Abalone Shell   ( Mar 12, 2013 )

The inner lining of an Abalone shell is composed of Nacre, also known as Mother of Pearl, which has beautiful iridescent colors and markings. Abalone Shells are oval shaped with natural imperfections such as grooves, and holes which are respiratory apertures which allows a living Abalone to vent water from its gills. The coloring varies from shell to shell.

Abalone shell enhances expression, in both word and deed. It allows us to understand both sides of any issue by placing us in the other person’s "shoes".

The Abalone shell has been tossed and turned in the ebb and flow of the ocean for many years. Through this process, its true beauty shines through. The Abalone shell is a perfect gift for those who have survived traumatic experiences, to let them know that while they may have been tossed and turned themselves, in the end, their true beauty shines for all to see.

Abalone Shells are a great water element that can be used in the practice of Feng Shui or if you prefer, used as a Smudging bowl to burn Sage. They also make beautiful decorative pieces or a nice catch-all dish for small crystals or jewelry.

Physically, Abalone shell strengthens the immune system, energizes the body and aides in the assimilation of proteins. It can also benefit athletes by increasing strength and stamina.

Agatized Coral   ( Mar 13, 2013 )

Agatized Coral is tan, light cream or light brown, with cream fossilized spots or patterns that resemble flowers or suns. It occurs naturally when silica in ocean water hardens, replacing the limey corals with Agate, a variety of Chalcedony. This long fossilization process (20–30 million years) results in the formation of a "pseudomorph," meaning that one mineral has replaced another without having lost its original form.

"Agatized Coral can be used to support trauma therapy and assists in working through emotional issues from dysfunctional families or relationships. It provides the primary energy toward the activation of the divine nature and infinite perfection which is within the self. Agatized Coral can facilitate the projection of energy to create, to sustain, to change, to modify ..." - Love is in the Earth-Kaleidoscopic Pictorial, Supplement A by Melody.

Fiction writers can benefit from Agatized Coral as it enhances the imagination without hindering the integrity of the story.

Amber   ( Mar 13, 2013 )

A powerful yet gentle healer and cleanser, Amber draws out and transmutes negative energy of all kinds on all levels. Amber aids in physical self-healing, emotional healing of depression, and environmental clearing. Amber opens and cleanses all of the Chakras.

Highly protective, Amber also aids in the manifestation of ideas to reality.

The life force trapped within Amber promotes fertility, and its protective and environmental clearing properties make it a good stone to use to prepare a healing or birthing room.

Use Amber with the Solar Plexus Chakra to increase confidence, mental clarity, and creative self-expression.

Physically, Amber helps with the organs of elimination, including the liver, kidneys, bladder, and stomach. Also a stone of the Throat Chakra, Amber can help with laryngitis and goiter.

In very simple terms, in order to qualify a piece of resin as true Amber, a couple of things need to have happened. First, the molecules must have formed a polymer (a compound where two or more molecules have joined together) and secondly, the specimen must be at least 100,000 years old. Copal or Copalite is the term given to organic resins that are not old enough (i.e. younger than 100,000 years) to have fossilized and hardened sufficiently to become Amber.

Amber is often imitated by plastics, colored glasses and some modern tree resins. True Ambers have a low specific gravity (amber can float on salt water) and inclusions can distinguish it from plastics and glasses.

In Africa, Copal is found in the coastal countries of East and West Africa, but especially on Madagascar. This so-called Madagascar Amber is solidified resin of the Amber Pine but is only 1,000 - 10,000 years old. Most Amber from Columbia is less than 250 years old and in fact is not Amber at all, but the softer, younger version called Copal.

In summary, here are a few facts about Amber and Copal:

  • Amber is defined by geologists as fossilized tree resin (not tree sap). Sap is the fluid that circulates through a plant's vascular system. Sap to a tree, is like blood flowing through the veins of you or me. Resin, on the other hand, is a semi-solid amorphous (no crystal structure) organic substance that is secreted in pockets and canals through epithelial cells of the plant. It's the really sticky stuff that after time will fossilize and harden.
  • Hardened tree resin that is less than 100,000 years old is called Copal.
  • Copal becomes Amber when it has finished fossilizing.
  • Copal can "craze" or crack on the surface as the volatile oils (or turpenes) evaporate.
  • Copal will dissolve in acetone, but Amber will not.
  • Copal from Madagascar and Columbia are 250 to 10,000 years old
  • Amber from the Baltics and the Dominican Republic are 25 to 40 million years old.

