Secrets and Powers of Crystals and Gemstones

I love everything about crystals and gemstones but I'm especially interested in their folklore, legends and history.

Whenever I'm buying a new crystal or gem I always take into account how many facets it has, what colour it is and the meaning of the stone and the colour.

There's just so much more to choosing a crystal or gemstone so I wrote a full colour 64 page ebook and decided to give it away for free because I want everyone, that's interested, to be able to have this information at their finger tips.

Crystals and gemstone power used to be viewed as some sort of new age gimmick but they've been used for centuries and really never lost their popularity. Fair enough, a lot of people don't choose their gemstones for anything other than 'it looks fantastic' but everyone loves sparkling gemstones! Maybe if people realised the influence a particular gemstone might have then they'd choose a bit more carefully.

I'll be regularly adding information to my lens but you can get more information (and a copy of my free ebook) by visiting my website CrystalsandGems

Apart from my own ebook I highly recommend a copy of Chakra Crystal Healing by Lynn Claridge. It's a very comprehensive ebook with over 140 pages full of fantastic information.

Important Update!

I'm starting lenses for each crystal/gemstone as there's just not enough room here to write about each one. Still lots of information on this lens but make sure you look at my new ones too. Thank you.

Why Do Crystal and Gemstones Have Power? 

There are many theories but one of the most popular is that all crystals have the capacity to absorb energies, emotions and knowledge.

The variety of their composition means that each type absorbs different powers and these powers are then naturally imparted to the user or wearer.

Your Instant Success Library 

Not strictly about crystals but most of us, that are interested in crystal power, are also interested in similar topics and I've just received the link for this and wanted to share it - too good to miss and doesn't cost anything!

Choosing Crystals and Gemstones 

Actually they'll probably choose you. They often pop into your life in mysterious and magical ways. Crystals and gemstones respond to though and feelings so take your time in looking at them and just see if any jump out or speak to you.

Just look, don't touch and see if you're repeatedly drawn back to looking at the same one. Try not to let logic decide for you - biggest isn't always best! Let your intuition guide you and trust that feeling.

Here's a link to my favourite place, to buy online, because they have 1000's of Unusual Gifts, Jewellery, Rocks and Crystals and much more at Living Designs Even if you're just browsing it's worth taking a look at all the amazingly, beautiful crystal items they have available.

Then there's CrystalAge which seems to be another fantastic site to just browse, or buy Crystals, Fossils, Healing Stones, Rock Clusters, Geode Rocks & Tumbled Stones. They stock over 2,000 products and their site provides extensive information on minerals, stone types, chakras, etc.

They really do have one of largest selections of products online and they're even able to source crystal products on request.

Skeptical? 

Try placing crystals around your garden, or in potted plants, and see how much more beautiful and bright your plants bloom and grow. To specicially energise a garden try placing a crystal in each corner and one in the centre. This creates a type of energy similar to pyramid energy.

Crystals and tools to work with and help to create a harmonious environment but they can only assist and amplify what we can do with our minds, energies and willpower.

Crystals are an integral part of the earth and the earth and its inhabitants are crying out for love and attention. I believe the heart chakra, of the earth, is now opening and it's time to listen with our hearts rather than our heads.

It's a time to trust and understand our feelings and intuition rather than logic. Crystals can help us reach this new point of balance. They are here to wake us up and remind us of whom we really are.

Remember, we're only just beginning to rediscover the secrets and powers of crystals and gemstones - they will talk, if you listen.

Please download a free PDF copy of my 64 page, full colour ebook and share it with your friends. There's loads of interesting facts and information plus a guide to which crystals to use for what purpose.

Just a reminder that a full A-Z of Crystals is included in my free 64 page, full colour ebook. When I say free, I do mean it - you don't have to subscribe to anything, give me your email address or even your inside leg measurement.

Of course, I'd love you to sign up for my newsletter but I believe in the freedom of choice and in the power of giving to receive. Don't you find those sites irritating, where it's compulsory to subscribe before you can get hold of a copy of whatever they're offering? I know I do!

My website has loads of free PDF ebooks that you can download, at your leisure - Affirmations, Meditation, The Giant Within, Dreams, Herbal Remedies, Law of Attraction, etc etc.

There's also free MP3 to download and inspirational videos to watch.

