Healing Crystals!!!

[Rowan]

I'm a big fan of crystals and their powers. However they're not as a simple as "crystals teh good, they teh heal" - they do different things to energy that we've tried to describe but honestly most of the new age literature on them is absolute crap. Some combinations or using certain stones in certain scenarios can be really bad, I found this out the hard way with hematite - which is still one of my favorites...just used properly.

I'm wearing a purple amethyst and a purple fluorite necklace, although the fluorite has faded quite a lot...I need a new one.

Hematite is one of my personal favs....although it can be very fragile. I have one piece that is roughly heart shaped and it has "followed" me around for over 20 years. It seems to get lost and I can't find it for a while sometimes weeks or longer, then just shows up when I least expect to find it. But considering it's size, less than 2", it would be something easily lost/misplaced in a move or any number of other things. I mean really how many possessions do people have for over 20 years? And this stone keeps hanging around. I almost always wear some and have broken a few pieces but it seems to create a calmness for me that not much else does. I have a few other stones including some 'record keeper' crystals but I really do not know what to do with them.

That is a pretty nice crystal.. Wish I could find some like that around here. The only neat rock I've managed to find in a while was these big shiny rock, that for a moment, I thought had traces of silver in it.. My fiance had it taken to the geology department at the locale university, where they determined it was probably thousand or million year old Schist formed when glaciers were still moving through the area. I forget what the actual time table was, but it was one of the two. Either way here's a pic of it..

Wait, do I seriously have to upload it to an image hosting page instead of doing so directly from my pc?

 Till I get back to that, you should consider selling or.. even better.. giving away some of your excess crystal to the folks here at IS. I know I'd definitely appreciate one. *cough*

I have a pair of quartz crystal earrings that I love, but tend to lose frequently. It must be their power that I always manage to find them, even after one has fallen out of my ear in an odd place.
He probably didn't know what it was, but I also have a necklace with a polished rose quartz that my ex gave me. I don't have as much attachment to it as I do the earrings, but I do seem to be very aware of it when I do wear it. I don't know if that's for sentimental reasons, or because the chain usually gets stuck on my magnetic name tag at work. I had hoped it would affect the love between my ex and I, but it didn't. Maybe he should have been the one in possession of the stone. Anyways... I would feel guilty wearing it now in hopes to attract new love, so I probably won't wear it much unless it would look good with an outfit, and I never wear pink.
