Stone and Crystal Properties
 

Below is a collection of information regarding stones and crystals and their properties. I have left off the medical uses, as I do not offer this information as a substitute for medical treatment, but to augment modern medicine. I also do not offer this information as a substitute for proper mental health treatment, but I do find that holding certain stones and crystals, and feeling their unique vibrations, has an effect on the human mental state, and can offer calm and quiet to a mind that is in emotional unrest. I also offer the magical properties of these stones for you to add to your knowledge base. Use the crystals and stones to the best of their, and your, abilities.

Most of these crystals and stones work best in relation to color magic and the chakras. If you are familiar with these, you can make even better use of the properties of these. If not, a trip to the library will help, as there are many books available on the chakras and a colors these days. Also, a trip to the library will yield many books on the stones and crystals mentioned below, offering you pictures to help you identify these stones when you go to find or purchase them.

Always looking for something to add to make understanding easier, Amazon books has many books on Crystals, stones and the properties of these. Take a look at what is to offer, you may find something that interests you.
