The original place where Serris got her information could not be found online, so in light of this I cited this link which contains information on the crystals she posted.

now that u have chosen your crystal we need to talk about crystal cleansing and care now you if u want to cleanse your crystal of any negativity then just follow your own technique or if you dont have a technique then just grab a bowl place your crystal or crystals in it and then have and extra bowl of water and on the bowl of water place your hands over it and then say ''by the power in me i command all negativity from this water to banish and be gone''
you will probably fell tingles in your palms while saying it dont get freaked out thats normal....for us after doing this simply sprinkle water on them kuz some crystals have a different reaction to water and will break or disintegrate my advice if you never want to have that happen then get tumbled crystals or stones. also even some stones that are tumble break with water or disintegrate so ask your crystal store attendant

okay now that u have ''cleansed'' your stones or crystals its time to keep them in a safe place try keeping them in a nice cloth bag of any kind
or in a safe wooden box =]





now for crystal meditation/therapy
when u first use your crystals u have to get in tune with them as become one with them first u must meditate and hold the crystal or stone in your hand and fell the energy flow thru you and yours flowing in it once u have that connection u can unlock that energy we ever u need it especially during spells
u can also just hold the crystal in your time of grieving or sorrow it will help u cope and ease your pain and anguish =]
you can also heal others with this method or you can rest them down and
ask them to hold it and then slowly send them energy from the crystal and talk to them in the process. also you can wear certain jewelry of stones and you can use their power for manifesting or manipulating beings or elements
now their are also shapes but i kant post pics so yeah =/
i kant explain them but there are generator crystals that provide you with energy and there are pyramid crystals use for scrying ohh yeah you can also use crystals like obsidian and quarts to scry and see into the future or past
and dont forget you can also heal your internal body with crystals like quartz for example if u put them in a bowl of water under moonlight for a night and then drink it in the day you will fell rejuvenated =]
theres more but itz alot to type if u have any questions ask me in on everyday =]

Thank-you for this post.

Im glad you touched a-little on cleansing of crystals , Alot of people cleanse them in salt water, but as you stated this can damage some crystals.

Another good way to cleanse your crystals is by passing them through the incense smoke of white sage/or smudge stick.

You can also cleanse with sound vibrations ie: ringing your bell. gong ect close to them. :)

Posted by ginseng (February 25, 2010) :

It's fine to work with other crystals that are not in your zodiac, we form bonds with our crystals some better than other's :)

There are also other signs which may be more attuned (for lack of a better word) to you than your sun sign, such as your moon sign or rising (ascendant) sign. These signs may apply to you more than your sun sign for one reason or another and may draw you more towards a stone that is another sign.

Also, there are many other stones than those listed there and you can make a connection to stones you pick up out of the yard even

Posted by Rikka (Jan 16, 2011) :

I believe that these came from Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Crystal, Gem & Metal Magic by Scott Cunningham.

I thought I would read through and add some ones that you missed.

Actinolite:
balances and harmonizes the body functions. IT can effect the color vibration of other stones.Strengthens the bodys physical processes. Incourages spiritual exploration. It can help you emotionally and physicall accept new things and receptive to divine energies. It creates a sheild that will reflect ones own negative thoughts. Stabilizes the crystalization process. It can restructure cells into a positive crystalization.

I will add more later. I find this one in particular very fascinating :)
