mystic properties of gemstones

Thanks so much, will have to check them out. What stones would you recommend a rookie like me begin with?
A simple clear quartz this will help you focus and give you a perfect starting point.
THIS IS IMPORTANT!
YOU MUST clean a crystal immediately after it has been bought, as you do not know the kind of impressions it could be carrying. It should be soaked in salt water overnight and then washed properly and left in the sunlight and then put in a place where incense and fire is present to purify it. This is to clean it of the existing negative influences and the impressions it carried from the past.
When you go to choose your stone DO NOT grab the 1st stone you find ! All living things have a certain vibration or frequency. Each crystal has its own particular vibration and each will resonate differently. A psychically sensitive person can pick up a rock or a piece of jewelry and tell where it has been and the impressions it carries. So when you select or pick out a stone from a cluster, it is the one meant for you as the vibrations of that particular stone match yours. its like in Harry Potter "Do not seek the wand the wand seeks you" pass your hand over the stones. place one or two in your hand. take your time. Let the vibrations speak to you. you WILL know the right stone.
hold the stone in your hand in a dark room meditate. focus on the vibrations of the stone.
turn on music softly I use this one often:


When I meditate and do any sprit work I always do so skyclad as is pleasing to the Goddess. this will give you a firm beginnings.
Blessed Be

Direct sunlight for at least two hours does just fine too, preferably late morning or early afternoon sun...

I've found that Selenite has extremely strong protective type of energy potential...It can be focused and manipulated and also act as a personal shield of protection and Selenite can also keep one safe during travel...When I traveled to Buffalo NY years ago on business I had Selenite with me and I keep some specimens in my bedroom near the borders to the room...

I have always been instinctual about what stones I have with me and haven't really read much about them except for looking some things up in Melody's Love is in the Earth book. Once when I decided to participate with the PTA at my daughter's school I got elected Treasurer and found that the previous and one of the new electees was crazy. The past and current president got into a really stupid feud. I got a bunch of bloodstone and told both of them to keep it in their pocket any time they needed to interact with other humans. Even so they both would call me and finally the only response I had was, "We need to disband the PTA. All I have to do is write a check to the national PTA to empty the bank account and close the account." I had looked it up because they were driving me insane. The past president left everyone alone and the new president never called me to whine about some argument she had. I don't think either of them ever used the bloodstone.

Do you have any stones cut into geometric shapes? Are there gem stones people shouldn't have/carry?

I have a sapphire cut like a diamond would be and a few clear quartz with cut points at the top, many polished pieces and spheres...I don't have any cut into a triangle nor any pyramid shapes..

I don't know about any particular gemstones a person shouldn't carry or possess, but if any particular stone doesn't feel right or resonate in a positive way try clearing it first and if that doesn't work I'd get rid of that one and find another...

I'm guessing the average person wouldn't have any sensation while holding a gem.

My second daughter Deborah can feel quartz. and to some extent bloodstone. moldavite is so powerful even her boyfriend can feel its vibrations.

By man made, you mean grown in a laboratory like those crystal kits from science class?

Some gemstones are heat treated or irradiated to change their properties and colour and in some cases their shape...Thats the extent of "man-made" which I'm aware of...It changes the natural resonance or destroys it completely...

In some work I have manipulated a gemstone by adding to it's own energies, shaping it for a distinct purpose, however this is a much different process than mechanical manipulation like mentioned above...

I got some stones here at a rock shop. Clear quartz, smoke quartz, orange citrine, and green jade. So, what have I got here?

Clear Quartz. Because Clear Quartz is such a worldly crystal, cultures from around the world have their own mythology related to this stone. The term “quartz” comes from the Greek word for “ice.” Ancient Greek philosophers like Theophrastus believed that the transparent stone was a form of permanent ice, so cold, it kept from thawing. European clairvoyants in the middle ages used crystal balls made of Clear Quartz, as they were said to assist in predicting the future. This may be where the crystal ball originated! In South America, native cultures thought Clear Quartz crystal skulls held their ancestors’ spirits. And in Ancient Egypt, Clear Quartz crystal was used to construct monuments as it was believed to channel the energy from the planetary system. And in ancient Japanese mythology, Clear Quartz crystal stone was regarded as a symbol of perfection because it was believed to be the physical form of a white dragon’s breath. The mythology held that dragons were symbols of generosity and benevolence, so the crystal also became associated with such values. Today, different metaphysical attributes are given to the stone.

Part of the joy of teaching my daughter the craft is allowing her to choose her 1st focusing stones. She chose well 3 quartz 2 clear and one rough.
I was surprised when she next chose angel quartz. These stones hold energies that embody the powerful energies to make a connection with the angelic realm. White light and attuned to the higher realms. The pure energy that radiates out of Angel Aura Quartz helps imbue ones body with such positive energy, that its near impossible to feel anything except joy and happiness. 3 rose quartz. when she chose these I gave her no guidance. But this was a perfect synergy
this gem has a particular connection to the Heart Chakra. and works well with Angel Aura quartz.
I saw she had learned from her dabbling in calling dark powers with these choices. next she chose two grounding stones. Apace tears. I have spoken before about these powerful stones and their uses.
I was also pleased she chose a sunstone. With its powers of the sun and light, Sunstone clears and cleanses all the chakras, restoring joy and nurturing the spirit. This stone will make it easy for her to enter the higher realms and seek inner peace.
finally a tigers eye in the shape of a heart. Tiger eye powers are especially helpful for spiritual healing. Kate injured her spiritual being by not only calling upon dark powers but also divining sexual plesure from these beings. a practice I put an end to after one such decided to make our dwelling its own...
she chose well. now I will train and teach her in the ways to use of these stone.
Blessed Be

So Rikki, what should I do with the stones I have selected? I figured clear quartz was a good place to begin. Quite honestly I just liked the way the others looked, but I would like to learn more about their properties.

green jade is also known as a protective stone because of its abilities to ward off the negative energies that surround you. its a powerful grounding stone as well. if protection and warding was your goal then you chose well.
Orange citrine When working with this stone our root chakra becomes actively engaged and rooted in Mother Earth. During this experience, one is able to fully absorb the nurturing and rejuvenating energies our home planet has to offer. Next time you meditate with Citrine, try doing so outside; especially during dawn or dusk. you will find the experience empowering as with practice you can feel the LIFE of our world. burn sage to deepen this experience.
the bible says
Psalm 19. 1 and 2

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
during the meditation I see and feel the life of the Goddess. As you will also feel the divinity of Christ and your own divine nature. For we are children of the Divine. for citrine empowers us and roots us in the very fabric of creation. do not expect revelation right away Citrine is a stone you must meditate and excite nightly.
you have chosen well.
Blessed Be

Thanks so much! I'll have my citrine handy while working in the garden tomorrow.

Always cleanse your newly purchased stones before using them...
