Also I felt that a amethyst stone would help?

Yes Sue, I am having a few little inner conflicts at the moment so maybe it is that! I can think of three situations where I'm pulled in two directions ("do I do THIS or do I do THAT?"). My horoscope for the other day said I would experience this so I'm just trying to go with what seems right and let the feeling pass. I hadn't thought these things were too major but maybe they've affected me more than I thought. Interesting.

Also, yes Anita I've had my period the last couple of days! But I don't usually get headaches because of it.

Established scientific research has yet to prove any causal effects of crystals on any medical condition.

Established scientific research has yet to prove any causal effects of crystals on any medical condition.

It is important to make these points initially as it would be wrong to attempt to give false hope to people who may find themselves in desperate situations.

All the writings on crystals can best be described as ‘lore’ and should be read and considered as such.

Science has established, though, that crystals vibrate at constant frequencies. Quartz, for example, is used in watches because of this very fact. A crystal is also used in some gas lighters as it is able to produce a spark when a force is applied to it. This is known as the piezo-electric effect where an electric field is produced when a crystal is squeezed or stretched. This effect was discovered in 1927 by an engineer called Warren Marrison. He realised that by applying a voltage to certain crystals they would vibrate at a constent rate of anything between 33,000 to over 4 million times per second. So the fact that crystals do have energetic properties is well known, but the question is whether this energy is able to have any physical, mental or spiritual effect on living things.

People who use crystals regularly certainly believe they do. There is also evidence that crystals have been used for thousands of years. Whether this is some kind of placebo effect is hard to establish, but even the medical profession today recognise that the mind can have an important influence on general wellbeing.

Whether this is some kind of placebo effect is hard to establish, but even the medical profession today recognise that the mind can have an important influence on general wellbeing. All living things have a life force. Whether or not one believes in a soul, this force can still be experienced in terms of heat and electrical energy for example. Medical science use various instruments to measure and monitor these energies. From the simple thermometer to the very high-tech equipment used to monitor heart rate or brain activity.

These energies emit a field around the body. Body heat, for example, can be detected from some distance. Many people believe this can be seen as an aura – a colourful area of energy around living things that can give an indication of wellbeing. The aura is believed to have different layers moving outwards from the body. The table below indicates these layers and the meaning attached to it.

From innermost layer:

1 Etheric Reflects the general state of the body
2 Astral Emotions and feelings
3 Mental Thoughts
4 Higher
Mental Intuition
5 Spiritual Essence of self

Ancient Indian cultures believed in Chakras. These are energy centres found in the Etheric layer of the aura. Although there are many points they believed in seven main centres. These correspond to seven points along the mid-line of the body.

1 Base Base of spine Jasper / Hematite
2 Sacral Below naval Carnelian
3 Solar plexus Just below ribcage Citrine
4 Heart Centre of chest Aventurine / Malachite / Rose Quartz
5 Throat Base of neck Turquoise / Aquamarine / Sodalite
6 Third Eye Centre of brow Sodalite / Amethyst
7 Crown Top of head Amethyst / Quartz

They believed a chakra was a vortex of energy spinning at its own rate. The fastest being the crown and the slowest the base. Although each chakra was seen to influence different parts of the body or mind, they were believed to be inter-related so that if one chakra was not correct that could have a negative influence on the others. Their aim was to have all seven chakras in perfect balance.

Where crystals have their own individual vibrational quality it is believed that they are able to interact and influence the different layers of the aura and the chakra energy centres. It is believed that negative or stagnant energy can accumulate in the aura which can have an adverse effect on the person. Releasing or freeing this negative energy can help to create and maintain a state of physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.

My moonstone came back to me this afternoon, btw. I went to the crystal shop this afternoon to get a new moonstone but I couldn't relate to any of them... how lucky that my original one came back later today!

Gem, I think you are carrying a large burdan. (It is easy to see in your post here) We are only given what we can handle. Follow your own heart and instincts.

So sometimes crystals can give us a quick pick me up, or heal a headache. However too much of this electrical energy can cause sickness or even death!

