Starter stones

[Guest guest]

*Starter stones *

 

*People often wonder just where to start when they want to work with

crystals. quite often some crystal or stone will attract you because it

has healing energies or functions that you would benefit from . You

might start with any number of stones rocks and crystals . There is not

really a wrong way to work with crystal healing energies. Though some

rocks do contain toxic elements and should not be eaten or soaked in

water that will be consumed .*

*Most people want to start with some basic crystals.*

* The most commonly recommend first stone is probably quartz

crystal. A clear single termination (point) quartz crystal is your

basic all purpose stone. It can assist with contact and

communication with your High self and solar angel and increase your

intuition about crystals and can also stand in for any crystal that you

might need but do not have. **Clear quartz is the work horse of the

crystal universe.** Clear quartz points are the all purpose stone.

Most people prefer to keep separate quartz crystals each dedicated to

one purpose rather than using one crystal for multiple purposes .

Rose quartz is almost an absolute must have stone, for heart healing,

inner peace, increasing the ability to give and receive love, healing ,

etc..*

 

* Many people begin with a chakra or rainbow set getting a selection

of stones in each the seven colors of the rainbow plus black ,brown and

white. Size or cost does not matter. but pieces about the size of a

quarter work well. They are small enough to carry and place but not so

small they get lost too easily. Stones this size can be held in the

hand or placed on the body for a laying on of stones healing session.

They can also be used for grids and to make elixirs ( if safe for that

purpose).*

*If you are serious about crystal work you will want at least several

stones of each major color family. and a variety of quartz crystals.

You can build up a nice collection gradually.**There are a large

variety of stones in each color one or two stones of each major color

would be a good start .
