Protection Stones

This is the time of the thinning of the veils. It is a time to practice your intuitive abilities, to gain confidence. It is easier at this time of year to gain messages from spirit guides, angels, ancestors. 
​
This is also a great time to learn about paranormal investigations. If you have the opportunity to go out with a paranormal team do it! Do not do any paranormal investigation on your own. Go with a group. You never know what can happen and you want to have another person with you. 

Protection Stones

Smokey Quartz 

Smokey Quartz is quartz that has turned brown after exposure to natural underground radiation. Because of this Smokey Quartz recognizes other types of electromagnetic stress and neutralizes it. 
Smokey Quartz is found in long, well defined points or clusters. Some are very large. I saw a Smokey Quartz border as big as a Volkswagen beetle near the Las Vegas Strip about thirty years ago. 
The color can be light brown to very dark brown. Smokey Quartz can be heated for color. 
Smokey Quartz is found in Brazil, Switzerland, Africa and USA
Smokey Quartz is easily obtained

Tourmaline - Black
Tourmalines are piezoelectric, meaning heating or squeezing a crystal will create a different electrical charge as each end of the stone, one positive and one negative.  This means it can convert mechanical energy into electric energy. 
The piezoelectric property of black tourmaline encourages balance of the whole body’s energetic framework. 
Tourmaline is part of the trigonal system, forming prismatic crystals with terminations (pointed ends with facets) and vertical striations.

Salt - purifier, used in creating boundaries to keep energy and people off your property. Salt absorbs negativity, neutralizing the energy in your home or office. Once a month refresh the salt in your home. 
I use kosher salt. If I am clearing a haunting, I circle the house with a salt to contain the energy in the home. It is easier to clear unwanted energy or spirits out of the building/home. 

Holy Water - cleansing. Use holy water to clear out negativity. You will feel a shift in energy instantly.

Remember when picking gems or minerals, make sure you like or resonate with them.  The best place to find gems and minerals is the Gem & Mineral shows. That way you have an opportunity of talking to geologists, miners, gemologists, mineralogists. Gem and Mineral Clubs are great places to learn about gemstones and crystals. 

My resource book for this show is - Crystals , By Jennie Harding 
The Selenite card comes from a deck by Kendra Lockhart 

Have a great week! Stay safe and keep your heart open and aligned with the energy of LOVE!
