Day 5 - A Selection of Crystals and Gemstones

When contemplating which gemstones and crystals to use for yesterday's "Sorrow" card, I was confronted with the idea that its meaning could represent a variety of different things. It could suggest emotional conflict just as easily as it could represent the end of a business relationship. Therefore, I took a look at which crystals and gems are the most readily available and have the most ability to be used for multiple purposes. In fact, most crystals and gems have multiple uses which make it easy to begin collecting and using them in your daily life.

Amethyst - One of the most common specimens, Amethyst has been used since Ancient times as both a talisman and a sign of royalty. Amethyst has the ability to both calm and soothe while transforming murky energy into positive energy. It is usually associated with the Brow or Third Eye Chakra.

Rose Quartz - Typically associated with the Heart Chakra for its ability to purify. It helps us open to receiving love and heals our darker emotions that come about from anger, resentment, and hurt. Another readily available stone, you can wear it as jewelry or use it in a gem elixir.

Smoky Quartz - Neutralizes negative vibrations and helps to ground and center those who meditate with it. Smoky Quartz is a great addition to crystal grids because of its energetic properties. Resonates with the Base Chakra.

Selenite - One of my new personal favorites, Selenite carries a high vibration and powerfully disperses and stabilizes negative emotions. It is frequently purchased in wand form for cleaning the aura, though I have also seen it in pyramids and towers. It can be easily placed in a room or around the house.

Kathryn from Green Earth Stones, an online Etsy store, was kind enough to allow me to use the images above.

I have ordered from Kathryn and she sells high quality crystals at reasonable prices. I have never been disappointed with a product that I purchased from her and I recommend Green Earth Stones. Please let her know that I sent you.
