I've bought most of the rocks in the pic from Etsy. None of the crystals though, I get those in person. Except for the one smoky looking one at the top right of the photo. That's a Himalayan quartz I bought from a vendor in Malaysia. He picked it out special for me. When I got it it still had some matrix attached to the bottom. I had it in my pocket at work one morning kind of playing with it, watching the news. They announced that Bernie had conceded the race and I snapped that piece of matrix right off.

Had to post this thread,just to see how many of us are into crystals, metaphysical stuff,it's neat to talk about it with those that share the same enthusiasm, I have been drawn to collecting crystals and rocks since the early 90s, ,I truly believe in the energies, I feel speechless in trying to explain it to people who don't get it,,it might be mind over matter thing,but it's been around since ancient times,,anyhow, I had a reiki crystal healing session about a year ago,,the practitioner focused a lot on my kidney, using citrine and another dark green stone used for removing toxins,it was a very relaxing session, ,I had blood work done a few weeks later for my kidney specialist and urologist, ,I have kidney disease and a huge cyst in kidney, I was shocked, by the results,,my kidney function had improved ! With the disease, function slowly decreases, this was a shock to the dr too, and the cyst had shrunk in size, ,the only thing I did different was have the healing session with crystals, !! I carry them on me,certain ones for certain occasions, and always keep a citrine and rose quartz in a necklace on, arrowheads and rocks used by early early native Americans I love to hunt for in the fields and the creek beds have quartz,amythest,geods,it's a relaxing "treasure hunt",,

I started collecting crystals in the mid-90s after meeting a new friend who was into New Age spirituality.

I've not used stones or crystals for healing physical issues, mostly emotional issues. Doesn't mean I wouldn't in the future though.

Yes, crystal healing has been around since ancient times. As has astrology, which I absolutely believe in.

BEAUTIFUL! ! I see you have a sunstone,,nice! I love the greenish blue one up at the top by the amethyst and yellowish orange stone,is that a fluorite? CHERRY red ,luv it,,oh yea, granny, I bought several off ebay auctions too,but I like to browse in the rock shops,and pick that certain one I'm drawn to,how do you download pics on here,? Android phone, Herbal Hippie,that's a nice collection! One of my favorites is a polished palm stone,labradorite, beautiful blue colors in the sunlight, supposedly named after the northern lights, aroura borealis??I know that's spelled wrong,omg,

Post by **herbalhippie** » Tue Apr 09, 2019 12:38 am

If you're talking about the greenish one at the end of the amethyst crystal point, that one is chrysoprase.

I uploaded the pic from my phone (Android) to Imgur and then went to desktop to grab the direct link and paste it in here. It's kind of convoluted. Maybe someone can explain it better than I can to make it easier.

These are my three favorite labradorite palm stones. We have a festival here every year the first weekend of May. This couple has a booth every year at the craft fair and they sell stones and crystals. They always have labradorite palm stones for $5 each and I stock up. Keep a few and give the rest away.

Post by **herbalhippie** » Tue Apr 09, 2019 12:57 am

Well, they're a bit out of order but here we are.

Post by **Oletimer** » Tue Apr 09, 2019 1:39 pm

Awesome! The one on left looks a lot like one of mine,,labradorite has so many different color hues,,I read that when they were discovered in Canada? They compared the stones different colors to the northern lights,one of my favorites is blue inside,when you hold it in the sunlight, ,my granddaughter calls it my magic stone,,

they are having a big metaphysical fair by me next month, st.louis,,I haven't been to one in ages,,but that's where I got by obsidian orb and fluorite egg,, for decent prices, ,anyhow it's nice that my 4 yr old grandaughter inherited a love of crystals, ,when I visit she loves to check my pockets ,I like to carry ones I'm willing to give away to her!

Post by **Oletimer** » Tue Apr 09, 2019 2:09 pm

Speaking of astrology, I am a Leo, ,,I use to spend lots of time studying it, making my own charts,etc. Then I got interested in crystal healing,,especially when I guess age caught up with me,overloaded with so many health issues, I don't practice it, I just read a lot about it,,it would take years to learn, I am going to have another session soon,,if it worked for my kidney, it may just help with my back,,the energies there are definitely out whack

Post by **herbalhippie** » Tue Apr 09, 2019 2:17 pm

I'm a Capricorn with a Scorpio Moon and Aquarius rising. I read somewhere that is Scorpio moon is the most difficult moon to have. it makes sense to me because I'm too much in my head and it's usually not good.

Are you posting from your phone or from desktop?

eta: the only way this works for me is to take a pic with my phone and upload it to Imgur on my phone app, then move over to desktop to grab the image link and post it here.

Post by **herbalhippie** » Thu Apr 11, 2019 12:12 am

Sacred Seven or Melody's Stone.

Post by **herbalhippie** » Thu Apr 11, 2019 1:47 pm

As long as you can find the. Jpg code you can post a picture. I can't find any of the codes on the imgur app which is why I do that part from desktop

I have 6 wind chimes up around my porch, 2 of them big Woodstock chimes.

My porch can get noisy on windy days.

Um....desktop. What I mean is I switch from my phone to my desktop computer. I'm probably not the best person to explain all this to you because I'm not the most computer savvy person around.

So I take a pic with my phone and upload to the Imgur app. Go to my computer and open Imgur, find the pic and click on it. There will be a selection of things on the right side of the photo. Someone posted a screenshot of it in one of these threads. Select the BBCode and click on copy, then come back here, right click and paste into your reply. I was telling you to copy the Direct Link until someone pointed out that BBCode would do the same thing with having to click on IMG when you reply here.
