KUNZITE
Kunzite is a relatively new stone and not mentioned in ancient texts. This
mineral is relatively unexplored for magical uses. Cunningham suggests that
it is a centering/grounding stone and may also be
useful for attracting love. The position for this stone is the Crown Chakra.
Because of it's high lithium content, it is
recommended for psychological disorders involving severe/manic depression.
Kunzite will gradually fade with exposure to
sunlight. Very high spiritual love vibration. Heart opener - it awakens the
highest heart consciousness. It will connect one to their infinite source of
love. Aligns the crown and heart chakras. Symbolizes a pure expression of joy
in thoughts and feelings. A good stone to be worn by star children or
walk-ins to help them adjust to earth plane environments and energy.
(Pink Spodumene):
high lithium content makes Kunzite beneficial to individuals with addictive
behavior. Strengthens cardiovascular system. Aids manic depression. Excellent
balancer for physical/emotional/mental bodies. Powerful stone for
opening/healing heart. Helps one surrender to Higher
Self. Enhances self-esteem. Tolerance, acceptance. Soothing, calming.

LABRADORITE(Spectrolite)
Gem healers claim it elevates the wearer's consciousness and connection with
the energies of the universe. This awesome stone comes from the sun/moonstone
family. The stone is a opaque smoky quartz color, but when rotated in
sunlight, has flashes of vivid green, blue, red, yellow, orange, and gold.
This stone carries some of the properties from both the moon and the sun.
Helps in opening the heart chakra in order to more
readily receive love. Increases inner strength and convictions, as well as
promoting courage. Draws success to the owner's life. Greatly enhances
dreaming, and the ability to remember the content of the dreams during the
waking hours. Also helps to enhance all forms of perception during the day.
The stone may be more powerful in one area than another, dependant upon what
color the "flash" is. (See color magick for more). This is a
fantastic stone to acquire, and then to continue to carry or use throughout
one's life - as the results of the stone's energies continue to build and
each result enhances the next result. Subtle green/blue/yellow/etc. metallic
iridescent. Brings forth each person's strengths to share with the world.
Originality. Easier, more restful sleep. Helps us relate to others. Opens
energy flow to Solar plexus and Brow Chakra and whatever other centers are
most in need. Still evolving along with us. Fragile, avoid salt cleansing.
This stone is sometimes called "Spectrolite", in the non-crystallized form.

LAPIS LAZULI (LAZURITE)
Lapis Lazuli was a favorite stone of the ancient Egyptians. In the past Lazurite has been burned and ground to form the pigment
"ultramarine." It was consider an aid to childbirth, and has long
been associated with altered states of consciousness and trance work. Lapis
is sometimes designated as a birthstone for December, although turquoise is
most common. It is receptive and is the stone of Isis an ancient Egyptian
goddess. It promotes healing, love, joy, fidelity, psychic,
and gives the wearer protection and courage. Its beautiful blue hue is
associated with Kings and
Queens.
It was a popular substance for cylinder seal found in ancient
Summer.
To quote Cunningham: "This stone is used in rituals designed to attract
spiritual love. Take an un-tumbled piece of lapis with a sharp edge. Empower
the stone and a pink candle with your need for love. Then, using the lapis
lazuli, carve a heart onto the candle. Place the stone near the candleholder
and burn the candle while visualizing a love coming into your life."
Actually, the most important magical aspect of lapis is it's
ability to strengthen psychic awareness. Cunningham says, "Despite its
somewhat high price, lapis lazuli is one stone every stone magician should
own and utilize." It is an uplifting stone and will boost your psychic
awareness and promote gentleness in the wearer. This stone is used at the Ajina, the Brow Chakra. It's
related gland is the pituitary. The pituitary gland is also referred to as
the "master gland" because it regulates all of the others. This
location is also the center for the eyes, ears, nose
and brain. Used by ancient healers as an energy
stone to strengthen the mind and prepare the body for spiritual awareness.
Stimulates inner vision and enhances wisdom, insight, and good judgment in
the practical world. Powerful thought amplifier. Opens the chakras,
strengthens and balances, and induces psychic experience. It attracts
spiritual love, cheers all moods and ills, and is useful in incest recovery.
Helps us become more in touch with our essence and play a more active role in
the control of our existence. Stimulates creativity, speech, and sincerity.
Not to be confused the Ruby in Celtic Mythology or with the Sapphire.
In Egypt, this is the stone for Royalty
only. It gave wisdom and psychic experiences and guided the soul into the
afterlife. It is thought to represent truth. It strengthens the mind and body
through spiritual awareness. It is the stone of truth and
also the stone of mystery. It will aid in meditation and psychic
development, it lifts depression and melancholy and brings success in love.
The color is inherently soothing.
It has been used for skin diseases and
circulatory problems and against recurrent fevers. Strengthens skeletal