Amber (Honey) Calcite   ( Mar 11, 2013 )

Amethyst Cacoxenite   ( Mar 13, 2013 )

Amethyst Cacoxenite (what we refer to as "Sacred Seven") was first described around 1825, is said to be a combination of seven different mineral varieties: Amethyst, Clear Quartz, Smokey Quartz, Rutile, Goethite, Lepidocrocite, Cacoxenite. Sometimes there are inclusions of Hematite as well. It is only found from Espirito Santo, Brazil  and isn't found in points.

("Super Seven" as trademarked by Melody who discovered this stone, is also called "Sacred Seven" or "Melody's Stone". We respect Melody's trademark and that is why we refer to this stone as Amethyst Cacoxenite. To be technically correct, Amethyst Cacoxenite is a light to dark purple crystal with golden brown thread-like markings of Cacoxenite throughout.)

Amethyst protects and soothes; Smokey Quartz is grounding; Clear Quartz and Rutile amplify energy; Goethite aids in communication as well as clairaudience; Lepidocrocite clears thought processes to allow for knowledge input; Cacoxenite generates new ideas while allowing you to see the positive.

Ammonite   ( Mar 13, 2013 )

"Ammolites" are Ammonite fossils predominately found in Madagascar and Alberta (Canada) that display iridescence by compression and mineralization of the Ammonite fossil. These iridescent Ammonites are often of gem quality when polished. In no case would this iridescence have been visible during the animal's life; additional shell layers covered it.

The spiral shape of these fossilized creatures symbolizes continual change and evolution. The Ammonite draws off all negative energies. Think of the Ammonite spirals as a filter, drawing in these dense energies which are no longer needed, moving them through the spirals and releasing them as fresh, positive, loving life force energies.

The Ammonite is a very powerful earth healing fossil. Ammonites have absorbed cosmic energy over eons of time and help to stimulate the life force (Chi) within.

Ammonites are often used for activating Kundalini and life path energies.

It is often recommended to keep an Ammonite in your home to attract health, prosperity and success.

Physically, Ammonites can help to increase stamina and vitality. Use Ammonites when working with issues of blood pressure or problems with the ears, lungs and degenerative disorders. Ammonites will also help to lift the heaviness that is sometimes felt during depression

Amphibole (Angel) Phantom Quartz   ( Sep 04, 2013 )

Amphibole Phantom Quartz is also known as Angel Phantom Quartz because the inner “phantom” appears to resemble the wispy wings of an angel. A Phantom (read more about Phantoms here) is a crystal or mineral deposit within a crystal. Phantoms are formed when the growth of a crystal has been interrupted and then begins to grow again. While the color of Phantoms will vary from crystal to crystal, depending upon the type of mineral of which they are made, Amphibole Phantoms often contain inclusions of (yellow) Limonite, (red) Hematite, (white) Kaolinite, or (pink) Lithium. Often, the original mineral gets washed away, leaving only the Quartz to grow afterwards.

The addition of the Angel Phantom Quartz inclusions offer added benefits - the grounding of Hematite, the protection against psychic attack of Limonite, and the intuition-building of Kaolinite - combining to form a crystal that is a must in order to be a step closer to Universal love.

Angel Phantom Quartz is an excellent crystal to use with the Third Eye and Crown Chakras, as it enables you to gain a stronger connection to the Angelic realm as well as communication with your own Guardian Angel.

This protective, high vibration stone increases our awareness of the spiritual realm, past-life recall and lucid dreaming.

A bringer of intense love, beauty and joy, Angel Phantom Quartz is invaluable in the home, especially when you surround it with other Angelic crystals such as Seraphinite, Angelite and Celestite.

It will enable you to see your best inner strengths and increase your self-empowerment.

Keep an Angel Phantom Quartz crystal in your pocket, in your home, or in the workplace to know that your angels are always nearby.

