Rocks, Stones, Gemstones--Metaphysical Purposes

[BarbaraRyan]

I like stones and geology. I have a number of favorites, but right now, my favorite is blue chalcedony. I have a pretty single terminated pendant with a silver setting that I wear constantly. It helps to increase patience and protect you from the casual nastiness that people send out, like road rage or the evil eye. It makes me feel calmer and it's just so pretty.

Hugs!

The other day I noticed that the special Tibetan Quartz I bought last week is also an Enhydro. I've found 2 pockets of water so far...there's so much going on in that stone and I cen't wait to see what it will show me next. I love it!

Saturday a couple of nice tabbies, one twinned to a generator, a singing piece that looks like a knife blade, a couple of wands and a beautiful Isis phantom followed me home...The owner of one of my favorite local shops let me take a huge tray of crystals out on the front porch - I sat in the sun for over an hour with them...heaven, pure heaven!

At the same shop I had an intimate encounter with a bag of raw sugilite...gave me chills...so totally cool and the shop owner got a huge charge out of my reaction. No sugalite followed me home - I'm not ready for it yet.

Hi softness, this is an absolutely beautiful stone. Hard to find and expensive. Pretty powerful too. I was taken by surprise when I put my hand in the bag on Saturday...got tingly all over, hair on arms & back of neck stood up then I got weak in the knees and a bit dizzy. Totally unexpected and way cool. I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing because I was talking with the shop owner and not looking at what I was doing when I put my hand in that bag.

Here's some info with links:

SUGALITE This violet stone is essential for psychic development and strengthening the Third Eye. It helps focus you during meditation and balances the pituitary and pineal glands. Sugalite is believed to dissipate feelings of negativity and anger and to encourage feelings of happiness and peace. It is associated with those born under the sign of Aquarius.

Sugilite (Sugalite, Royal Azel, Lavulite, Luvulite Cybeline, Wesselite)
Sugilite is sometimes known as "the healer's stone" because of its great ability to enhance healing. It is associated with the third eye and crown chakras. It lessens effects of shock and disappointment. In addition to its well known enhancement of crystal healing ability, it also strengthens spirituality, psychic ability and channelling. Sugilite is a stone that helps perfect spiritual love and open the heart chakra to unconditional love. It can help manifest one's natural gifts and protect against harsh realities. It lowers hostility, anger, jealousy and prejudice and gives a sense of freedom. Psychically, it is excellent for all kinds of psychic and spiritual protection. It has been used for headaches and to decrease all types of discomfort. Sugilite is associated with the brow chakra. It is also called Sugalite, Royal Azel, Lavulite, Luvulite Cybeline, or Wesselite.
