What are you absolutely favourite stone? and why?

[A peaceful mind.]

I hope this thread would share some light on different kinds of stone and how they work.

My absolute favorite stone of them all is

The Herkimer diamond

Herkimer diamonds aren't diamonds. They are quartz formations which, because of their brilliance and diamond shape they've been given that name
In crystal layouts these are probably the most effective crystals to use to release energy blockages. They are particularly helpful when placed between chakras.


A Herkimer diamond, like all forms of clear quartz, will enhance the energy of any crystal it is placed within a crystal layout.


One last quality of Herkimer diamonds is that they seem to have the ability to raise human energy levels, and are thus recommended whenever you need more cheer in your life.


With a long list of attributes that make them valuable to anyone who uses crystals in conjunction with their spiritual work, Herkimer diamonds are reputed to induce joy, inspire independence, improve every type of relationship, make it easier to access the higher spiritual realms, and enhance everything that happens in the dream state. If you take the time to experiment, what you discover about these unique crystals will show you exactly why these properties have been attached to them.

Thanks for sharing, will read up on the Herkimer diamond as it sounds perfect for me right now.

Being fairly new to working with crystals, the one which has become prominent (cant put it down) is a yellow citrine, when I hold it my throat chakra immediately activates (not sure what this means at the moment) and I get a rush of emotion and happiness and a sort of 'knowing'.

Rose quartz is another which gives a certain feeling and awakening for me.

I will watch this thread with great interest

My Rose Quartz, it fits perfectly in my hand and I've spent nearly every night with it for the last few years.

It's with me when I'm dreaming, cleansing and healing and other times it's just there.

My Tiger's Eye is important too, it opens my eyes!

Love and hugs

I love my little herkimer diamonds, they vibrate with such high loving frequency, and get so excited whenever i hold them :) awwwww.

My favourites always change...
Right now I am in love with Charoite, the beautiful purple ray stone, and i carry it in my medicine pouch at all times. It is a perfect teacher and guide for my spiritual life path right now, i think all shamans and medicine people should have a piece of charoite. It is a powerful cleanser of the spirit body, and is a great protector against psychic attacks and all negativity.

It brings up subconscious fears, and gives love and courage to face shadows and fears, and gives healing to old patterns and imbalance, it is a transformation stone, so do not get charoite if you do not want to work on your self in order to transform, but this is necessary if ones life path is to be a healer. It also helps in accessing past life memories - and aids in mending past life wounds.
Charoite also helps merge the heart and the crown chakra together, which allows for deeper spiritual abilities merged with unconditional love. It is the stone for revealing ones path of service, and it is inclined to helping us stick to our path of service in many ways. It's a highly spiritual stone, and helps with pretty much all one would want to learn spiritually.
The chakras it opens is, Crown, Third Eye, Soul Star, Solar Plexus, Root, and Earth Star.
Just like Moldavite, Charoite is a strict, clear and powerful teacher, and when one tries to stray for their spiritual path and work, Charoite will intervene.
It's my favourite stone right now :)

Since i am bored and cannot sleep, i'm going to document my other three top favez!

Azurite - It is the perfect blue ray stone, great for activating the third eye and crown, and i love my little azurite :) Strong amazing vibration, great personality, good for strengthening the etheric body, and aura. Awakens intuition and psychic ability, it's the stone of vision, assists in past life recall. great spiritual stone.

Merkibite Calcite - This stone, is the most amazing stone - it works on the third eye chakras all the way to the crown, all the way and beyond the crown, through the etheric, 8th chakra and beyond! It can take you on travels to different dimensions and higher frequencies, this stone is one of the highest frequency stones. It's named after the Merkabah. They tap into the inner template to ascension of ones consciousness.

Green BC Jade: one of my native spirit guides wears a jade necklace, thus i too wear a jade necklace, it looks amazing, but jade is an amazing stone for opening the heart chakra and all aspects of opening to and feeling love, and apparently it also attracts riches and abundance and happiness to ones life, as well as another feature i enjoy, is it helps balance and root you to nature, so wherever you are, you can always feel connected to mother earth.

Scolecite for clearing and peace.

Nuummite,

At 3 Billion years old it is one of the oldest rocks and the planet , I cannot begin to describe the magic and potency within this stone.


Here is an article about it which I wrote and published last year

As well as wandering the moors, I also wander the sea shore, beachcombing. On my beach, nearby, I have found lots of hag stones and small pieces of amber [North Sea coast] but my prize possession from that beach is a flint arrow head - the mythical elf bolt ! I think it must have been washed up from the Drowned Doggerland.

opal my birthstone is the first thing that comes to mind, but also my clear quartz crystal that i love that i found in the forest as a child. it was definitely put there for me by my guide. hmm apparently it doesn't like being photographed since i can't get a decent picture. anyway it has a small partially embedded full crystal inside it (with the lower end out a little along the back) and it's a solid 7 sided that is about 2" long and has a little bit of iridescence to it. i've read that a partially embedded crystal is good for past life memories which has always seemed to be a talent? vision? whatever you want to call it haha of mine so it just is really a fitting stone for me :)

I have a lovely herkimer diamond pendant. It's set in yellow gold and has a small saphire mounted in the center of the band of gold wrapped around (and securing) the herkimer. I know all quarts crystals are amplifiers, so the energy of the saphire is amplified by it's close proximity to the herkimer. Herkimers are small but mighty! They are naturally double terminated, immensely clear, very sparkly and pack a powerful energetic punch. I adore mine!