Angelite (Anhydrite)   ( Mar 13, 2013 )

As its name suggests, Angelite (also called Anhydrite) has a connection to the higher realms, facilitating angelic communication. There is some disagreement about Anhydrite versus Angelite in the metaphysical crystal community. Some see them as the same stone, while others see one as being related to the other. It is most commonly believed that Angelite is a form of Anhydrite that is only found in Peru and thus has deeper blue color to it. It is important to note that both Anhydrite and Angelite are made up of Calcium Sulfate so they are essentially the same mineral.

It is a very soothing, peaceful, and uplifting stone, quite helpful during times of transition.

Angelite (Anhydrite) is one of a group of higher vibrational crystals that can assist in smoothing the way for vibrational shifts, awareness and ascension. Others in the group include: Morganite, Danburite, Kunzite, Selenite, Phenacite, Petalite and Celestite.

Angelite works to clear the Throat, Third Eye, and Crown Chakras, and sends energy to the Soul Star chakra that lies 6 inches above the head. The higher vibrations sent to these Chakras allows for greater spiritual growth, enhanced intuition, and clearer communication. Angelite’s ability to unblock the upper chakras clears the area to allow for the influx of higher vibrational information coming into the auric field, to be processed by the lower chakras.

Angelite (Anhydrite) can be used during meditation to enhance the meditative state, and to clarify issues in one's current situations as they arise. By depositing inspiration from guides, guardians and/or angels into the chakras, Angelite allows them to be integrated into the whole, even after one is done working with the stone.

Physically, Angelite can work with the Throat Chakra to treat any ailments there, such as throat cancer, swollen glands, and strep throat. Angelite/Anhydrite can also heal issues of the bones and joints, and provides an overall strengthening of these systems via more efficient calcium absorption through the blood.

Antigorite   ( Feb 04, 2013 )

Antigorite is a variety of the Serpentine group of minerals.

Because of its affinity with the Heart Chakra, Antigorite can release emotional blockages and their resulting negative energy, thus allowing you to get away from people, things and habits which no longer serve you, but also keep you from advancing in your life.

Antigorite allows creativity to flow and intuition to bloom. It can enhance our ability to tell a fraud when we see it and gives the final push to move past the lies and begin to make positive changes in our lives – a new start, so to speak.

Physically, Antigorite detoxifies the body, increases cellular regeneration and aides in the healing of a misaligned spine.

Apache Tears   ( Mar 21, 2013 )

Apache Tears are a type of Obsidian, which appear rough and opaque at first glance, but are often translucent when held up to a light source (try it! It's pretty cool!) Apache Tears are created when hot lava is forced directly into the air and quickly solidifies before hitting the ground.

Apache Tears received their name because it is said that grieving Apache women, who lost their loved ones in a raid, cried for a month and their tears fell to the ground, becoming a form of Black Obsidian. This is why Apache Tears will often protect the wearer from grief and sorrow. The Apache Tears will absorb the grief and release old hurts, and lifting the spirit. They allow you to forgive others without being bitter. 

They have an uncanny ability to lend support during times of sorrow and because of this, many people turn to Apache Tears during times of grieving. They gently help you to accept and then release your grief, thereby releasing and removing blockages.

Made from the fire energy deep within the Earth, this mineral is wonderful at grounding energies into the Earth before, during and after energy work. In addition, they help to ground spiritual experiences into the physical, helping you to integrate these experiences into your everyday life. This grounding energy can also help you to realize the importance of all frequencies, and to not limit yourself to only the higher energies of this existence.

Apache Tears helps you to see into the core of an issue to assist with deep healing.

Apache Tears can help to relieve stress by bringing opportunities for positive change into your sights so that you can formulate a plan of action. This can bring a sense of hope to a dire circumstance.

Logical thinking skills can be enhanced by Apache Tears, which can lead to new doors opening for success.

Some work with Apache Tears to facilitate spontaneity in many different areas in life.

Carry an Apache Tear in your pocket as protection from all types of negative energies, including psychic attacks. The Apache Tear will help to remove and transmute these energies, clearing the way for more positive vibrations.

Physically, Apache Tears are often used for the calming of muscle spasms, detoxification of the body, and absorption of vitamins. They can also enhance the immune system and fortify the body.

