Some days other stones/crystals may call me but i am firmly attached to quartz.

I'm curious, what cleaning technique do you use? For a quick cleaning, I put the stones in rei ki charged water with rose water, lavender essential oil and salt for a few nights under the moon. I usually place the word "clarity" on the stone. Sometimes someone inside the stone will speak to me and I'll help them out of the stone with all the above but no salt. For a very dirty stone, I bury it under 12 inches of Earth for a month, then repeat the fore mentioned technique.

It depends upon the stone/crystal...my go to, if you will, is sage and incense. But i have used salt, soul, moonlight, sunlight, water or other stones like Selenite. There are some stones that cannot be exposed to water, salt or sunlight without harming the stone or altering it in some way. So you have to be careful. i like your methods too...i'm of the opinion that the biggest part of any cleansing has to do with my heart and intent. That there is no wrong way if those two are pure.

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?
