Does any know the effects of certain crystals/precious stone on a person or different areas of the body? Like using clear crystal, Moonstone, garnet, turquoise, amethyst, etc. What I would like to know what does it mean when I stone feels heavy or HOT on certain areas of the body? And also if anybody has a preference with metals such as copper, silver, gold, platinum or stones? Like I can wear certain stones on my left and not on my right hand or vice versus. Or I usually I have no problem on wearing any type of stone with a very long chain but if I wear it on my chest like a chocker when I start to get busy, tired or stressed the stone feels hot, and heavy even if I switch the stone and I out it on the back of my neck. So I am just wondering would it be because I am wearing it wrong or it is an indication of something else? I was always told that the stone should be touching the skin and once in a while I do clean it either by the moon or by water. I am open to sharing any types of ideas.

Hi Muse1!!!
A excellent reference for gemstones, metals ,ect is Mary Summer Rain. In particular "The Singing Web", but her other books are filled with enlightening info too.
A good example is for moonstone: Symbology, spiritual talents, insight. It`s influencing energy: strengthens energy os spiritual abilities & increases depth of insight.
She states that "The gem is pure in and of it`s self and needs no cleansing as it gives rather than receives... That they do not get dirty or full or run out of energy."
Placement of gem should simply be in close proxcimity of the area to be treated.
I don`t believe you can wear them wrong, but perhaps it`s too much particular energy than that which is needed & you are super sensitive to the energies. Kind of like the purple plates, If left too long, can cause ones nervous system to accelerate & become too busy. Some can sleep with them and benefit while if I sleep with one, my mind & body become restless.
Maybe the wearing the gems/stones over the throat chakra is too much stimulation? I`d love to hear more on this great subject!! Knowflakes .....

Hi Muse

In the healing I practice we use stones of the same colour as the chakra to charge it if it is underactive and the opposit colour stone to calm it down if it is overactive. What stone are you wearing around your throat? Like you say cleaning and charging your stones are important. They like the full moon but also the sun to charge after cleaning them in salt water or running water.

Lots of love

Hi Moonshadow,
I really am not sure what is going on. I used to be able to wear anything and it would not bother me. But when I am at the office some of the stones like rose quartz feels hot or it even hurts when I start to get tired or stressed out. Also Moon shadow I left something in the other forum for you.
Juniperb
Actually moonstone w/ amethyst the combination feels good on me. I also like wearing my copper ring. For some reason lately I have been quite sensitive having a lot a “déjà vu” so I am not sure if one of the stones is just over driving my system. I will read the book it sounds very interesting.
Thanks a lot everyone

Hello Muse,

I have a book which lists the different gems that correspond to the body's chakras or energy centres. I'll try and dig it up tonight and post it for you. Offhand, Rose Quartz activates your Heart chakra and Amethyst your Third Eye.

I wear an amethyst and a turqoise pendant - they are the gems corresponding to my birth and name numbers. To recharge them I simply place them on my purple plate for about 15 minutes each time.

I have held the amethyst a few inches from the brow for lots of people. They all react differently - but they all react! Personally, sometimes I feel a mild tingling/buzzing, and at other times I don't feel anything.
I have a friend who completely freaked out after a few seconds of holding the stone in front of her forehead. She said she had a headache for a while after, and the next morning she still felt like she had a hole in the centre of her forehead.
She refuses to let me do it again!! Though she merrily volunteers other people for me to do it to!!

The stone shouldn't be blocked by the setting in which it's put. It should be open at the back so that it's vibrations can benefit you.

Hi Aquamoon,
Thanks for the advice, but I don’t know much about purple plates how do I use it to clean my stones. By the way what’s the name of your book? I actually like wearing moonstone & amethyst.

Hello again, Muse!

Moonstone and amethyst, ha? You must be a real dreamer! You chose a good nic.

The Purple Plate method of recharging my stones is simply my own variation. I don't know anyone else who uses this method. I just place the stones on the plate for a little while.

The name of the book is "The Healing Power of Crystals" by Cass and Janie Jackson. You might want to check it out before buying it, though, because I've just caught a few discrepancies.

Anyway, here's the list.

To activate:

The Crown Chakra - Clear Quartz

The 3rd Eye Chakra - Amethyst/Sodalite

The Throat Chakra - Sapphire

The Heart Chakra - Rose Quartz

The Solar Plexus - Topaz/Amber/Rutilated Quartz

The Sacral Chakra - Tiger's Eye/Carnelian/Sunstone

The Root Chakra - Smoky Quartz

Take care!

Hi Aquamoon,
Yeah you could say I am a dreamer I am a big believer of ”if the mind can conceive it you can achieve it”. For some reason it gives me a lot of inner peace. I am going to try to check out the site for purple plates and see if I can get that book. So lets see how soon my dreams come true. Thanks info.

