Hello, and welcome to Psychic Teachers. I'm your host, Deb Bowen and
I'm Samantha Fay, and this week that we are discussing a topic that,
as you well know, is near and dear to our hearts. Crystals.
Now, for some of you, this will be refresher information, and for
some of you who are just beginning to walk this metaphysical path, this is
brand new information. Probably more than any other topic. We get a ton
of questions about crystals, and we thought that this week would be a really
good time to just give you some basic information and to answer some of the
questions that you are asking us about. Remember that we're speaking from our own
experiences, from our own work with stones, and from experts like Melody,
whose love is in the Earth is our primary reference source. Let's start with
how crystals work. So, crystal's have pyro electric and pisio electric properties,
and when pressure is applied to a pisioelectric crystal, an electric current is created.
This piesioelectric effect means pressure creates an electric field around the crystal. Pyroelectric
crystals generate a polarizing charge as a result of being heated or cooled. So
each type of crystal has a crystal lattice structure. No matter how big or
small the crystal, Each crystal has a growth access and will repeat the same
lattice structure as it grows. Energy flows through this structure, causing the crystal
to act like an antennae. Now, how do crystals work for you?
While each crystal vibrates at its own rate, it has its own frequency.
So when we bring a crystal into our own unique energy field, the crystal
helps synchronize our vibration. We can't change the lattice structure of a crystal.
We also cannot change the frequency vibration of a crystal. So crystals will work
with us to help increase our frequency. They help us adapt our electric magnetic
field to its vibration. So when you work with a high vibration stone,
your electric magnetic field increases. When you work with a low vibrating stone,
your electric magnetic field slows and calms down. Kind of sounds magical, doesn't
it. Deb Well, anything that scientific sounds magical to me me too.
But I do understand what you are saying, because you know crystals do what
they do, they do what their intention is on the planet. So you
can't ask a haematite to do something that is not in its repertoire, so
you might need an amethyst instead. So it's important to know that crystals do
what they do and there's nothing you can do about that. That's what they're
meant to do. It's really important to know. And we did an episode
on this, Goully I don't know how many years ago, entitled There's not
a rock for that, And it's the idea that we ask a crystal to
do what it's meant to do to work with us, but it doesn't necessarily
do something for us. And there's a big philosophical difference between those two phrases,
and we'll come back to that later. Yeah, and if you get
crystal books like Melodi's Love Is in the Earth, it will tell you what
that stone vibrates at. So if you're listening to this going, well,
how do I know what's a high vibrating stone and what's a low vibrating stone?
And when you do research on the crystal that you've selected, it'll tell
you the vibration rate of that stone. And it's important to note that high
and low isn't a value judgment. No, and I think people think that,
oh, it vibrates low. That's not good. That's not true a
stone if, for example, if you have ever stood in the center of
stone Hinge with those gigantic megaliths, and you can it's like standing in the
middle of a very slow pounding drum and the vibration is very low and deep
and slow. And you tell me there's not power there, boy, is
there. It's just a different kind of power than you might have from say
a piece of quartz that vibrates at a much higher rate. They're just different
in their intent, not better or worse. Well said, Okay, let's
talk about choosing a crystal. Okay, because you know I've done this when
I thought, okay, I need a stone to work with me for X
intent. And so I go into my favorite metaphysical store and I stand in
front of a wall or a bin full of all kinds of stones, and
I say, Wow, which one is right? And I've probably gone in
with an idea that I might need, for example, a stone in the
green range. So I'm standing in front of bens and bens and bins of
green stones. How do I know which one's right? And then so I
say Okay, I'm going to try moss aagot for example. I think moss
sagget's my rock. So that I've narrowed it down, I'm standing in front
of a band of moss aggot stones, all these lovely tumble moss aggot stones.
Well, how do I know within that bend which one is the exact
rock I need? What do you think, Samanpa, Well, I think
there's a lot of things you can do. I like to rub my hands
together to kind of wake up my hand chakras and please them over that bin
and see where my hand is drawn to. That's a good idea. I
don't always do that, but I see the value of doing that. But
I literally put my hand and kind of scoop up a bunch of them,
and You're right, there's a it's almost a tingling yeah that my hand feels,
and it says, yep, this one. I say, okay.