LEPIDOLITE
Lepidolite is a stone that could certainly be
considered "new age" in the sense that it is just now coming into
recognition by healers and magicians. There is no "past lore" on
this stone, to the best of my knowledge. Part of this may be due to the fact,
that it is native to the
United
States. This stone soothes
anger, hatred or any other negative emotion. To quiet the entire house, place
Lepidolite stones in a circle around a pink candle.
Lepidolite is also known as the "Dream
Stone". It will protect the individual from nightmares, especially those
caused by stress or an upset in personal relationships. It can be used in the
same types of circumstances as Kunzite, namely for manic depression or
schizophrenia. This is one of the most soothing and relaxing stones. It is a
beauty to look at, and calms the mind enabling it to concentrate on the TRUE
source of a problem...instead of running around in frantic circles
accomplishing nothing. The more rubellite in the
stone, the better it will help the heart and mind work together.
Lepidolite has been used as a source
of lithium. The above description of the appearance of this stone may be
deceiving, as I found Cunningham's to be, also. All of the specimens of this
stone that I have seen so far have been gray to a pale
lavender gray with "sparkles" of the lithium mica embedded in it.
The heart-shaped cabochon that I have also has very distinctive crystals of rubellite (pink tourmaline) and veins of white running
through it. It is unusual, also, to find specimens that are cut and polished.
Usually the stone is too "crumbly" to take a good polish. However,
it is equally handsome in rough form.
Aids muscles, strengthens heart, beneficially influences blood. High lithium content aids
emotional/mental balance and stability. Aids sleep. Enhances expression of
one's inner light and joy.

LODESTONE
Metallic black, natural magnet. Related to hematite. Used for grounding,
clear thinking; focus on detail work, decisions. Electro magnetically pulls
toxic blocks. Old story of its use for faithfulness test: Unfaithful one is
said to fall out of bed if touched by this stone.
|
|
MALACHITE
It is said that if malachite is worn, it will break into pieces to warn the
wearer of danger.
Used
to direct power towards magical goals. Protective, especially towards
children. According to Cunningham, Small pieces of malachite placed in each
corner of a business building or a small piece placed in the cash register
draws customers. Worn during business meetings or trade shows, it increases
your ability to obtain good deals and sales. It is the salesperson's stone.
If
the malachite is of the blue-green variety, it can be associated with the
Sacral Center, or Splenic
Chakra (Svadisthana). Here, it's
energy branches to the left, to the spleen. (It is intended in this position
for those who are celibate.) In addition, if it is grass green, it can be
used at the Lumbar/Solar Plexus Center. "When the malachite is placed at
the solar plexus and a piece of green jade is placed at the heart center and
a double-terminated quartz crystal is placed between them, people may
remember events that have been blocked for years. They may cry or scream. As
these buried emotions are brought to the surface and released, a great weight
is lifted and they soon feel renewed."
Be
very careful about using Malachite. The emotions that it releases can be very
powerful, to the point of overwhelming some people. On the other hand, if the
individual is ready to deal with them (in a "growth" period) it may
work out just fine. You could "balance" the emotional content with
a pink stone (such as rose quartz) to cut down some on the intensity. Acts as
a purge and a mirror to the subconscious,
reflecting into the conscious mind that which needs to be cleansed. It
absorbs energy, so it is good to place over diseased or painful areas to draw
out negative energy. It is important to cleanse these stones after every use
but saltwater is too harsh. Serves best over the solar plexus to clear static
or repressed emotions (use aventurine to soothe).
Purifies the digestive system, balances blood sugar and bile levels.
Salesperson's stone. A small piece in the cash register draws customers. Aids
functions of pancreas and spleen. Reduces stress and tension. Aids tissue
regeneration. Strengthens heart, circulatory system, pineal and pituitary
glands. Aids sleep. Vitalizing for body/mind. Reveals subconscious blocks.
Excellent balancer on all levels. Steady pulsing electromagnetic energy.
(High copper content) Malachite and azurite are the same chemical,
practically, Copper Carbonate. The only difference is the ordering of the
elements in the molecule. On brow: Stimulates physical and psychic vision,
concentration. For heart and solar plexus centers: Stomach, liver, kidney
stones, lungs, immune system, radiation, MS, circulation. Powerful healer
with azurite or chrysocolla for healing: Releases and draws out pain,
inflammation, depression, anger; heals blocks. Protects well by powerfully
cleaning the aura field, rapidly absorbing
undesirable energies, including: computer, TV, and other radiation, etc.
Place in the 4 corners of a room to cleanse carpet toxins/gases. Clean very
frequently -- daily if possible!

