Non Sentient Earthlings,Crystals & Rocks
As well as being great for healing ,being beautiful to look at ,fun to hunt for & older then anything else you will ever possess.. Rocks have been used by man since humanity dawned for all sorts of things ,building,cooking,hunting, tools,even heating.
Crystals are used in calibration of many devices because of their ability to resonate uniformly. For example, in the production of silicon chips & galena :the crystal form of lead sulphide which is used in radios & watches . As an Electrician by trade, I learned & studied the phenomenon that certain crystals produce an electrical voltage when subjected to extreme compression. As a general geek I went ahead a learned on my own that Quartz crystals are manufactured for frequencies from a few tens of kilohertz to hundreds of megahertz. More than two billion crystals are manufactured annually! Most are used for consumer devices such as wristwatches, clocks, radios, computers, and cellphones. Quartz crystals are also found inside test and measurement equipment, such as counters, signal generators, and oscilloscopes.
The effect is called...
"Piezoelectricity"
*Warning GeekSpeak : any spatially separated charge will result in an electric field, and therefore an "electric potential". In a piezoelectric device, mechanical stress < ie: compression,> instead of an externally applied voltage, causes the charge separation in the individual atoms of the material.Which in layman's terms means it produces energy in the form of heat and light when squeezed upon itself with enough pressure.Always makes me smile to see this effect while molding a piece of crystal into treasure on the grinder in the Lapidary Shop :) We made these couple years ago now...
Some examples occurring in nature are of course the aforementioned Quartz.As well as Berlinite,Sucrose,Topaz & Tourmaline to name a few. More & more so Science is acknowledging that undeniable fact the Crystals are not mere lumps of rock, but complex arrangements of non sentient living structures, which have electrical & a wealth of other other unique properties.
I suggest to anyone as consumed as I with Crystalology & its benefits for the Good of ALL .. Do as I did & invest in at LEAST a beginner course on geology and/or gemology to get the base knowledge down or more economically feasible choice....visit the library or take one online ,there is many a number of the web based courses popping up daily...Do some research and go with what FEELS right to YOU ....
Another great idea ...Join your local Lapidary Club . It cost us only $30 a year & is a GREAT way to meet like minded SoulKin ,RockHounders & great people in general , as well as learn where to look for and identify Stones in the Wild, because while its nice to buy pretty pieces ,it means something else entirely to MANIFEST them from the Earth...Trust me, its exhilarating !!
My number one suggestion if looking to buy a book on Crystals & Minerals .... invest in a copy of the MUST have Love is in the Earth ,The Crystal & Mineral Encyclopedia Last Testament Encyclopedia by Melody , now before your hurry to order it new, try searching for a gently used copy as they are a little on the costly side for most budgets I saved for a month , I believe cost me $125 eons ago now ,not sure what they are going for now, But to me it is PRICELESS
(I own two ,purse size *no pictures*, & the one pictured below Atlas size *with beautiful illustrations for each entry* ...
On another important note ,something I believe to be extremely relevant in the age of Electronic EVERYTHING is this ....Everyone thinks the Rock Salt Lamps are a new fad .
Not so!! I have used them in my home in conjunction with plants & music for over two decades with amazing success in cleaning & balancing energy especially more so now in the age of electronics.When I first started practicing Space Clearing & the Ancient Art of Feng Shui in the late 80's all we had was TV's ,VCR's and Radio's our homes mostly to contend with...
Now we run the gamut & are energetically-polluted by a multitude of electrical devices, televisions, microwaves, computers ,cell phones,wifi everywhere,chips in our cars,even our toothbrushes have batteries !!!
It is important to cleanse the electrical fields that can build up in our environment. When heated (**I prefer my old style tealight versions as oppose to the plug in version for the simple fact that the electric ones produce exactly what I am trying to eliminate .but do own two USB ones for the computers!!**) the Rock Salt releases negative ions into the air, creating an effect similar to an ionizer, purifying the surrounding air.
The Universe correlates to the energy it receives from which ever Earthling to transmitting it ,whether it be rock ,plant, animal, human sentient or non sentient ... this energy flows into the universe like water. It constantly changes, shifts & it’s definitely possible to manipulate this energy flow to change your own energetic frequencies ,allowing for fine tuning of self.
Crystals have the ability to store and transmit information in the form of energy patterns ...
RecordKeepers...That is to say, they innately speak the language of All that has ever been and ever will be . Using them in your home can therefore enhance & direct the energy that flows through it & to and from Source.
Here are just a tiny few gifts from Gaia Mother Earth that can be used for specific purposes:
Amethyst:
One of my personal favorites, absorbs & transmutes negativity. Quells night terrors & enhances creativity.
Adventerine:
Soothes tempers,emits a frequency of calm & brings balance to the enviroment.
Rainbow (Sheen) Obsidian:
Brings love & light ,allowing the spiritual nature to shine forth.Enhances clairvoyance.
Chrysoprase:
This is helpful when moving either a home or business, as it brings success to new ventures/beginnings.
Howlite:
(*Often dyed & sold as Turquoise) Very useful for helping those night owls such as myself aiding in healthy sleep patterns.Super calming and used to relieve stress.