And I have learned over the years to trust that yeah, And I've learned
to trust what I'm wrong. Have you ever picked a stone from a bin
and thought, oh, that's so pretty, and then it falls from your
hand and you pick it back up, and maybe it drops again, and
then I have to realize, Oh, nope, that's not my stone,
even though it's super pretty. Oh yeah, super pretty does not always mean
the best. I mean, I'll talk later about a stone. I'm sitting
here looking at right now as we're recording this episode called valin tonight, and
it's an ugly rock and it's just not pretty. I'm looking at that serpentine
I bought with you in Myrtle Beach. Do you remember that? I do?
It was covered, Guys, serpentine is a beautiful stone. But this
was just not a pretty cut of that stone. And you know, I'm
looking at it now. Oh, I still feel bad for it. It
is, you are very pretty. It's just this, you know, oval
lumpy thing, and it was covered in a quarter inch of dust, and
you just knew no one had picked it up, and so Tip and I
decided to adopt it, and I took it home. Here it is and
still doing wonderful things with you, you know, and it has a prominent
place in my crystal display. Right. Trust, trust your instincts, trust
what the stone tells you. I can't tell you enough how much that's a
part of It's like meeting a new friend. It's like meeting somebody and you
think, oh, you know, I think I'd like to get to know
this person better. I don't know a whole lot about them, but they
are. They're vibrating at a rate that seems to be compatible with me in
some way. And hasn't that usually worked out where you've become friends with that
person because you've trusted at least the possibility of getting to know them better.
Crystals are people too, That's all I know to say about that. You
know so true. And sometimes the crystal chooses you, and that's when someone
gives you a stone, or you find one randomly when not expecting it.
And we'll talk more about crystal gifts in a minute, but that's always a
lovely thing when someone decides to select a crystal and they'll say, I don't
know why, but I just knew this was for you. That's a beautiful
way. I've got a couple of those sitting in front of me. In
fact, one of them is from you I want to talk about. So
yes, absolutely, so trust that beginning process. But it is also,
I think really helpful to have a working knowledge of stones and what they do
and the range in which they work and The best way I know to do
that is to tell you to basically go to Crystal School one oh one,
and my go to textbook, as Samantha has mentioned, is Melodies Love Is
in the Earth. And it's not an inexpensive book. It's an expensive book,
but it really is the final encyclopedia word of stones. It really is
one of the things you're going to find when you start doing that, when
you start reading and you start memorizing, and you come up with a concept
of something you would like to have a stone to work with you, to
help you with, so say prosperity for example. So you're looking for a
stone to help you with prosperity. If you go the index in Melody's book,
you're going to find a long list of stones that work with prosperity.
Now, lots of different aspects of working with prosperity, and what is it
you're really asking for? Those subtle differences in that general concept of prosperity or
what you want to look for. Are you looking for something to help you
earn more money, for example? Are you looking for prosperity in a more
esoteric way? What is it you really want to have happen that is such
a good distinction, because the cinemar, for example, might help spur your
passion and energy to create more money opportunities, whereas citrine or pyrite might give
you the confidence encourage needed to pursue those abundant goals. So that's that's a
really good point that you're making. Yeah, absolutely, And keep in mind
that no stone that I know of only does one thing. They have a
plethora and a range of tasks that they accomplish, and so you might want
to look at the whole constellation of what a stone does. So be really
clear about that, and I'll give you any example of that. As we
talk later about looking for stones that helped me get my work published. Let's
say you find exactly the right stone, you pay for it, and you
bring it home. Now, well, first of all, remember that your
stone is millions, maybe billions of years old and spent most of that time
deep in the earth. Then it was mined and shipped and handled by many,
many people before it reached you. So your first task is to cleanse
the stone. Let's be sure we're real clear on this, because this is
one of the questions we get asked the most. What is the difference between
cleaning and clearing a stone, and they're two different tasks. To clean a
stone, on one hand, is literal physical clean the rock. If it's
not one of the heights, that's very fragile, Wash it off in some
water. Clean literally clean it off. Like the rock Samantha was just talking
about where it was covered in dust. Well, the first thing she did
when she got it home was she washed it right, see how beautiful it
was. So that's cleaning. There are other ways to clean a stone if
it's one of the heights, for example, angely selenite. So clean them
by putting them in a bowl of rice and letting the rice clean them.
