EarthKeeper: According to Katrina Raphael's Crystal Healing book, when the Earth Keeper Crystals are activated, they will again serve to channel higher cosmic frequencies onto the planet, enabling accomplishment of conscious attunement and alignment with those forces.

"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 unity of mind, oneness of heart, and synchronicity of spirit, the power that a group has to create positive change multiples a thousand fold. The Earth Keepers can teach us how to shift our one-track focus and realize the multiple potentials that can be created when we learn to see beyond our noses and witness the greater scheme of things. 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.

These crystals evoke positive action. They create harmony. They are here to unite us with the source from which we sprang and to teach how to maintain our connection with both the earth and the heavens. These crystals carry within them the memory of being transported here and can potentially teach us the art of time travel. They can teach us how to maintain a physical existence and also release our identity to it as we soar the higher dimensions of reality. As a race we are ready. Ready again to take a giant step in evolution and assist in aligning the earth entity Terra to the cosmic rays emanating from the great central sun at the core of the galaxy. 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. She is ready to cross the threshold into maturity and adulthood and become one with the vast expanse of cosmic space of which she is a vital part.

Earth Keepers are one of the oldest crystals on the earth and have a strong earth resonance, meaning it is tuned in to the Earth system needs and balances. They originate from Namibia and are most commonly seen in an elestial configuration. Placing an Earth Keeper in a room will anchor the energy. Burying one outside of your Home or placing in a special place will purify the area, transmuting any negative energy into positive. These would be wonderful in a healing or meditation room!! We are just now beginning to understand the power of the Earth Keeper."

Activation of the Earth Keepers: Also from Katrina Raphael-"The Earth Keeper Crystals, when mined, are in an inactive state and have a thick, milky frosting on the surface. 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, 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.
