turquoise is the one to keep around the most because it is also known as the master healer to help all parts of the body, mind, soul. My favorite stones are Rose Quartz and Citrine. Rose quartz also known as the heart stone or the stone of gentle love holds no negativity at all but dispels it and helps heal any ailment to do with the heart. Citrine also known as the merchant stone is good to keep in your wallet or in a cash register. It is said that if you keep a piece of citrine in your wallet you will never run out of money.
Malachite can also be used as a money stone.
It is also used as a detox and soothing stone but be careful because the dust is toxic if ingested.
It is for the heart chakra
Amazonite Gemstone
Amazonite helps balance the emotions and gives physical stamina.
we have also used malachite as a stone for healing problems with the skeletal structure as well as placing the stones in the four corners of your house for protection.
Amethyst is a good stone for helping get rid of migraines you just place the stone under your pillow to keep migraines away.
Bloodstone (also called heliotrope) is green with distinctive red spots that resemble blood, giving this stone its name. The bloodstone was used to stop bleeding especially nosebleeds.
There is a legend that says the bloodstone was formed from the blood of Christ dripping on the green earth and solidifying. It was also called heliotrope by the Greeks and was thought to bring change. The bloodstone has been used as an amulet to protect against the evil eye. Bloodstone is the symbol of justice.
It is also said that Amazonite can help you recall past lives and or past memorys
there is a stone called smoke quartz or apache's tear drops. It is said that if you have one of these you will never have to cry again because of the apache women who cried for their warriors when they went off to battle and all the tears that they cried turned into these stones. Tiger's eye is also suppose to help with depression
I love that tail of smokey Quartz i use it as a grounding stone along with hematite. Some days i do have to stay on this planet
Thanks that story was told to me when I received my first smoke quartz stone.
Hematite is also good for memory, snowflake obsidian is used to clear the cobwebs of your mind to help you think more clearly. Sodalite also known as the teaching stone is used to help with communication
alot of the stones are used in AA because of the supposed powers. i have to wear crystal and jade.
I don't use stones myself, but I would like to try healing with hot stones, as my aches and pains respond well to heat.
Does anyone recall what that is called ? I don't remember.
Mostly I use rose quartz and turquoise stones. I also use crystal for an allover healing and to prevent minor but common illnesses.
i use clear crystals and when they start to cloud up i know its time to clean them out
Thanks for this thread, I know next to nothing about stones other than they're pretty. Now I know stones to give my mom to help her =)

I have heard of the healin stones just wish I could use some .....
hematite is a grounding stone gives you a focused state. which does effect moods if you are unfocused.
pearlis the finest stabilizer of emotions
they do but hemites can do the same thing and it can also deepen concentration
and it can improve balance too.
Could you use both then? I was always told to use one stone at a time
i love stones :D
i've never used any but one at a time, so i'm interested in hearing the answer to the above question
as for my faves i love snowflake obsidian, because i get lag cramps often
i'm going to have to get some for my blood soon, probably bloodstone and red coral
as for the above Q yes you can use more than 1 stone at a time for different things for instance rose quarts and citrine can take away pain and sooth tention as well.this is only and example but both work well..
Rose Quartz to heal my heart and Amethyst to promote calmness
I would think opal does, i've used it and its helped me
Agate-- an emotional healing stone too and it also brings forth courage,but there are many more uses for this stone .
i n find nothing on opal.
But it is one of the stones i stay away from.
opal is very unlucky if bought for yourself should be given as a gift
O.o I was wondering if you use your birth stone does that make the stones power stronger?
yes it does because of the connection to you...as for the Q on opal if it is your birthstone it will bring you most success when worn ..or meditate with the stone of opal and it will draw in love and faithful conpanionship to as well
Does it need to be given to me, as the saying goes, or is it okay for me to purchase for myself?
for opal and pearl...you can have them given to you..but if you buy it for yourself and cherish it with all your heart and putting all heart into it by charging it will all your emotions of the heart it will work for you both just remember after charging it don't let anyone else touch it .
sorry to interrupt
thank you theunknown for that information on using two stones
and opals must have some quality, it's my mother's birth stone and she's very connected to them. she swears they've actually helped her joints
pearls have been associated with good fortune,
but i believe they have qualities of healing both physical and mental associated with lunar energy... but i'm not sure on specifics
i've also heard of rituals that involve wearing pearls that coincide with the moon cycle.
sorry i don't know more about them though :)
and thank you for all the imformation you have added as well ..
What happens if someone else holds my stone? The pearl after i put my power in it?
Thank you for the info, now I need to find where I buried my jewelry box :p
well darkicewolf after you charge it with your energy ...you don't want anyone else touching it because all energies are not the same and when others touch it ..
it could counter acts what you want to pearl to do for you...
well darkicewolf after you charge it with your energy ...you don't want anyone else touching it because all energies are not the same and when others touch it ..
it could counter acts what you want to pearl to do for you...
yes something like a dream catcher bur as they work on dreams and protection only your pearl can work for the other areas of your being and your life...
Wow I didn't know that. Thank you.
