In this Blog you will find a growing list of crystal properties.
These properties are simply what I like to use the stones for and how they inspire me personally. Some meanings I have found in various resources that have reflected in my own path. Some passed down for generations through a variety of different traditions and teachings.
As a simple reminder I must include this disclaimer crystal properties are for inspirational and entertainment purposes only. Crystal healing and other types of energy work are not to be considered as a substitute for traditional medical treatment.
Though I use these stones and like to connect them to a variety of healing properties this does not claim these stones to have medicinal powers and if you are dealing with a major issue please check with your preferred physician. This is not legal, health, business, or financial advice.
Whew, all that jargon aside, I personally have had some success from using crystals for various things from helping me feel more calm to helping me communicate clearer, or release a migraine from time to time. This could be a coincidence or maybe its the power of my mind. I like to believe in magic and possibilities so I enjoy getting to know and use crystals and stones in this unique way.
I will do my best to make these alphabetical but no guarantees. If you are having trouble use the find/search feature on your browser to help guid you to a stone you may be looking for.
