KEYWORD:  CLEANSING

  http://mineral.galleries.com:/minerals/CARBONAT/CALCITE/calcite.htm
Calcite
is a common and widely distributed mineral.  It is a rock-forming mineral that is a major constituent in calcareous
sedimentary rocks (limestone) and metamorphic rocks (marble). 
  It may be precipitated directly from seawater and it forms the shells of many living organisms, which on death accumulate
to form limestone. 
  In areas of hot springs it is deposited as travertine or tufa, and stalactites and stalagmites of calcite are common in
caves of limestone.
  Calcite is the biggest cleanser of negative stored energies within the human system. 
Its vast array of colours works on all areas of the body and aura, from the gross physical to the finest layers of the etheric.

Clear/Rainbow Inclusions
  These bring cleansing, clarity and brilliance to all the chakras. 
  Use clear/rainbow calcite when you want to bring about change, major or minor, in your life. 
  Its brilliance allows you to wipe the slate clean, to start again.  This shaft of pure cosmic light gives you new beginnings,
free of all the old pain and sorrows. 
  Clear calcite gives you the opportunity of bringing the Divine essence of the soul into all the levels of your being to facilitate deep soul healing.
  Many crystal therapists make use of clear calcite in healing, as it supports clearer perception of the truth by gently cleansing the eyes - not just the physical eyes, but the third, fourth and fifth eye - so as to fully activate the crown chakra into perfect alignment with the higher self and the Merkaba vehicle for ascension. 
  The first incarnational experiences in this world were ones that were not in bodies such as we now have, and indeed,
when we were floating in the ethers and the mists above this world, before it became more solid, that was our true nature,
our true geometry, our true bodies, what we would call the light vehicle or the Merkaba.
  Clear calcite clears and activates all chakras and heals all conditions: it is a ‘cure-all’. 
  Used for detoxification, it is a crystal antiseptic. 
  It also clears a room of negativity; the power of brilliance, iridescent rainbow light,
will clear away old blocks and stagnation. 
  It also makes an excellent gem essence, which is used as a ‘cure all’.

Red
This ‘gentle’ red crystal will work primarily on the genitals and reproductive organs. 
  The glands of the body connected to red calcite are the gonads and ovaries. 
  Deep red calcite understands what prompts the release of adrenaline into the bloodstream when there is danger, aggression or pain -
thus its connection to releasing fear. 
  Red calcite will destroy that which is holding up your growth; it is an excellent detoxifier. 
  It releases stagnant energy blocks from every level of your life, not just the physical body, via cleansing and releasing stagnation
within the base or root chakra. 
  It is especially useful for healing problems of the hips, legs and feet, bringing stability and strength of will. 
  It also gives you the power to move forward and to take action and it can ease stiff muscles and joints.

Orange
  For stimulation of second chakra, sexual energies, clearing negative energies there and regeneration and creativity. 
  Also heals the reproductive system. 
  Orange calcite is useful for any intestinal disorder or irritable bowel syndrome and kidney complaints. 
  It also clears away any mucus or catarrh that may be in the system. 
  Orange calcite can bring relief from emotional fear and emotional paralysis and can be used in cases of mental breakdown,
depression, accidents, rape, divorce or suicidal feelings. 
  Orange calcite restores equilibrium by releasing known and unknown fears and phobias.

Amber
  For smoothing the inner disturbances caused by change, especially the menopausal transition,
which is very often a time of spiritual awakening. 
  It can be a time of tremendous positive growth, but only for women who believe life is for living and
flourishing into your full power. 
  Good for kidneys, bladder and all the female organs.  Good as a massage stone. 
  Also eases the stress of children who have problems with bed-wetting.

Yellow
  Joyful, agile and expansive. 
  Activates the solar plexus chakra, which aids mental clarity and concentration.   
  It will balance your will power, by the right use of your Divine will. 
  Brings wisdom, honesty and expansion to the thought processes. 
  Its energy is penetrating and cleansing.  Cleansing means healing. 
  Yellow calcite is the great eliminator, thus it can aid digestion and cellular regeneration. 
  As a gem essence it is very uplifting and will energise your whole system.

