Confessions of a Rock-A-Holic

Since I have become a " Rock-Adoption-Agency " as I so lovingly call my business, I have gotten a lot of questions from people about the different shapes of crystals and what they mean. So I have decided to start a series of blogs here about the different crystal shapes, so people following can learn about the different shapes and why they might want to use a certain shape for a particular reason. I will randomly add a new shape, either natural formation or cut shape to the blog, I will begin each one with Crystal Shape - (Insert Shape) so if you want to look at all of them just search for those blogs that start with that or in the tags click on Crystal Shapes to find them :) Crystal balls, also known as crystal spheres, represent the Universe and all within it. Spheres represent the whole person. They send energy in all directions and are the most unified of all crystal shapes. Some uses for spheres are in places of group gatherings either small or large, off...

How to cleanse your crystals Many people have asked me this questions and I would like to share the ways I cleanse my crystals here. You can use any of the methods outlined below together or separately to cleanse and charge your crystals. I use all of these methods myself at different times of the moon cycles. Most of all with all things in healing intention is the key. I find that my crystals are more powerful and energizing when they are clean and charged. I don't mean they get "dirty" in a physical sense but rather dirty with other peoples or things energies. Crystals and gemstones are living vibrational things that come from mother earth. They are respected and revered by many in the healing arts. Anyone that has held a crystal in their hands will understand why I call them living. They vibrate to subtle but powerful energies and assist with healing, manifesting and many other things. Below are the different ways to cleanse crystals, feel free to read through these ...

Gemstones to help with PMS & Cramps A lot of my own crystal work has been experiences with my own healing and need of help.  I have discovered, collected and used crystals for many different ailments. Just like medicine, some medicine works on some people and doesn't others.  Some crystals work well with some people and some crystals not so much. (Of course I'm not telling you to not go to the Dr here either!)  What I AM saying is,,, EXPERIMENT!  Work with your crystals, carry them with you, meditate with them, wear them in jewelry, make grids. Experiment with what you are given on my blog, on my website and any other places that you can find information about crystals! Everyone is different in their reactions to crystals and how they work on themselves. What I write in my blog and on my websites about crystals is a collection of knowledge of experience with crystals myself. So what works for me might be a little different for you.  Just try what you are dra...

Metaphysical Healing Properties of Vanadinite  Vanadinite is strongly connected to the earth chakra. It's color is from a caramel color to brownish red. It is usually found growing on a matrix like the above picture.  The particular piece of vanadinite shown above sits in front of my monitor helping me to accomplish the tasks at hand.   One of vanadinite's most powerful energies is to help one to accept their physicality. It does this by grounding and centering the soul into the physical body and assisting it to be comfortable in the earths environment.  Vanadinite is a great manifesting stone.  For those that with to connect further with the earth energies vanadinite is a helpful tool to do so.
