinds of different gems and rocks... for 45$ delivered you get a great variety in the bag... its huge... prolly 25#s of dirt... and... i am a firm believer in playing in dirt... a friend just turned 40... she got a bag of dirt from me... and ended up with about 20 pcs out of it... and.... from the sound of it loved playing in the dirt again as an adult...

so... anyway... i am rambling...
i just wanted to thank all of you for sharing all this info with us... i hope i can retain some of it... tell me what i should keep around me to do that? what stone will help with my memory retention problems???

ok... enough... thanks again...

I turn 50 in March. This is SO going on my birthday list! What a fabulous idea.

Memory retention would be citrine. Also good for writer's blocks. It's often called the student's stone because it helps you focus.

I go to Western NC..to a gem mine there...I have to look at name of it...they have 5 gal buckets and it is awesome what all you will find there! I have emeralds, rubies (native to that area), quartz, sapphires, rose quartz, moonstone, smoky quartz, clear quartz, garnets, tiger eye, black onyx, tourmaline, amethyst (lots of it in varying shades) to name a few. You can buy the buckets and take with you..along with a screen box ($$). They will cut the stones. My wife & I went 5 months before she passed..and she found eleven stones we had cut. The biggest is a 6.72 ct. sapphire. She has 3 and 4 ct. emeralds...sadly she didn;t get to see them..they arrievd the day she passed away. I have a ruby she found and had cut for me a ring and an emerald I found and had cut for her b day stone.. I have mined in that area for about 30+ years. Cowee Valley....LOVE it. Arwen if you have never gone, do go..I have also mined up in Dahlonega (NW Ga) a few years. I prefer Cowee Valley best...

Allowing yourself to be led by the stones is what I do rather than relying on my eyes. I think we never really own our stones, rather we are merely caretakers. Like you I give mine away when led.

The gift of dirt sounds wonderful! I love having my hands in soil too. When the warm weather returns I plan to go up to Franklin and play in the dirt at the gem mines - the real dirt, not the enriched stuff. Or go back out to the Reid Gold Mine and do some panning. Whether panning or mining you get to play in the water and in the dirt enabling you to connect with most of the elements.

In addition to Citrine for memory you can use Opal or Howlite.

Every time I sleep near an amethyst I have weird lucid dreams. Anyone else ever have that?

How interesting...i know it will help prevent nightmares. Can you elaborate on "wierd"? Have you cleansed it? Try softening its energies with some rose quartz.

The worst experience i've had with anything was with some stibnite. i encountered some last year and absolutely couldn't get it out of my mind...i craved it. At that time the cost of that particular piece was far beyond my budget. But earlier this year i came across some that was within my budget and bought it. Not too long afterward i was overcome by intense negativity. Despite cleansing and the use of sodalite and chlorite (stibnite is a trickster, and toxic, so you have to be very careful with it) it was really freaky. After some conversations with a friend i realised the best thing to do was to remove it from my home and do some serious cleansing and casting.

When i went to bury it i immediately broke out in hives from head to toe. As i was digging the hole i was swarmed with these little gnat things. All cleared after i finished.

i was really obsessed with this mineral...think "Lord of the Rings"...it was my "precious". Today i won't go near the stuff and won't touch anything it has come in contact with when i am in a crystal shop. No, no, no...
