CLEANSING

The life field of a human is the strongest of all life fields. When another person touches your crystal/stone, he leaves his own energy imprinted on the life field of the crystal/stone. To avoid this the crystal/stone should be cleansed to remove the imprinted energy. This can be done by covering the crystal/stone with sea salt for 2 to 7 days. Or, if you prefer, you may submerge your crystal/stone in a salt water solution of one half pound of sea salt to one gallon of water for the same period of time.
Another way to cleanse your crystal/stone is to wash it thoroughly in water and leave out in the moonlight for one night. Sunlight can have the same effect.

ACTIVATING

Hold your crystal/stone in the palm of your left hand. In a short while the crystal/stone will begin to pulse or vibrate in attunement with you. This will feel like a tingling sensation in your hand. Some may have to wait longer for this to happen. As soon as you feel this sensation you can begin to use it.

HEALING

Make sure you are thoroughly relaxed and in a comfortable environment. Hold your crystal/stone in your Left hand. Place your right hand over the pain area. If the pain is on the right side, place the left hand with the crysta/stonel on the area, then grasp the left arm with the right hand. Hold these positions for half an hour if possible.
The crystal/stone amplifies energy. Energy flows in the left hand and out the right hand. If you place your right hand over the pain area, you will decrease the pain by sending energy into that area.
You can also use your crystal/stone during meditation, simply by holding it in your left hand and placing your right hand over your left. You will feel the energy being circulated through your body and this can bring an incredible feeling of euphoria and peace.


NOTE: This is by NO means a comprhensive list of all crystals/stones. Just a guideline!

I don't use any books that contain the word "bible."

I use the Crystal and Gem book from Scott Cunningham. I have found his books to be quite informative...

But, if you have any information on specific crystals or things to do that you feel should be added in here, post them and I will look it over and add it to the first post.

The color was lime....now I put it on darkgreen. I have a whole book on crystals. I just put up a little about a few of them to get started. If anyone needs more info or wants to know about a diff stone that's not up I am always happy too add.

But you should use books with the word bible in them. It comes from the Egyptian. Its one of those many Pagan words that waas highjacked by the Christians. Lol I think it is well time we claimed it back!!! Though if people took to using "byblos" it would please me greatly.


Bible from http://www.etymonline.com/
early 14c., from Anglo-L. biblia, from M.L./L.L. biblia (neuter plural interpreted as fem. sing.), in phrase biblia sacra "holy books," from Gk. ta biblia to hagia "the holy books," from biblion "paper, scroll," the ordinary word for "book," originally a dim. of byblos "Egyptian papyrus," possibly so called from the name of the Phoenician port from which Egyptian papyrus was exported to Greece. The port's name is a Gk. corruption of Phoenician Gebhal, lit. "frontier town" (cf. Heb. gebhul "frontier, boundary," Ar. jabal "mountain"). The Christian scripture was refered to in Gk. as Ta Biblia as early as c.223. Bible replaced O.E. biblioðece "the Scriptures," from Gk. bibliotheke, lit. "book-repository" (from biblion + theke "case, chest, sheath"), used of the Bible by Jerome and the common L. word for it until Biblia began to displace it 9c. Figurative sense of "any authoritative book" is from 1804. Bible Belt first attested 1926, reputedly coined by H.L. Mencken.
