Identifying Crystals

What makes each crystal unique and special is its dynamic composition, which is made up of highly structured patterns of molecules called lattices. As their pattern repeats itself over and over again, shapes and facets with particular types of symmetry are created. In stone identification, crystals are categorized into several types of shapes, which influence their aesthetic and energetic properties.

Crystals such as Pyrite, Diamonds, and Fluorite are cubic lattices created from three equal axes formed into a cube. The balanced structure gives these types of stones a naturally harmonious energy that magnifies everything around it. Crystals can also be hexagonal, like Emerald and Aquamarine, which are shaped in four axes of six-sided symmetry.

Other crystals such as Apophyllite and Zircon are tetragonal, a shape that resembles two four-side pyramids joined at the base. Some crystals aren’t as highly uniformed. In the mineral kingdom, orthorhombic crystals have three unequal axes that form an elongated spear, like Peridot and Topaz. The most asymmetrical of crystal shapes are the triclinic kind like Labradorite and Turquoise while trigonal crystals have an elongated lozenge shape.

Colors are another common crystal identification method. In fact, many gemstone experts classify crystals according to color because of its link with specific healing properties. The color blue, for instance, has a gentle and soothing quality while red is associated with passion and desire. In the gemstone world, colors are also linked with certain types of crystals and how they are used for specific chakras, which are designated energy centers in the body.

Crystal identification by color can be challenging for some crystals like Calcite, Fluorite, and Tourmaline, among others, since they come in different colors. In that case, you should refer to a crystal book or directory that categorizes by color and includes a photo of the specimen. Here is a list of the most widely available crystals to point you in the right direction.

Black – Associated with power, protection, and mystery, commonly available black gemstones include Black Obsidian, Black Tourmaline, Hematite, Jet, and Onyx.

Blue – A tranquil and relaxing color, blue crystals are excellent for emotional and physical balancing. Commonly found crystals in this category are Angelite, Aquamarine, Celestite, and Lapis Lazuli. Blue crystals also include Blue Lace Agate, Apatite, Azurite, Blue Chalcedony, and Chrysocolla.

Brown – Associated with the earth and the trees, brown stones help to absorb negative energy. Harness the earthy healing vibes of brown gemstones with Smoky Quartz, Brown Jasper, Bronzite, Petrified Wood, and Tiger’s Eye.

Yellow and Gold – The color of the sun at full midday strength, yellow and gold colored stones represent optimism and joy. Bring a little sunshine into your life with Golden Topaz, Citrine, Amber, Yellow Tiger’s Eye, and Yellow Jasper. Gold stones are also a symbol of wealth and power such as Pyrite and Gold.

Green – Activate and clear your heart chakra with green stones, which have a healing and balancing effect on the emotions. Bring good fortune and prosperity into your life with Emerald, Aventurine, Green Fluorite, Jade, and Malachite, the lucky charms of the mineral kingdom.

Orange – A power color, orange stones awaken the passion within the spirit. Capture the spirit of the sun with Orange Calcite, Aragonite, Carnelian, Sunstone, and Copper.

Pink – The color of love and compassion, pink stones like Rose Quartz and Rhodochrosite are big-time heart energizers and openers. Other pink stones include Lepidolite, Pink Tourmaline, and Pink Sapphire.

Grey – The color of moonlight, gray or silver stones reflect the expansiveness of the universe, which gives them protective warrior-like qualities. Gray stones like Hematite and Moonstone have a silvery finish that evokes a starry night sky, a subtle yet powerful influx of light that helps to cleanse the spirit.

Purple – The color of enlightenment and intuition, purple stones like Amethyst and Charoite have a magical luster. They also help balance the emotions with relaxing and soothing vibes. The crystalline structure of purple stones makes them powerful energy amplifiers, especially when combined with other heart chakra stones.

Red – The color of passion and life force energy, red stones like Garnet, Ruby, and Red Tiger’s Eye have a warming and grounding energy that helps support the root chakra.

White – Representing purity and transformation, white stones like Selenite and Clear Quartz make excellent healing tools, especially when incorporated into healing layouts.

When you combine astrology with crystals, it has the potential to take your inner wisdom to a whole new energetic level. As Socrates put it, “To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom,” and the beaming diamonds in the sky can give you insight into your deep inner workings, especially in combination with certain crystals. In the ultimate energy cocktail, try out these crystals for your astrological sign and let it guide you on your epic journey.

Aries – Complement the fiery and passionate nature of the Aries with Carnelian, a bright orange sun stone that boosts creativity and blocks negative vibes. Citrine enhances the creative and ambitious Aries with its ability to increase clarity of thought and purpose.