MOONSTONE
This stone has always been revered because of its lunar attraction. It was
believed that the shiller in the stone would follow
the cycles of the moon. (Becoming greatest when the moon was full.) In
addition, it has always been considered a "feminine, or Goddess"
stone. Meditation with moonstone calls into consciousness the three-form moon
phase goddesses, Diana/Selene/Hecate, the waxing,
Full and waning Moon. These are woman as goddess in her ages and
contradictions, Maiden/ Mother/Crone. Cunningham favors this stone for spells
involving love. In addition he has a longish essay on using it for a
"diet" stone. Because of it's feminine
nature, Moonstone has long been considered a "women's healing
stone". It is used traditionally for healing/balancing of female organs
and hormones. It is receptive and comes in blue, white, or pink opalescent
colors. It has long been dedicated to the Moon goddess. It is protective and
should be carried when away from home. If you are on a diet, wear a charged
moonstone and reprogram your eating habits. Eat light meals with lots of
steamed vegetables and fresh fruit, avoiding sugar and red meats. Use
Moonstone at the Transpersonal Point, for connection to the Goddess and
Universal Feminine Energy. This is the connection to dreams and dreaming,
feminine "intuition", and "cycles". There are cycles of
time, seasons, the moon, stars, etc. Also use/give this stone for those
clients who are having difficulty being in tune with the feminine side of
their nature. (Everyone has a masculine and a feminine side.) In the past,
this stone has also been called "Cylon
Opal".
Bestows
the gift of prophecy and second sight. Heightens psychic sensitivity and
trance states. A psychic mirror (feminine) for the emotions. Brings happy
love experiences. Accentuates the receptive (feminine) qualities of the
personality. Renews or maintains a youthful appearance and attitude. Helps
you lose weight - rub over problem areas. Helps balance women's cycles and is
of considerable aid during the birthing process.
A
stone of good fortune and a gift between lovers to insure enduring love as
opposed to passionate but short term love. It is not a stone for everyone, as
it will indicate mood and personality by changing color and transparency to
reflect the feelings of the wearer. It also changes to suit the phase of the
moon, i.e. waxing grows brighter, full color, waning grows darker. They aid
in the accuracy of scrying and divination
especially if held by the client. It reunites lovers and loved ones who have
parted in anger, protects those who travel on water, and clears the mind of
confusion and aids in clear, concise decision making. Has healing affinity
with stomach, spleen, pancreas, and pituitary gland. Unlocks lymphatic
system. Relieves anxiety and stress. Aids birthing process, helps female
problems. Emotional balancer; helps lessen tendency to over-react
emotionally. Flexibility in attitudes. Aligns emotions with higher self.