Rhodonite:
Encourages patience & harmony in the enviroment, while still providing enough assertiveness to help you stand your ground & not be self compromising, in a way that is best for the good of all .
Rose Quartz:
Brings self-love, heals emotional wounds helping to overcome grief or sadness of any kind.It is also Archangel Ariel's stone
Smoky Quartz:
The unique combination of strong grounding and protective energy with light, soothing and uplifting energy one is the quality that distinguishes smoky quartz from other grounding and protective crystals and stones. Deflects negativity ,I carry this stone with me when out of my house.
WaterMelon Tourmaline:
Deflects negativity, whether from inside or outside the home. Provides a protective field. Promotes harmony.
Unakite:
Useful alieving sickness, helping uncover the true source of the problem, rather than just dealing with physical symptoms.
Like I said these are a itty bitty teeny weeny view of what the Earth has in store for you and are my picks I encourage you to explore all kinds of rocks,minerals & crystals.Visit creek beds,cut outs,museums,the internet,crystal & rocks shops,amatuer guided mining (safety first), we have visited numerous tourable mines with our favorite so far being
The Rock Candy Mine ,Grand Forks BC Canada.
When it comes to more detailed use of crystals in the home, start by considering what you keep there, and how it affects your daily well-being.
Here are just a few of the items that crystals can have a beneficial effect on:
Skin ,Our Biggest Organ:
So many of our clothes,body care products and fashion accessories as of late are made of chemical laden material , rather than silk, cotton, hemp or wool. Synthetic chemical laden fabrics weaken your immune system & energy field, think about it anything we put on our skin is absorbed thru or pores. Wearing Crystals to help to try and transmute the effect is better than not doing anything at all I my world.
Sustenance:
We are what we eat! Placing your food upon crystal charging mats or cooking with energized water , produce and other food (I do not eat meat myself , if you do I encourage you to research where it comes from .) Charging your food can make a difference !! I am proof !! It taste better ,stays fresher longer & my health has never been better . In the age of GMO's & sometimes unsafe ,usually unethical meat production we need to do everything we can to ensure our foods have a chance at nourishing our bodies,Trying to make sure as well that it is produced chemical free & ETHICALLY .. This is harder for some than others in the age of over-processed stomach fillings, full of unhealthy energy due to lack of nutrients ,man's meddling and cruel slaughtering process ,if you think I am exaggerating just google "Where does my meat come from?" or " Earthlings " for an even broader view "What in the World are They "Spraying" Don't say I didnt warn you though.
Plants & Gardens:
Crystals are also great to use around your plants, after all Crystals are made by Mother Earth just like your plants are. You can use them to energize your plants and make them grow stronger and more happy. You can also use them to nurse sick plants back to health. My plants love having the Crystals around them. It's like a shot of vitamins for them . You can also take some of your smaller skinny Crystals and shoved them down into the soil next to the base of the plant. This will help your plant to grow big and strong as it energizes your plant each day.
Bedrooms:
Your body sleeps to recharge itself, but often the bedding and such retains old energy, which is residual which may make your more tired, rather than refresh you. A classic crystal placement for the bedroom is to take three singly terminated quartz crystals and place them under the mattress, between the mattress and box springs. One is placed point in at the top center of the bed the other two are placed point in at each corner of the foot of the bed. This will put you in a nest of very relaxing and protective energies . Some people report that large crystals in the bedroom can disturb their sleep. There are many crystals that are used for sleep or for dream work but you may find it better to keep only a few in the bedroom.
Your Car:
We often spend many long hours in our car and yet completely ignore the fact it runs on energy |& produces energy. Place the stone in a secure place where it will not roll around or get lost. I suggest wrapping it in wire, attaching it to a cord or chain, and then hanging it from the rearview mirror.Some suggestions .... Placing a Tiger-eye in your car will help to protect you and your car against accidents.Quartz adhered near the fuel tank I have been told gives better gas mileage.Some other crystals that can be used in your car are: Turquoise, to protect against environmental pollution, Black tourmaline, Jet and Smoky Quartz to absorb and shield against negative energy. **You will have to program the crystals and cleanse on a regular basis about once a week especially if you do a lot of driving. **A fair size Rose Quartz will protect you from others carelessness. If it has a point place it facing toward the front of the car. It will radiate a circle of loving intention around and in front of the vehicle so that all who ride in the car and those who approach the car will be freed thoughts of road rage and anger.
Pets:
My animals LOVE LOVE LOVE their crystals ,preferring to rub on and chase their spheres over any toy I give them and in the summer they can all be found outside in my rock garden sunning and recharging.I also have CrystalRx™ Kits I make up and deliver when I know animals are in need .

You can also use the same crystal in tumbled stone form to make a gemstone water.
I do this by filling a large bottle with water and adding the tumbled stone to it then leave it overnight and fill the water bowl with it the following day topping it up as they drink it.
***(RESEARCH FIRST)***
Certain stones such as malachite which has a very high copper content are not suitable for gemwater. All the above apart from Malachite and black tourmaline are fine. Never put the tumblestone within reach of your pet as they may swallow it! You can use crystals beside your pets bed or hanging above it. If they have a specific problems stroking/ massaging them with the appropriate crystal is good.