Hi guys
I just wanted to give a little update… Well I have switched some of my stones. I wear a lot more clear quartz and Amethyst I feel pretty good with it. I think the moonstone was picking up a lot of things I kept having a lot of dreams “déjà vu” I even had a weird vision sooo I pretty much stopped using it for now. I think I should be okay when I am less stressed out I don’t need my brain in over driver anymore than what it is , right? Today there is a big Gem & Mineral Show around here so I am going to go and pick up a few crystals, someone even told that some volcano or meteorites rocks are good I have to look it up I forgot again…. So lets see what I can find and use.
Have a lovely weekend.

My favorite book on crystals is "Love is in the Earth: A Kaleidoscope of Crystals" by Melody. It's mostly metaphysical but they have plenty of healing properties for each crystal. You can look in the index for everything from headaches, to heartburn to virility. =)

and every time i need to touch you... how can i ever break the distance? that's why my love became so strong and pure... that's why i keep on trying forever..

Hi,
I brought a few crystals, blue lace agate, jet, black tourmaline, lapis lazuli, aquamarine, blue sodalite and a few other. I cleaned my black tourmaline and I started using it in my pocket specially when I go to work. I also bought a few more stones but I forgot the names and my sister took my book. I love the real crystals even when I was a kid it is was a good tell the real from the fake now I just need to learn how to use it. Do any of you guys a favorite stone.
Thanks

I love Turquoise. It's so beautiful. I love my amethyst too, but then I get very attached to all my belongings. You should see my room - there's tonnes of garbage in there that I cannot bring myself to throw out!!
You got aquamarine!!! I think it's gorgeous! I've always wanted that stone, but haven't been able to find one I like as yet. You checked the stones for flaws, right? If you don't feel right after using a particular stone for a while, don't use it anymore. Bury it in the ground or whatever.
Just to let you know what to do if you're uncomfortable with one of them - I'm sure they're lovely stones!

Hello Muse1 - thought I'd pop in and there your posting was... How are you doing?
I love gems and crystals ... but I heard that some are good for some signs & enhance positive energy & some can enhance negative energy. Do you know how to apply the stones to the signs...and if you just apply the knowledge to the first 3 major planets or if Chiron is to be looked at also?

I can't live without my Dioptase. It is a brilliant green stone- even more vivid in color than emerald.

I have a poison pill ring adorned with a gorgeous garnet. I have it filled with tiny stones. Right now I have an amethyst and a dioptase chip always with me... and you know...I just feel 'incomplete' when I am without my ring.

I actually had a dream a while back about amethyst. Now, after reading this string, I have some ideas about what to do with it! Thanks -

Now you've made me curious. Want to share that dream with us?
Haa! Just had a thought! The amethyst corresponds to the 3rd eye, so maybe your dream heralds the awakening of your sixth sense! Is that cool or is that cool??? Or maybe it reflects how insightful you have already become- with all the messages you've been getting through your lexis and stuff. Ooh, I'd love to dream about amethyst.

Hi guys
I thought it was just I. By accident I left my moonstone and turquoise under my pillows and I always had dreams…. Well now I know it is just not I. I thought it was stress.. Jejeje.

Interesting. I bought a Picasso jasper in the summer. I wore it a lot in December...and my stress level was super high. It also was a necklace that sat right over my chest and would get really hot.
I was very busy business wise and socially...but I was not getting down time...my nerves where shot often. And had quite a few mental breakdowns.

This is also before I knew about cleansing stones.

So it may to a cleanse, oh I'm not wearing it in the right spot...or the stone needs to be buried. haha

Someone once told me that the fingers represents planets.

I am currently shopping for some stones and found this piece of garnet that I like... but at times I am not sure about it.

Maybe I am getting overwhelmed by the selection and there are too much mindchatter in my head. ):

I'm working with my Amber earrings now. I read that they can cleanse an environment. Good cause my home needs it. Kinda makes me think having some big pieces around the house would be beneficial. They sell big pieces of it at a store near my house...they have a pretty big piece of it that their is a wasp inside of it. I wouldn't want one with bugs in it though. (I do not like bugs) Anyway probably not in my budget. haha

I will have to update you guys on how that is going for me.
but so far
I got sick before I started wearing them, I mean I didn't get hardcore sick. Today my throat isn't sore and it was this morning. And the mucus is almost all out of my system. I just read online that Amber can heal throat problems. I wouldn't give Amber all the credit, though I'm sure it helped.

I have been wearing them a lot but not 24/7...my moods have been self doubting but then soothed and reassured. I also have some tough transits going on right now like Saturn Square Saturn, Jupiter Oppose Moon and Pluto, Uranus Square Jupiter, Mars Oppose Venus....and Saturn will oppose my Sun soon...(in a few days)
So my earrings have some big fish to fry. haha