Perhaps when your chakras are out of balance, you can handle and need the vibrational frequency of a crystal. But if you are already "balanced" the crystals produce an energy "overload." The first thing Docs do when your heart stops beating is jive you a jolt of electricity. Notice how everyone else is told to back off.
Give that same electric shock to someone who doesn't need it and you fry them. (Electric chair)
When I was overstimulated by smaller amounts of this electrical energy, the first thing that happened was I get a burning sensation around the psychic centers in my brain, then I got a massive headache I had to have a healer get rid of the extra energy.

Having a lot of crystals near your bedstand can also cause headaches as well.

I was at a gem show and touched a huge quartz crystal that had been sitting in the sun for days. (totally energized by the sun)
When I touched the crystal I got a good jolt, my heartbeat was irregular for a few seconds.
So, I'm not saying don't use them or wear them, just be careful how large and how long.

I went to the crystal shop today with rose quartz in mind again... I wanted to get one for someone special... but I was sidetracked when the guy pointed out to me some new crystals that had arrived. He took one out of the display case for me and I played with it on my third eye... and let me just say, WOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW!!!! My third eye was pulled very strongly, my face got warm, I felt like my head was experiencing something really AMAZING! The guy came over and looked at me and he said my eyes were sparkling... I really did feel alive! I looked up the crystal in one of the books there and it's one that is supposed to be connected with angels. It connects the heart chakra with the third eye, crown and higher crown... I'm still kind of spaced out. Ironically I now can't remember the name of the crystal, I think it might start with 'd' and it's clear/white with a tinge of very pale pink... can anyone help me remember? It's now sitting in the relationship corner of my room. I love it... it's the most amazing crystal I've ever experienced.

Danburite's healing properties work well with the Vision and Heart Chakras. (for those of you not familiar with the Vision Chakras, they are located behind the eyes. The eyes can be used in healing as well as for visualization and manifesting our needs. The Vision Chakras are considered to be "minor centers" but are important for psychic healers.)

Do you think this could be why my eyes were sparkling?

It is a very powerful stone with the description you gave above.
I have a piece that has been sitting around so I put it to my third eye chakra to see if I experienced the same sensation myself. I did. This stone is not recommended to place on the third eye, because of overstimulation. It is recommended to place on your heart chakra or above your head.
You can also hold it in your hands as you meditate.

A little note on crystals. Before looking for a crystal or stone, know what you intend on using it for. Take it home, wash it with a little warm water and let stand in the sun for a day. This cleanses the crystal of any negetive energies it may have picked during it's lifetime.
Next, you need to empower the stone with the intentions you plan to use it for. It's nice to do this at night with a candle lit. Only use the stone for the intentions you empower it for.
If you want to use it for more than one purpose, program that in as well. But before you work with the crystal, say out loud before you use it, what your intentions for the crystal are for that session.

You can also smudge the stone with sage to remove negeting energies.

I suggest you pick up a good crystal book or two. One I recommend is The Crystal Bible by Judy Hall. The other is Crystal, Gem and Metal magic by Scott Cunningham. They explain all the hows and whats of crystal devination. They also are very descriptive in the metaphysical uses of stones. Cleanse your crystals about once a month.

Do not use the crystal to make a gem elixer until you have enough knowledge about the crystal!!! Some are toxic, they can KILL!

NEVER make a gem elixer if the crystal stil has part of the rock it came from attached!

So far the only gems I will use for an elixar are tumbled amythest, quartz, and herkimer diamond. TUMBLED!

Today though I was having an unbelievably bad day, and just felt like getting some new ones. I went to a store in a mall here that has crystals and wicca items, but I couldn't get a feeling from ANYTHING!!! I never can, I don't know what's with the crystals in that store, and I get creepy vibes from the people working there. So I left and went to this more hidden shop that I love, and ran my hand over those crystals and got quite a few different vibes. I needed something calming and found this pretty blue lace agate! I had to go through the entire bin but the one I got warmed my hand right up and was tingly.

Then I spotted something out the corner of my eye and there was a pretty dark purple and white agate and I just had to get it.

How about these crystals???

Try using blue lace and rose quartz. Helped me and my mum heaps with migraine headaches. Actually this is what made me trust crystals because it was the first time that it physically helped.

I had an amethyst get rid of my headache. It has only worked for me once though.