And I mean dry rice here, y'all, not cooked rice. Run them
through smoke from whatever is a local or a regional herb for you that acts
as a cleansing mechanism cedar pine, sage, polo santo. That's You can
put them in a bowl of feathers. You can bury them in the earth
or a potted plant for about twenty four hours. If you do bury them,
just make sure to mark the location right. You can also clean them
in sunlight. There are some exceptions a withthysts, for example, will fade
if placed in direct sunlight. People always come in when we post photos of
our rose court or you and I both have giant rose corts kind of little
boulders outside our front doors, and people always say, don't leave those out,
they'll fade. My giant rose cords has been out on my front step
for fifteen years and has never faded. Lockwood, no mine either, And
you know, weren't you with me when I bought that many times? Yes?
I was, I thought so. And it's been right by the front
door. It's sat through hurricanes. I don't move that rock during a hurricane.
And it's so beautifully pink. But supposedly the sun does fade most of
them. So yeah, who are we to challenge that? Not? I
you want to fit clean the stone? Oh wait, there's there's more.
You can also use dound and vibration, so you can ring a bell,
a drum, you can chant over your stones, clap, breaking up the
vibrations, creating new beautiful vibrations will also help cleanse them. Yeah, I
mean think about you know if you if you it a been of tumbled stones.
Here's this one. I'm back to my mowsagget again. Here you are
back to this one little rock, and who knows what that rock has been
through? And the sometimes say Samantha suggests billions of years before it gets to
you. You really do want to start with a clean slate in terms of
your relationship with this rock. So you want to clean it. Then,
when we speak of charging a stone, we speak of asking the stone if
it will work with us. Let me say that sentence once again, ask
the stone if it will work with you? Well, there was a time
where the whish many years ago was to program a stone, and I never
ye know people here, she goes, I'm gonna go there and let me
let me get your soapbox out. Step on, girl, I agree,
go ahead, I'm gonna stand right on this soapbox because who am I to
demand that a stone do something? Little old me? Really? Perhaps I
should ask? Isn't that more polite? Isn't that a better way to build
a relationship is to ask it if it will do what it says it can
do. Will it do it with me? Will it help me? And
I've had stones who said nope. I'm here in your house right now because
there's something else you need to be doing with me. And most often,
and then when that happens, I know, oops, this is this rock
needs to be given away. I am just the conduit to pass this rock
on to someone else, and I do, and the situation presents itself and
I do pass it on. But in the many, many cases, bless
them that I have rocks who have a gre to work with me. That's
when there's a second step. And some of the things that Samantha has just
suggested that you do that can clean your stones, can also charge them.
There are times, and I don't know how I know this, Samantha,
but there are times when everything else on my to do list tests to go
away, because right this minute, every rock in my house needs to be
cleaned and recharged. And I take up everybody and move them around and clean
them, wash them in water or whatever, and charge them and ask them
to let's reinforce our relationship. It's like having friends, and if you don't
see them for a long time, what happens to that relationship sometimes, so
you're building relationship when you're charging your crystals and asking them to do what they
do for with you. Thank you for seeing all of that. And sometimes
I still will see if I'm reading someone's blog or an article on crystals.
All see that word program, and I always think of you and how respectfully
you treat the crystals, and I think, no, no, no,
we need to change up that word because I agree one hundred percent. And
you made another good point where you said I don't know how I know that
they need to be charged or cleansed. Everything with crystals is so subtle,
like that feeling when you ask a stone to work with you and you get
a know. I want to make it clear that, at least for me,
I don't hear a little voice that says no, no, no,
we have different work to do. You and I, Samantha, you know
it's nothing like that. It's just it's so subtle. It's I don't even
know how to put words to it, but you just know once you take
time to really sit and connect with the energy of your stone, whether it's
just another extension of your subconscious or the collective unconscious, or this stone has
actually breathing consciousness that you're connecting with, we don't know, but you will
feel the subtle energy of a yes or a no, or an insight into
the type of work you're supposed to do with that with that rock. One
of the things that's tradition is that you put stones in the moonlight to be
charged. That moonlight helps charge your stones. And that's true, and it's
a safe way to do that because unlike perhaps sunlight as we were talking about
earlier, or water or anything else, moonlight is a very safe thing to
do. But it's you can charge your stones anytime, you really can.
