Anyolite, Selenite, & Labradorite

First let me clarify that while I'm fascinated by, believe in, and study (but not nearly enough) metaphysical things such as crystals, I keep a healthy level of skepticism.  I'm not going to come here and preach about the *powers* of anything that I don't (at least partially) believe in enough to continue to meddle in. In other words, I'm not going to lie to you or mislead anyone, and should I try something, or learn something, that I feel is untrue or has failed (in the case of spells, etc.) I will be honest about that. I believe in 100% transparency in my "religion" or "spirituality" or "path", whatever you choose to name it. We all learn by the failures or successes of others.

(Disclaimer here, just because it isn't my truth or has failed for me, doesn't mean it's not true or will fail for you. In fact, if you have a different experience or opinion, please share it with me. I'd love to hear it!) 

As I mentioned in my introduction post, I recently bought a book on crystals and have decided I'm going to have every crystal in it. What I didn't mention in my intro is that I also have a thing for lists and organization (although I'm embarrassingly bad at both). I don't yet have my crystals divided out or even all identified, but that is coming.

This is The Book I'm referring to.

My Crystal Bible

Along with this book, at the same time, I also purchased this little beauty.

Ruby in Zoisite

I'm not one of those people that typically *feels* the vibration or some shit of crystals, but I do on occasion feel drawn to them. I asked to see her from the glass case and when she was placed in my hand, in my head I heard myself say "ok, you're coming home" as if I had been spoken to and answered. I hated to even put her down to keep shopping! She is Ruby in Zoisite (or Anyolite). You can read about Ruby in Zoisite here. I don't usually choose crystals based on what they are carved into, but I also collect skulls, so she was perfect. The shop I found her in also had several other crystal skulls, but she was the only one that was a natural stone as opposed to man-made. Natural is always my top choice.

"Ruby in Zoisite offers the energy of happiness, appreciation, abundance, vitality and growth. It stimulates the heart and helps one to open to divine love. Zoisite helps to alleviate grief, anger, despair and defeat, and it is a powerful stone for deep healing by activating the body’s defences and healing mechanisms.  It is an energising healer on a physical level and is helpful for restoring vitality after radiation, chemotherapy or pharmaceutical treatments.

Healing: helps to alleviate grief, anger, despair and defeat, and it is a powerful stone for deep healing by activating the body's defences and healing mechanisms
Chakras: Base, Heart, Third eye"

And these beautiful little Labradorite hearts.

Labradorite

I'm a sucker for pretty.  

"Labradorite is a highly mystical and protective stone, it works on all areas of the mind and body increasing energy and clarifying thought processes. It is known as the bringer of light and is excellent for meditation, directing energies with more intensity allowing you to connect to your high self and seek out our spiritual purpose. Helps clear and protect your aura. Labradorite stimulates intuition, raising the consciousness and connecting to the universal energy. It is a stone of transformation, reflection and showing true intensions.

Healing: Balances hormones, lowers blood pressure and helps with disorders of the eyes and brain. Helps treats colds.
Chakras: Heart, Third Eye & Crown"

I also don't usually see crystals on Facebook and think I need them either, but I saw these Selenite wands being offered for only the cost of shipping and decided they needed to be with me as well. I ordered from Healing Wands without much expectation (because you know, Facebook and "free") and was pleasantly surprised.

Selenite Wands

"Selenite enhances clarity of the mind and concentration, expanding ones awareness of the self and of ones surroundings and having a positive effect on the brain. It soothes the nerves and enhances willpower.

As I get my crystals organized, I'll be posting more about them here. In the meantime, if you have opinions, advice, or just want to talk, we're here!
