^ Depende sis, sometimes you can "feel" these crystals even if you have only seen them online... Trust your intuition din. If you feel something off with the crystal, big chances are, there's really something off with it.

-----

Right now I'm hunting for amber, though technically it's not a mineral or a crystal in that... I bought one sample from an online store (since I was drawn to it pero it felt kinda off) kaso I found out that it's not amber, but copal. I wonder if Atong sells them.

I agree with Sir CH, know your crystal first before buying. 90% of the crystal stores I came across sell fake jade, sunstone and moonstone... Most of them sell aventurines, serpentines, glass, agates, and even tough plastics marketed as jade, opalites (they're man-made) marketed as moonstone, and goldstones (man-made din, basta yung brown na stone with glitter-like speckles) marketed as sunstone. I even saw one store selling real rainbow moonstone but sells low quality pieces of those at the price of midrange quality ones.

Be careful with moonstones -  some are authentic but low grade opals.

Opals & moonstones, IMO, are "iffy" stones. Haha.  Like, opals don't sit well with me; moonstones depende.  IMO, these can enhance other energies in you na sobra na nga.   Opals make me rush, I get clutsy/clumsy.  Moonstones make me over-think. So, mga darling Sis -- take time to FEEL the crystal before you purchase. 

BUT I have. BFF who says  the moonstones makes her feel optimistic. 

So, kanya kanyang energy nga

^^ Already PMed you sis. :D

Just to supplement sis aqua's info...

Here's my piece of low-mid-grade moonstone (PS: I included one rose quartz there so mukhang off yung isa):

It's tough getting the blue schiller for all the stones! I was able to capture a bit of it (topmost; di pa nakuha lahat). It's easier getting the labradorite's schiller:

Sa rainbow moonstone, may certain angle at lighting lang sila na makikita yung schiller, parang cat's eye... Pero it can exhibit different colors, mostly blue. Opalites have a milky-blue appearance and the bottom will have an amber color pag tinapat sa light source.

As for the feel... It had that feeling of an innocent lady growing up to a mature, sophisticated woman... Hirap i-explain.

Sis nettai, can you also pm me the stores that sell questionable stones? Thanks ha, para iwasan ko na din puntahan ang mga ito.

Thanks to sis aquacharly, I'm also planning to visit atong's store.

For me, ang hindi ko kaya isuot ay black tourmaline.  The first time I wore my black tourmaline bracelet (after cleansing and programming), feeling ko lango ako - parang nakalutang. Hindi ako makaconcentrate sa work for almost half the day. So no choice kung hindi tanggalin ito. After nun, ok na pakiramdam ko.

Sis, I suggest you stick to sis aqua's and sir CH's suggestions. These stores sell authentic crystals pero not all of their crystals are marketed the way they should... So I can't say na dapat mo rin silang iwasan.

For one, Minex sells real crystals, but there was a time that they offered me an agate bangle telling me that it's a jade bangle. And another one, Hua Mulan sells real jade bangles, pero may iba dun na agate lang but they still sell those as jade bangles. (Pero when I went to Megamall nagiging tama na rin ang tagging sa kanila. I hope other branches follow suit.)

Isa pa yung Charms and Crystals tsaka SM Department Store... Moonstone daw pero it's very obvious na opalite ang nakadisplay. Waaaah I hope they would correct that. T.T

Commonly mismarketed stones kasi ang jade, moonstone at sunstone.

Most Quiapo stalls (except Wellmanson) sells fake or low quality Lapis Lazuli as well. You can know by looking at the strand -- they seem to be dyed in color blue. So ingat na rin.

Hindi ko na lang i-PM for everyone's reference na rin. Happy crystal hunting! :D

Authentic laps lazuli has GOLD crooked threads or splashes.
You will not find any in Greenhills.

^ Naku sis, mauutak na rin sila... Some of them fakes have metallic inclusions na. Delikado rin yan, we do not know what kind of metal was infused to the fake piece  x_x

Best bet talaga is to buy those in trusted stores; for one Minex sells those kaso may mga howlite inclusions (yung mga puti-puti) and little pyrite inclusions (yung gold-like splotches/threads) kaya medyo low quality.

^you're right, mautak talaga.
BUT I said GOLD, not metallic - referring to authentic lapis lazuli. 
So, anything "off" gold  should warn them. 
So when I am shown lapis lazuli with whatever that isn't gold to me -- I don't bother thinking of what those shiny inclusions re.  Basta hindi authentic lapis lazuli, move on, move on. 

For those who are searching for lapis lazuli, best to read up on it, then go look for a reliable jeweler with a specimen.  So there, you get your base reference.  Ask questions. 
But lapis lazuli has  long been used in jewelries or decorative items --  so expect authentic ones to be pricey. 