Meditating with an Apophyllite cannot only enhance one's psychic visions and clairvoyance, but also promote structure and organization in daily life.

The yellow coloring is due to the presence of sulfur, which is toxic, as is arsenic, so care should be taken - always wash your hands after handling. Read more about toxic stones here.

Bumble Bee Jasper activates the Sacral and Solar Plexus chakras, enabling you to accept change, find new opportunities, increase your self-esteem and make decisions without relying on emotions.

Champagne Aura (Smokey Aura) Quartz   ( Apr 16, 2013 )

Champagne Aura is sometimes called Smokey Aura. It is created when Clear Quartz crystals are super-heated in a vacuum chamber and infused with vaporized Gold & Indium. Champagne Aura and Indigo Aura both contain Gold and Indium, however, due to a slightly different process, a different color and vibration is created. The precious metals condense onto the surface of the quartz crystal to form a permanent bond with the lattice of the quartz.  By combining the vibrations of Quartz with Gold and Indium, a synthesis of unique vibrations is created.

Citrine   ( Mar 13, 2013 )

There are two types of Citrine on the market:

The first, most common variety is heat-treated in order to obtain a bright golden yellow, orange or brown color. Heat-treated or "enhanced" Citrine is a very popular and useful stone. The intensity of the color brings an additional intensity to the stone itself. For more information on heated, treated and man-made crystals, see this article: Heated, Treated and Man-Made Crystals

The second type of Citrine is natural Citrine. This Citrine has not been enhanced in any way; in fact, it is the same color as it was coming out of the mine. Natural Citrine, which has a pale, golden to smoky color, is not as abundant as its "enhanced" counterpart. Natural Citrine provides for powerful healing on many different levels and carries a cleaner, smoother vibration.

Sunny Citrine has a joyful vibration that transmits outward to those nearby, making it ideal for any setting. Working with Citrine can help one to overcome depression, release anger, and learn effective communication skills. Citrine can activate one's imagination, bringing more creative visions to a clearer mind. It can enhance one's optimism in any situation, bringing a more positive outlook into the conscious and subconscious mind, which allows one to step into the flow of things with better results.  Citrine is often credited with attracting synchronicity by opening the mind to new ideas, discerning which are most likely to succeed, allowing those to develop, and following through with them to their happy conclusion.

Powered by the Sun, Citrine warms, cleanses, and energizes. Highly protective, Citrine makes a great tool for transmuting negative energy. Citrine heightens self-discipline, attracting professional success and wealth. Most often associated with the Solar Plexus Chakra, Citrine can also be used to cleanse all Chakras. Citrine will help support the energy of a family environment at work or at home.

Physically, Citrine can support and enhance healing for the spine, the digestive and elimination organs, and the metabolism. Citrine can facilitate detoxification and stimulate circulation. Often used for chronic fatigue, Citrine has a reputation of being able to increase energy and drive. This property can also help those who are trying to lose weight, by encouraging one to be optimistic about achieving their goals.

Please Note: Although Citrine may not need clearing/cleansing as often as most crystals, we suggest clearing your Citrine as often as is needed, based on:

  1. The amount of use it gets (how hard your crystal is working for you) and
  2. The amount of energy that your crystal has been exposed to over a period of time.

When clearing your crystals, always make sure that your intent is clearly stated, so the crystal knows that it is being given some time off and needs to recharge itself. For more information see this article: How to Clear/Clean Any of Your Crystals.

Copal   ( Mar 13, 2013 )

Copal unites the energizing force of the sun with the grounding, transmutive properties of earth. A powerful yet gentle healer and cleanser, Copal draws out and transmutes negative energy of all kinds on all levels. Copal aids in physical self-healing, emotional healing of depression, and environmental clearing.

Copal opens and cleanses all of the chakras. Highly protective, Copal also aids in the manifestation of ideas to reality. The life force trapped within Copal promotes fertility, and its protective and environmental clearing properties make it a good stone to use to prepare a healing or birthing room.

Use Copal with the Solar Plexus Chakra to increase confidence, mental clarity, and creative self expression.

