the Crystal Knowledge thread

[reeay]

My first 'love' was a shadow quartz, given to me by a friend, and I found comfort in its presence when I did astrology and tarot readings for friends, which at that time I was doing many.

This website is interesting but I don't agree with everything. The author tends to link the color of the crystal to the chakra colors (e.g., yellow ray - citrine, opal, moonstone). http://crystal-cure.com/index.html

I prefer going to a crystal store and 'feeling things out' rather than buying online.

Black Tourmaline is great - it's practical and it's 'easy' to use (protection, grounding etc). I also give this gem out to friends like a stick of gum lol.

Cleansing: bath mine in salt water and leave it in moonlight.

My approach is intuitive - no thinking just picking out one that I'm drawn to and sitting with it. Letting my mind flow from there. When seeking something, I usually get something out of it lol.
