Rocks, Stones, Gemstones--Metaphysical Purposes

[Bit]

We went to an Art Market today (monthly sale upstairs in the art supply store) and met someone who sells crystals. She says she has some Golden Healers and a couple stones Gryph is interested in, so we're going to make an appointment to see what all she has. She does the darnedest thing with wooden boxes; she's made them so that the stones one puts inside get cleansed and recharged. Gryph bought one, plus some small stones including a lodestone. It feels like metal, extremely cold. I've never seen one before.

Lodestone is fabulous and I'm thrilled that one found Gryph. Last year a small one chose me. They an iron ore so, like meteorites and tektites, they do feel cold. That box sounds super cool. Does that person have a website?

No she doesn't, Miss Scarlett, and more's the pity. She says she is the non-techiest person in the world. Mostly she sells at metaphysical shows. We were just lucky that she came to sell at the Art Market.

OK, thanks Cath. Perhaps I'll come across her at one of the shows.

Only if you're in Kansas, hon. I didn't get the feeling that she travels much. I took a picture of the box Gryph got and put it in my gallery so you could see it. I don't think the seller actually built the boxes herself; I think she did charge them though, so that they cleanse and recharge the crystals. The little box was $15; if you want to contact the seller, I'll pm you her information.

Today's stone is Tibetan Black Quartz.

Tibetan Black Quartz is a variety of Quartz (silicon dioxide) that usually, but not always, contains black inclusions and forms as double terminated points. It is found in the Himalaya mountains of Tibet and Nepal.

Tibetan Black Quartz is purification quartz and is used in the preparation of other crystals. It is also used in ceremonies to sanctify a place or person.

Tibetan Black Quartz will draw impurities from substances and from people.

Use it to draw off pain, ugliness, harm, spiritual disease, doubt, envy, or negative energy from other crystals, rooms, altars, or any item that is in need of cleansing.

The frequency of Tibetan Black Quartz connects to all the chakras, activating, aligning and balancing one's energy centres and energy fields. It cleanses one's energy fields of negativity, purifying and energizing the whole of one's being.

Its connection to the upper third eye and crown chakras opens and awakens one's consciousness to the higher dimensions and to the vibratory energy of one's higher self, helping to ground this energy via the Earth star.

The energy of Tibetan Black Quartz fills one's energy fields with high vibrational energy so that an energetic, bubble-like "shield of Light" is formed offering one spiritual protection from any negativity.

Tibetan Black Quartz aids one with one's physical wellbeing by helping one to acknowledge and release negative energetic patterns that could cause physical issues.

Today's stone is Lodestone, also known as Magnetite.

Lodestone is a potent stone for manifestation helping you to attract what you most desire including both desirable situations and people. The stone is naturally magnetic and it has an impressive capacity to balance the hemispheres of the brain. It may aid you to bring whatever you most want into your life and its magnetic properties makes it a highly effective spiritual grounding stone.

The vibration of this stone will attract into your present situation the experiences or opportunities that you need to experience in your life.

This unusual stone is a strong aid to visualization, and it may help you to magnetize the things that you desire, to come into your life. The magnetism of these stones make them have a strong attractive vibration.

This is strong stone for abundance and prosperity and they may aid you to attract many things that you desire such as love and commitment within your personal relationships. Lodestone/Magnetite has a deep positive vibration with a magnetic attraction to help you bring into your life what you most want.

The magnetic qualities of this stone allow you to have a more balanced view of life, so it may aid emotional problems.

This is a strong spiritual grounding stone, that works by grounding you down through the base chakra to the earth chakra and Mother Gaia. This is an excellent stone to use if you are on the spiritual path. Use it in meditation as it is most helpful to assist you to enter the deeper meditative states. Your connection with Mother Gaia, and a deeper appreciation of the planet will happen naturally and easily at this time.

It has a strong vibration, and was known in the past as a Shamans crystal. This is because of its strong ability to make the earth connection. In the past it has been used within magical practices to ground your intentions through the earth chakra to Mother Gaia. This earth connection makes Lodestone/Magnetite an excellent stone for healers to use.

You will find this stone's vibration to be very effective to assist with balancing the entire aura. For this purpose you may use two stones; one at the base of the spine, so that its energy is at the base chakra and one at the crown chakra.

It may particularly strengthen your intuition, if you are a highly rational left-brained logical person. This stone will help you to develop your intuition and will aid you to have greater confidence in the flow of feelings that come from the Divine source.

If you deliberately and consciously direct it this stone will also aid you to release negativity. This is best done while in a meditative or relaxed state, where your intentions can be made clear to your higher self.

It is said to aid psychics who have been putting on weight as an energetic protective measure, to no longer energetically feel the need to do this.