And also, what if you have someone you care for Deeply, and want to look after them, could you do that with your stone?
as far as that is concern get 2 of the same stone and you hold both in each hand and then have the person you want cared for hold one of them on them at all times and you can send energies of all kinds to that person through the stones you both share because both enregy are in the same stone.
yes it is a proven fact ...examply..if you and the person you care for carry a rose quarts together you can send love energy to that person everytime it is with them...or if you carry eucapilus and lavender in a pouch it will keep you calm and give you luck too.
Right now he have one thing that bind us, we had to till he lost is promise ring, I still were mine.
We wear each others zodiac, it stanless steel, I don't know if that means any thing. But he wears my snake one and i were his rat one.
Is there a stone i can send him that will help calm him mind and soul?
yes send him both the rose quarts and hemitite it will work for both part he needs it for.
Does it have to be like any size or can it be small so he may carry it with him?
Ok Thank you so very much, this will help me alot.
Someone that has a hard time getting to sleep, like they lay there for hours, and take sleeping pills but it does not work. Is there a stone for that?
for sleep get a lavender candle with a reall good smell to it and have him put it in his room beside the bed and light it for 1 hour before laying down and it will help him sleep comfortably and all night too.
Lol I'm the one that can't see dear, and lavender is my fav kind of candle, how come it has not helped me?
so sorry spelling typo....chamomile...or try passion flower.with the lavender
-.- that stuff make me sick, like badly sick and i don't know why
really the try putting the lavender in the tub as well as having the candle burning and as you breathe it in it will relax you.
That has helped but I keep running in to dead ends, i was hoping to find a stone or something to help, I've not really slept in like months
i cant say i believe in healing stones but as i come to find out in life anything is possible
really has something been bothering you or constantly on your mind that prevents you from sleeping a full night. hold on 1 min i will look into it for you ok.
Well Matt being over seas one of my friends his needing me and i can't help her, I've been very anit-social alot, and warlordprince my room mate is kinda up set with me.
I've tried using stones but they seem to make me fill worse
ok i see your problem in all areas.try citrine this stone will bring harmony and success it removes creative blocksand prevents emotional stagnation carry it with you when you need stimulationand self confidence and it will also help bring pleasure to everyday life ..where you don't feel as sociable ..as for you friend why can't you help he and for matt surround him with protection and you will feel at ease.
WEll that i would have to message you and tell you that, but i will try these, and the moon is at full with the lunar thing going on ive not slept one bit
I keep 2 Amethyst around me,one is small that I carry to keep me in a nuetral state of mind when I am out amongst the angry people and the larger one is used for my girlfriend to ward off her evil headaches which would help more if she believed in them,I also keep a quartz which was used by a shaman on my back when I was very Ill with pnemonia,it helped to relieve the intense pain I was in so I could take myself off the pain meds.
I honestly don't know a lot about healing stones or crystals.
When we go to Arkansas I always stop at rock shops and have bought some crystals that I find attractive.
I have several around the house and I know the names of a few but not all.
How do you use them for healing purposes?
Is there a good site or reference book that I can check out to learn more about them?
I never use them I always relied on modern medicine or even sometime's home remedies.
I have never used them either. I have read what everyone has written and think I might try them.
Natural river stones that have been personally gathered from different places around the world.
Jade is said to have natural property/vibration of keeping the body healthy, and fresh, other than that, ppl use crystals to give some energie to their bodies trough certain energetical work procedures.
for those of you who wanted information on a book to look into here is one of them i will have more books posted later on today for you to ck out and research...
Crystal Healing
The Therapeutic Application of Crystals and Stones (Vol II)
Katrina Raphael
I work with healing stones. I use different types of stones. I use them in my rituals for wicca.
I also wear them. Sometimes I have a headacke I wear a amethyst. Or when I'm stressed up I wear another.
Collecting and using healing stones has became a hobby to me.
I use mostly rose quartz, but actually all stones I have I use in one way or other for healing.
In different times I feel attracted to different stones, as for example right now I am being attracted to moonstone and a couple of other a little bit transparent stones.
all stones have healing abilities.
as well as record keepers of wisdom
I am a big fan of fluorite, it is good for calming and soothing the mind. Combined with amethyst it can really help create a calm and peaceful mood.
i've heard marble has healing powers for the eyes...
but no one i know has had any experience with it directly.
Mhmmm I herd that to last night, and I've been going blind in my left eye for some time. I just don't want to mess my eye up anymore then it is
yeah i know what you mean
i'll see if i can dig up something more concrete for you on marble :)
if this thread gets closed before i find anything on the web or in any books i'll message you with it ;]
Thank you so much, just seems I'm falling apart more and more lately
*laughs*
me too, i swear i suddenly got old :)
that's part of the reason my interest in healing stone has increased over the past year
(and i appreciate everyone who has helped educate me in them through threads like this)
Hematite is a good grounding agent for me. Also rose quartz, citrine and tigers eye.
Hematite is surpose to calm people down. i love my blood stone but dont know what it used for.
I've used blood stones more for my healing hand, to call on my blood, and the power that is in it.
I am really beginning to believe in the power of crystals :) I was skeptical to begin with, but it appears to be working for me :)