Grey Moonstone: Helps one accept other stone's powers by cleansing
blocks. This can be hard to wear.
Invoking the reflective, intuitive power and Goddess energy of the waning
moon, this silver-grey stone eases frustrations and lends a greater ability to flow and move in harmony natural tides of life.
|
|
Orange Moonstone: Helps one accept other stone's help by
comforting you. This is less powerful than white - but helpful when one
really needs a certain stone.
|
|
White Moonstone: Helps one accept other stone's help through
highlighting the others effects. I like this moonstone the most. When worn by
itself is balances yin/yang.

OBSIDIANS

OBSIDIAN
Polished pieces of black Obsidian have been used for Scrying.
Primitive peoples once valued obsidian highly, chipping and flaking it into knives, spearheads, and many other
implements with razor-sharp edges resulting from the intersecting conchoidal fractures. It is projective and is used for
grounding and divination. Obsidian is naturally occurring glass: it is simply lava that cooled so fast that the minerals contained
within didn't have time to form. The ancient Aztecs fashioned it into
mirrors. It also was popular for fashioning stone knives and spearheads. In
Mexico
obsidian is still fashioned for scrying tools. For
some, the blackness of the stone allows easier contact with the subconscious
mind. Obsidian is a very protective stone. It is also associated with the
inner mysteries of the Goddess, symbolizing entrance to the labyrinth, the womb or the subconscious self.
Because
of its protective qualities, Obsidian is a good stone for those who are
softhearted and gentle. It will help to guard them against abuse. This stone
cleanses toxins from the liver, so it is also good for people who are exposed
to environmental pollutants. This is the "balance" stone for Clear
Quartz Crystals. It will absorb all sorts of negative things. It is also a
grounding stone, and uses it at the Base Chakra (below the feet) at the
beginning of a layout to keep "grounded". In
India, the women wear obsidian
toe rings for the same purpose. Use Black Obsidian in conjunction with
Quartz. If not using Clear Quartz, use Snowflake Obsidian. Protective stone:
helps prevent emotional draining by others and prevents the softhearted from
being misused. A psychic mirror (masculine) for hidden emotions. Help you
accept higher vibrations. Involved with survival bringing body and spirit
together. Grounding.
Solid/translucent
black to smoky. (Incl. "Navaho/Apache Tears") Objectivity, non attachment, grounding. Reduces fantasy/escapism.
Absorbs and dissolves anger, criticism, fear, thus
protective. Unusual black stone: Absorbs dark and converts to white light.
Friendly. Can't be misused. Root Chakra. Brings
higher Chakra light into lower ones; cleanses,
uplifts. Changes fear into flexibility with change.
Obsidian
balls: help to see truths by initially amplifying beliefs, patterns, fears,
blocking our growth.

physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual
centers and can be used in the elimination of energy blockages and in the

Obsidian.

RAINBOW OBSIDIAN
Shows the presence of light within darkness. Purpose is to show mankind and womankind
that within darkness of despair and depression, there is a light of hope and
healing. Within the darkness every color of the rainbow is vibrating with a
purpose. More likely to be love:-) The black
color may be a veil or an illusion; we must go to a deeper level to discover
the light. Obsidian reflects our true-selves.....the good AND the bad.
Helps us to understand the dark side of ourselves so we can walk into the
light. A circle of color in rainbow obsidian /compared to rings: The circle
of color seems to be more of a focusing point; where the rings are secondary
but still in unison. Cannot have a ring without a circle of color and
vice a versa. Maybe the circle of color is the heart chakra and the rings
relate to the other chakras.
The circle of color is the physical body while the rings represent the
etheric, emotional, mental, astral, celestial and ketheric bodies. Each ring maybe
a past life. You can use Obsidian to tap into these lives to see where
one went wrong and correct the behavior. A mirror which reflects our
weaknesses, allowing us to become aware of our dark side. Obsidian is
associated with negativity because of this. People are fearful of their
dark side so they avoid Obsidian. Being Obsidian is natural glass, it seems
it would allow one clarity into their lives. It is
from a volcanic flow, so therefore Obsidian could help us to flow with life

