Cleansing crystals and gemstones – Recharging Crystals

While applying healing crystals, one occasionally discovers that they either become ineffective, their effect changes, or they actually feel downright unpleasant. The reason for this is that crystals not only transmit energetic information, but also absorb it. In particular, in the case of intense healing processes “disease information” can be absorbed. This, after some time, may then overshadow the crystal’s inherent “healing information”.

Therefore, prior to beginning, the crystals being applied should be “cleansed” of electrical charges after use. In particular, with direct body contact, many crystals absorb an electrostatic charge. The most extreme case occurs with the use of Amber, which can become quite hot after a couple of minutes application. The best method of discharging the static charge is to hold the crystal under running water for 10-20 seconds.

The absorbed information, however, still remains stored in the crystal after the discharge. Without further cleansing, the information will still be active during the next treatment. In order to delete this information, the crystal can be placed either inside an Amethyst druse or on a piece of an Amethyst druse. Amethyst has a strong, fiery radiation caused by its finely distributed iron atoms and energy concentration; crystals that are energized in this way are freed of the absorbed information. As a rule, this process takes about a day. If the crystal has only been applied for at short time, an hour will be sufficient; however, it will not be harmed if you allow it to remain in the Amethyst druse for a longer time.

As the intensity of a crystal’s effectiveness is connected with the absorbed energy, the cleansed crystals can be recharged in one’s hand or in sunlight (morning or evening). The absorbed heat energy intensifies the crystal’s effect. In many cases, however, such recharging is unnecessary as the crystal has already been warmed up and stimulated by body contact.

Gemstone Healing

Here is a little project that I recently put together.

I asked a friend of mine who works extensively with gemstone healing to supply me with a crystal to help another friend heal from incredible abdominal surgery. Basically they took every thing out, messed around with it and shoved it all back in! My gemstone buddy supplied the following:
Turritella Agate
For swelling of the stomach
Banded Agate
For easing bodily stress
Orange Calcite
For increasing bodily energy
Quartz Crystal
For healing
Amber
For healing

I then put these stones in a small jar after purifying it with candle flame and incense. I sealed the jar with its cork and charged all with Reiki and asked for blessings on the whole.  Now, I don’t expect that my friend will be doing the high dive off of those Mexican cliffs any time soon, but I do hope that the gift will promote swifter healing and less pain. I continue to send Reiki daily.

Just thought I’d share.

History behind amber gemstones

Amber is made up of fossilized tree resin. It is millions of years old. As such, it is a time capsule containing souvenirs from the early history of life on our planet. Ancient beads and carvings testify to the beauty that even prehistoric man found in this organic gem.

Amber is the gem that glows like honey or sun-drops. Most scientists agree that it would be unlikely to find something so ancient. Most amber is 25 to 50 million years old.

The color of amber gem varies from yellow to dark brown to almost black. Amber is very rarely found in green and blue-gray colors. The color of amber denotes the area from where it has originated. Also one can judge the age of the amber from its colour.

The amber gem was used by Paleolithic man in Austria (45000 – 12000 B.C.). The nomadic hunters of the Mesolithic age (12000 – 4000 B.C.) used amber to hunt animals. They carved phases of the moon, hunting seasons and the animals that they hunted on amber.

The Neolithic man (4000-1900 B.C.) started using amber as decorative articles and jewels. The rich people of these societies usually owned amber jewelry and used to gift it to their friends and relatives.

Later, towards the end of the eighth century B.C. the Greeks started using amber for inlay work in gold and ivory. Romans used amber gemstone in the first century B.C to first century A.D, where they made rings and vessels out of amber.

Ancient Greeks called amber ‘Elektron’ – meaning ‘made out of the sun’. One ancient account explains that ‘amber is the juice of the setting sun that congeals in the sea, which is why it can be found on beaches.

The amber stone was mined in the mountains of Lebanon by Aftim Acra, who has a collection of amber pieces containing 700 insects, including termites, moths, caterpillars, spiders, pseudo-scorpions, and midges. More than 1,000 extinct species of insects have been identified in amber.

The two main sources of amber on the market today are the Baltic States and the Dominican Republic. Amber from the Baltic is older and more valuable but amber from the Dominican Republic is more likely to have insect inclusions, which are prized by collectors.

The largest mine in the Baltic region is in Russia, west of Kaliningrad. Baltic amber is found in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, Russia, and occasionally washed up on the shores of the Baltic Sea as far away as Denmark, Norway, and England. Other amber sources include Myanmar (formerly Burma), Lebanon, Sicily, Mexico, Romania, Germany, and Canada.

How does a crystal quartz cluster charge other gemstones?

I just bought a crystal quartz cluster for 20 pounds for the purpose of charging my other gemstones:

Turquise, labradorite, aqua marine, onyx, rose quartz and carnelian..

I know that it cleanses and charges them if you place it on top for 24 hours but how?

What exactly is the process?

What qualities does it imbue on the other crystals?

Answer
Quarts is an amplifier. It helps other stones, and energies become stronger and more clear.
I usually let the crystal speak to me and I like to hand select them. Cleansing the stones is done using salt, then letting the stone sit in the sun and moon light for 24 hours.
Enjoy the energy that they will give back

Crystals for people being abused by others

I wonder if there is any stone someone could recommend for someone who has been abused by others, particularly by those in positions of power? Such as harassment issues? Since this happened I’ve had a lot of pain in my solar plexus, not sure why.
Thanks.

 

  • I’m not surprised that you’ve had issues with your solar plexus chakra since this happened to you – among other things, the solar plexus relates to fear and anxiety (yours) and power (the other person, and the abuse of their power over you by harassing you). Stones I’ve used to help me with solar plexus issues include citrine, orange calcite, amber and yellow jasper. Try making an elixir by placing these crystals (or any of these that you have) in a glass of water.

You could also try kunzite and rhodochrosite to help you with self-worth and self-love, as I suspect the other person’s treatment of you may have made you feel bad about yourself.
Hope this helps!

 

  • I think that fuchsite, black tourmaline, and sunstone would be a beneficial combination. Obsidian too, if you feel called to work with it.

I would include Larimar as well.

 

  • I have some fuchsite but I think it has become overloaded. I wore an onyx and silver ring during my employment there and it received so much negative energy that it actually popped out of the ring base in an effort to protect me.