In very simple terms, in order to qualify a piece of resin as true Amber, a couple of things need to have happened. First, the molecules must have formed a polymer (a compound where two or more molecules have joined together) and secondly, the specimen must be at least 100,000 years old. Copal or Copalite is the term given to organic resins that are not old enough (i.e. younger than 100,000 years) to have fossilized and hardened sufficiently to become Amber.

In Africa, Copal is found in the coastal countries of East and West Africa, but especially on Madagascar. This so-called Madagascar Amber is solidified resin of the Amber Pine but is only 1,000 - 10,000 years old. Most Amber from Columbia is less than 250 years old and in fact is not Amber at all, but the softer, younger version called Copal.

In summary, here are a few facts about Amber and Copal:

  • Amber is defined by geologists as fossilized tree resin (not tree sap). Sap is the fluid that circulates through a plant's vascular system. Sap to a tree, is like blood flowing through the veins of you or me. Resin, on the other hand, is a semi-solid amorphous (no crystal structure) organic substance that is secreted in pockets and canals through epithelial cells of the plant. It's the really sticky stuff that after time will fossilize and harden.
  • Hardened tree resin that is less than 100,000 years old is called Copal.
  • Copal becomes Amber when it has finished fossilizing.
  • Copal can "craze" or crack on the surface as the volatile oils (or turpenes) evaporate.
  • Copal will dissolve in acetone, but Amber will not.
  • Copal from Madagascar and Columbia are 250 to 10,000 years old
  • Amber from the Baltics and the Dominican Republic are 25 to 40 million years old.

Copper   ( Mar 13, 2013 )

Copper is a great conductor of energy and is useful for all types of spiritual purposes.

In healing, Copper works to bring those higher energies into every cell for the remembering of the original state of perfection.

Physically, Copper supports the tissues and red blood cells. It is commonly known that Copper has been used in bracelets to help those with Arthritis and Bursitis.

Enhydro   ( Mar 17, 2013 )

The Enhydro is a Quartz crystal with a pocket of fluid, carbon or gas within the crystal itself. The fluid can be very old and more than likely very pure. Any members of the Quartz family, Amethyst, Citrine, Rock Crystal, Rose Quartz or Smoky Quartz, can display an Enhydro. Elestial Crystals most often are the type of crystal that will house an Enhydro.

The Enhydro will assist one in recognizing and/or understanding the true feelings of another, supporting the empathetic nature. It contains a life sustaining energy, assisting in healing in many ways. This makes them an excellent tool for relationship work. Utilize this crystal to enhance empathy towards another, enabling the knowledge of the other person's perspective, and helping progress to occur in the relationship. 

Since water is the element that is symbolic of emotions, working with the Enhydro Crystal can help one to achieve significant growth in this area. When doing any emotional work, it is important to understand that emotions can be a guidance system to help us navigate through our lives into a desired direction. When emotions are particularly unpleasant, one must recognize them to be a sign that we are on the wrong track, and make adjustments accordingly.  

Revelations discovered by Masaru Emoto in his work with the crystallization of water during the freezing process can be a good basis of study when working with the Enhydro Crystal. It is by the same notion that water is affected by energy, that crystals are and thus the Enhydro can double the amplification provided by the Quartz alone. This, combined with the information in the previous paragraph, makes the Enhydro an ideal crystal for manifestation work.

For best effect, place it directly on the Third-Eye Chakra during meditation.

Green Kyanite is often used to make contact with the nature spirits, and is great to take along on hikes or camping trips. Plant lovers place Green Kyanite into the soil of a potted plant to improve growth and stamina.

Kyanite transmits and amplifies high-frequency energies, making it a great stone for attunements and meditation. Kyanite brings a calming, tranquilizing energy to the body. Kyanite clears and calms you in preparation for meditation, and assists in receiving intuitive and psychic thoughts, as well as dream recall. Kyanite restores Qi (or Ki) to the physical body, and balances yin/yang energies.

Please Note: Although Kyanite may not need clearing/cleansing as often as most crystals, we suggest clearing your Kyanite as often as is needed, based on:

  1. The amount of use it gets (how hard your crystal is working for you) and
  2. The amount of energy that your crystal has been exposed to over a period of time.

When clearing your crystals, always make sure that your intent is clearly stated, so the crystal knows that it is being given some time off and needs to recharge itself. For more information see this article: How to Clear/Clean Any of Your Crystals.

