You can find out about our Crystal and precious stone Readings here. |
| STONES OF THE EARTH (Crystals -Precious Gems – Semi-precious stones) We combine these three categories into one section -- stones of the earth. Crystals as a |
| divinatory device is an ancient practice, with maybe water and casting of bones being the only ones with an older tradition. Stones of various quality and type have been used as healing devices, energy sources, and scrying devices such as crystal balls. We see precious stones decorating the ears, necks, fingers, arms, bellies, and toes of the ancients in such things as the wall murals of ancient Roman villas, in statues from ancient Asian sites to South American mummies. Man has long equated himself with the bounties of the earth by possessing the most precious of Gia’s stones. |
Many cultures celebrate the beauty of stones in both natural and polished forms. Byzantine art shows that cultures love affair with the Pearl. Although based more on infatuation with the oyster’s bounty and the richness it indicated, since ancient times the pearl has been considered to be a “negativity sponge,” absorbing many of those not so nice emotions. The Hebrews believed that amethyst could be used as a portal to see beyond the veil through dreams and visions. Sapphires, in their deep blue depths and association to it’s fellow element of air, were thought to hold the secrets to achieving our higher being – governing such things as love, |
| humanity, wisdom, and honor. Onyx was thought to help ground and protect. Familiar to most is the simple clear quartz. Long thought to have cleansing powers with its clear appearance, clear quartz is used in cleansings, healings, and motivating. Each stone, through its color, texture and history contains a message that has been handed down through the ages. Although different cultures may ascribe different meanings to individual stones, the fact that the stones have meaning themselves is the main message here. Take Jade for instance. Jade has been revered by the Orient for millennia. The Aztec also used jadeite. Egyptian healers highly prized jade as a medicinal remedy. Each culture, ascribed power to the stone, although each interpreted that power through their own experience. Burial sites from around the world contain items made from some form of jade. From the most personal “death mask” of the Aztecs, to Armor for an ancient Oriental Ruler, to the most delicate of carved grape shaped-earrings for a rich matron of Rome; Jade is one example of how the understanding that there is power in a stone spans the global, traces back into the dimmest memories of our history, and is still as vibrant and helpful in their message today as they were to the ancients. |

The stones offer a wide range of reading styles and practices. They can be tossed across separate placement boards which when the placement is taken in combination with the meaning of the stone itself the message is found. We may do a formal spread (as described), or we may do a free- form. A “free-form” is where we have the stones in a pouch and essentially work them with our hands while we talk with you. As specific questions or issues arise during the reading we will pull either one or numerous stones from the bag depending on the situation. This also facilitates us being able to feel the power in the stones directly without preconceived conceptions as to what the answer to your question may be. In our readings, we use the following stones: |
| Diamond - Emerald - Pearl - Sapphire - Jade - Unakite - Clear Quartz - Blue Lace Agate - Snowflake Obsidian - Citrine - Amethyst - Gold Tiger Eye - Red Jasper - Moonstone - Rose Quartz - Aventurine - Hematite - Snow Quartz We have found that the stones are exceptionally helpful in matters of health (both physical, spiritual and emotional), inner knowledge and knowing. For those who’s questions are directed at the basics of life the stones are also a good place to turn. Those who have always been intrigued with jewelry and gemology normally get maximum benefit out of this type of reading. |