Now,  there are obscure crystals like SCAPOLITE.  For such crystals, I prefer to purchase where I will get a certificate with a technical description & photo thereon.  No way I am gonna be able to validate on my own, and sources/suppliers I trust don't have it.  The yellow colored SCAPOLITE  enhances your energies for change, clarifying goals & independence.

^^^^ Naku, sis nettai.  Medyo wary ako sa hua mulan.  There was a time that they were selling a yellow green stone, which was obviously an agate, as citrine.  So dapat talaga kahit papaano do some research before buying, madali kasi ma-mislead.  Try as I might, hindi ako attracted sa mga stones na benta ng minex.  Added factor na rin mahal ang prices nila at ang sales lady ng rob place ay mukhang bored na bored sa paninda nya.   

I finally visited atong's store.  I find his prices more reasonable and majority of the stones that he is selling of better quality than acc lab.  Although there were some items almost of the same price as acc lab, ang kagandahan lang ay pwede ka tumawad.  He was also accommodating enough to point out which of his items are of better and lesser quality.

Initially, I was looking for super 7 pero nang nahawakan ko na para walang attraction.  I bought kyanite na lang kasi parang ang calming ng effect nya sa kin at nagandahan ako sa pagka-blue nya.  Reasonable din ang price ng citrine nya. So good thing at nakapunta ako sa store niya.  :)

Super agree with this. Way back din in a museum (I forgot the name, pero andito lang rin yun sa Manila, basta matagal na yun wala), I saw a very precious lapis lazuli... Pure blue and very few visible gold speckles. I was really, really, really drawn to it! After that I tried looking for a piece pero puro may howlite inclusions (yung mga puti-puti). Haha, baka kulang pa ang lahat ng ari-arian ko if I'm going to buy that.

Minsan din they tried to sell me sodalites, lapis lazuli daw. I definitely agree na pag walang gold-like pyrite speckles at walang howlite inclusions, either it has to have certificates or fake talaga yan.

Oh well, sabi nga nila, "good ____ not cheap, cheap ____ no good." (getting reference from Sir CH's post signature). =))

Okay, that's it -- I'm gonna go to Atong's WoC on Saturday. Sana may sunstone sila. T.T

^ sis nettai, may sunstone si atong. I think around 2k ang price ng sunstone na nakadisplay sa eskaparate. Tanong mo na lang kung may mas smaller sizes siya na beads, if you like. Actually, parang inisa-isa ko tiningnan at hinawakan mga paninda nya. Hehe :)

^^sis ilovenature, last sat ako pumunta pero bumalik ako the other day.  Describe ko na lang kyanite na nabili ko kay atong - around 6mm ang beads, deep blue ang color na parang may iridescence effect kagaya ng cat's eye. 

Better talaga na kung matyempuhan ay kay atong mismo makipagdeal.  Mas madali kasi siya kausap at mas knowledgeable unlike sa misis na medyo ayaw magpa-haggle. :)

recently, i got into an online shopping spree buying crystal bracelets... bloodstone, rainbow fluorite, moonstone, carnelian and smoky quartz.

previously i got a citrine, aquamarine and a hematite+tiger's eye combo. recently, sobrang stressed ako, and as i was removing my bracelets, the hematite+tiger's eye combo bracelet broke. maybe it broke because the way i removed it. but by any chance, may meaning kaya yun?

^IMO, wala.

These bracelets are supposed to be gently rolled  onto your wrist.   
But if you're like me - I pull these on/off & frequently wet these when I wash my hands -- expect that to happen occasionally.

http://www.healing-crystals-for-you.com/index.html


Here a a website with great resource on all things crystal.  It it very informative much like buying a complete guide to crystal book in bookstores so you can just save the layout on Microsoft word and print and compile it like a book.


This website even offers group categories of crystal for like say:

1.) based on astrological sign

2.) based on charkra's

3.) based on health

4.) based on purpose like: protection, healing, awakening of kundalini,

5.) based on activating a particular spiritual gifts such as aiding in clairaudiencdes, clairsentience, psychometric, telepathy,

6.) categories which crystal are high vibrational, super seven, manifesting of wealth

all with photos, explanation, guides, and a whole lot more.   crystal lovers alike will love this site ,a great resource book without buying a book.


-------------------

Also, I would like to share to everyone an excerpt from transcript interview between a channeler and archangel metatron, the interview topic is diverse so im going to post only that is related to this topic which is crystal.


Question to AAMetatron: You mentioned combinations of specific gems for strengthen the auric field. Can you elaborate on this?


