Abalone: is a feminine, Shamanic healing shell and a natural shapeshifting tool. It improves protein assimilation and strengthens the heart and other muscle tissue. The various colors of rainbow sheen enliven and impact many body areas when worn or carried. The Abalone shell "bowl" is used during smudge ceremonies, a Native American cleansing ritual performed before sacred activity and to cleanse the self and areas on a regular basis.

Actinolite: Actinolite is an immensely important tool! It is a phenomenal shielding device and expands the energy bodies. This expansion provides for a connection to "All That Is" and facilitates the "brotherhood" of all. Provides a familiarity with all of those who one encounters, withholding all aspects of that which cause the familiar smile, action or being, to appear objectionable. By focusing this mineral on an unwanted condition, lessening is both facilitated and enhanced.

Adamite: For me, Adamite is a wonderful piece to connect emotions with the heart. It allows us to identify and deal with emotional issues, especially those that affect our reactions to any given circumstance. Adamite provides clarity and strength as these issues are faced. When holding Adamite, a feeling of warmth and safety may be present. Those who are drawn to water will also be drawn to Adamite, as it is as soothing and cool as a fresh water stream.

Afghanite: "These soft blue crystals will gently lift us up, increasing our energy vibration at a pace that is comfortable to each individual, as opposed to that rush of energy that can sometimes raise our vibration quickly (like a run away elevator..LOL). The blue color suggests that its energy would assist in the areas of throat, third eye and crown Chakras. For a 'thinking' person, Afghanite would allow even more focus in the pursuits of intelligence. It can assist in the areas of communication and in fact would be extremely helpful to those who work in the communications field (public speaker, lawyer, radio, newspaper, TV, etc.). For the 'feeling' person, it would help to speak and respond with clarity and truth. Many of those who sit in their feeling centers tend to react first and respond later. I think this piece would allow one to feel the reaction, but not act on it until a clear and precise response has been formulated (alleviating that foot in mouth issue many of us feeling folks have :)

I believe that Afghanite would be a gentle reminder that we are what we think we are. That means that what we state, we create. This gives us the unlimited choice to make clear and accurate statements about what we want to be.

This would be an excellent stone to use in meditation or dream work. Gently opening us up to the higher self within and allowing messages to flow freely. It may also assist in lucid dreaming so that we may be clear, in that state, of what we want to occur.

Healing wise, it would help with issues in the area of the throat, insomnia, eyes, ears, sinuses and colds." Mira Bai via Crystal Communications

Agate: Agates provide for balancing of the yin-yang energies and for balancing the physical, emotional and intellectual bodies with the etheric energies.

Activates and stimulates the throat and crown Chakras. Enhances mental acuity and clarity. Helps one to realize that all that one teaches, one also learns.

Agatized Coral occurs when silica in the ocean water hardens, replacing the limy corals with a form of quartz mineral known as chalcedony. This long fossilization process (20-30 million years) results in the formation of a "pseudomorph," meaning that one mineral has replaced another without having lost its original form. This type of Coral can be used to support trauma therapy and assists in working through emotional issues from dysfunctional families or relationships.

Ajoite is a master integrator, specifically addressing issues of discord. Also known as the "Phoenix Rising" stone, it assists in the spiritual evolution of humanity, not only as an individual, but as a whole as well. It is a powerful mineral of transformation and healing in all areas. Melds the heart and throat Chakras so that one may truly speak from the heart. Provides peace, joy and acceptance.

It enhances the rebirth of both the inner and the outer self, providing impetus to expedite the changing ones world while producing the qualities of expansiveness, creativity, and awareness in the realm of manifestation. The energy of the crystalline form is especially conducive to the art of manifestation.

Amethyst, Chevron: Assists with inner self-evaluation and evolution. It allows one to gain knowledge in spiritual healing. Placing a piece of chevron amethyst on a chakra serves to release the tensions held there and to energize the areas, which may be static. For those who feel a lot of negativity around them or an area, this piece is a wonderful expeller of such energies.