Pisces – A water sign like Pisces should try pairing up with Aquamarine, which stimulates the heart chakra. For the sensitive Pisces, Chrysocolla rocks at soothing heartache because it encourages the expression of emotions. Amethyst also helps rejuvenate the spirit.

Aquarius – A sociable air sign, Aquarians should rock out with Aquamarine, a stone that boosts the community spirit by encouraging clear and effective communication. The stubborn nature of the Aquarius can also benefit from Yellow Jasper, which helps heal old emotional wounds that are blocking the heart chakra.

Capricorn – This ambitious and determined sign needs energy that boosts the life force, like Garnet, a red stone that invigorates the root chakra. The ethereal quality of Azurite also helps balance the sometimes overly practical and conservative nature of Capricorns.

Sagittarius – The curious mind of the Sagittarian could use a little Bronzite in their lives, especially for its energizing energy that encourages spiritual transformations. The grounding and stabilizing energy of Citrine helps the on the go Sagittarius signs to reconnect with their roots.

Scorpio – The most moody and unpredictable sign in the zodiac, Scorpios need calming stones like Amethyst to balance emotions. Malachite also helps speed up emotional healing while Citrine brings a boost of joy and light into the heart chakra.

Libra – Lapis Lazuli helps with decision making, which helps Libra signs stay focused when pulled in many directions. Libras strive for piece and harmony, which is why Citrine is beneficial—it adds a ray of sunshine and optimism to the spirit. Labradorite also helps protect the sensitive Libra from energy vampires and dream killers.

Virgo – The intelligent and detail-oriented Virgo gets a boost of confidence and determination from Red Jasper, which has a strong stabilizing and grounding effect on the root chakra. They also have a tendency to be overly critical, either of themselves or people in their lives, and Kyanite helps balance these negative impulses. The good luck charm of gemstones, Jade brings abundance and prosperity, which enhances Virgos and their go-getter attitude towards life.

Leo –The proud lion loves to be in the spotlight, which is why Garnet is an excellent stone. It ignites the fiery passion within the heart of the ambitious Leo. Tiger’s Eye manifests feelings of confidence and inner strength while Carnelian boosts creativity and personal power.

Cancer –The dreamy and magical Moonstone helps to bring out the sensitive and intuitive nature of the Cancer sign. Red Jasper also supports the emotional and sensitive Cancer by boosting endurance and stamina. Abalone Shell reconnects the loving and nurturing Cancer with the tides of the ocean.

Gemini –The properties of Rutilated Quartz help keep the dynamic personality of the Gemini in balance by connecting them to their higher selves. A powerful creativity booster, Carnelian supports the fun-loving nature of the Gemini and their need for personal expression. A heart chakra stone, Jade brings harmony to the mind and emotions, which have the tendency to quickly go from serious to happy-go-lucky.

Taurus – Pyrite brings abundance and prosperity, which complements the practical side of the Taurus sign. They are also ambitious and sensual, which makes the Carnelian an excellent stone for its confidence-boosting properties. A stone of personal power, Peridot helps Taurus go after their heart’s desire.

Gemstones are also associated with chakras, which are specific energy centers in the body. There are seven chakras and each one is linked with certain emotions, which is why crystals are effective in clearing and activating these energetic pathways.

Crown Chakra – Located at the top of the head, the crown chakra is where enlightenment and transcendence occurs. For those crowning, life-affirming moments, purple stones like Amethyst are excellent spiritual companions. Also supportive of the crown chakra are white stones such as Selenite and Clear Quartz.

Third Eye – Situated in the center of the eyebrows, the third eye is associated with intuition and the wisdom of the higher self. Indigo colored gemstones like Lapis Lazuli, Sodalite, and Fluorite help to reawaken creative inspiration by opening the door of inner wisdom.

Throat Chakra – The energy center of the throat supports clear and effective communication, which makes it a popular stone for using in necklaces. When blue stones like Lapis Lazuli and Aquamarine touch the skin, it helps to balance the throat chakra by enhancing self-expression, the language of the soul. Other stones like Angelite, Sodalite, and Blue Apatite are also associated with the throat chakra, giving you the support and energy you need to speak the truth with loving communication.

Heart Chakra – When this energy center is activated and cleansed, the energetic body will begin to radiate love of all kinds. This positive, light-filled energy will attract positive influences into your life and strengthen the relationships you already have. For heart chakra healing, inspire feelings of love and compassion with Rose Quartz, Aventurine, and Rhodonite.

Solar Plexus Chakra –Yellow gemstones are excellent for balancing the solar plexus chakra thanks to bright and cheerful colors that encourage optimism and motivation. Be focused and confident because with Citrine, Yellow Jasper, Rutilated Quartz, and Pyrite by your side, you can be successful at whatever you set out to do.

