Guest guest Posted December 16, 2001 Report Share Posted December 16, 2001 Hi all........ would like to hear your thoughts on this current practice of coating our wonderful crystals.... i don't find these crystals healing in any way to me ..... in actual fact it gives me the opposite effect ..... shows once again how humans disrespect nature and its gifts .... for superficial appearance ...... a marketing ploy to sell otherwise " second rate " crystals that would not be normally a viable selling piece ....... when i first saw these coated crystals, tears came to my eyes ...... i felt the crystal was sentenced to a life of entombment ..... buried alive and suffocating ..... when i held it i felt great distain and deep heartache and remorse for what the human race has done to the natural beauty of our planet .... for all those who really are connected to the energies of crystals and not just reliant upon what the literature in books tell you of crystal's properties ..... can you really say that these coated crystals give you an uplifting energy? .... maybe its just me but i find when i am in the presence of these crystals i want to shout to all to look at what we together as a human race have done to our fellow humans and nature and NOW to our crystal friends ..... i hear these crystals cry .....

While I really don't like the look and feel of dyed agates and onyx, I am very much drawn to aqua aura, quartz enhanced with pure gold. This turns the crystal into a lovely shade of light blue. Melody on aqua aura: These crystals combine both the properties of quartz and gold to produce a very intense energy. In addition to the properties of the parts, this crystal form also stimulates the throat chakra and encourages " opening to channel " . It has also been used to activate the energy of other minerals for healing. It has been used extensively to cleanse and to smooth the aura, to activate all the chakras, and to release negativity from ones emotional, physical, intellectual, and spiritual bodies. I am watching one on Ebay now. Namaste, Sally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 19, 2001 Report Share Posted December 19, 2001 Hi Anna...... you wrote..... " I disagree from a theoretical basis that colored howlite, etc., could not be used in the same fashion as turquoise. It would not carry the same mineral property, but it would carry the same color property & therefore produce the same color healing effects. So it could be regarded as a form of color healling. " ....... just what were you disagreeing with here? ..... since I expressed the very same view in my post to Peggy ..... " firstly you mentioned the colour enhanced agates .... i would tend to agree somewhat with what you have found for the main reason being that this supports using Colour healing with minerals .... our crystal/stone friends certainly give us many avenues to use them for our wellbeing .... healing through their reflected colour is certainly one method " Anna, I found this view that you stated interesting ..... " natural smoky quartz is formed when quartz is exposed to radiation in nature. Why is that okay but a human using radiation to form smoky quartz not okay? Is it because of the time factor, and how much radiation is used? Who is to say how much time & how little radiation is okay--in other words, where is the drawing line? " Smoky quartz is formed from exposure to radiation in nature ...... this is a needed aspect for its FORMATION ..... this is its growth process of crystal formation ...... its emmergence into its form ...... the difference with this formation and the human using radiation to form smoky quartz is that the human takes the crystal and subjects it to this treatment AFTER the crystal already has been formed .... there is a difference Anna..... You further stated, " Same with citrine. The amethyst gets heated to high temps in nature. Perhaps the amethyst and clear quartz " happened " to arrange themselves to be in the lots that got irradiated. " ........ yes perhaps the same could be said for the Jews who went to the gas chambers! Another aspect I found of interest that you stated in your post " Radiation is not always evil 100% of the time. Radiation is harmful to organic cells, but I don't think one can extrapolate from that and say that devas are hurt by it. Radiation is also the energy source of the world; " ........ yes and that is why our wonderful world has its own protective sunscreen " the ozone layer " .... 3 little molecules of oxygen banding together to form ozone, to block out a great deal of the " harmful " rays from reaching earth .... and we know what is happening with the ozone layer! I will only use what feels correct for me and my intuitive knowing, regarding my crystal friends ....... irradiated crystals, gold or titanium coated crystals and colour enhanced stones are subjected to this human treatment AFTER their formation ..... this may feel ok for you Anna.