Amethyst, Spirit Quartz: Amethyst clusters from the Magaliesberg area of South Africa. As far as we know amethyst crystals in this form before have not been found anywhere else in the world. They are characterized by the tiny crystals that envelop the base or the main crystal. The name Spirit Amethyst is now emerging. They are also being called angel, fairy, porcupine and Cactus Quartz and Cactus Amethyst. These amethyst rock specimens are being marketed as a brand new find but in fact have been a well-kept secret. They appear in the book "Minerals of South Africa" with a photo dating back to 1987. The mine location of the digs has always been a closely kept secret and for some time these unusual crystals disappeared into the "myths" of time. Suddenly they are available again but the exact location of the mine still remains a mystery.

Encourages and supplements ones survival techniques. It has been used in the treatment of disorders of lungs and limbs and can be quite helpful in the rectification of degenerative disorders.

Amphibole Quartz is actually not a singular name for one mineral specimen, but instead a name for a particular grouping of minerals. These particular specimens contain phantoms of Limonite, Kaolinite and Hematite and have been named Angel Phantom Quartz by the metaphysical community.
The phantoms within can appear to look like Angel wings or floating Angels. The energy of this piece will allow communications and connection with Angelic Guides. It would definitely be a piece that would raise your own vibrations to connect with the higher vibrations of Guides, Guardians and Angelic Messengers.

Andalusite: Allows one to view the different facets of ones character (emotional, physical and intellectual) while remaining grounded and unbiased about the results. Encourages rationality when looking at an issue. It is a stimulant to memory and recollection, promoting expertise in allegorical interpretation and providing for clarity of material received from ancient texts. Helps in recovery when one feels thrown out of balance. Since this is a type of Fairy Cross Stone (Staurolite) it is also a talisman of good luck. Can facilitate the actions of ritual and ceremony. It also can eliminate depression and addictive personality traits and provide overpowering relief in stress.

Anorthosite is the accepted name for phaneritic igneous rocks that consist of 90 per cent or more calcic plagioclase feldspar (i.e., Labradorite, bytownite or anorthite), 0 - 5 percent quartz and less than 10 percent mafic minerals (e.g., some pyroxene(s)). The name Anorthosite comes from anorthose, an old -- now obsolete -- name for triclinic feldspars (which includes all plagioclase feldspars).

And after all that scientific jargon I have to say that these are just plain cool!!! Instead of having sheets of "fire" like you would see in most Labradorites, these have little star like sparkles of color throughout.

For simplicity sake, we will use the metaphysical properties of Labradorite here even though these little beauties, I believe, will share additional properties with each holder.

Labradorite gives us strength of will and a feeling of inner worth. It strengthens and protects our aura and aids us in communicating with our highest self and with the creator. "…It is said to represent the 'temple of the stars', assisting one in sustaining and maintaining, while providing for the understanding of the destiny one has chosen. It facilitates the transformation of intuition into intellectual thought such that one can implement the instructions provided.

Antimony: Antimony stimulates advancement in all areas of pursuit, giving one the tenacity needed to pursue all areas of interest. Encourages to progress with speed. Stimulates access to an instinctive knowledge of the most efficient plan of action. The health benefits are profound. It has been used as an antitoxin, reduces fevers and swelling, and is great for those who have water retention issues. Simply hold this specimen or place it on the area of concern and sit quietly. Since it is of a metallic nature, I would not recommend using this in any type of elixir.

Antlerite: This stone is used to open the heart chakra and provide a working connection between the heart (emotions/love) and the mind. This connection helps to promote an unbiased evaluation of ones feelings and to provide for a loving evaluation of ones thoughts. Can be used to stimulate the thought process and enhance mental clarity. Produces a melding of the heart and mind.

Apache Tear (Obsidian): This is an excellent grounding stone and provides for a connection from the base of the spine to the heart of the Earth.

Carrying or wearing Obsidian assists in dispersing those unloving thoughts which arise from within the self or are directed toward ones physical form. It is very useful in healing, providing both the healer and the subject with clarity in respect to both the cause and the amelioration of the disease.

Apatite, Pink: Enhances intellect, focus, learning, acceptance, oceanic consciousness, unconditional love, fosters peace and harmony through communication and communion with our higher selves. Apatite can enhance the "coming to results" so works very well with other crystals. Pink Apatite is not as common a find. The pink Apatite is a crystal of blessings.

