Hello!

I've just posted an article called Chakra Healing With Crystals And Stones. It can be found here: http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art20514.asp

The color of a crystal is the key to its healing qualities. Each color of stone works best on a specific chakra to clear energy blockages and increase vitality and well-being.

What are you favorite crystals and stones? How do you use or wear them? Do you have any stories of healing or ritual with your crystal use? Have you used crystals with the chakras before?

I'd love to hear of your experience! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Right now my favorites are rose quartz, blue lace agate and hematite.

I have a couple chunks of rose quartz in my kitchen windowsill, in the "relationships" area of my house (Feng Shui) and I carry a little chunk in my backpack. It's supposed to be good for love and healing the heart and emotional problems. My relationships have all been really good the last few months and I've made a lot of new friends lately so I think it's probably working.

My favorite necklace lately is a chunk of blue lace agate on a choker-style wire. It's really striking, I get a lot of compliments on it. It's supposed to be healing for the throat chakra. I think it helps me communicate better.

I also have a hematite necklace and ring. It's a very grounding, heavy stone, so first chakra, I guess? I wear them whenver I'm feeling scattered. They make me feel more solid and grounded.

Hi Heather!

I love rose quartz. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I misplaced my rose quartz dolphin pendant, and now I can't find it. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I don't believe I have ever heard of blue lace agate, athough blue is my favorite color. Is there anywhere online that you know of that creates customized crystal jewelry, by any chance?

I find that I'm drawn to yellow stones, as well as those like obsidian and hematite. I have a neat bracelet with hematite, amber, and other assorted brown stones. I have a friend in Germany that just sent me a bracelet of round, polished carnelian, so I've been wearing it for several days now. It helps with de-stressing, grounding, and working in groups.

Obsidian is definitely good for grounding and first chakra stuff, among other things. I'll be having more articles forthcoming about different crystals, what they help, how astrological sign modifies its use, etc. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> (For example, carnelian will work a little differently for Geminis that, say, Aries.) Still, I think intent is powerful in itself, and crystals and stones help with focus and intention.

I also have a snowflake obsidian, and I find it very grounding and comforting, especially as a Scorpio. (Our main colors are supposedly red and black.)

I have a beautiful amethyst geode, too, that's quite heavy...about the size of a softball or a little larger. Very calming, and helps lots with mental clarity. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I don't do much work with chakras really but I have several stones that I love.

The main one is Carnelian. I have a large carnelian pendant that I wear often when I teach classes. Carnelian is a stone of courage and strength and I feel it helps me speak more confidently when I wear it at my throat.

Other stones I love are bloodstone and amber. I have a beautiful piece of Apatite as well which i am trying to figure out how to wrap as a pendant. (apatite is a beautiful blue not quite as dark as lapis, almost a hint of teal) and I also love both black and mahogany obsidian.

mtnmermaid- blue lace agate it LOVELY. Though I have to say my favorite agate is moss agate. I love how it looks like moss captured in crystal

Janet, I haven't bought any jewelry online, so I'm sorry, I don't know where to tell you to shop. Here's a link with a good photo of blue lace agate. I found my necklace at this little rock and gem shop in my area. It's a beautiful stone and it's got a very soothing vibe, I think.

Fiona, yeah, moss agate is beautiful! I wish I had some. I'll have to look for some carnelian, I've never used that one. I just got a little piece of bloodstone but haven't used it yet. It's really pretty.

I like obsidian too. I have some snowflake and some apache tears. Such a beautiful stone.

Hi Fiona!

Thanks for sharing how you use crystals and stones as a part of your path. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Heather, those stones are beautiful! I appreciate you sharing that link, because I'm finding that I can't find what I want at retail stores in terms of jewelry with specific crystals and stones. I'm considering taking up jewelry making. We'll see. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I've haven't found what I want in retail stores either, it's too bad you're not closer to me, I'd take you to the rock shops here, you'd probably like them.

Boy, that sounds like a lot of fun, Heather! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> We used to have a few science/nature type stores that sold rocks, but the only one I can think of is about 30 minutes away and sells the larger stones. I don't have any New Age or mystical bookstores near me. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> In fact, I don't know of any, although I'm sure there's probably one tucked in a corner somewhere...probably the city.

its weird, i was searching the net for custom jewelers the other day...
i have quite a few designs for rings and charms and pendants that i think would be amazing, especially to us new ager types since the stones are typically gemstones or semi precious stones. i try to design around certain uses for the stones, like wedding rings would have loyalty and passion traited stones, etc...
im quite fond of malachite, i got a malachite necklace with quartz and jade for my birthday. very fitting for a taurus, i think. i feel so much more tied to the earth when i wear semi precious stones. i think that they hold more power than the expensive stones like diamonds and rubies because there is less blood cost and they are less...whats the word...tainted? something like that. diamonds and such are notorious for holding bad energies, too. i often wonder at the source of many a divorce...
thats just my opinion tho <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

i wonder if the jewelerymaking host does custom pieces? wonder if they just do beads? hmmm
