the 'post your crystal' thread

[Rake]

Smokey, Selene and Goshy.

Smokey Quartz, Selenite and Goshenite. I'v got a piece of Aragonite on the way which I'm excited about. The reason for the nicknames was basically just to give them that bit of individuality as I'v read you should treat them as entities in their own right.

My girlfriend bought Robert Simmons 'Book of Stones' which is an amazing resource for information on stones. The only problem is I now want to purchase at least ten and the ones that appeal to me always seem to be the rare expensive ones.

Whilst reading the book I came across Azezulite which has a very interesting story and a certain sentence resonated with me deeply but there are some people online who feel that Azezulite is sort of a scam. This is because Robert Simmons has actually trademarked the name of the crystal. I personally feel he did this to protect people from buying stones that where not Azezulite and it wasn't to take ownership of the stone. I really want to get one but they are pretty pricey...