But moonlight is traditionally kind of that time you gather everybody and you put them
on a table in a window seal where the moonlight comes in through. Now,
some people, of course think, oh, but do I need to
put them outside O the light comes through the window, and oh what if
it's raining. Well, the moon's still up there. It's just between their
clouds and rain between you and it. But the moonlight is still doing what
it does. It's a good time to be conscious of that and to perhaps
create some kind of a consistent practice of reconnecting with your stones. I think
that's really the ultimate reason for doing that every twenty eight day cycle of working
with your rocks that way. Yeah, and we can talk about different things
you can do with the cycles of the moon, but let's take a quick
break and we'll be right back. Deb Do you want to tell us what
you have coming up? Oh? I certainly will. I'm happy to do
that, folks. I have this self paced to Row course and it starts
whenever you're ready to start it, so it's never too late to join this
course. The course is called the Fool's Journey, and it helps you to
understand your own life journey through the symbols, myths, cultures and the beliefs
that are present on the traditional to row cards. So it's a thirty eight
week course and each week you get an in depth lesson about the cards as
we make our way from the Fool all the way through the minor Arcana Keys.
There's so much more information about how the course works and details of what
you will learn on my website that's Stebboen dot com. I want to let
everyone know that on Wednesday, June fifth, I'm going to be teaching my
Manifesting webinar from seven to eight thirty pm Eastern. It's taught live over zoom.
But if you can't be there, it's fine because it will be recorded
and emailed into your inbox the next day. You also get an MP three
instant downloadable meditation which is designed to help train your subconscious to manifest for you
and along with you. And you also get my sixty page ebook on how
to manifest with lots of techniques that I've honed over the years of doing this,
so I hope you'll join me. You can find out about that by
going to Samantha Fay dot com and clicking the upcoming events tab. Welcome back.
Okay, so we're talking all about crystals, and we were talking before
the break about charging crystals with the moon. You can also use the cycles
of the moon to charge stones for specific purposes. So, for example,
in a waxing moon, stones will help you with anything new in your life,
a new job, relationships, or projects, such as rose quartz,
green adventurin, citrin, turquoise, or garnet. Under the full moon,
stones will help you with gratitude and healing. And you want to choose stones
that are associated with moon energy, like selenite, moonstone, watermelon, tornaline,
unkite. Under a waning moon, you can use stones to help you
release and purge negativity, change your thinking, release a bad habit, such
as hematite, malachite, rhodochrosite, labradorite, or celestite. And finally,
under the new moon, you can use crystals to help you set new intentions
like apophylite, moldavite, or smith senite. And so it can be really
fun to start working with the phases of the moon also with the crystals that
you're building relationships with. All of those are absolutely true, and I think
what I really want to emphasize with folks about this connection with working with stones
with certain phases of the moons and what you want to have happened during those
times. It's the idea that when you connect the energies of the moon or
the sun, or stones or a zillion other things that you're working with in
the metaphysical world, you really create this container of energy and intent and connection
to a deeper spiritual way of being in the world. Yeah, I want
to talk to about what you do with your crystals. So you got them
home, you've cleansed them, you've charged them, you've asked them to work
with you. I think it's important if you're not actively working with a crystal,
to remember that they should be stored in a sacred manner. So if
you keep your stones in a pouch, be sure to include a small piece
of carnelian because carnelian will help clean and charge the other stones around it.
Larger stones should be placed around your home with the intent of purpose for which
they are used. For example, you can place a quartz cluster in your
family room for group family harmony. Unikite or fluorite placed by computers and TVs
helps protect your energy from absorbing the emf emissions from your electronics. A citrine
and amethyst cluster placed together by your bedside keeps a couple seeing eye to eye.
Garn It on an office desk keeps your passion for work alive and well.
So there's a lot of different places that you can put your crystals,
and for example, in my e course on working with crystals, I have
a whole section on where to put your crystals in terms of feng Shuei,
because you can also use a bagua map and place crystals in certain bagua areas
of your home. So for example, if you're working on fertility goals,
then you would want to put fertility crystals with your affirmation in the creative and
children section of your bagua home or and in the relationship corner of your home.
