Just wondering if anyone out there uses or has been using gems/crystals to help themselves or others daily.
Do any people use to help calm the mind and promote healthy emotional/physical well-being?
Can they be used to block out all the (-ve) things in your life to make things less chaotic.

What are your views/opinions?

Well it seems to be so.I see a lot wear Turquoise for health.

Myself I can feel the positive/negative in crystals ....makes my arm numb from the inside. Tingling sensation

Hi...I was told yellow sapphire for abdominal health.

Also, can anyone suggest, where to get pure/natural stones/gemstones? Thank you.

You can buy crystals and gemstones at Earthbound Trading Company. It's a franchise that is located in some malls

Also, google "Lisa Williams" and go to her main site. She sells crystals and also explains the benefits of them.

I have a rose quartz (apparently benefits the heart and emotions tied to the heart), a clear quartz, citrine, and amethyst. I enjoy having them around. I definitely felt something different when I first picked them up, but it's hard to tell if that's just my mind playing tricks on me. It doesn't hurt to have them though

I bought a citrine and amethyst bracelet from her. Citrine is supposed to attract abundance, and the amethyst is an emotional well-being aid

I have a close friend who sees a Naturopath in Flagstaff Arizona. He told me when he was there once she asked him to try gemstone therapy. He said she had a bowl of gems of different kinds and wanted him to put his feet in them.

He said before he did it he thought the lady was totally nuts..like what good is putting my feet in a box of pretty rocks going to do?... He said he was amazed at the effect, is a total believer and now wears a necklace made of Emeralds. For me the jury is out until I stick my feet in the gems and see for myself...no plans to do that at the moment since I am halfway around the world from Arizona.

I have found the past two weeks a few to be effective.

Red Jasper
Blue Chalcedony
Flourite (thumbstone)
Bloodstone
Jet

Most are for clarity, calmness, and relaxation.
The jet is to deflect (-ve) energies and black majik and such.
Great for pessimistic people around you.

I went into a Witch store where I live and the owner who practices told me about the gems and crystals.

Anyone interested in Crystals should, if possible, invest in the "Love is the Earth" series of books by Melody, she is amazing.
Crystals definitely do have some sort of power but it is also up to you to believe, as someone before me stated!
One should also be aware that some crystals should only be worn periodically, diamonds for one! As they can enhance negativity if worn permanently! Some should be worn touching the skin and others not. Rose Quartz is a VERY good stone to have largish piece on your desk next to your pc for example!
Crystal should be cleansed, in salt water and sunlight!
Most clear/transparent/translucent crystals rid themselves of negative energy faster and easier than solid crystals such as Bloodstone etc, which are much more inclined to retain negative energy or thoughts etc.
These are just some of the thoughts that came to mind after reading your question and the rest of the thread. Hope it helps!
