wow, i gotta say,
i gave away 3 of my crystals last week that needed new homes, and it was nice to see how happy others were to have them.
i thought about selling them and even posted it on my blog i think, but when friends came over, it made much more sense to offer them as a gift. they are beautiful and deserve to have good homes.
i highly recommend this for others who may be needing some cleaning activities.
next i am going to go down to the ocean and burn some incents.

Re: gifting crystals
Wed, June 4, 2008 - 6:13 PMGiving away crystals is very satisfying if you can find people who actually feel their energies. I don't socialize much, so that can be challenging. Yesterday, I took a recently acquired Azeztulite necklace to my local bead shop to get some white silk cord for restringing. While discussing the necklace with the proprietor, a bystander who knew alomst nothing about crystals took an interest. When I let him wear the necklace for awhile it pretty much launched him. His description of the necklace having a "fizzy" energy and causing a throbbing in his forehead and warmth in the heart area was enough like my reaction that I knew he wasn't making it up. He was genuinely amazed and surprised - "blown away" as they say.
Today, I robbed some chips from my necklace to make one for him. It will be a combo of azeztulite, seraphinite, smokey quartz, and hematite.
I subsequently found out that this person has had a history of hard drug addiction in the past. It may be that some addictive personalities use drugs to stifle or mute an inherently over sensitive nature, and that the same vulnerabilities may make them more likely candidates for feeling so called "subtle" energies. Anyway, I am sure he is going to dig this necklace. It always feels good to pass these energies around, but it's especially gratifying to help a fresh convert especially if they are in real need of healing. -

Re: gifting crystals
Mon, June 9, 2008 - 5:43 AMThe second crystal I owned, clearly told its previous owner that it was coming home with me. So I keep myself open to hearing the same message from other crystals or stones in my collections. And yes, they do. When I first started expanding my collection by buying on eBay, I would find myself disappointed when there was no immediate feeling of connection once I got a new one in my hands. But then I realized it was simply that I had bought the crystal for someone else without realizing it, and when the crystal finds its new home, that is as delightful as when I do feel the connection.
And then there was the time that I let my boyfriend hold a rough Apache Tear someone else had given me, and he never quite got around to giving it back.

Re: gifting crystals
Wed, July 2, 2008 - 9:33 PMi once had a HUGE smoky quartz generator. it wasn't a perfect specimen but was filled with lots of rainbows and i really liked it. an acquaintance of mine came over for dinner, saw the quartz and ended up spending the majority of the evening laying on my sofa with the quartz aganist her belly. at the end of the evening she said she would like to "borrow" it. . . . . . . .of course that was the last time i saw the quartz
c'est la vie---- :)

Re: gifting crystals
Tue, June 10, 2008 - 6:31 AMHi. I'm new to the lemurian crystal. My bf has introduced it to me to help me recoveried from depressive symptoms. I used to look at 1 crystal from one site and the crystal made me wanted to meditate and when I meditated, my head was light.. and overly light overtime. Now that I own one myself. When I first held it, eventhough I was talking to my bf, it felt unconditional love and warm to my mind and I wanted to keep staring at it. Somehow, I wasn't sure that the crystal wants to be with me.
While I was with the crystal alone (the same say I have it, which is today) it somehow removes all my negative feelings as if I see no point of getting hurt and I understand people much better. But after a while, my head got too light and i cannot concentrate on my studies and I find myself trying to block the energy and think negatively about the crystal and afraid that the crystal will not like me. I thought why the crystal would want to be with someone as bad as i am. But still while I was with the crystal it seems as if i am not emotional; I see other people my friends (no prejudice) and i felt that whenever I start to feel hurt, the crystal took away my emotion. i'm very clear about it.
After I have returned home, I tried to meditate with it as many suggestions say on the internet. I normally couldn't meditate well by myself (heavy headed). Once I stares at the crystal this time, I had an urge to vomit and I really did vomit. I now respected the crystal more than loving it and tried to meditate with it. It cleared the heavy headed symptoms on the back of my head and gave me quite a strange experience. there is buzz of energy as I touched it with my forehead and moved it around. But after I got off meditation, it felt so stuffed headed.
Because the experience wasn't smooth and I saw that most people have a better connection with their crystals, I'm not sure whether it is because I was not doing it right/ i have problems that the crystal needs to slowly tune me, or that it doesn't want to be with me. At times when i get headache, I don't feel its energy at all.
Do you have any ideas on how I should use it? (it tells me to place it on my palms and puts my palm down on the floor and keep staring at it while I first was trying to meditate with it. This didn't give me headache. But i'm not sure if it was just my mind tells. does the crystal really talk?) Like now I feels that it loves me and that it wants to take care of me.
I hope this would sound a bit more like a word of the healthy headed person.
thank you for any reply.. and excuse my poor english since i'm not a native english speaker and i'm still on my way trying to improve my english communication skill.
with love -

Re: gifting crystals
Fri, June 13, 2008 - 9:26 AMacting as a caregiver of crystals has been coming up for me lately.
i dont feel that i actually 'own' them.
they come and go as feels appropriate
and especially the ones i buy - those are never for me.
I have merely accepted the role of carrying them somewhere / to someone.
i tend to keep the ones that are gifted to me far longer
they are the ones that speak.
but even if i have a given stone for the rest of my life...
it is not 'mine' - i am merely a temporary carrier / caregiver

Re: gifting crystals
Mon, July 14, 2008 - 6:39 AMA difficult thing with crystals is knowing when to put them down. I have the same problem most people have which is that if something feels good then I just keep doing it, but often one then overdoses on the energy. -

Re: gifting crystals
Tue, July 15, 2008 - 1:17 PMYes Solari, I've sometimes felt 'overdosed' when sleeping with stones. No harm done, just gets too intense so I give it a break. :)

Re: gifting crystals
Sun, June 29, 2008 - 8:03 PMMy crystals "leave me" all the time. I use them a lot in my work in various ways and they let me know when they're supposed to go home with someone else. Just yesterday a pretty hefty smokey quartz went home with someone I was working with, I recall spending a decent am't of money on it, but in that moment it didn't matter...I just knew it wasn't mine anymore and it was no big deal. I know it will be of great service to the woman who now holds it now. -

Re: gifting crystals
Tue, August 19, 2008 - 5:12 PMI recently went to the music festival Gathering of the Vibes in CT. The morning before I left i sat down to make some wraps for trading, bartering, gifting...whatever was to come. I had a great big amethyst point (but still small enough to wear). I wrapped it very simply in copper, and a I wrapped an ammonite fossil. I brought with me some loose green tourmalines. This was all I "felt" moved to make and bring with me. The ammonite I traded for a hula hoop for my daughter. and I traded two pieces of tourmaline for a homemade faery made of flower petals(again for my daughter) . the amethyst I tried to wear myself, but I was clearly told it was not for me. I had thought perhaps by wearing it I would attract the owner to me. Instead it went into my bag and indeed the moment came for the amethyst to meet it's new owner. There was alot more to the message as to why she needed and how she could use the crystal, but that's not for me to post here. I just love experiences like these. Glad to hear from others who listen to their crsytals. :-)
Many Blessings,
Jessie