Green Apophyllite can be used to activate the heart chakra and to provide energy and forthrightness in decisions of the heart. Allows one to absorb the energies one needs from the universal supply of perfect energy. Stimulates a joyful glee.

Aqua Aura: What makes an "Aqua Aura" quartz is the process by which the crystal is artificially bonded with gold, which produces a more intense color.

Aqua Aura heals, cleanses and relaxes the aura, releasing any stress and repairing any healing holes. It then activates the Chakras.

Atlantean Seed Crystals: During the time of Atlantis (before the fall), these crystals were used to record information and keep it safe until the information was ready to once again be accessed in this time frame. These crystals were then "seeded" throughout the planet, waiting for those who once used them to find them again and open the library of information found within. Those who feel they may have been Atlantean in a former life are usually very drawn to these crystals today. It is a kind of remembrance, a connection, a reunion of sorts.

Aventurine,Pink In general, Aventurine brings prosperity, diffuses negativity and balances the male/female or yin/yang energies. The pink Aventurine however, seems to go above the physical, five sensory level. It rises past the eighth chakra of universal love allowing one to embrace not only the physical vehicle in which we reside, but also allowing absolute love of our higher self/soul/divine being. To me, it is like a favorite warm, fuzzy blanket, embracing and enfolding one in joy and love.

Aventurine, White This awesome white Aventurine with the mica sparkles comes to us from Canada. The properties of both Aventurine and mica would apply for this stone. Mica "…Provides reflective qualities so that one can recognize the flaws of humanity and can remain in a heart space to continue to love this same humanity. Used to facilitate clarity in visions.

Bismuth*: "Bismuth is an element which is a semi-metal. It is a member of the arsenic group along with the elements antimony and arsenic. It is a silver colored heavy metal in nature which cannot express its crystalline structure without recrystallization help from humans. Bismuth does not crystallize naturally, because it is usually too crowded by host rock to form as a crystal. When expressing itself in recrystallized rainbow iridescence, it is excellent for focus, visualization and Shamanic journeying. It aids in shapeshifting.

Upon activation of these crystals we can learn the secrets of how to be in a physical body and in a material world, yet not be bound to it. When the Earth Keepers are in a state of complete activation their very presence will create greater awareness and expanded thinking. It would be of most benefit if these crystals were used in healing centers, communities, or group gatherings where many people could be exposed to their energies.

When the Earth Keepers are worked with in a group meditation they will assist individuals in expanding their concept of "self" to include all the persons participating in the meditation.

With all persons vibrating at the same frequency around the great Earth Keepers, we will be taught how to become "the keepers of the earth" and a tremendous elevation for this planet will result. As individuals learn to unite into groups in this way, the unification of the human race into one being will be just a step away. The impersonality that the Earth Keeper Crystals teach is not one of indifference, but rather of committed concern - to the degree of letting go of individual ego interests in order to dedicate time, space, energy and focus towards unity.

When this occurs human consciousness will totally reawaken to the realities that are now beyond comprehension. The Earth Keepers are part of that awakening and will inspire our latent potential and stimulate the dormant areas of our brains to embrace our ultimate destiny. Terra is becoming of age.

The inside of the crystal is ice clear. It is as if the dusts of time need to be wiped off of them. When these crystals are activated, they will again serve to channel higher cosmic frequencies onto the planet, enabling accomplishments of conscious attunement and alignment with those forces. Their activation is dependent upon emergence with human thought forms."

For the large Earth Keepers (50 or more pounds-the really HUGE ones)-"When twenty one people of like mindedness gather around the Earth Keeper in a circle, hold hands, and become of same mind, the crystal will reawaken and the line of communication into the cosmic regions will be opened. The individuals forming the circle around the great Earth Keepers will unite their vibrational frequencies to become like molecules in a crystal, in sync with cosmic energy. That willingness to let go of the personal ego sense of self and consciously merge into a greater whole is exactly the element needed to activate the Earth Keepers and link our collective consciousness to the knowledge, information, and energy that would otherwise be unattainable."

