honesty, and help you to feel more comfortable speaking the
truth without feelings of guilt. My subtle energies are an aid
to open communications. My soothing energies may help you to
overcome stress. I can promote serenity, peace, and tolerance.
I can help you become more open to intimacy and attract and
nurture feelings of unconditional love. I may make you more
sensitive and better able to express the love you feel for those
around you. I promote and encourages gentleness and nurturing.
I may help to ease fears and allow you to let go of past pains.
I sooth and refreshes the heart and emotional aspects of yourself,
helping you find the inner wisdom that can manifest as clarity
of purpose and renewed hope for better times to come. Physically,
I may help with arthritis and other diseases of the bones and
joints. I may also be beneficial to the organs of the digestive
tract. This effect, combined with my stress relieving properties,
may help those suffering from ulcers. I may help women during
childbirth and help regulate menstrual irregularity.
Hematite
I'm closely tied to the blood, probably due to my iron content.
I may aid the kidney's blood cleansing function, speed tissue
regeneration, and contribute to the overall better health of
the blood. This can, in turn, help with the overall health and
energy levels of your entire body. I am a protective stone.
My energies are grounding, and can help you to connect with
the Earth and its beneficial properties. I can help bolster
low self-esteem, allowing you to feel more comfortable and allowing
you to feel better about yourself. I have historically been
used as an aid to astral projection. Use me during meditation
to help you escape the illusionary chains of this physical reality
and become more connected to your true, spirit self. I am a
good stone for those born during the Moon of Renewal - (22 Dec-
19 Jan.) I have grounding and soothing energies can help you
relax and unwind both physically and mentally. I have renewing
qualities also make me an excellent match for those born during
this time of the year, but everyone can benefit from me. I'm
a good choice for those born under the zodiac sign of Virgo.
Smoky quartz I am a brown form of crystal that can range from
medium to dark brown due to impurities like iron, carbon, or
titanium. I may contain minute amounts of radium. I have a hardness
of 7 on the Mohs' scale, and a specific gravity of 2.65. I'm
associated with the anchoring energies of the earth. This association
makes me a good choice for those wanting to gain a deeper appreciation
of nature or a greater concern for the environment. I'm said
to benefit the lower torso, especially the sexual organs, kidneys,
abdomen, and pancreas. Some healers use me to treat kidney disease,
menstrual cramps and fertility. My subtle energies are also
soothing to the heart and nervous system. My energies are more
subtle than those of clear quartz, so its influence is more
gradual. I can neutralize negative energies, but my slow working
nature makes me more suited for situations where caution is
called for or where gradual changes are desired. I'm a good
crystal for gazing. Meditations using me as a focus can lead
to "hidden" secrets being revealed. I aids you in
meditation by clearing worries and emotional blockages. I'm
a grounding and protective stone.
Moonstone
I'm a member of the feldspar group. I was named after my distinctive

that involve the emotions. My energies are feminine in nature.
I can help us all become more sensitive and loving. My subtle
energies can help to open and cleanse your heart. I am soothing

female aspects of yourself. This makes me a good choice for
men too because many men could benefit from being more sensitive
and better able to express love. In India, I'm considered sacred.
I bring good fortune, but, more importantly, it is seen as a
tool to promote spiritual enlightenment. I can help you become
more intuitive by boosting psychic ability. I have a powerful
effect on women's menstrual cycles. Women are cautioned about
wearing or carrying me at times of the full moon or when they

Usagi77:
The effect of stones on us
seems reliable and mysteries. I have a great interest in the
power of stones. I've heard about a crystal which has a tiny
drop of water with its inside. I've longed to see it, but I've
not seen yet. Have you ever heard about this crystal?
Katt:
I think the
crystal you're looking for is an Opal.
Usagi77:
Thanks a lot for precious
information, Katt! I'm very glad and happy to meet you. Have
you ever seen this opal? Could you tell me where I can see this
stone? Australia? I would be happy if you would reply to me.
Thanks.
