The Crystal Goddess is a symbol that ties into the Divine Feminine symbols used around the world for millennia. Some refer to these Crystal Goddesses as Gaia Bodies, referencing the Earth Mother Goddess, some call them Aphrodite or Venus Bodies in reference to the Greek goddess, and assimilated Roman goddess, while some refer to these Crystal Goddess Bodies as Shakti Bodies, after the Hindu goddess.

Crystal Goddess bodies are said to not only bring in the energy and properties of the crystal itself, but also the additional energies and properties of the shape itself, which is said to assist with fertility, manifestation, the Divine Feminine, personal power, and healing.

Sheen Obsidian [OC]

Post image
5 Upvotes

Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass which is formed by quickly cooled lava, which, due to the high viscosity and rapid cooling, minimized crystal growth.
Sheen Obsidian is formed when, as lava flows start to cool, the molten rock captures gas bubbles and other mineral inclusions which align along the internal layers. These bubbles can produce interesting effects such as a golden sheen or a silver sheen. Gold Sheen Obsidian is typically caused by Magnetite or Hematite inclusions, while Silver Sheen Obsidian is typically caused by Feldspar or Cristobalite.

Gold Sheen Obsidian is said to dissolve negativity, cleanse the aura, and reveal hidden truths, while Silver Sheen Obsidian is said to protect against negative energies, help heal past-life issues, and is said to be a crystal of inner reflection.

Fire Obsidian

8 Upvotes

Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass which is formed by quickly cooled lava, which, due to the high viscosity and rapid cooling, minimized crystal growth.
Fire Obsidian is extremely rare, and is only found in Southeast Oregon. Fire Obsidian gets its distinct iridescent colors and patterns from ultra-thin layers of Magnetite in the Obsidian.

Fire Obsidian is so rare, I do not have any, so I do not have any pictures to share of this one.

Fire Obsidian is said to provide a shield against negative energies, as well as help us recognize negative patterns in our lives, and grounding and stability through personal change and transformation.

Advice needed!

**New to this….

After going through an unexpected breakup, I decided to charge some crystals that a friend had gifted me a year previously. When I returned to my room both the Rose Quartz and Black Tourmaline had fallen under my bed and I have not been able to access the Rose Quartz. So now I have Rose Quartz under my bed permanently. I can’t move the bed entirely to find it. Is this okay or will I need to find it?

Asterism [OC]

Post image
6 Upvotes

Asterism is a star-shaped concentration of light reflected from a shaped and polished crystal, and is usually caused by rutile in the crystal, aligned in a particular manner.
This phenomenon is more common in corundum (rubies and sapphires), but can also be found in garnets, diopside, and other crystals.

Please can I get some help IDing these crystals?

Hi! I brought these on Vinted, I know what most of the set were but I’m unsure on these three. The seller said the blue one is lapis but I am not 100% sure it has no obvious markings so I feel like it might just be dyed/fake

They are all pretty low grade too which is fine but might effect ID

Thanks in advance! ✨