For the smaller, single pieces that I normally sell on the website, you can do this on a smaller scale. Simply hold your earthkeeper, keeping the mind focused on the higher intent/purpose of the Earth Keeper. Let go of all ego and personal sense of self/individuality and consciously merge into the greater whole. This will activate your crystal and heighten your vibrational frequency to that of the cosmic energies. Then, with pure intent, you too, will be able to access the knowledge of the collective consciousness.

From Crystal Enchantments by DJ Conway, we learn, "...opal is made up of tiny spheres of amorphous silica gel, which gives it its 'fire' and play of colors. A non-crystallized stone, the opal can dry out and crack. A delicate stone, opal can have as much as 30% of its body weight in encapsulated water." This explains why too much heat can cause an opal to lose water. This also explains why too much heat can cause an opal to lose its luster, or why moving from hot to cold will sometimes crack the surface. Too much pressure can also cause cracking. Some of the many ancient beliefs in the fire opal state that the opal can shield the wearer from contagions or warn of poison by losing its color. If worn as a pendant it has been said to relieve melancholy and eye disease. In ancient Greece, the opal was said to give the gift of prophecy.

The burr crystals formed in pockets of rectorite as many single crystals grew and interlocked together. Literally, millions of needle crystals were recovered from pockets of gel-like, rectorite-filled vugs in fractured quartz veins over the 15-year period that the site was open. The best crystals ever to come from this site have several common characteristics: water clear; open interlocked clusters and haystacks (haystacks have no attachment point, they formed as free-floaters in the veins) and brilliant luster. Many of these crystals are multi-terminated on one, if not both ends.

Jeffrey's Quartz, or more commonly known as Solution Quartz is now being revived as one of the most powerful healing crystals to date. Healers of every modality are seeking out the Jeffrey's for its amplification properties and long distance healing abilities.

Visualize the Jeffrey's crystal as large as a house. Around the house is a white light protective "bubble". Ask the Jeffrey's to allow you to come into it. Open the door in the bubble and walk up to the "house" -bond with it. Ask it to assist you in your healing modality; say whatever you feel needs to be said. You are now bonded. The crystals healing energies can be amplified or decreased by visualizing radio volume controls, turn it up for more intense or long distance healing and down when it is not in use or for less energy in healing. These are very powerful crystals!!

Pargasite: "When I communicate with a crystal, many times, I get visual pictures in my head. When I held Pargasite, I had to laugh. What I "got" was a picture of a grumpy old man, short, balding, white hair with a smirk on his face. He is sitting in a huge recliner looking at the TV. He is never really happy and spends most of his day complaining. He has an answer for everything and it is always bad. He is a skeptic, a judge of humanity and just plain rude. (If the grumpy old man does not do it for you, think of Maxine, the female version of grumpy).

Through this visual, Pargasite shares some of its energy so that I can share my impressions with you. Pargasite can soften even the hardest of hearts. It gently, slowly, removes the wall of protection many have worked years to build. However, Pargasite will not work quickly. It has taken years to build up this defense system around the heart, so Pargasite will work with you, at a pace that is comfortable. There are a lot of issues to face (that wall did not get built over night) work on and release. Pargasite is your gentle support in this healing process. The pale green of Pargasite's energy will surround your heart with the expressing, feeling and sharing of empathy and compassion for self and others.

This is a heart healing crystal to be used for facing, releasing and forgiveness of some of the most powerful experiences in our lives- be it trauma, anger, violence, etc. The things we "hide away" can be safely brought to light with the help of Pargasite, time and an emotional support team. Pargasite will not do it alone, but it can ease the pain.

When holding Pargasite, I hear a song in my head...."this little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine...." and indeed what I see next is the same grumpy old man sitting in his chair, except this time, I am given access to the deepest chamber of his heart, where there is a small green light shining.....and building......Deep within this injured grump is a beautiful, generous, kind and loving soul. His light, shining brightly. This is a crystal of hope and healing, love and comfort, gentle guidance and support. Physically, Pargasite can help with issues of the heart, esophagus, throat and lungs. Carry Pargasite with you throughout the day to keep the "grumps" away and face each moment with a sense of joy, compassion and humor." Channeled during a crystal communication session by Kris/Mira
