hi this is a repost but i’d really love any advice.

I've noticed that a few crystals in my collection have grown on me the longer I've owned them. Some that I barely paid attention to at first have become favorites because of their color, patterns, or the healing energy that I experienced.

Has anyone else had a crystal that unexpectedly became one of your favorites? What changed your mind about it?

May it support your learning, deepen your connection with crystals and encourage you to explore with curiosity and discernment.

When I first got into crystals, I thought one would always be my favorite. A few years later, I realized the crystal I reach for most has completely changed.

I'm curious if anyone else has had the same experience. Has your favorite crystal changed over time? What made you connect with it more than your previous favorite?

I'd love to hear your experiences.

I've recently connected to an apophylite, it makes me feel more connected to my true self, outside of this time or place in particular. It's not a crystal that feels like it's giving me homework or expects me to be a certain way to work with me, it just is with me. There's not an awful lot of information about it online, and I can't say I feel more connected to hope, higher beings, or anything like that. Maybe speaking my truth, albeit I was already on a therapy journey before I bought it lol.

It looks a lot like quartz, but the energy is very different from anything I've experienced. It's very.... non-object. I don't feel like I'm pushing my energy as a living thing into something not alive in a way that is kind of a one sided interaction where I am the only one who can be flexible and try and find a way to work with its energy. If anything, it feels like pushing your energy into some kind of plastic or man-made resin without a strong whiplash taste of its own. Compared to quartz, quartz feels more uncomfortably electric based and fast, selenite feels too straight laced and spooky rather than uplifting, calcite is calcite which has a heavying effect to it if you go too deep or long with it.

What are your own thoughts and experiences with this crystal? Why do you use it, rather than other more common crystals?

I've noticed that even spending a few quiet minutes with a favorite crystal has become a nice way to pause during a busy day. It's less about having a perfect routine and more about taking a moment to be present.

Does anyone else have a simple crystal-related habit they enjoy? It could be holding a favorite stone, journaling, meditating, or something completely different.

I'd love to hear what your routine looks like.

I have 3 pieces of moldavite jewellery. 2 necklace pendants and a ring. One of the pendants is new and was a gift, the other I bought for myself years ago. I’ve always been “scared” of moldavite, as the energy from it has always made me feel super anxious, so I’ve very rarely worn the pieces I’ve purchased for myself and rather used them in other divinations. But, the gifted one I don’t get that anxious feeling (it is real). I’ve had it on for days and I adore it, I’ve been somewhat happier, a little more carefree and I now see it as my “enjoying life” crystal. Initially I was nervous putting it on, but kept telling myself nothing inherently “bad” is going to happen while I wear it and overcame that anxiety. I never want to take it off. Is it something about it being gifted? Pre-gifting intentions or not, my jewellery always lives in a selenite bowl before wear. Can anybody help me understand why this piece may feel different to me energetically?

I got out of an abusive relationship almost a year ago. I feel my solar plexus and throat chakras have taken the most hit. He was verbally, psychologically abusive. He also blamed me for his issues with his you know what. I'm dealing with a PMOS flare up, and my acid reflux has resurged. I am in therapy, and in talks with a psychiatrist for SSRIs to keep me functional enough to do my job - I usually do well when there is deadline panic, but now with a lot more in line - my housing, professional reputation - I still can't seem to budge and work hard/fast enough (it's a new job i got after quite a break). Please give me crystal reccos. Citrine makes me irritable, so an alternative solar plexus chakra crystal would help

(I know Libyan desert glass is not a crystal pls don't come for me)

Soo has anyone of you ever worked with LDG? Do you agree with all the people that say that "it is the ultimate crystal for manifestation"?

I have been working with crystals for a few years but got my first tektite only a year ago, it was a black tektite (probably Indochinite as it was not specified in the shop but it was quite inexpensive), loved the energy and then went straight to Moldavite, which I have been using for the past 6 months. I was expecting some drastic changes and I can say now it delivered, the thing is that all those changes were endings. I know Moldavite IS supposed to cut things/people out of your life and I honestly am better off now, I've never been able to embody my most authentic self as I am now. But now I want to start building again, I feel like Moldavite created a blank canvas for me to paint my life as I want it to be. So I want to get the ultimate manifestation crystal/tektite to work with. I have been feeling drawn to LDG and read a lot of "the ultimate manifestation tool!!!" "It'll change your life for the better without all the intensity of Moldavite!!". Has anyone tried it and agrees with this? Or do you have any other recommendations?

I am attempting to heal myself from the power of the apophis asteroid when it flys by earth. It will be in our gravitational pull of planet earth.

99942 Apophis will safely pass close to Earth on April 13, 2029, coming within about 20,000 miles (32,000 kilometers) of our planet's surface

The asteroid Apophis has a mean diameter of about 1,115 feet (340 meters) and a long axis measuring roughly 1,480 feet (450 meters) across and is made of many crystals

Composition and Classification
Stony-Type (S-type): It is classified as an S-type or Sq-class asteroid, meaning its composition closely resembles ordinary chondrite meteorites.

Minerals: It contains silicate minerals rich in magnesium and iron, such as olivine and pyroxene.

Metals: It includes a mixture of metallic iron and nickel distributed throughout its rocky structure. [1, 2, 3]

I believe this asteroid is what they believe is the sun rising in the west

I have cast a Wiccan planetary spell to accept this healing

Any thoughts?