ONYX
A variety of chalcedony. Relieves stress. Balances male/female polarities.
Strengthens bone marrow. Aids detachment. Enhances emotional balance and
self-control. Higher inspiration. Works with chakras and attitudes according
to color of stone. Onyx is a projective stone used for protection, defensive
magic and when facing adversity. In ancient times onyx was thought to be an
imprisoned deity. It is worn to still sexual desires. Natural sexual impulses
exist for pleasure, union with another and the divine. Suppression of this
desire leads to hatred, isolation and lessening
respect for all life forms. In this present day, sex is risky. Wear this
stone to control ones desires when there is no chance of quenching it with
your partner. When you are with your loved one again, stimulate your desires
with a diamond or carnelian. See also: carnelian and diamond

OPAL
Opal
is a birthstone for October. Opals have traditionally been considered
"lucky" stones...but only for those born in the month of October.
It has been considered bad luck to wear them if you were born in any other month. Opal is considered to be able
to confer the gift of invisibility on its wearer. To accomplish this,
Cunningham says, "The gem was wrapped in a fresh bay leaf and carried
for this purpose." He also says, "Opals are also worn to bring out
inner beauty. A beauty spell: Place a round mirror on the altar or behind it
so that you can see your face within it while kneeling. Place two green candles
on either side of the mirror. Light the candles. Empower an opal with your
need for beauty -- while holding the stone, gaze into your reflection. With
the scalpel of your visualization, mold and form your face (and your body) to
the form you desire. Then, carry or wear the opal and dedicate yourself to
improving your appearance."
Opals
contain all the colors of the other stones, thus, it
could be used in place of any of them. (They are akin to quartz crystals, in
this aspect.) Generally speaking, Opal is used more
frequently for healing the spirit, rather than the physical body. The opal is
projective and receptive. The opal contains colors as well as the qualities
of every other stone. The ancients used it to promote astral projection. They
can be used to recall past incarnations. Opals are worn to bring out ones
inner beauty.

FIRE OPAL
Fire opals are used in drawing money.

Black Opal
See self as Soul. I find this stone is great for helping one see the
possibilities of how one can be all they can be. This stone seems to
strengthen bones too. Black opals are prized by magicians and Wicca's to
increase the power aroused and released from the body during magical rites.
They are protective and invigorating. Use them during Journeying, and when
doing "readings" for other...anything where using altered states of
consciousness. They help to understand the symbols of visions in a way that
makes them meaningful. This stone carries immense quantities of energy, both
positive and negative and is thus the stone of fortune and misfortune. It is
also called the stone of the Gods since it carries all colors. It represents
all four elements. It attracts to the wearer whatever is written on its self.
It opens the visionary aspects of the mind and encourages and aids visions
and psychic journeying. It also strengthens memory and revives and clears the
mind. It is also used in prophecy and divination by placing over the third
eye.
It
offers protection from eye diseases (often by being wrapped in a bay leaf and
being placed on the eyelid) it is used to grant wishes and to add to magickal
workings. Placed in the left hand it gives affirmation of purpose, in the
right hand it will strengthen the work its self.
Placed on the forehead, it gives direction to thoughts and gives direct
linkage to Mercury.
It
provided strong aid when offering help and guidance for others but may be
quite negative when used selfishly for ones self. Opals are absorptive; they
pick up energy of every type around them. They do not water. When surrounded
by positive ness and security, they are quite clean and they are quite clear
and bright but when negativity comes along they become cloudy. They guard a
person's honor. They were once considered to be the
patron stone of thieves. Also they keep the hair from going gray and are
useful against boils. Stimulates pineal and pituitary glands. Aids eyesight.
Emotional balancer. Enhances intuition. The full spectrum of colors resonates
with all chakras. Helps conscious connection with highest aspects of being.

PEARL
Pearl,
like amber, jet, and mother of pearl, is the product of a living creature.
The power is receptive and attracts love, money, protection
and luck. Since the oyster must be killed to obtain the pearl, the use of
pearls in magic may carry a heavy debt. Pearls have long inspired religious
and magical lore. The Romans imported pearls from
Egypt
were they were worn to grant favors from
Isis.
The early Chinese thought pearls fell from the sky when dragons fought
amongst the clouds. They are connected with the moon, so that they should
only be worn at night for magic. Pearls come in many different colors and
have many specific magical uses
