I had only considered the synthetic versions of sapphire and diamond becuz the 'real' items would be WAY OUT of my price range. I sort of leant towards these because Ra mentions rubies and diamonds specifically as being the most powerful and general purpose.
that said, I am still working my way up the chain of crystals; and will defer to those who have had much more experience with these things than I.
The rubies they speak of are NOT the cut and polished kind with only one shade of red, which also cost 10x more for some unknown reason.
Ruby, possibly mixed with kyanite, Zoisite or fuchsite is cheep. (i'd recomend a brown-green-pink-white one)
The more colors you see, the more diverse direct-effects it'll have.
Just make sure that theres enough of each seen color to have full potential effect.
Diamond, 0,3g for 15$... 15$ worth of quartz gives you 150g
I really dont think diamonds are 500x better than quartz... Maybe ~5, as they arent divinely blessed really.
If balance is your thing; I'm currently eyeing the red jasper, have to analyze its potential... if my guess is correct, it'll affect the exact lower back area connected equaly throughout the entire spectrum.
But if you instead want something suuuuuuuuuper ungrounding, get a moldavite, 0,3gram is more than enough.
