Crystal and gemstone properties

Some people believe that crystals (gemstones) have certain beneficial properties and here is a list of the ones I have used in my jewellery. My research comes from The Crystal Bible and The Crystal Bible v2 both by Judy Hall.

 

Agate
These are said to be grounding stones and can bring emotional, physical and intellectual balance to your life. They also have to the power to harmonise yin and yang. They are soothing and calming. It works slowly and brings great strength and can build self-confidence. It is also said to enhance mental function and improve concentration. As far a healing is concerned, it is said to stabilise the aura and eliminate and transform negative energies. It can have a cleansing effect, which is powerful both physically and emotionally. Some say it can help the acceptance of love. It can also stimulate the digestive process and relieve gastritis.

Different colours can have different effect, for example, green enhances emotional flexibility and improves decision-making, pink promotes love between parent and child and should be positioned over the heart. Botswana agate is excellent for people connected with fire or smoke.

Amazonite
This stone is said to have a filtering action and can block geopathic stress, absorb microwaves and cell-phone emanations. It is beneficial to place it between you and the source or tape it to your cellphone, in fact an amazonite phone charm would be ideal. It is soothing and calms the brain and nervous system. It can also balance masculine and feminine energies and aspects of personality. It can soothe emotional trauma, alleviate worry and fear and dispel negative energy and aggravation.

As far as healing is concerned, it can be beneficial in osteoporisis, tooth decay and calcium deficiencies by balancing the metabolic deficiencies that create these problems.

Amber
This stone has strong connections with the earth and is a grounding stone for higher energies. It is said to be a powerful healer and cleanser and draws dis-ease from the body. It is also said to promote tissue revitalisation and cleans the environment and absorbs negative energies.
Psychologically, it brings stability to life and motivates by linking what is wished for and the drive to achieve it. It may also help to counteract suicidal or depressive tendencies. It may stimulate intellect, clear depression, promote positive mental state and creative self-expression.
Emotionally, it encourages peacefulness and develops trust and spritually promotes altruism and brings wisdom.

In healing it is said to allow the body to rebalance and heal itself. It can alleviate stress. It is said to resonate with the throat chakra and treats goiters and throat problems. It may also treat stomach, spleen, kidneys, bladder, liver and gallbladder. May alleviate joint problems and strengthen mucus membranes.

Wear it for prolonged periods on the wrist or throat, or place as appropriate, for example where the problem is.

Amethyst
This a poweful and protective stone and guards against psychic attack. It is a natural tranquiliser and blocks geopathic stress and negative environmental energies. It has strong healing and cleansing properties and was worn to prevent drunkenness as it has a sobering effect. It is also said to help overcome addictions. It can be calming or stimulating depending on which is appropriate. It can make one feel less scattered, more focused and more in control of their faculties. It can also aid decision-making by bringing in common sense. It can proctect from recurring nightmares, dispel nger, rage, fear and anxiety and can alleviate sadness and grief.

As far as healing is concerned, it can boost hormone production and tunes the endocrine system and metabolism. It can cleanse the blood, ease headaches, reduce bruising, injuries and swelling. It has been used to treat hearing disorders, insomnia and helps bring restful sleep.

In order to do this, one should wear it as jewellery, or place where the problem is. It is beneficial worn over the heart or throat and for insomnia and nightmares place it under the pillow.

Aquamarine
This is a stone of courage and has calming energies which reduce stress and quiets the mind.
