A woman looked at the layout of tarot cards, examining the over all feel of the results of the question from the young brunette woman sitting across from her. The young girl was nearly trembling, her question of great importance in her life and the results of this reading could very well change her decision and even her life. The woman doing the reading held a crystal in her hand tightly as she began to tell the woman what each card meant and as she began to talk of how it related to the young woman's problem the crystal began to warm in her hand, letting her know she was on the right track. She could see the answers and realizations forming in the young girl's eyes as she patiently listened to her. The crystal continued to warm in her hand until she could feel the warmth deep down within her.
Crystals are often used for healing and protection but first we need to figure out what is a crystal.
Crystals are the raw form of some gemstones but not all gemstones form from crystals. Some gemstones that do form from crystals are different kinds of quartz, amethyst, rubies, diamonds, emeralds, topaz and sapphires. These are their raw form, having not been shaped or polished. They often look like this before being broken apart and shaped into a stone we often see in jewelry and have inclusions and a asymmetric and geometric appearance:
They can be used for many things other than just looking beautiful. Here are some uses for some of the ones I mentioned earlier:
Amethyst: Protection and increasing intuition
Emerald: Clear emotional blockages and understanding life changes.
Diamond: "Essence of the stars"
Yellow or Gold Topaz: Removing artistic blocks and allowing creativity through (poo now I have a new appreciation for my birthstone, lol)
Blue Topaz: Clarity of thought and clears communication
Now each has many more uses and there are many more colors and kinds of crystals but it would take a lot more time than I have to include all of that here. Plus I wanted to explain my first experiences with crystals and what I use mine for.
I was still fairly new to a lot of this when my mother in law and I got to talking about them and that was when I found out how to tell if I crystal is right for you. I'm not sure if this is how many others feel but it works for me and just like with Tarot cards I go for that which calls to me. :D You hold it in your hand and if you can feel something from it, a warmth, vibration, etc. then it will work well for you. Together with this I use mine as the story above describes; a way to help when reading Tarot cards. My MIL says she knows when she's on the right track when she can feel the crystal heating her palm and after finding a crystal I knew exactly what she was talking about. Other than this use I really haven't used one for much else.
Do you use crystals? What have you used them for? Have you heard about finding a crystal that's right for you or using to aid divination?
