RE: the 'post your crystal' thread - Spaced - 07-22-2013
Love those skulls notalone
RE: the 'post your crystal' thread - Jade - 07-22-2013
I like this thread a lot, I need to start collecting again. I've moved/been stolen from/been poor so many times that I really detached from any desire for most material things, but this thread makes me reconsider!
RE: the 'post your crystal' thread - GentleReckoning - 07-22-2013
Notalone, did you recently pick those up?
RE: the 'post your crystal' thread - Melissa - 07-23-2013
The kyanite and skulls are relatively new, the other two I've had for about a year.
Got them from my mother, she has a huge, huge collection of crystals.
RE: the 'post your crystal' thread - Rake - 07-23-2013
Damn i want some stones/ crystals now!
Does anyone know of a stone/crystal that is good for grounding?
RE: the 'post your crystal' thread - GentleReckoning - 07-23-2013
Black kyanite grounds from root on down. Grounding meditations become very potent and can make you aware of your connection to the 'earth star chakra'. Smokey quartz is very popular as well. Black Tourmaline is a recent favorite of mine.
If you can't go to store in person to check them out, I'd just buy a bunch of them. You can never have enough.
So, I bought a positive vibration combo. I notice myself engaging in 'negative thought patterns' when I don't have the moldavite pendant in my vicinity. Very powerful for me. I'm not 100% sure as to the super 7's exact effects, but I really love it.
Super 7/Melody's stone:
Mine, from the ebay photo as it's tiny and I don't have a good macro lens.

Here is a picture of the pendant I bought:
![[Image: zxf7.jpg]](http://imageshack.us/a/img841/742/zxf7.jpg)
I bought this primarily for the moldavite, but the peridot and citrine are some very nice crystals to get as part of the package deal. Also, silver supposedly 'guides' the energies of what is set in it. This is the combo that keeps me from stewing in my own filth (so to speak).
RE: the 'post your crystal' thread - Unbound - 07-30-2013
I don't have great pics at the moment, but these are my two 'closest' stones.
The first, the Heart of Stars.

And the second, the Heart of Gold.

Both were gifts from individuals who have assisted me in learning about myself and my path a great deal and whom I am very thankful for encountering. No editing has been done.

Did somebody say stars?
The guy that sold this to me called it "Eye of Kali". I think it fits.![[Image: 017c50b2-1009-4d61-9a6d-5d8d18f5b04c_zpsf7d72bc8.jpg]](http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o128/ahktu/017c50b2-1009-4d61-9a6d-5d8d18f5b04c_zpsf7d72bc8.jpg)

Suddenly feeling inspired to show some of my new family, though certain members are still camera shy.
This is the stone I most commonly meditate with.

Ooh, you got a full piece! I'm settling for a little chip right now. I've got some new friends coming in the mail though. :p
Really like your crystallized fire, lynn. It's host rock also looks really cool.

I do have some 1mm moldavite beads that seriously shifted my chakra balance upwards. Did not really enjoy the feeling.

What makes you choose that stone? I don't actually sit with bare stones as they don't seem to do as much for me as a 'blend'.
I will be creating an experimental device with my skeleton quartz soon. This device is gonna blow my mind if it works 'as advertised'. They showed it to me in a dream and I was confused as to how it was working. The other week the concept finally integrated completely, and they gave the go ahead to create it. If it works, it will confuse everyone that comes across it.
RE: the 'post your crystal' thread - Brittany - 07-30-2013
I think that stone chose me instead of me choosing it. I feel naturally compelled to meditate with it. I've tried it with other stones but that one just feels right. Sometimes instead of holding it in my hands it likes to sit by my feet while I meditate.

Yo BE, if you post a picture of that moldavite, I can tell you if its real.
FYI: GR and Rie's are legit.

BrownEye - yeah they have very strong energy too that it physically prickles at times

RE: the 'post your crystal' thread - GentleReckoning - 07-30-2013
Meditating with it can be fun too. I meditated with this guy:
![[Image: wr1s.jpg]](http://imageshack.us/a/img845/6498/wr1s.jpg)
And felt a pulsing through my body, and felt very aware of my energy body. Then poof! Gone. This was the piece of moldavite that I picked up at a rock shop 90 miles away while I was waiting on the pendant to arrive in the mail. Patience in regards to things I'm excited about has never been my strong point.
And here's the whole bunch:

The red on the points I believe is iron ore. I can give it an acid bath to clean that off. Lovely Chevron quartz.
One piece was loose, and has become my carrystone from this particular cluster. Another piece is loose, and could potentially become the meditation stone as well. I'm undecided on if I'm going to clean it as the red look is really unique.

You can get true marble tiles very cheaply. trying to buy large counter top pieces will be extremely expensive. Don't bother going to places that manufacture countertops to see if you can buy scrap pieces because they usually do not sell scraps without first milling them to avoid selling someone a sharp edged item that could cause serious harm.
It is well known that marble has high absorption properties and can actually contain the energies of other stones and crystals within it. A marble exposed to many such connections would increase in its own energy over time and exposure.
Thanks for this piece of advice. I have a few thin slabs of marble from my grandparents' home. They'd lived there 50 yrs and their home had an amazing feel to it. I know grandpa is one of my guides. Now I know what to do with these marble slabs.
RE: the 'post your crystal' thread - Rake - 08-14-2013
What stone or crystals do people use for grounding? I'v come across Black Kyanite but Im clueless with this stuff

I have a Black Tourmaline that works well for grounding. I also have a big chunk of Obsidian which is good for grounding too, but can also be a bit rough in the way it mirrors blockages back to you.

Smokey quartz will almost always be the best option, but it's a bit more expensive. Black Kyanite is very nice as well. Combining a stone with a simple visualization exercise greatly enhances the effect.

Thanks for your reply's is there anywhere good on the internet for getting hold of these. I'm not sure i trust ebay? Etsy has a good few people selling crystals might give it a try
RE: the 'post your crystal' thread - reeay - 08-16-2013
I love using black crystals (black tourmaline is really super) for grounding and protection. Usually I buy crystals at the new age store nearby bc I like to touch them before I adopt them (or they adopt me) and bc I know they get really good quality stuff.
For those who buy crystals online - do you receive the product you have expected in terms of being the same crystal that they advertised?

I've bought them online several times. I once got a bad batch of red jaspers, but after informing the owner I got a new batch for free.
RE: the 'post your crystal' thread - Parsons - 08-16-2013
I bought a small clear quartz crystal skull that I like, but don't feel a connection to. He is my first crystal, however, so I am a total noob. Next time I 'adopt' one, I'll find a local metaphysical shop.

What's so funny about Tiger's Eye is that it actually carries some of the energies that Jupiter does. (navel) mmm..