If you're working on getting a new job, you would want to put
certain crystals in the job section of your home, but also in the helpful
people corner of your home. So there's some really cool things you can incorporate
when you think about where to place the crystals in your house. Absolutely true.
I have a quartz cluster on the coffee table in my living room for
exactly that reason. I have a piece of fluorite out by my porch store
because it protects your house from bad weather. I mean, there are sorts
of reasons and places of why you put what you put where you put it.
Keep in mind that crystals can receive, hold, direct, project,
and reflect light. So if a crystal has been proven to hold and emanate
light and has been witnessed to help us align our energy, it's reasonable to
assume they can help us to also take in more light. So when you
ask a crystal to work with you, in addition to keeping in mind the
properties of that crystal, it's also a good idea to remember that whatever you
ask it to help you with will be magnified and projected out into the world.
So, for example, we know pray Nite is great for self love
and healing. If your goal is to set boundaries and focus on self care,
you can ask your prey Nite to help you accomplish this and it will
work within your energy field while also projecting this intention out into the collective.
Uncon So, what does what do all those words mean? If you really
are setting an intention to work on learning to love yourself and to heal maybe
a broken heart or a grieving heart, and you're asking your prey Night to
help you with this, it's going to set that intention magnified out into the
world, which means it's going to help draw people to you, books to
you, classes, resources that are going to help you work on that goal.
How does that work? I have no clue. I just have seen
it work in my own life. I've seen it work in Deb's life and
Joel's life and all the people in my life who work very very closely with
crystals. It's subtle. It's not, you know, turning on a light
switch in a dark room. It doesn't happen overnight, but it does work,
and date it does. The times in my life that stones have have
worked and done their job and done what I have asked them to do our
legion. Now, I used to belong to a paranormal ghost investment litigation team,
and I never went on an investigation without a beautiful stone that Joel gave
me. It's clear courts shot through with shards of black turmaline, and that's
a stone of balance. So the clear courts acted as an amplifier to allow
me to receive information that I was getting as I was doing the investigation,
and the black urmaline protected me in case somebody was a pleasant and I wore
it in my left pocket always. I always had on pants that had a
left pocket because that's the receiving side of your body, and that always worked,
always worked. You know, another one Melody recommends for that in addition
to the one you just described as chloree quartz, and she says to keep
one on each side of your front door if you want to keep negativity and
ghosty stuff at bay. Now, another thing that deb and I often talk
about, and the question we get all the time is how do I know
what all of these stones do? And so something dev and I will say
is, if you know the chakras, you know the crystals pretty much.
So for example, we know the root chakra. Its color is red and
it deals with finances, grounding, passion, protection, physical security, abundance,
sense of self, connection to family, and so red stones like ruby,
hematite, onyx, garnet and any other black or red stones are going
to help you with those issues. The sacred chakra is connected to the color
orange and it governs creativity, fertility, sexual issues, body image, creativity,
joy, body issues. So any orange stone like Carnelian satrine, orange
topaz, orange jasper is going to help you with that. Do you see
what we mean? You can connect the chakra to the color to the crystal.
You can, and I think that's and helpful way to learn the overall
arching intent of a stone. They're nuances and specifics with each stone, of
course, but generally speaking, if you think, ooh, you know,
I need some help with creativity and working with any kind of issues with joy
and body issues and whatnot, and you know you need to go to the
rock store and look at orange rocks. Do you know what my new favorite
creativity stone is what I wrote my whole book that's coming out in October.
Wearing an orange kyanite necklace. Well, good for you and my book that
I'm working on right now is being helped by an orangish and brownish yellow stone
called calligraphy stone. Oh that's a good one too, That's a beautiful,
beautiful stone. Had you ever heard of orange kyanite? No, yeah,
I'd heard of blue kay and I've heard of black guyanite. And when we
were helping Ryan put together the research for his Crystal Eyes app we came across
orange cainite and it was I think that was given to me to research,
and I was like, Ooh, I need this because it's all about creativity,
but it's really about getting into the flow of the ideas that are coming
to you and just kind of like a surfer, like riding the wave.
