CRYSTAL DELIGHTS

Everyone is attracted to gemstones. Diamonds, Rubies, Emeralds, and

Sapphires are prized the world over. These are indeed precious stones;
they uplift the heart. Their brightness is what most people think of when
they hear the word "crystal." Equally prized are the semiprecious stones
such as Carnelian, Garnet, Rock Crystal, and Lapis Lazuli. They have been
used for ornamentation and as a symbol of power for thousands of years.
But such crystals were valued for more than their beauty-they each had
a sacred meaning. In ancient cultures their healing properties were as
important as their ability to adorn.
Crystals still have the same properties today but not all are as
flamboyant as gemstones. There are quieter, less outwardly attractive
crystals that are nonetheless extremely powerful. Gemstones themselves
can easily be overlooked when in their natural, uncut state but their
attributes remain the same, and an uncut Sapphire,Jor instance, which
costs a fraction of the price of a faceted stone, is as effective as the most
scintillating cut gem.
Most people arefamiliar with the crystals that have been aroundfor
years such as Amethyst, Malachite, and Obsidian but nowadays new
crystals such as Larimar, Petalite, and Phenacite arefinding their way into

10
 C R Y S TA L DE L I GHTS

stores. These are "stonesfor the New Age." They have made themselves
known to facilitate the evolution of the earth and all those upon it. These
crystals have an extremely high vibration that raises consciousness and
opens the higher chakras* to communicate with other dimensions. Knowing
how to use these crystals is vital if you are to make use of the gifts they offer.
This book has been divided into sections that will help you to find your
way around the crystal kingdom. Containing everything you could ever
need to know, these sections tell you about the delights of crystals, their
healing use and decorative features, how they were formed, and how to
take care of them. There is a Crystal Reference at thefront so that you
can look up a particular crystal by the name by which you know it, and
thenfind its properties in an extensive Directory section, which also
enables you to identify crystals. The comprehensive Index at the back is
cross-referenced to symptoms and attributes; you can use this to find a
crystal for a specific task, orfor your particular purpose. The Glossary on
pages 378-383 defines terms that you may not be familiar with.
Crystals come in numerous shapes and many of these have now been
given names that signify theirfunction, such as channeling or abundance
crystals. if you want to identify a particular facet shape or to know what
a certain type of crystal/oaks like, browse through Crystal Shapes. This
section isfollowed by Quick Reference pages that give you useful
information such as the Body and Zodiac Crystal Correspondences,
Gem Remedies, Healing Layouts, and a Love Ritual.

 CRYSTAL CARE

CRYSTAL CARE

Many crystals are fragile or friable. Crystals that are layered or clustered

can separate. Crystals such as Selenite are water soluble. Polished

surfaces or natural points are easily scratched or damaged. Tumbled

stones are more durable. End less hours turning in fine grit gives them

a tough surface. You can keep tumbled stones together in a bag but

other crystals should be kept apart.

When not in use, wrap your crystals in a silk or velvet scarf. This

prevents scratching and protects the crystal against a bsorbing foreign

emanations. Crystals need to be cleansed when you buy them and after

wearing or using for healing. Always cleanse jewelry that comes to you

from someone else, as it can hold their negative vibrations and pass

them on to you.
..

A few crystals never need cleansing. Citrine, l<yanite, and Azeztulite

are self-cleaning. Clear Quartz and Carnelian cleanse other crystals, and

are especially useful for delicate and friable stones, but may need

cleaning themselves afterward .

Tumbled stones

CRYSTAL MEDITATION EXERCISE

Making sure that you will not be disturbed, especially by a phone, settle
yourself comfortably with your crystal. Hold it in both hands or place it on
a low table infront of you.
Breathe gently, letting each out-breath be a little longer than the in­
breath. As you breathe out, let go of any stress or tension you may be
feeling. As you breathe in, let peace flow with your in-breath passing right
through your body Allow your breathing to settle into an easy rhythm.
With softlyfocused eyes, look at your crystal. Notice its color, its shape, its
weight if you are holding it. Feel its vibrations passing into your hands.
Allow yourself to wander within the crystal, exploring its inner planes.
When you are ready, close your eyes. Quietly contemplate the energies of
the crystal and let it teach you about itself
When you have completed the meditation, open your eyes and put the
crystal aside. Place your feet firmly on the floor. To ground yourself, hold
a Smoky Quartz or Boji Stone.

Crystals come in a l l s h a pes a n d s i zes. Some h ave n at u ra l facets a n d

a lone. There a re crystals that a re formed i n l ayers a n d others that a re
formed i n bu bbles. Some occ u r nat u ra l ly; others a re a rt i fi cia l ly cut to
a precise s h a pe. Each s h a pe has its own attributes a n d a pp l i cation.
Knowing how to use these different sha pes opens the way to magical
possibil ities. For exa m ple, you can u se the a b i l ity of Qua rtz to store
i nformation rather as a com p uter does. Some s h a pes open a wi ndow i nto
a n other world-past, present, or future, ea rth ly or extraterrestrial. Others
attract a sou l mate or b r i n g a b u nda nce i nto you r l ife.
A geode with its cave l i ke center gathers a n d holds energy, relea s i n g it
slowly, w h i le a c l u ster rad i ates it out ra p i d ly in a l l d i rections. These s h a pe­

Crystals can be used in ritual; here is an example using Rose Quartz to Invoke

love. You need four pieces of Rose Quartz and a large Amethyst. You also need

candles and candleholders-which could be fashioned from Rose Quartz.

1 Place your crystals and four candles on a table covered with a silk cloth.

Place one candle to the north, welcoming the spirits of that direction as

you light it. Then place the others to the south, east, and west, again

welcoming the spirits of each d i rection as you light each candle. Ask that

these spirits act as guardians and keep you safe.

2 Take your Rose Quartz crystals into your hands and sit facing your table

(if the crystals are large, do one at a time.] Close your eyes and quietly

attune to the crystals. Let their energy flow through your hands, up your

arms, and into your heart. As the energy reaches your heart, feel it open

and expand. Touch the crystals to your heart. Rose Quartz is a powerful

heaJt cleanser and healer, so allow your heart to be pu rified by the energies

of the crystals.

3 Then say, out loud: "I am a magnet for Jove. I welcome Jove into my

heart." Place the crystals around the Amethyst on the table and say out

loud: "And Jove into my life . " Sit q uietly for a few moments with your eyes

focused on the crystals. When you are ready to complete the ritual, get u p

a n d blow o u t each candle i n turn, saying: "I s e n d y o u r light and Jove into the

world." Either leave the crystals on the table or place them around your bed.

AUTHOR ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
My knowledge of crystals h a s been acqui red over t h i rty years. m u c h of 1t from intu itive use. However.
the books in the b i b l iography provided additional material for t h i s d i recto ry. I would also l i ke to t h a n k
Pat Goodenough, Trudi Green, a n d D a w n Robins for practical, hands-on teaching and crystal contact.
As a lways. the assistance of Steve, Jackie, and the rest of the staff at Ea rthworks, Poole, has been
invaluable i n co m p i l i n g t h i s book and sourcing appropriate crystals. Clive at Earth Design,
Broadwindsor. introduced m e to some remarkable crystals, a s did M i ke at The Dorset Ped l a r. Brid port.
And finally, I could not work with crystals and much else besides without Crysta l Clear. for which
I thank David Eastoe.