Indigo Aura (Tanzan Aura) Quartz   ( Apr 16, 2013 )

Indigo Aura, also called Tanzan Aura or Tanzine Aura, is similar to Tanzanite in its metaphysical properties. A high vibrational stone, Indigo Aura works well with the Throat, Third Eye, and Crown Chakras, and helps you to communicate any psychic visions or dreams you might experience with this stone. A spiritual stone, Indigo Aura Quartz is helpful in recognizing the Christ consciousness within. Indigo Aura Quartz aids in communications with the spiritual realms (guides, angels, guardians) and can be used to access information from the Hall of Records. The Gold and Indium in Indigo Aura allows one to significantly raise their vibrations, allowing them to release negativity. Carrying Indigo Aura (Tanzan Aura) Quartz in your pocket can help when encountering situations loaded with negative vibrations.

Indigo Aura (Tanzan Aura) is created when Clear Quartz crystals are super-heated in a vacuum and infused with vaporized Gold & Indium. Indigo Aura and Champagne Aura both contain Gold and Indium, however, due to a slightly different process, a different color and vibration is created. The precious metals condense onto the surface of the quartz crystal to form a permanent bond with the lattice of the quartz. By combining the vibrations of Quartz with Gold and Indium, a synthesis of unique vibrations is created. Indigo Aura (Tanzan Aura) is wonderful for meditation and healing work.

Editor’s Note: We feel that lab enhanced stones can be effective for transmitting healing energy. Heat treating or enhancing a crystal in a lab does change the vibration, but it does not eliminate or reduce the potential healing effect.

It comes in a variety of colors, the most famous of which is a semi-transparent, emerald-green jadeite known as “Imperial Jade”. Jadeite is also found in green (light apple to deep green), lavender, white, pink, red, yellow, black, blue and orange. The majority of this sought-after variety of Jade is found in Myanmar, what was once Burma.

Jadeite is a stone of harmony, bringing cohesiveness to group settings, whether family or business colleagues. It strengthens relationships and helps those recover after loss or separation.

Nephrite is one of the two forms of Jade; the other is Jadeite. Nephrite is a member of the Actinolite-Tremolite group and is a calcium magnesium iron silicate. It is comprised of densely woven, interlocking fibers that make it extremely tough to break, although it is a relatively soft mineral (only 6 - 6.5 on the Mohs scale), and can be easily scratched. Nephrite is more common than its brother, Jadeite, and less expensive. Nephrite Jade has a creamy appearance and a soapy texture. This crystal has a glassy to greasy luster but at times may also present as dull.

One variety of Nephrite Jade is "Inca Jade" which is also green and has pyrite inclusions. Inca Jade is opaque and creamy in appearance, with a soapy feeling texture. It promotes sustainability and longevity, fosters levels of energetic protection, aids with increased feelings of courage. Some of its usage tips include using it for Shamanic journeying and spirit guide connections, working with it to overcome a traumatic childhood and placing it under the pillow for enhanced dreaming.

Another more valuable variety of Nephrite which is white in color is "Mutton Fat" Jade or White Jade.

Like all Jades, Nephrite is an abundance and prosperity stone. It can be kept in a cash register to increase business, or carried/worn to start a new enterprise. Nephrite is also an earth healing crystal and will bring abundance in the garden. It can be placed in and around the home to bring peace and harmony to all who reside there, and when placed near the Heart chakra, encourages unconditional love. A protective stone, Nephrite can be used to prevent accidents and other mishaps.

  1. The amount of use it gets (how hard your crystal is working for you) and
  2. The amount of energy that your crystal has been exposed to over a period of time.

When clearing your crystals, always make sure that your intent is clearly stated, so the crystal knows that it is being given some time off and needs to recharge itself. For more information see this article: How to Clear/Clean Any of Your Crystals.

Lemurian Quartz   ( Apr 16, 2013 )

Considered one of the "Master Crystals", Lemurian Quartz Crystals teach oneness, reminding us that while we are all individuals, we are also connected to each other, and that we are all equal in Spirit.  Lemurian Quartz Crystals help us maintain our connection to Spirit, aiding spiritual evolution, and have been used successfully in dream work. Lemurian Quartz crystals are a wonderful tool to use when clearing and activating the Chakras. An amazing healing crystal, Lemurian Quartz will assist in removing all types of energy blockages. Use a Lemurian Quartz Crystal for healing and meditation work.