Green
  Green calcite works on the thymus, heart chakra, physical heart, shoulders, chest and lower lungs. 
  This crystal restores stability to anything malignant. 
  Malignancy is the result of cells that have accelerated out of control. 
  Green calcite lowers this over-stimulation. 
  It helps biliousness and is especially useful for ridding the body of infections of the lungs, throat and sinuses. 
  This crystal is also useful for nervous tics and stammering and anyone suffering from severe neurosis.

Pink
Sometimes referred to as manganese calcite, is perfect for the heart, releasing old fears and grief, bringing in the essence of unconditional love. 
  The pink ray always works dynamically on the heart chakra, gently cleansing and then transmuting all stored putrefied
negative issues of self-worth, self-confidence, self-acceptance and so on. 
  It will allow the integration of positive energy within all levels of the chakra system, the positive energy being love,
compassion, understanding of unity within diversity, bringing tolerance, forgiveness and ultimately the complete expression
of universal love and self-love to every corner of the microcosm and macrocosm. 
  We are all a reflection of the whole, and the more love we can hold within our own being the more will ultimately be
reflected outwards to all life and returned to us magnified. 
  It relieves all stress, tension and anxiety, especially about our physical body.
  Pink calcite’s energy is such that it just melts and dissolves our resistance to loving ourselves enough to honour our
body as the temple of our soul. 
  This means taking care of ourselves and choosing food that nurtures us, rather than listening to the negative ego,
which only seeks instant gratification, regardless of the long-term detrimental effects. 
  Pink calcite is also useful after a person has been assaulted in any way, or if they have had an operation or dentistry. 
  Good for heart conditions, kidney and uterine disorders.  It removes fears and eases nightmares.

Blue
  Blue calcite can make you aware of the need for rest and relaxation. 
  It is also a good crystal to help you release stress and anxiety.  Soothing, calming, good for frayed nerves. 
  Aids communication and enlightened discussion between individuals who may have opposing views. 
  Treats throat, lungs and thyroid disorders. 
  Blue calcite will lower high blood pressure and give relief from pain. 
  Its soothing blue ray will gently release negative emotions. 
  A gem essence is very helpful for people who may be prone to sore throats or tonsillitis.

Violet
  Of all the shades of calcite perhaps this one is the most exquisite and Divine. 
  The energy of violet calcite has to he experienced to be fully understood. 
  Its energy is silken, smooth and so soothing to the emotional body. 
  Its properties are inspirational beyond words. 
  As a gem essence it calms and soothes the mind, helping with problems of insomnia. 
  Grief and the grieving process are truly understood; whether we are grieving for a ‘lost’ loved one or the grief of
separation from our source, this is the best crystal to bring us Divine understanding of the whole process of death and renewal. 
  It aids the integration of new energies on all levels.

Black
  The void is the home of the ’great mystery’ and this crystal will lead you safely through the maze and out of ‘castle perilous’. 
  Sometimes we find ourselves in darkness; this can be the dark night of the soul where all that we loved or believed in is swept
away in a single moment. 
  Or it can be the deep depression that descends for no known reason, or through the death of a loved one or job loss.

  This crystal teaches us that sometimes we need to let go of the old in order for the new to come into our lives. 
  When we lose sight of the light at the end of the tunnel it is very scary; we may lose faith in tomorrow. 
  By using black calcite, followed by the clear calcite,
we can begin to release the darkness and step renewed and stronger into the light. 
  Healing begins with a single tiny step. 
  Once the Universal energies know your desire for true healing, they will move heaven and earth to help you; the secret is to recognise and accept all the help you are offered.

