I thought i should start a topic where everyone can post pictures and talk about their gemstones that they use in magick and have lying around.
So i will start with a picture of ruby n’ zoisite, smoky quartz, clear quartz and orange calcite… And an egg made of a gemstone that starts with the letter R.

That’s very beautiful.
I really need to get one for myself so i can scry into it.

Here is a gemstone i purchased online… Its an Aqua Aura quartz which is basically super heated quartz crystal with gold sprinkled of the hot quartz… And then cooled. The gemstone has many magickal properties (as gold and quartz crystal do).

Anybody wouldn´t know if Agate dissolves in alcohol of water?

FantomGirl · September 21, 2018, 10:17pm

I don’t think it would but i don’t know for sure.

H.L.Daniel · September 21, 2018, 10:18pm

Well, yeah, considering that I´m going to use agate in a ritual involving alcohol I juat hope that it doesn´t.

FantomGirl · September 21, 2018, 10:19pm

Agate isn’t a soft gemstone like say Calcite so i don’t think it will.
(Calcite dissolves in water).

H.L.Daniel · September 21, 2018, 10:21pm

Well, I can always hope.

Calcite and agate are soluble in dilute acids, not in water.

FantomGirl · September 22, 2018, 5:29am

I must have read wrong about calcite.

DavidSmith · September 22, 2018, 5:31am

Calcite, as stone, crystalized. Cacite powder can be well mixed with water under specific conitions.
Thanks

Thank you for the information. Always learning each day.

Np
General advice is not to keep any crystal in tap water for a long period of time.
They can absorb impurites and chance color in some cases.

FantomGirl · September 22, 2018, 5:37am

Makes sense with the water thing.

Thanks again.

I recently made mala for meditation from hematite, carnelian and red jasper to boost my lower chakras, and after meditation before sleep i am like i just can’t sleep this stuf gives energy like coffe but it’s last longer- next day on morning i had train- i traveled 8 hours and normally it makes me tired, but not this time and was sleeping 5 hours. This set of stones have only one issue- it will not calm you, the heart will beat faster (but you will not get apoplexy). Good stuff to boost energy. Now i will try rose quartz with jadeite

FantomGirl · September 25, 2018, 5:35am

Ooo that sounds really cool. Thanks for sharing.

I’m jealous of your collection, very cool.
