Choosing Your Gemstone

What You Look At Changes You

How do you know what mineral or gemstone is good for you and which one do you buy?   If you are asking that question I guarantee it will take you on an interesting quest.  First, don’t be afraid to make a choice.  You are extremely wise and intuitive, remember, you are a replica of the Creative Force That Designed the Universe.  You are the You-Niverse.  Be aware of the superstitions and ‘rules’ you have been taught and go beyond what others say is your Birthstone.  You will be attracted to the stone you are in need of.  Just like if you taste something you can tell if you want to eat it.  Look at the gemstone and see if it is pulling you toward it.  Don’t limit yourself.  There is a message in every stone, a certain vibration, a correlation between the gemstone, the planets, and you.

Start looking for your stone in a Jewelry Store.  What is attractive to you.  Ask to hold it.  See how much it is.  Now just walk away from it.  Do you think about it.  Is it calling you.  Now, look for that stone in a lapidary store.  The uncut rough  is less expensive and it is just as powerful as the faceted ones in the jewelry store.  Your Gemstone will be affordable and will not be a burden for you financially.  All things will be perfect and feel right to you.   A Picture of a crystal or gemstone is as powerful as the stone sometimes.   I have seen pictures of Vogel Crystals that have such a high vibrational pull that I go into deep meditation by just looking at the computer screen.  After you have investigated the crystals or gemstones buy it and take it home.

Clean Your Gemstone

There is no One Way to clear, or cleanse your gemstone.  Consider how many people have handled this stone before you bought it.  No telling but it will have been a lot.  So, you can put it under running water and then air dry it outside for 24 hours.  You can bury it in the ground for a day or two.  You can put it salt water (my favorite) then air dry it in the sun or in the moonlight.  These are my suggestions if you have a way you do it let me know!  All crystals are born in water and buried in the earth, so by giving it a bath and isolating it in the darkness of the soil you are rejuvenating it, sort of like a shower is to us each day.  After the clearing of the stone, you are ready to imprint the gemstone with your thoughts.

Now take the cleansed gemstone in your hand and look at it.  I am going to say meditate but I don’t mean, transcendental meditation where you forget where you are and you go traveling someplace else.  I mean, look at your crystal and feel yourself inside the gemstone.  Do you feel something?  This is you feeling the vibrational pull of the elements of the Earth and the pull of the universe toward you.  As you look at the gemstone the vibrational formation of the crystal structure in the stone will become imbued with your intentional thoughts.  Now you can use this gemstone to help you navigate through your day.  It can also help you during your dreams.  No telling what you and your gemstone will be able to do.

The crystal being yours is a powerful tool for  your intentions toward yourself and others. This gemstone and you will work together.  Now it will be very interesting for you to find out the history and the meaning of the stone. You already know in a super-subconscious way what the stone means to you.  But for the conscious level this is a good time to find the meaning or the history of this gemstone.

Let me know about your travels in gemstones.  Love to hear from you.  We are all learning and I am wanting to hear more on this subject.  You are welcome to find gemstone jewelry in my store on ETSY.   Here is the link:  looksgoodonya.etsy.com

Gemstones Affect Your Moods

Rustic Modern Design Hypoallergenic Gemstone earrings are available from looksgoodonya.etsy.com. I have listed a few new pieces that speak to the need to protect yourself but also the need to have gemstones that add the power to send and receive energy from the people you protect and love.  To start the conversation about gemstone energy I want to talk about Marcel Vogel, www.vogelcrystals.net .  Griselda Tello, awesomeart.etsy.com, asked me what I thought of his teaching and I said I would look into it.  In an easy tidbit, he was an amazing dude that invented the crystal coating you put on chips to make the info able to transfer from one place to another.  He worked for IBM, became rich and famous, and when he retired he began the work on transferring energy and thought with a crystal that he produced that has a twelve sided cut.  These crystals are available at a high price but the manufacture of this type of crystal is available from lapidary artists at etsy.com.  OK, so what do I think?  Fabulous, Namesta, the God in me recognizes the God in You, enough said.

Now to these earrings, A piece of Rock Crystal Quartz on a Argentium Sterling Silver Hand Forged Ear wire is a very good thing to wear.  This is what I said on my website on ETSY:

Clear Rock Crystal faceted 11mm teardrop Crystals adorn Argentium Sterling Silver Modern hypoallergenic Hoops. The wire hammered for strength and shine and fall 1.25″ from your piercing. I love this design and if you haven’t tried it yet I know you will love it too.

This sterling silver is a modern and hypoallergenic choice for most even those who have found that normal sterling makes a black/green/itchy infected mess of their ear lobes. The Argentium Sterling has less copper in the 925 alloy making it less likely to tarnish. You won’t have to use harsh chemicals to clean it, all you need is a little soap and water and a towel down with a soft cloth.  These modern earrings made with a 20  gauge wire which is the average gauge used in America.  In Europe they use 18 gauge and of course I can make that for you too.

So what about these gemstones…According to Vogel information, vogelcrystals.net High Quality Crystals (Optical Quality), Amethyst, Citrine, Smokey Quartz, and Ametrine  helps transport information from one dimension to another like in Quantum Theory.  I refer to something that I read by, Rumi Da (Ron Carson) and I am only saying, not because I think my earrings will pop you into the fifth dimension but we can ‘Play‘ with gemstones and crystals  intending to become more available to these thoughts.  This awareness and with the  intention to become more aware, and in wearing any crystal (natural or synthetic) you can increase your ability to attract more information toward your-self.  I’m just sayin’…If you want to start somewhere, you can start with me.  I make my gemstone jewelry with the intension to help, protect, heal, and ‘break the torment‘ cycle that you have gotten yourself into.  That’s all I’m sayin’.  No gemstone can do anything with out your permission so what you intend –  that is what will happen.  To speak more on this mater, later…