Stellar Beam or Dog Tooth Calcite
  This crystal will amplify the user’s energy field when used in meditation practice. 
  Its energy is particularly suited for use in the solar plexus area and crown chakras. 
  Many people who have used it have found that it links parallel realities and universes. 
  The energy of the stone is such that it adjusts the user’s energy field during meditation, connecting matter to spirit. 
  It will help you to have the courage to hold on to your dreams.
  With right use of will, this stone will bring about a sudden and dramatic change in the user’s life, catalytic and always for the better. 
  It can be used to realign the earth energies, after they have been damaged by human negativity. 
  It has the potential to clear, activate and align all of the chakras along the spinal column. 
  Stellar beam calcite very often grows with sphalerite, a powerful combination for advanced crystal light workers. 
  This combination of calcite and sphalerite cannot be misused, for if one attempts to abuse the power’ the crystal simply disappears,
or shatters.

Affirmation:  I am cleansed of all negative thought patterns; I now allow myself to learn through joy, happiness and success.


CARNELIAN - Sard (See Agate)

KEYWORD:  CREATIVITY

 
http://mineral.galleries.com:/minerals/silicate/quartz/quartz.htm
Carnelian
has been historically used in Vedic astrology as a secondary gemstone to correct a badly aspected Mars energy. 
  I have seen many ancient Egyptian scarabs (tomb offerings) carved from carnelian, my Egyptian friend said, “they were used
to protect the dead on their journey through the underworld”. 
  We can deduce from this that they were held in high regard as a protective stone.
  Carnelian’s signature is strong, stimulating and creative; when used in crystal therapy it has the full potential to balance the
sacral chakra completely. 
  The sacral chakra is located in the sexual organs and upwards towards the navel.  
  When the sacral chakra is out of balance, the next chakra above - the solar plexus - and the root chakra below will have a
greatly impaired functioning too. 
  A balanced sacral chakra is shown when you trust your own feelings, you are creative and feel good about expressing your creativity. 
  If your sacral chakra is too open you will feel emotionally unbalanced and find yourself living in a fantasy world. 
  The other signs of being too open in the sacral chakra are aggression, sexual manipulation of others or a sex addict. 
  If you are too closed you will be over-sensitive to others’ energy, feel guilty for no reason or be frigid or impotent. 
  Carnelian has been used to aid fertility.
  Physically, carnelian can help with problems of the lower back, lower intestines, the abdomen, the kidneys, all fluid functions of
the body, ovaries, testes, womb and impotency.
  Carnelian is also associated with vitality, attraction, desire, emotion, creativity, sexuality and water, fear, shock and guilt. 
  There is a great cleansing potential released when this crystal is used for healing personality disorders related to the emotions.
  Carnelian can help to ground and focus thoughts and emotions. 
  It has been utilised to protect the user from hatred, envy and rage. 
  It also lifts the spirits, banishing negativity. 
  For those who suffer from existential fears, past physical abuse, vitality-sapping illness or any long-standing mental anguish, carnelian is a good on-going supplement to their life force and should be carried or worn on a regular basis. 
  Always check with kinesiology for the correct period of wearing duration, as with all crystals you must check on a regular basis
the correct time period of use.
  Carnelian can also help with the life lessons of uncovering the motivations influencing your choices, which are based on past conditioning. 
  It really helps you fully understand what motivates you. 
  In other words, who or what in your past ... is pulling your strings now? 
  Carnelian can also accelerate the healing process of broken bones, torn ligaments and strained muscles. 
  You could apply it in a gemstone cream or as a gemstone aura spray, or even wrap a tumbled stone into the bandage.

Affirmation:  I trust my own feelings, I am creative and I feel good about expressing my creativity.

