Guest guest Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Last week on the last night of the full moon, I put a few crystals in a window that get full moon light for several hours. It might be my imagination, but the crystals seem to have taken on a more vibrant color. This is my first time doing this in case you couldn't tell. I have no idea what I'm doing but read that you could charge the crystal in the full moon. Now what. Since taking them out of the window, they have been sitting in a drawer and I have no clue what to do next. I did this with some of my favorite crystals, a rose quartz (tumbled), an amethyst (tumbled), an amethyst (not tumbled) and 2 citrine (not tumbled). Does tumbling, cutting the stones into shapes, or drilling bead holes alter their energy? Thank you all for sharing your knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I have read that raw crystals retain their energys . I do not know if this is correct or not . I have crystals both raw and tumbled . Tumbled crystals and raw crystals all have their purpose .Also the diffrent shapes and sizes that they come in . For example if you were going to perform a crystal layout on yourself or another , round crystals would not be secure ( unless taped ) .Hense a flat shaped crystal would be more beneficial.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 As with everything else in life, Your Mileage May Vary. I keep the vast marjority of my healing stones in cardboard boxes organized by elemental energy. I only keep out the ones that I'm currently personally working with. They're all sparkly, clear, and have wonderful energy. I clear them and charge them after each time I do a session and nestle them back into their boxes. They say that they're very happy in their little homes. It depends on the stone, it depends on the person. If your stones are comfortable in a drawer then there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. - Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Thank you both for your response. I actually keep taking them out to look at them. I know it probably sounds silly to some of you, but to some members of my very southern household, the idea that crystals have their own energies that can be used by us is a sacrilegious and possibly blasphemous idea. It seems ridiculous to me that as a grown women with grown children even, I feel like I have to hide my crystals like this. I will take them out of the drawer tonight and just set them out in some type of pretty display. It hadn't occurred to me that closing them up might have a negative effect on them. Thanks to both of you for bringing this to my attention. I told you I didn't know what I was doing.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 I am not from the south, but i understand where your coming from. Instead of going into a long explination, just tell them that they are pretty and you collect them. I have always collected crystals and other stones even as a small child. Although now as an adult when i tell folks oh get this for this purpous they do think I am crazy. I have lots of things I have to hide from my fundamentalist christian family. I leared something here too......i keep my smaller stones in a pouch. I have always thought they were fine. I will be taking time to make sure they like it there. Although with my dusting habbits, they might be better off staying in there pouch and not being covered in dust. We shall see what they say.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 I had the same experience. I had mine in a 3-tiered glass curio. I thought they would be perfect in there. After a couple of months they were screaming at me to get out. They did not like that one bit. I only keep a few in there at a time now and rotate on a regular basis. They need to breathe and release the energies within them.

A while back I was shopping in a little antique/craft mall in Michigan on Plymouth road (near my Gram's house). In a small table style display case were 2 crystals, one a quartz and one a fluorite cluster with galena. The fluorite screamed at me, " Please save me!!! " , the quartz crystal felt lifeless. I did rescue the fluorite and once it was home it became oh so very happy. So, I have found that not only can being enclosed in a case cause distress to a crystal but so can the location it is residing. Blessings to your weekend all.
