HI,

Your site is amazing!!!!  Do you hold classes?  I am new to crystal healing and think I need a little bit of every stone you sell :)......I'm not kidding.  This is probably my biggest problem.  I am scattered.  I just went back to work after being gone for 5 years (I am a pharmacist...lots of new stuff to learn and old stuff to review.....so much to retain) and I have just rediscovered my spiritual self.  More "lots to learn".  I find everything so exciting, I can't get enough.

I need a stone to help me slow down and focus on one thing at a time and retain the information I am learning/relearning.  I also think I need some clarity.

Can you help?

Thank you

Dear Karen~

Wow! That's quite a compliment.  Thank you! Well, if you're looking for a variety, you might consider an assortment of some kind.  Perhaps one of our Chakra Assortments might be a good fit for you.  We have a nice selection of those here:

It is common for those rediscovering themselves spiritually to find themselves scattered and lacking focus.  This is a natural part of the process.  However, if you feel like you've been scattered long enough, please consider doing some serious meditation.  Meditation has been quite beneficial for me, especially during periods when I am learning something new. I enjoy chakra meditations, often with stones, as well as void meditations.  Along with specific stones for the chakras, Clear Quartz is instrumental when doing deep meditative work.  Clear Quartz is great for helping to achieve the state of mind conducive to meditation, and is known as "the stone of power".  Clear Quartz is a great stone for chakra work, as it can infuse any chakra with higher vibrational energies.  Its ability to focus and amplify energy makes Clear Quartz helpful for just about any metaphysical uses, including body layouts and energy grids.  We have a large selection of Clear Quartz on this page:

One crystal that I feel would be helpful for you as a student is Calcite.  There are many different kinds of Calcite, almost one color per chakra, but they all have certain thing in common.  Calcite is known as the stone of the mind, and is great for all types of students.  Given the fact that you are undergoing both intellectual and spiritual education, Optical Calcite would be the most helpful for you in your studies.  Calcite is known as THE stone for academics, and is said to bring clarity and help students retain their lessons.  Optical Calcite is known to clear away energy blockages, creating a better flow through the chakras which will make absorbing new knowledge a little easier.  Clearing and activating all of the chakras, Optical Calcite improves the flow of energy through the nadis and subtle energy bodies, which in turn will enhance the strength of the aura.  Like Clear Quartz, Optical Calcite carries the valuable property of being able to amplify and focus ones intent, making Optical Calcite excellent for working with Law of Attraction and manifestation grids.  We carry some very clear Optical Calcite on this page:

Another crystal I want to recommend for you is highly spiritual Amethyst.  No one on a spiritual journey should be without this crystal.  Amethyst is known to work with the Third-Eye and Crown Chakras, and is believed to draw in Divine energy through these chakras.  Powerful and protective Amethyst can transmute negative energies and form a type of shell of protective energy around the aura when necessary.  Meditating with Amethyst can assist one in opening up any latent psychic abilities, although it may take some time of Third-Eye meditations, before you begin to notice these kinds of results.  At any rate, Amethyst definitely encourages development of the intuition which can be important in your process of learning and discerning new information.  We have a nice selection of Amethyst here:

Finally, a crystal that I believe would be a great support for you in your studies is Celestite.  Celestite has been called a "teacher for the new age", and is believed to connect to the higher realms of Divine energy.  Celestite actually works with the Throat, Third-Eye, and Crown Chakras, and can clear away energy blockages in and between these areas, bringing improved clarity and understanding.  Celestite provides balance and alignment in the subtle energy bodies and as such, it often inspires peace and harmony within the user.  Celestite is great for those who are searching for enlightenment. Celestite is often used as a stone of good luck, but I find it a great aid for achieving those deeper states of mind needed for productive meditation.  Celestite is fragile and should never be cleansed with water, earth, or salt.  The best way of cleansing Celestite is to use smudging, Reiki, or other energy healing methods.  Keep Celestite out of sunlight as its color will fade.  We carry some Celestite on this page:

I hope this information is helpful to you.  Feel free to send in any other questions you might have.  Good luck on your exciting new journey!


Peace and Blessings,