AAMetatron: This topic is a vast one and a book on its own. Briefly, gemstones, relative to auric maintenance and strengthening, are benevolent conscious generators of light &myriad other influential energy fields, that reinforce and fortify one's own Auric field. Being crystalline in matrix, they also are tuning forks that assist in Mer-Ka-Na  formation and expansion.

We tell you a simple Truth, and that is that the wearing of gemstones can not only stabilize and reinforce the human Aura, they can increase the strength of the Auric force field, provide more vital health...and indeed extend the longevity of the wearer.

This has been recognized in more advanced societies, especially in Atlantis and ancient Egypt.

Indeed this knowledge is why certain noble metals and gems have always been valued and utilized.

The most credible of your seers, Edgar Cayce, devoted many of his channeled readings toward the recommendation of gems and noble metals for various uses. This is a science you have not truly acknowledged or recognized in your current society. Most humans see them as vanities. This is unfortunate. Gems are living energy generators that project not only their conscious light and color frequencies, but also their sacred geometries.

In 'western society' females tend to be the primary wearers of gems, especially diamonds. That is one of the reasons women tend to live longer than men. For gems are living sentient energy generators that are constantly sending coherent energies and life force.

Your gemologists know that there are only 7 crystalline structures that occur in nature. Each of these is either one of the 5 'Platonic Solids' or a direct derivative of them in what is termed the Archimedean geometric polygon. These are sacred patterns, and these crystalline structures are codes, and exude an energy that is very beneficial in itself to the human chakric alignment and balance.

A basic combination would be to wear a single refractive stone, such as diamond, garnet or spinel on one hand, and a double refractive on the other.

Diamond is by far the most potent gemstone. It carries the greatest energy because of its density and nature. It is an amplifier of all other gemstones when worn in combination. A diamond has more electrons in its atomic structure than any other gem. It occurs in nature primarily as an octahedron. Diamonds, as well as certain other gems, 'sing'. Their frequencial patterns project a vibratory pattern that is discernible with sophisticated instrumentation. This energy envelops the human aura and enhances the 'light body', the crystalline Mer-Ka-Na.

Diamonds also have the ability to both accelerate and decelerate the velocity of light.

The best single refractive is the diamond, but it needs optimally to be a solitary of at least 2 carats, and we realize that most humans believe these to be price restrictive. A rule of thumb is 1 carat for every 60 lbs of body weight, yet the minimal size is 2 carats. This must be a solitary singular stone, not a combined weight of many stones.

The best substitutes are garnets, preferably the Ural Mountain green demantoid, or a red-orange spessartite. Both project the octahedron in crystalline form. The diamond projects the dodecahedron and octahedron. If one can afford it, a combination of colors among single refractive is best. These can be intuitively alternated, according to astrological forces, and ones individual bio-life cycles. Garnets come in virtually all colors except blue. The spinel comes in blue and violet.

In terms of double refractive gems for rings, the most potent are ruby, sapphire, emerald, and aquamarine. These project the largest fields, assuming a 3-5 carat size. Alternate colors as cycles shift. Tourmaline, topaz and quartz varieties such as opal, amethyst and citrine are all piezoelectric and also quite potent force generators. Gem use is not folklore, indeed they are crystalline force field generators of coherent astral light. They can increase ones vitality and even prolong life span, particularly when used in tandem.

Well to study this topic. Remember the body is bi-symmetrical, hemispheric. Combine gems with metals about both wrists and the neck. Noble metals such as gold and platinum are most potent. Silver is tertiary, but quite benevolent in its aspect. Alternate these. A pendant about the neck is also recommended. Study this topic, there are numerous books available.

The pendant most recommended by Edgar Cayce, is the lapis lazuli. It is a conglomerate crystalline structure, opaque in nature, and of octahedronal projection.


The Metatronic Shield

Your religious texts refer to a combination of gems worn in what was termed 'The Shield of Abraham'.

We tell you that by combining a single refractive gem on the left hand, a double refractive on the right, and a lapis lazuli (of at least 25 grams or 125 carats) around the neck as a pendant, a very potent energy shield and amplifier is established. This was known in Atlantis and Egypt, as well as other advanced societies. This is taught in the Metatronic Keys in detail.


Do not wear beryl (emerald, morganite, alexandrite, aquamarine) and corundum (ruby & sapphire) at the same time.

It's a user-friendly book. :)
Take your time, enjoy the info therein.

These crystals should be enjoyed, no stress.
Don't complicate your life trying to integrate/synchronize everything.   
Do not doubt yourself, we all have in us good sense and the connection with The Divine.
