Massive,
Dark smokey quartz crystals also work extremely well for pulling negative energy. That's one reason I love my Grandmother Skull so much. She isn't real dark, but she is dark enough and she has an occlusion behind one eye. When you look into that eye you can see a rainbow. Its really cool to see the rainbow, but she does squick some folks out.

She and I do hunting work, we go after the "bad guys" so to speak. She is not the soft gentle little round grandma who gives you cake and smiles. She is the kind of grandma with teeth and claws and is not afraid to use them.

Sorry to say I don't. It took me five years to be able to afford to get her.

Soft*Silver · 07-31-2010, 11:42 PM

twas said tongue in cheek. My things come to me as I need them. I cannot go out and buy nor can I ask another to provide. They hold the magic that draws us together...

Great thread.. I have been lurking in here quietly and just wanted to thank you all for sharing.. I have been keeping a few of my stones close.. Tiger's Eye, Snow Flake Obsidion, Amythist, and a quartz crystal to bind and direct them..

I've also stuck a few stones under the register at work.. lol.. Now there are lil notes and stuff under there to bring in positive energy and money.. Funny how well my co-workers took to the stones. I do have to replace them pretty regular.. I grew lax and left them in there for a couple of months and when I touched them my hand cramped up there was so much icky on them.. lol

Thank you all again

-Tony

the pain in my body is relentless. And everywhere. I feel like what I had in me has been drained out of me and thats why I am in so much pain. My body mourns...it really is time for me to kick up my stone work...

I have chunks of amythest on my alter, which is in my greenhouse. I also have chunks of citrine too. I am extremely drawn to cordelian. Amber is that which calls me to it so it can do its work thru me. I have my clear crystals on my alter and one I wear with my goddess. I wear hematite much. I cannot have obsidian around me for it acts like a conduit for that elephant god. (the name is not coming to me this late at night but I believe it starts with a G) I have given rose quartz to people who have lost loves in their lives..it is a gentle healing stone.

And that's why I call a certain Lady Grandmother Death.

Good call on the smoky. I have a piece that was found in the Rocky Mountains on land where many pagan festivals were held. I treasure it.

thank you, Miss Scarlett for taking the time to give me a wonderful introduction to sugilite. And I have saved those sites too, because as I said, I need to renew my knowledge and work with them again. Thank you...

I am now the honored caretaker of several new items:

a pair of Amethyst spheres; each much larger than a tennis ball

Rose Quartz sphere; slightly larger than a golf ball

Black Agate sphere with a beautiful clear quartz "eye"; this sphere is also larger than a tennis ball

Amethyst point and a Quartz point; each about 3"

Clear Quartz Ema Egg

Amethyst Ema Egg

Ema Eggs are river tumbled stones found in the Ema River in Brazil. The outside is kind of frosted and they are cut to expose a beautiful "window" allowing you to view a clear center. They are also called Seer Stones or Window Quartz. http://crystal-cure.com/window-quartz.html

Onyx pyramid -green/tan varigated

Black Onyx cat with gemstone collar and Abalone ears

Blue Quartz slab

Bloodstone slab

a large piece of Lava rock collected in NC

Third Eye Agate http://www.faroutthings.com/xcart/pr...cat=289&page=1

Shiva Lingam stone http://crystal-cure.com/shivalingam.html

3 moonstones

large Selenite tower (uncarved)

another large piece of uncarved Selenite - this lays on its side and is more of a trough shape

about a dozen or so pieces of Tibetan Quartz, including three Enhydros

a geode half that I am 99.99% certain is Blue Chalcedony

From my Dad & stepmother's trip AZ/NM:

about a dozen rocks my Dad collected for me from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon and a small amount (about 2-3 tablespoons) of soil from Monument Valley (collected with permission)

From the last trip to the Old Reed Gold Mine:

White Quartz from outside the mine (it's one of the indicator rocks for gold veins) and several huge pieces of Slate and Quartz from the semi-dry creekbed. I had some gold flakes from panning but gave it to Shelia since she was more interested in than I was - I was interested in the larger, native to the area, rocks in the pans we were told to discard...Noooooooooooooooo!

Once again I did not spend much on the items that were purchased - they just have a way of finding me

I'm heading to Maggie for the holiday. Naturally I will visit my favorite shops there. It will be interesting to see what follows me home.

Thank you, it really is.

Some pink Kunzite and a Rainbow Obsidian sphere adopted me yesterday.

Since I will be in Maggie on Friday I'm going to pay a little visit to the Maggie Valley Rock Shop and the Dish Barn and see who follows me home. If I wasn't going by myself I would hike up on Chambers Mountain - there's a lot of Kyanite up there. I love Kyanite but not nearly as much as I love Jet! I have it everywhere and am patiently (not) waiting for the right piece of Whitby Jet to find me.

the Borealis Meditation podcast is pretty cool - a geology grad? student discussing rocks, minerals, etc - both the sciency and metaphysical aspects.
