Crystals

[Aevey]

Introduction

Okay, this is how this is going to work. Since there are so many crystals out there, I will add to this little database as I get the time. I'll go in order of my favourites, UNLESS someone wants to know a stone that has a certain use. So, if you want a stone to help you with dream recall, please post here and let me know so I can get you that information ASAP! Or, if you've always been curious what your birthstone holds as far as metaphysical properties, please ask away! 3nodding

If I own the stone, I'll probably take a picture of mine to avoid any copyright issues. If not, I'll carefully find images for you! I'll also probably add images of the stone rough, as well as tumbled, so you can see which one is most to your liking. And if you collect stones and have any pictures to add, I'd love you forever! Ha ha. Or any additional information to contribute; that'd be great, too!

NOTE: You may use this information freely. However, if you wish to post it in another guild or on a website, please mention my username and give the link. I've spent hours typing this up, plus I've got the sources listed right here so you don't have to worry about copyright issues. biggrin