The website is fairly new so I'm still adding to it regularly.

Agate 

Competition, Eloquence, Fevers, Gums and Circulation.

I love Agate and have ornamental slices on display throughout my home. It looks stunning but as my circulation isn't too great, it's beneficial to my health too.

Because it comes in different colours, shapes and sizes, anyone can find astunning ornamental piece that fits their personal taste in decor.

Agate Blue Lace 

Blue Lace Agate is a gentle, calming stone that helps to lessen feelings of anger, irritation and nervousness.

It's also great for increasing intuition, inspiration and communication. I have a small Blue Lace Agate tumblestone that I keep on my desk and if I'm at a loss of what to write next I often find myself gently moving the stone around in my hand, without even consciously having picked it up.

It's the same when I'm making a phone call, I find myself holding the Blue Lace Agate, which is probably because it's also great for speaking and smooth discussion. (I have a lot of blue in my office area but that's a whole other lens!)

As with all agates, Blue lace agate also has wonderful protective energies.

Blue Lace Agate is used to aid arthritis, inflammations, headaches, digestive issues, growth, fever and composure.

There are some stunning jewellery pieces with Blue Lace Agate and I have a pendant that I often wear to meetings. It helps my speech, is protective and keeps any negative vibes in check! It's amazing to watch the other people in the meeting - their eyes are constantly drawn to the pendant and I'm absolutely positive that it's helped me seal many deals.

Don't Forget Swarovski 

Swarovski - The magic of crystal. www.swarovski.com
- Daniel Swarovski was a glass cutter and jeweller born in Bohemia in 1862. He was the patentee of an electric machine in 1892 that made the production of lead crystal glass possible. As a result of his superiorly precise process, his crystals became world famous and dominated the market in the 20th century. Today, his crystals are still produced in the same factory in Austria.

I sell lots of hanging crystals, including Swarovski, on eBay but just haven't had the time to list any lately. Creating this lens has once again spurred me on so I'll report back here once I get the listings up.

My Mind Movies 

Mind Movies are a great visualization tool and I watch mine at least twice a day.

I was inspired to create my latest Mind Movie after reading Bob Proctor's ebook - download it for free.

I must warn you that creating Mind Movies is such good fun that I'm now totally addicted!

You don't even need to use the software specifically for Mind Movies. I'm busy creating a new Movie for Crystals and Gemstones. The cost of the software is only $37 and an absolute bargain because I can include my website address, upload them to YouTube and get more visitors.

Visit my Mind Movies lens for loads more information.

I love this Mind Movie software and can't believe how inexpensive it is - last time I looked it was only $37.00 and worth every cent.

The great thing about it is that you don't just have to use it for positive influence on your mind. I've used mine to create some beautiful MP3 of my children with suitable music and words to remind us of some great times.

It's simply great fun to play around with and highly recommended.

Facets 

1 = the number of beginning, initiation, inspiration, ideas and confidence.

2 = mothering and caring. 2 Crystals joined represent partnership and sharing.

3 = communication, expression and creativity. The holy trinity.

4 = Mind, body, spirit and feeling.

5 = Freedom and curiosity.

6 = Balance and harmony.

7 = Mystic and seeker of truth.

8 = Power

9 = Helping to learn the lessons of life.

10 = The whole - it contains the 1 of 'I am' and the circle of completion.

11 = A master number that emphasises the meaning of two 1s but also 1+1=2 which symbolises an ability to care for others.

12 = Completes a cycle. 12 signs of the zodiac, 12 hours of the day, 12 hours of the night, etc.

13 = The number of divination.

So next time you're choosing a piece of faceted jewelery you might like to note not just which gemstone you choose but also how many facets it has.

I think Gems and Stones sets an aura that could help its bearer. For me there is a possibility that they could also absorb knowledge and stuff.

5 stars for your Well Researched and Informative Lens.

Hola Richgerman - yes, I do use the law of attraction too but when I began using it, about 25 years ago, it wasn't called the LoA. There are quite a few LoA digital books for free download on my website.

Many years ago I suppose it really was a 'Secret' as I definitely wasn't encouraged to speak about it to others. As a child I frequently and openly spoke about it but soon realised that it was best to keep quiet as most people thought I was a nutter! Funny how so many people use it and speak openly about it now.
