Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Alright so, before I begin, to those who are new with Crystal/ Stone healing/ meditating. These are my own interpretations, based off of my own experiences with stones. These are not 100% accurate in what to use the stones for, or what their purposes are. Please note that in the picture I have also labeled them. I tried making them as clear as possible, and hope that this help some of you out. Always do your own research. Alright now that that's out of the way... These stones are absolutely gorgeous! They are about the size of my thumb, around tip of thumb to knuckle of thumb. They are full of positive energy and are charged. They came very well packaged and the velvet bag is stunning. I will be purchasing from this company again. I do wish it came with a pamphlet or something for beginner's, or for people coming back into the swing of things that need a refresher. Other than that, definately a good purchase. Now onto the tips and tricks, you can skip all this and carryon your day or read on, power through the small novel I have written as a review. I reccomend cleansing and charging your crystals/ stones before you first use them. This is just as a precaution and to get the most from your crystals. Also it helps you to connect with your new stones and really make them your own before that first meditation, you'll feel a bit more connected and possibly in tune with the crystals before that first meditation. So to cleanse them, I reccomend filling a bowl with uncooked rice, and placing the stones in the bowl (follow your intuition on if you should bury the stones or leave them unburied, for each stone.) For 24 hours. The rice can either be white or brown, it doesn't matter. But after 24 hours, remove the stones and throw away the uncooked rice. You don't need that negativity in your life! This is the safest and least damaging way to cleanse your stones, do this often (once a week- every two weeks- once a month, you decide how often) it helps to purify the stones and rid them of any negative emotions that you may have stored in them. If you have a really stressful weak, because Adulting is tough man, or you've just received some bad news, like a friend passing or a loved one (my condolences) and you meditated with the crystals to clear your mind, I would kindly suggest cleansing and charging them. If you don't use them that often, but you forgot when you last cleansed/ charged them., cleanse/ charge them. You can also rinse them in salt water, however I recommend not doing this, as some of the crystals could actually erode or break apart. This method should only be used if you know that the stone is safe to immerse in water. Some crystals that should not be submerged/ ran under in water are:  Selenite, Malachite, Lapis Lazuli, Fluorite, Calcite, Desert Rose, Labradorite, or Halite. There are more, they are just escaping my mind right now. Do your research, and decide what's best for you and your crystals/ stones :) To charge them is a little bit of a longer process, you can either charge them by placing them in a window, or outside on a patio (as long as theres no raccoons who love shiny rocks) on a full moon. Let them bathe in the light of the moon for the night. Now some people will say sunlight works just as well, and it does, however it causes your stones to fade and sometimes that's ok, it builds the character of the stone. I just personally for the first year, bathe them in moonlight. You may also place a stone in the center and create a circle with your other stones around the center stone. Leave the center stone there for 24 hours and slowly rotate your stones/crystals until all of them have been in the center. Or you can bury them in the earth for 24 hours, just make sure to mark where you buried them. This ensures that you are harnessing the power of nature in its purest form, and the stones just resonate beautifully afterwords. Just make sure its in a dry patch where your sprinklers won't soak your stones, as stated before this can permanently damage your Stones. Do your research. Now that we've went over the cleansing, here is a small idea of what each stone means, what chakras they focus on, and what their healing properties are for me personally. As you continue on your own journey the stones will have their own personal meaning for you. These meanings are just basic and will change over time. Everyone is diffrent, and that the beauty if it! It could mean something completely diffrent in 5 years from now. Just have fun, do your research and be careful. 1) Green Aventurine  Chakra: Heart  Green Aventurine is known as the “Stone of Opportunity,” thought to be the luckiest of all crystals, especially in manifesting prosperity and wealth, or for increasing favor in competitions or games of chance.

Use red jasper with the clear quartz one day during meditation or yoga, then rotate it to the Lapis Lazuli the next day with the Crystal quartz. Really it's up to you, as I said before, this is just how I have done it, it is by no means the correct, or the most useful way. Do your research, come to your own conclusions.