Sacral Chakra – An unbalanced sacral chakra can make you feel depressed or lethargic. Alternatively, if this energy center is overactive, you could be overemotional. Bring it all into balance with Carnelian, Orange Calcite, Tiger’s Eye, and Sunstone, the gemstones of inspiration, excitement, and motivation.

Root Chakra – Always feel grounded and anchored to the earth with root chakra stones like Red Garnet, Red Jasper, Smoky Quartz, Black Onyx, and Hematite. Wear it on the skin as jewelry or keep it throughout home and you’ll begin to notice a renewed sense of confidence.

Multiple crystals can relate to one another in some way, so you can use different crystals to amplify one spell with the same intention! It’s all about your intentions and what you want to get out of the crystals and spells. Each crystal should be given a purpose. The next Unit will cover how you can do just that!

Valentines Day Hangover

[enbymoonlvr]

bought some beautiful pieces from a curio shop recently and i can’t wait to add them to my altar when i re-do it 🖤 i’m going to have a much bigger surface to work on finally so I treated myself 🥺🕯✨🫖🪞🗝

[enbymoonlvr]

I wanted to take a moment to share a few old school tips and tricks of the craft I have fallen back on in a pinch that many of you who are experienced may already know, but we all fall victim to consumerism - I know this well as a solo small business owner running my own little witch shop on Etsy- it's real easy to think you absolutely need something to work your magic when in reality the only thing you need is the strength of will to manifest your desires.

The reason being is that it seems like many newcomers to witchcraft / spell crafting seem to think that they need all these pre requisite things to work successful magic daily and some of those things just aren't practical.

•I don't have an endless supply of Sage to dry for smudge bundling (especially now that I inadvertently killed my poor Leatherleaf Sage plant), but I do often use 'Witch's Salt', aka 'Black Salt' or 'Blessed Salt' to cleanse an area or consecrate a space as all it requires is salt and ash. The blessing is a given.

•I may not have a specific chime candle on hand of the color specified for a particular spell, but white tealights are something that I have an abundance of and a white candle may be substituted for any candle color in a spell.

•Don't forget to check the pantry for items that can be integrated into your spells or rituals. For example, sugar and honey may be used for truth seeking spells, to 'sweeten' a relationship or a business deal, or in spells for attraction. Many common herbs found on the typical spice rack have an abundance of magical uses. You may be surprised at the results you find for those in your kitchen when you search their name + magic / witchcraft!

•The kid's room or craft closet can be full of potentially magical tools and objects! Don't forget that 'spell weaving' is a thing- the earliest instance of which was the creation of 'Witch's ladders' by knotting or braiding symbolic objects or charms together with colored cord, hair, jute, yarn, and or whatever it is you have available.

•Check your backyard. Literally and figuratively. Your local area may be abundant in native magickal plants and other tools like sea shells. One of my customers requested that I did not add seashells to her mystery box order because she lives on an island. I live in Florida near the coast, seashells are easily acquired, but if you're a city witch and/or landlocked, the closest natural resource may just be located at the farmer's market if you're lucky, if not, the corner store, which doesn't help much, but the above tips will!

•Look into alternative divination methods. I hand craft many rune sets, pendulums, dowsing, and oracle / talking boards for my shop, and they are some of my best sellers, but the most popular forms of interpreting the ebb and flow of energies throughout time and space aren't necessarily the best, and more importantly, the best for you. If you are a chronic tea drinker but you have never looked into interpreting tea leaves, don't you think that maybe you should give it a shot? How many times have you stared at the assorted plant matter in your cup, personifying the blobs like a child staring up at clouds passing through the sky? Seriously- it might be telling you something! This practice, known as Tasseography, is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to potential divination tools. Casting crystals, palmistry, even the casting of bones can be used as a form of divination. Once you explore these alternative methods, you may find one you connect with instantly you just so happen to already have the materials for.

•Your local library probably has more books on witchcraft, wicca, paganism etc. Than you thought. I live in a predominantly Catholic Christian city mostly populated by senior citizens. When I first started exploring spirituality and the many facets of it when I was eleven or so, the public library was a place I spent a lot of time in that I was originally astounded at their catalogue of occult manuscripts. If the public library isn't an option for you, you can find a wealth of free e texts here on the web in this public domain archive. There is a wealth of knowledge to be had just sitting on your sofa, should you desire it. Never forget!

The point is to not fall into the trap of thinking something is magical or has magical / spiritual Properties just because someone else claims this to be so! If you aren't in a position to acquire the various components of a particular spell, don't hesitate to to make substitutions as needed. The magic is, and always has been, in you!

If you looking for a new array of altar Supplies and spell crafting tools intuitively selected just for you, you may also find them in my mystery boxes, discounted currently for Imbolc. (If you still desire to spend your money, that's on you) :)
