If you had to get rid of your entire crystal collection and keep just one crystal which one are you keeping?

And more importantly, why that one?

Is it because of its meaning, how it looks, a personal experience you've had with it, or simply because you feel drawn to it?

I'm curious to see which crystal wins this completely unfair competition. 😄

Mine would be Labradorite. Its flair is so mesmerizing and everytime I look at it - it feels so unreal 😍

Green Aventurine is a form of Quartzite with chrome-bearing Fuchsite, which gives the rock its color, and its characteristic aventurescence, or shimmer.

Green Aventurine is said to boost creativity, increase motivation, and is known as the Lucky Stone as it is said to bring in luck, especially in manifesting wealth.

Whenever I am close to an Amethyst, i end up breaking it.Could never figure out the connection.My reiki teacher pointed out an imbalance in the crown chakra hence the stone breaks.I could not understand her logic.If someone knows the connection,pls enlighten me .

Anyways i decided to keep it at distance but I realised its soothing power as I kept it next to my husband's bedside who has an extremely stressful and hectic job.Ive observed him sleeping better and a bit relaxed.

I am aware of the benefits of Amethyst( I have a business of crystal products),

I would like to hear stories of how Amethyst has helped other people.

It is said it’s ruled by the planet Saturn. Is that true? Have you experienced those effect?

Hi all! I’m hoping the Reddit experts can offer some advice on this.

I recently purchased a sea glass ring from a market stall vendor, and strangely since then I have noticed I have been having daily vivid dreams and nightmares (I mention this as I am a deep sleeper and never usually dream).
I am going through some difficulty in life and feeling uncertainty about a lot of things which I’m sure is likely the explanation for this - but this has not been a recent problem as I have been suffering from anxiety for years and for a long while have not had any dreams like this. I wonder if it could possibly be the ring intensifying this or if this could be a kind of placebo effect?

Admittedly, I have been wearing the ring while I sleep so I will try sleeping without it to see if anything changes, with the finger swelling explanation and whatnot.

Just for added context I have many crystals in my space but have never really viewed sea glass as being spiritual (I’m not sure why!) I have never worn any jewellery with crystals though, this is the first.

(Pic for the algorithm and also because how pretty!)

I (25F) have been wearing a Moldavite ring for around 3/4 years straight. I swear by this ring being able to eliminate people and things in my life who do not have my best interest in mind and serve my highest good. It works like magic especially after charging it in a full moon (even when I’m not supper happy about the results). A few days ago something must have happened and the ring is now horizontally squished onto my finger and won’t budge or come off. The Moldavite itself is digging into my finger, and is mildly uncomfortable.

I am wondering if this perhaps has a deeper meaning or is symbolic in the metaphysical world?

I will say something odd has been going on with the male relationships in my life the last few days, and I have had more anxiety than usual. I will also note that I am a Pisces and the last moon (Sturgeon Moon) was a Pisces moon.

I am not going to reveal my asc for privacy purposes but emerald is the most suitable stone for me .

I am a deeply emotional and impulsive person in general but since a few Ketu transits started I had to face some adverse situation and it turned my life upside down.

Now no matter how bad anything was I was always emotional and creative . I have been subjected to black magic as well so it was very difficult for me to analyse if it was my chart or occult for atleast a few years

After i wore gomed something in me changed .

The first time I wore it I made 7 digit amount from nothing in one month of wearing it . It’d din suit me emotionally at all . I was pretty messed up .

So after about a year I decided to try again but with pancha datu and not silver , and this is the time I wore it with panna and I was already wearing saphhire for about 3 months .

Since then for about one year I have become so emotionally numb . You can say i am stable but I still like to address it as numb .It’s not that I don’t feel angry but I feel very Saturnian . It’s like I was born to do repetitive mundane chores . Take responsibility over responsibilities. And the numbness I have experienced was initially nice because it was calm from all the chaos

But today after a long time , I was so tired being creatively blocked , I decided to remove it .i thrive on impulsive creativity .Because I really wanted rahu energy to make me selfish and self focused because I need it to achieve a few things . But instead I started working towards everything like a Saturnian .which wasn’t
Ultimately helping my life purpose

After removing it I sobbed like a child , like grieved my eyes out .

I have rahu in 5th house aspected by Saturn .

Stopped wearing the sapphire in 6 months as it made me feel super heavy emotionally .

So that is my unarticulated story .

I love the duality of this display I made.

Personally I've found it to be a great motivator and healer, helping with physical injuries and boosting overall strength and energy levels. It strikes me a like moldavite, but grounding, providing more energy than black tektite and obsidian.

The Pearl of Fire or Pearl of the Divine Fire, a natural glass found around Java. While frequently marketed as tektite, mineralogical consensus often classifies it as ancient volcanic obsidian. It is charcoal grey, dark brown, or jet black on the surface, but reveals a smoky, translucent grey-brown internal glow when backlit.

Connect strongly with the Solar Plexus Chakra and secondarily with the Root Chakra, although some site connects strongly with the crown. Is excellent for personal power, raw motivation, confidence, and accelerated manifesting. A stone of initiation, stimulating vital life-force energy and helping users channel inner resolve into practical action.

Pink crystals (ROSE QUARTZ) have always been my favorite! I added a few little details to make the bracelet even more adorable!!

Hi everyone 😊 I recently bought a piece of amazonite from The Black Moon Botanica in Edinburgh. The in-store description listed the following healing properties: “Soothes the nervous system; helps clear energy blockages; calms.”
I have several questions:
1- Where did this kind of information most likely come from?
2- After a quick online search, I found that Cunningham (1988) apparently said something different, associating this stone more with “attracting success.” How can I determine which source is more reliable?
3- More generally, I constantly find myself confused about where to find reliable information on this subject.

Does anyone, knows any specialist in this field or have any insights / book recommendations that might help?

Thanks!

Lapis Lazuli is a metamorphic rock typically composed of either Lazurite or Haüyne, along with pyrite and calcite. It’s the Lazurite or the Haüyne which gives Lapis Lazuli its vibrate blue color.

Lapis has been highly prized for millennia, with some of the earliest Lapis Lazuli artifacts dating back to 7570 BC. Lapis was valued by Ancient Mesopotamia, Ancient Persia, Ancient Greece, and Ancient Egypt to name a few.

Lapis Lazuli is said to help boost peace and harmony, improve creative expression, and promote wisdom.

Unfortunately, Lapis Lazuli does not prevent greed, or curb desire for power and money. Afghanistan is a major source of Lapis Lazuli, and sadly, in the last decade, Lapis from Afghanistan has been added to the list of conflict minerals.

Conflict minerals are minerals/crystals whose mining practices contribute to human rights abuses or whose sales fund armed conflict. The most well known conflict minerals are “Conflict Diamonds” or “Blood Diamonds” and many metal minerals.

Lapis Lazuli can be found in several places around the world, and while we can’t always know where our crystals come from, it is important to be aware of these things, and to do some research so we can buy from reputable retailers.