Also called “Lemurian Seed Crystals” or "Lemurian Star Seeds",  Lemurian Quartz Crystals were originally found in Brazil.  Metaphysical Legend states that there was once an advanced ancient civilization called Lemuria, similar to Atlantis but more spiritually developed and peaceful.  As the end of their time on Earth was coming to an end, the Lemurians programmed these crystals to teach their messages of oneness and healing - messages that would be revealed when the energy on Earth was ready to receive them.  The Lemurians then planted (or “seeded”) the Lemurian Crystals, encoded with their ancient knowledge and wisdom, to be found centuries later by us.

The legend continues to state that Lemurian Seed Crystals are planted in a grid pattern over the surface of the Earth and beyond, to other stars and dimensions.  When you connect to a Lemurian Crystal and the energy it contains, you are also connecting to this grid of associated energies from the Earth, the stars, and beyond.

Lemurian Crystals have a distinct appearance.  Look carefully at a Lemurian Crystal and you will see horizontal striations or grooves, like “bar codes,” on one or more sides.  Commonly, the sides of a Lemurian Crystal will have alternating striated and smooth faces.  Lemurian Quartz Crystals are often found in the shape of a Laser wand, where the faces at the tip of a Lemurian Crystal are small and gently taper in size from base to tip.

As opposed to Quartz that you program, Lemurian Quartz Crystals are a type of Quartz that you activate.  As you meditate, rub your finger along the “bar codes” on the side of a Lemurian Quartz Crystal to activate and download Lemurian knowledge and connect to the Lemurian energy grid.

NOTE: Natural Pink Lemurians were discovered in one pocket of the same mine in Minas Gerais, Brazil where the Lemurian Star Seed crystals were originally found.  The pale pink coloring is due to a dusting of Hematite during the growth process. This coloring is within the layers of crystal growth.

The "New" Pink Lemurians that are currently available also have a pink to orange pink coating of oxidized Hematite. However, these are more similar to Tangerine Quartz. The Hematite on these can easily be removed and/or may chip or flake off.

Check for the alternating pattern of horizontal striations and smooth sides. If they are present, you have a Lemurian Star Seed.  If the sides are smooth all the way around, what you have is Tangerine Quartz.

As all Kyanite, it consists of multiple layers of very thin, flat crystal blades that resemble the pages of a book or the blades of a fan. It is a fairly new crystal found in Tanzania, and gets its golden orange/brown coloring from inclusions of Manganese.

This is the stone of creativity, whether artists, writers, performers or musicians.

Balancing the Sacral Chakra, Orange Kyanite increases our senses, self-esteem and communication skills, enabling us to use our intuition in our decision-making. It increases creative thinking, sexuality, and clairsentience.

Orange Kyanite instills a sense of child-like joy in all of us, enabling us to put our imaginations to work and then get out there and share our creations with others, without fear of judgment. It guides us in facing challenges head-on, especially those with addictions.

Orange Kyanite eases depression and helps to bring back a sense of optimism and positive-thinking.

Physically, Orange Kyanite assists with overcoming eating disorders; helps with libido and fertility problems; eases disorders of the bladder, digestive system and kidneys.

In general, Kyanite transmits and amplifies high-frequency energies, making it a great stone for attunements and meditation. Kyanite brings a calming, tranquilizing energy to the body. Kyanite clears and calms you in preparation for meditation, and assists in receiving intuitive and psychic thoughts, as well as dream recall. Kyanite restores Qi (or Ki) to the physical body, and balances yin/yang energies.

Although Kyanite may not need clearing/cleansing as often as most crystals, we suggest clearing your Kyanite as often as is needed, based on:

  1. The amount of use it gets (how hard your crystal is working for you) and
  2. The amount of energy that your crystal has been exposed to over a period of time.

When clearing your crystals, always make sure that your intent is clearly stated, so the crystal knows that it is being given some time off and needs to recharge itself. For more information see this article: How to Clear/Clean Any of Your Crystals.