And I thought, ooh, I need that. So I found a necklace
that's orange kinite with clear quartz on top. Ooh. Yeah, it's been
really really helpful. But you're right about the nuances. Take, for example,
the heart chakra, which is connected to the color green. Now,
the higher heart chakra is connected to the color pink, but let's focus on
the main heart chakra, which is green, and that's where we focus on
healing, love, growth, abundance, tolerance, forgiveness, and so you
can turn to any green stone, green aventurine, moss agate, emerald,
watermelon, tourmaline. But in those choices are so many nuances. So,
for example, moss Agate is such a beauty, why do we keep mentioning
that in this episode? Dem, I don't know. Maybe we both need
to get a new piece of moss Aggetters. I know, it looks like
you could you collected a piece of moss agate and put it like in a
glass stone. It's just beautiful. It looks like the growing earth in a
stone, and so that's going to help you with growth. So if you
want to grow love, or if you want to grow in forgiveness, or
you want to grow intolerance, you would look to moss agate. Green aventurine,
on the other hand, is more focused on luck. You know,
there's an old adage you should never buy a lottery ticket without a green aventurine
in your pocket. And so if you want more luck and love, and
that kind of green aventurine has like a lighter, happier it's kind of got
that Carnelian cheerleader vibe to it. So you would want to work with green
aventurine. But let's say you're in not a really great space with your heart
chakra. Maybe you're grieving, maybe you're angry, maybe you're pissed off at
an X or someone who really hurt your heart, and you're like, huh
huh, I'm not feeling lucky, I'm not feeling like I want to grow
anything. Well, then you want to go to malakite, because that is
your tough love drill, sergeant stone. When you've gotten through that, you
want to go to rhodonite, which is a beautiful pink and black stone that
really helps you shed layers of old stuff. So can you see how within
the heart chakra stones, as dev was saying, there's many, many nuances,
but at least identifying the colors and what they do based on the chakras
is a really good jumping off point for starting to understand crystals. Absolutely.
And you know, as you're talking, I'm thinking about watermelon themaline, and
I have a beautiful piece of watermelontermaline and it is green and pink right,
and it's in layers. It's just beautiful. So here you have a balance
of the work you need to do, and the work is you call the
higher heart chakra work that's done, so there's a balance there of a lot
of different kinds of heart energies. That's true in watermelon turmaline. It's true
in unikite because you see both pink and green and unikite as well. Do
you know, Zab, I do not have watermelon tourmaline. I have a
beautiful piece that Joe gave me. It's small. Of course, I wouldn't
sell it to you. I give it to you, but it's tiny.
I mean, watermelon tourmaline is really expensive, but it's beautiful. Well,
when Annie owned the Metaphysical store way back in the day that you and I
loved, she had a beautiful piece of watermelon tormaline. And I had to
set myself a crystal budget because you know, anyone who's just getting into crystals,
no, you can go a little crazy. And I was like,
oh my gosh, I need sugarlight, and I need this kuy and I
and I need this chill suddenly. So she had this beautiful piece and it
was expensive, and it was about three months worth of my crystal budget,
and so I was like, now just save up for that, and then
of course she sold it and every time I see watermelon tormaline, I compare
it to that piece way back then, and I've never found a piece as
beautiful as that one. You know, I had the same exact thing happened
to me with malakite. I was at a place in my life where I
thought, Okay, I'm brave enough to look at some things in my life
and shift some energy and thoughts, and then so malakite will help me do
that. And I was at a wonderful, wonderful store called Prairie Edge and
Rapid City, South Dakota, and there was an absolutely exquisite malakite necklace made
by somebody from think from the Pine Ridge Reservation, and it was ghastly expensive
and I wouldn't let myself buy it. And I said, okay, if
I come back next year, because I would come every so often, and
if it's still here, I will buy it. When I went back,
it was gone. But then not long after that, I was at a
store owned by a beautiful jewelry maker on Ocracoke Island and she had a lovely
piece of malakite too. It was very different. The energy of the stones
were not the same, but I did buy the one from the woman in
ocre Coke, and it did indeed do what I'd ask it to do and
the work that we did together. So I was very grateful to finally have
a piece of malachite, but my heart still could see the first one.
