Crystals and Gemstones


My Crystals

Overview

 

Crystals are one of the most amazing things you will discover and the more you learn about them the more you will want to learn. As you understand them more and how to use and look after them the better the results will be. There are no half measures with crystals. It is an addiction waiting to happen.

 

Crystals have been around for hundreds of thousands of years as they were originally created when the earth was formed. They can be made more effective by programming them and caring and storing them properly. Each crystal is different and should be treated as such. You should treat your crystals with care and cleanse them regularly. This will help eliminate negative energy. Getting to know your crystals and what they can do, will allow you to get the best possible results.

 

Amethyst

 

I have today purchased four Amethyst stones that I plan to usein my flat. These are purple and are a variety of quartz which makes amethyst a very popular gemstone. It is widely available which helps keep the price down as if it were less avaiable the price would be huge. The name comes from the Greeks and means not drunken as as you can probably see it was believed it can ward off the effects felt from alcohol. It can come in a variety of shades but must always be purple to be amethyst.

 

Amethyst often occurs as a prismatic crystal that form a six sided pyramid. As a mineral amethyst is widely popular because of its colour. It does however change from region to region or even from mine to mine. By studying each sample of amethyst scientists can tell what mine it came from in most cases. These new purchases are a great addition to my collection.

 

Agate 

 

Agate is a crystal that can come in a variety of colours. It can be clear, milk white, grey, blue, green, pink or brown. It’s quite a common crystal and can be found in a variety of places around the world such as America, Africa, India and Morocco. This is a grounding stone that can bring great balance. Agate helps understand ones self and builds self confidence. It helps perception of hidden situations which allows you to see things as they truly are. Agate helps you with your concentration which allows you to overcome your problems. It can lead to spiritual growth as well as balance and stability.
