Okay guys, just a heads up that I STILL CAN’T FIND MY BOOKS. This is making me super upset, but tomorrow I’m going to try and do some more research using some of my online tools and answer the questions that are in my inbox. I’m really sorry that I’ve been so sucky at updating :( Going to repurchase my books hopefully by the end of February, wish me luck!

crystal-garden: Moldavite is a tektite, and a stone of intense frequency and high vibration. In ancient times it was thought to be a mystical stone that could bring good luck and fulfillment of wishes. These natural green crystals are powerful stones for transformation… as it is thought to be the stone known as “The Holy Grail Stone.” It is one of the best stones to use for psychic protection, as negative entities find it difficult to connect to your aura when you are wearing it. Wearing this stone is an advantage when you are working with spirit… so you can be sure that what you are making contact with is of ‘the light’. One of its best assets is that it is a protective stone… and especially if you are working on developing psychic abilities. Using this stone in meditation is very powerful. Change and spiritual healing are the common elements that this powerful natural crystal stimulates amongst most people, and this may take different forms. This beautiful green stone can affect any or all of the chakras but it major effect is on the heart chakra, which resonates the vibration of love.

QuestionHello!! Love your blog... it's very special and informative. (: I just recently got really into the idea of gem elixirs and I have been doing a lot of research on the minerals and crystals that are toxic and should not be used. I see a lot of conflicting information on the internet about the toxicity. For example, one site says that celestite and moldavite should not be used, but I have heard of both being used in elixirs, and have personally tried a celestite elixir before. (continued)... Answer

(2/2) Do you have a reliable source that you use to find out which are safe to use and which aren’t? Thanks soooooo much!! <3

Holy crap I’m sorry - I never saw this ask!! Now I feel horrible >.>

ANYWAY the source I use the most out of anything is the two Crystal Bible books by Judy Hall. They seem to have the most information and to me are the most reliable, but that’s not saying that other books aren’t. I’ve seen a lot of people who say that Scott Cunningham’s book about crystals is a really reliable source, too. I’d probably just be careful using stones that technically shouldn’t be used in an elixer unless it was put together by a trained professional, since they’d know the appropriate water/stone ratio to keep it from being poisonous.

Hope that helps!

Note: guys I am still without my crystal books, so I deeply apologize. I can’t seem to find them ANYWHERE and it’s really ticking me off because, obviously, I don’t feel comfortable putting anything together or answering stone-specific questions unless I can have a source or two behind my findings. So I just wanted to say THANK YOU so much for being patient with me and understanding that I’ve been pretty MIA for a while. Hopefully once I find them I’ll be back to doing lots of updates and keeping this blog going a little better than I have.

desert-hallucinations: LAPUS LAZULI Stone’s names: Lapis Lazuli, Lazurite. Color: Lapis Lazuli occurs in various shades of blue with some qualities being speckled with white calcite and some with yellow pyrite. The finest Lapis Lazuli is even blue color with little or no veining from other elements. Description: Lapis lazuli is a semiprecious stone valued for its deep blue color. The source of the pigment ultramarine, Lapis lazuli is not a mineral but a rock colored by lazurite. In addition to the sodalite minerals in lapis lazuli, small amounts of white calcite and of pyrite crystals are usually present.Because lapis is a rock of varying composition, its physical properties are variable. The name’s origin: The name lapis comes from word pencil in Spanish. Wedding anniversary: Lapis Lazuli is the anniversary gemstone for the 7th and 9th year of marriage. Care and treatment: Lapis Lazuli can easily be scratched or chipped. Water can dissolve the stone’s protective coatings, hence clean your lapis lazuli jewelry with a soft dry cloth. From the stone history: Lapis Lazuli with deep azure blue color, often flecked with golden pyrite inclusions, was treasured by ancient Babylonian and Egyptian civilizations and often worn by royalty. Lapis lazuli was widely used by Egyptians for cosmetics and painting . Persian legend says that the heavens owed their blue color to a massive slab of Lapis upon which the earth rested. Lapis Lazuli was believed to be a sacred stone, buried with the dead to protect and guide them in the afterlife.Lapis lazili is one of the gemstones, that used in commesso, also called florentine mosaic. Commesso is a technique of fashioning pictures with thin, cut-to-shape pieces of brightly colored, semiprecious stones, developed in Florence in the late 16th century. The stones most commonly used are agates, quartzes, chalcedonies, jaspers, granites, porphyries, petrified woods, and lapis lazuli. Commesso pictures, used mainly for tabletops and small wall panels, range from emblematic and floral subjects to landscapes. For centuries Lapis Lazuli has been prized for jewelry. But it has also been used to make the beautiful blue paint ultramarine and has been used as a source of writing instruments. Ultramarine is used in paints, lacquers, and decorating materials. It has a particularly brilliant blue color and is very lightfast. Shopping guide: Lapis lazuli has been widely used as a semiprecious stone throughout history. It is most often seen as a necklace of beads or carved pendants.Fine natural Lapis Lazuli can be rather pricey. Jewelry with the high quality stones with no calcite or pyrite veins can be quite expensive. Much of the jewelry that is sold as Lapis is an artificially colored jasper from Germany that shows colorless specks of clear, crystallized quartz and never the goldlike flecks of pyrite. Healing ability: The stone is said to increase psychic abilities. Lapis is said to be a cure for melancholy and for certain types of fever. Lapis lazuli eliminates negative emotions. It relieves sore throat pain. Mystical power: Traditionally believed to increase mental clarity, virility, and calm. Lapis Lazuli is energy focuser for teachers, lecturers and speakers.