You know, Yeah, I do, And it's been a good reminder when
you have that, you know, instant connection to a crystal, to really
think about it. Now. If it's not in your budget, it's not
in your budget. But I do hope that that one of melintormally will come
back to me in some way, shape or form. Some stones, as
we've been talking about you mentioned earlier, help clean or clear our take care
of other stones. And there are some stones that never need cleaning. Should
we move on to talking about that, sure, Yeah, Kyanite, for
example, does not need to be cleansed. Carnelian does not. These are
some hard working stones, super seven citrine, as as telite. There's a
few other but those are kind of some of the most common ones people will
encounter, and I think it's just absolutely amazing, especially kyanite, who I
just have such a special fondness for because kyanite does so much the blue kyanite
in particular, it grows in a blade like formation. And the blue cayanite,
so again let's think about the color blue. It's going to be connected
to your throat chakra, and if it's a dark blue, it can be
throat chakra and third eye chakra work. It helps to clear, cleanse and
align your chakras. That's a lot for one little stone, and it doesn't
it really is and it doesn't have to be cleansed, and it does help
you speak your truth. If you get black eyanite again, it grows in
a wand blade like formation. That's more like a wand and it's fantastic for
cord cutting and for protecting your energy. So again associating the colors. Black
stones are always going to be grounding and protective and super calming. Bluestones are
going to be peaceful as well and help you communicate your truth. And the
orange cainite, like we said, connected to sacred chakra, is going to
help with creativity and things like that. But kyanite is a fantastic stone.
Satrine does not need to be cleansed. Citrine is fantastic for encouraging your sense
of I am? You know who am I? What is my place in
the world where do I fit in. It's wonderful for confidence, joy,
living in the present moment, feeling courage, feeling feeling feeling happy in the
moment. And the great thing about citrine, Carnelian, and kyanite, they're
not expensive stones, especially citrine and Carnelian. So if you're a beginner to
this, I would definitely don't start out getting a Zez too Light or Super
seven or those expensive ones until you know this is really something you're interested in.
Start with more of the abundant, easy to find stones, like a
citrine or a Carnelian or a cayanite. I mean, you can get a
cayanite blade in most metaphysical stores for about fifteen dollars max. And that's a
really important point, is and this is my opinion. You might disagree,
Samantha, but size does not matter when it comes to works. It really
doesn't. And it's tumbled better than raw. I don't know, it's a
matter of preference. There's some stones it's a whole lot easier to find in
a tumbled bin and that works just fine. I mean I have paid three
or four dollars for a tumbled stone. I paid more for some other things.
But you know, a tumbled or not doesn't matter, and size doesn't
matter. So if you're one of those people who suddenly wants to be like
a kid in a candy store and get every rock you've heard us talk about
today, plus take your time really get to know the rocks, learn about
them, and give yourself permission to if you want to just explore and see
whether or not you resonate with a rock, go find one for five or
six dollars. For a tumblestone, Well, size doesn't matter because of what
we said earlier, how the latt of structure is repeated throughout the crystal,
so it doesn't matter if it's tiny or large. It's the same ladder structure.
It's the same vibratory read. And the raw versus tumbled that's a debate
and anyone can have and there's no right or wrong answer. Rawstones have more
of that raw pure energy. But the tumblestones, you know, all their
rough edges have been polished off. You can see some aspects of the stone
shine out a little bit bright. And if you look into vocals work that
I be a engineer. The work he did on how to shape stones,
especially the vocal wand which he patented and is absolutely a super fun rabbit hole
to go down. He showed that sometimes when you shape stones into certain formations,
it actually enhances the stone. So it's just you know, up to
you. Yeah, absolutely, I'll be talking about a soda light egg and
a little bit we're going to be talking about well, next week, we're
going to talk about some of our favorite personal crystals and the stories behind them,
and we're going to be talking about some fun things you can do with
your crystals. And we're also going to be talking about some stones that don't
get enough hype, that need to be more out there, that aren't commonly
mentioned so that we can give them some love too. So we hope you
will tune into us next week when we talk about that. Do you want
to add anything before we go? I don't. Thanks so much more to
talk about. I'm excited about how we're going to continue this episode next week,