CITRINE
- Yellow Quartz (See Quartz)

KEYWORD:  JOY

Natural citrine (yellow quartz) is not common and occurs only sparingly in many large quartz deposits. 
  As such it is greatly prized by crystal therapists and healers.
  Most of the yellow and brownish-yellow quartz, which in the past was often sold under the misnomer ‘topaz’, is heat- treated amethyst. 
  Most material comes from Minas Gerais, Brazil, but almost all of the Brazilian material is heat-treated amethyst. 
  Citrine can be found in the Ural Mountains of Russia, in Dauphine, France, and in Madagascar.
  Citrine gets its name from the French word for lemon, “citron”: many citrines have a pale lemon colour. 
  In ancient times, citrine was carried as a protection against snake venom and the evil thoughts of others. 
  Although the darker orange colours of citrine, sometimes called Madeira citrine after the colour of the wine, have generally been
the most valued, in modem times many people prefer the bright lemony shades.
  Occasionally you will hear citrine referred to as ‘topaz’ quartz, which is inaccurate. 
  This name was used in the past in reference to the colour, which is sometimes similar to the colour of topaz. 
  Since topaz is a separate mineral, this type of name can be confusing and should not be used. 
  However, ‘natural’ citrine and golden topaz,
are considered as alternative secondary ‘remedies’ to yellow sapphire in Vedic astrology.
  Since most citrine on the market started its life as amethyst, which was heated to turn its colour to gold, citrine jewellery,
as well as amethyst jewellery, should be kept away from prolonged exposure to strong light, sunlight or excessive heat. 
  With this precaution, citrine should keep its colour. 
  The yellow quartz, called citrine, varies in colour from a pale golden yellow to a reddish-yellow and probably owes its colours to a trace of iron in the ferric state.
  Citrine is a lustrous gem of a stone, which holds the key to a balanced solar plexus chakra. 
  A balanced solar plexus or power chakra,
as it is sometimes known, is shown by the following characteristics: personal power; spontaneity; positive mental attitudes;
joy; hope and freedom from emotional hang-ups and inhibitions; a keen thirst for knowledge, wisdom and spiritual understanding. 
  So, if you choose to wear citrine, get ready for a life filled with wonder, delight, enthusiasm, expansion, originality, honesty,
justice and self-confidence. 
  People just feel great around citrine energy, of that there is no doubt; it banishes negativity and deep gloom. 
  Yes, citrine certainly holds the answer to depression; it has a general ‘feel good’ factor.

  Citrine will also help you think through your difficulties and encourages you to explore all avenues, leaving no stone unturned until
you find the best solution. 
  It stimulates mental wisdom and is very penetrating; it will aid your total concentration. 
  Citrine loves new ideas and looking at the world with fresh ‘eyes’, but it hates hesitation, procrastination and ignorance and can be impatient. 
  Citrine aids communication, so if you sometimes feel ‘tongue tied’, wear a citrine pendant and you will find you eloquently
have no shortage of words.  On a higher level, citrine will aid intuition and telepathy, bringing spiritual wisdom.
  If your solar plexus chakra is blocked, under-active or distorted, you will be overly concerned with what others think,
be fearful of being alone, insecure and need constant reassurance. 
  If your solar plexus chakra is too open or spinning too fast, you will be angry, controlling, workaholic, judgemental and superior.
  Citrine is one of the best stones of our time for M.E. and relieving energy drain. 
  It brings abundance on all levels and has been called the ‘merchant’s stone’, because carrying or wearing a citrine has a positive beneficial effect on cash flows, easing the burdens associated with too little money.
  Citrine works first of all on the pancreas, then all the other organs associated with the solar plexus chakra: liver, gall bladder,
spleen and middle stomach. 
  We store anger in the liver and the solar plexus is where our emotional upsets will register first. 
  Citrine knows how to remove this stored pain; it also knows how to rid the body of toxins and cellulite. 
  It is the great eliminator.  It relieves constipation.  Constipation is holding onto the past.
  Citrine tones and cleanses the system, the mind and the emotions. 
  So if you want to let go and lose some mental, emotional or physical weight, join the enlightened crystal weight-watchers and wear a citrine. 
  As a gem essence it is used for menopausal flushes, menstrual difficulties and hormone problems, stomach ulcers, fatigue, allergies and diabetes.

Affirmation:  I deserve all the love, respect, joy and prosperity that flows into my life. 
 
I am open to receiving all that is good.
