Hi there, my name is Mark and I am excited to hear from other people who love crystals. I have been collecting crystals for only about 2 years, but have a real love for them. I know many of them have metaphysical properties, and I am sort of interested in that, but why I really collect them is my love of their natural beauty, like art from the earth.
I live in Victoria, BC Canada, which is sort of the hippie/spiritual capital of Canada, and has the most active presence of whichcraft ( I'm not into that, but it's O.K if you are. My girlfriend used to be into that ( white magic tho ) but now she mostly limits it to crystal use.
My girlfriend collects cut and polished specimens wheras I prefer large natural raw clusters. I will try and post some pictures of my collection. I probably can't remember all of the ones I have purchased but here's an idea
8 LBS smoky citrine cluster
11 LBS Pink quartz cluster
14.9 LBS clear quartz crysanthmum
8 LBS blue Kyanite
17 LBS yellow quartz cluster
10 LBS rose quartz
9 LBS green fluorite
15 LBS Black quartz cluster
12 LBS green ghost phantom quartz cluster
10.5 labradorite
16 LBS ameythyst cluster
6 LBS celestite egg
My newest purchase is not here yet. I just bought a 26 LBS natural citrine cluster ( and yes it's natural and not heat treated ameythest ) All of my specimens are natural not dyed or treated.
My girlfriend has some impressive specimens as well, but she is into smaller cut and polished pieces. She just recieved a 14 LBS crystal point 18 inches long and has some very nice muli coloured tourmaline specimens.
I would love to hear from some other crystal lovers. I don't get a chance to talk about crystals in my everyday life. My better half appreciates them but I can only talk to her so much of course.