A Phantom is a crystal or mineral deposit within a crystal. While the color of Phantoms will vary from crystal to crystal, depending upon the type of mineral of which they are made, Phantoms look like the “ghost” of a crystal within another crystal. Phantoms are formed when the growth of a crystal has been interrupted and then begins to grow again. Often, the original mineral gets washed away, leaving only the Quartz to grow afterwards.

Quartz Phantoms are symbolic of universal awareness and the many phases of the cycle of life. Phantoms are believed to bring great healing to the Earth by helping to assimilate the past.

You can use Phantoms to facilitate inner growth, and when in need of help in understanding and resolving past issues in your life. Meditating with Phantoms can help one uncover hidden information and repressed memories and bring them to the surface for final resolution and release. This type of self-work can often precipitate great transformation in one’s life.

Clear Quartz Phantoms are excellent for balancing and aligning all the Chakras to the Crown Chakra. Those who are interested in spiritual growth and connection with the higher realms may find Clear Quartz Phantoms particularly helpful since the White Phantoms inside work with the Crown Chakra to integrate the experiences of the higher self into the other Chakras.

While all Phantoms are facilitators for growth, Green Chlorite Phantom Crystals specifically work on self-healing and regeneration, and facilitate detoxification. They help to ground excessive emotions into the Earth, thereby helping the user in achieving a state of balance.

Green Chlorite Phantoms are great for helping one recognize the Earth as a living being, and connecting to Her on a soul-level. Many energy workers use Green Chlorite Phantom Crystals when doing global healing, as well as personal and individual healing. Green Chlorite helps to cleanse the aura and align the chakras, and this characteristic is amplified by the Quartz which houses it.

Amethyst Phantoms are specific to spiritual growth, especially when experiencing a “plateau“. Amethyst Phantoms can inspire one to release the past by putting it into perspective and inspiring personal growth, with lessons learned.

Amethyst Phantoms can be instrumental for those working on past-life issues, and can be great for those who are experiencing blocks that inhibit their intuition. Sometimes these intuitive blocks can be a result of past negative experiences involving psychic abilities, either during childhood or in a previous life. Using an Amethyst Phantom can trigger the release of such blockages while still retaining the knowledge of how and why it occurred.

Rainbow Aura Quartz, or Angel Aura, is a clear crystal, ranging from transparent to opaque, with an iridescent glow. It has a sheer, shiny blend of rainbow coloring with a metallic sheen.

Rainbow Aura is created when Clear Quartz crystals are super-heated in a vacuum and infused with vaporized Silver and Platinum. These precious metals condense onto the surface of the quartz crystal to form a permanent bond with the lattice of the Quartz, so it cannot be scratched off. By combining the vibrations of Quartz with Silver and Platinum, a synthesis of unique vibrations is created.

Rainbow Aura Quartz, also called Angel Aura Quartz or Opal Aura Quartz, cleanses the aura and can facilitate deeper and higher levels of meditation. A peaceful and tranquil stone, Rainbow Aura Quartz is useful for communication with Angels, Spirit Guides, and other Teachers.

Editors Note: We feel that lab enhanced stones can be effective for transmitting healing energy. Heat treating or enhancing a crystal in a lab does change the vibration, but it does not eliminate or reduce the potential healing effect. For more information on heated, treated and man-made crystals, see this article: Heated, Treated and Man-Made Crystals

Silver   ( Apr 17, 2013 )

Identified with enhancing the powers of the moon, delicate Silver is a metal associated with psychism, love, peace and protection. Silver is often used for scrying, for psychic dreams, or to attract money. Many people reportedly use silver as protection during travels. Some use Silver under their pillow or as a necklace to promote psychic dreams.

As Silver relates to the moon, so does it relate to the yin or feminine energies, and can help those who are too aggressive to bring peace into their awareness.

Silver can help to attract money by sending intention into a small piece of Silver and a green candle, placing the Silver beneath it, and then burning the candle while visualizing greater prosperity coming into one’s life.

Silver acts as a "mirror to the soul", allowing one to see deep within the self with absolutely no judgment. Use Silver in tandem with other crystals such as Rose Quartz. While Silver will remove and release negativity from a body or space, the Rose Quartz will fill the void with love and compassion.
