Colored Stones
By Cinnamon Moon
Blue Stones:
The color of the ocean, of sleep, and of twilight. Ruled by
the element of Water and the planet Neptune, these are receptive
stones and promote peace. Holding a blue stone, or gazing at
it by a soft light calms the emotions. If you have difficulty
sleeping, try wearing blue stones to bed. This is also excellent
for halting nightmares. Blue stones are worn to promote healing,
in general, and specifically to reduce fevers, remove ulcers
and their causes, and for eliminating inflammations. They are
sometimes held to reduce or remove pain from the body. If you
feel in the need of purification, wear blue stones, perhaps
while bathing, to purify your inner being as well as your outer
flesh. This is often done prior to magical ritual....Scott Cunningham
Black Stones:
Receptive. They represent the Earth and stability and are ruled
by Saturn, the planet of restriction. Black stones are symbolic
of self-control, of resilience and quiet power. They are sometimes
viewed as protective, but black stones are more often used to
'earth' a person. If you're light-headed, dizzy, or so focused
on the spiritual that your physical life suffers, wear black
stones. Magically, black is the color of the outer spaces, of
the absence of light. If you wish to perform a spell of magical
invisibility, to ens;ure that your actions will not be noticed
by others, use a black stone for this purpose. For example,
make a small image of yourself out of black clay and adorn this
with black stones. Place it in a black box or one made of mirrors,
and then put the box in a dark place. This simply hides you
from others if they represent a threat to your life....Scott
Cunningham
Green Stones:
The color of nature, fertility,
life, often linked with red in religion and magic. These are
receptive stones, used in healing magic, perhaps by surrounding
a green or blue candle with the gems, lighting the candle, and
then visualizing the sick person as a vibrant, totally healed
person. They can also be carried or worn to guard the health.
Specifically, green stones are thought to strengthen the eyes,
control the kidneys, relieve stomach problems and prevent migraines.
Ruled by Venus, green stones are worn during gardening to promote
luxuriant growth, or are placed in the earth for this purpose.
If you have house plants, try putting a few empowered green
stones in the earth. Due to such usage, they were also thought
to increase fertility and therefore promote conception. Associations
with the element of Earth also lend to their use in spells involving
money, riches, prosperity and luck. They are grounding and balancing
stones which can be worn to attune with the Earth...Scott Cunningham
Multi-colored Stones:
Stones which consist of
various colors, such as bloodstone (green and red), tourmaline
(many combinations) and the opal (all colors) are, obviously,
more complex in their magical make-up than single hued stones.
For most of these, simply look at the colors individually and
determine the stone's uses by combining the energies of each.
Opals are a special case, as are all stones which exhibit rainbows
or a variety of colors. For those stones that contain flecks
of metals, such as lapis-lazuli (which contains iron pyrite),
the metals need to be considered. Various shades or combinations
of the basic colors (such as lime green or turquoise) again
require combining the information regarding each color....Scott
Cunningham
Orange Stones:
Orange stones have some of the fire of red but are gentler in
their effects. Projective, they have often been seen as symbols
of the Sun. They are ideal for use in protective rituals and
those designed to promote illumination. These stones are related
to personal power. Wearing one will enhance your ability to
tap into and direct this energy during magical rites. These
are excellent stones to wear for those people with low self-esteem,
for they expand your awareness of self-worth. Orange stones
are also thought to be luck-attracting, and as symbols of success,
they are worn during spells to assure a positive outcome...Scott
Cunningham
Pink Stones:
Pink stones are receptive, packed with loving vibrations. They
are calming, soothing, and used to de-stress and relax the physical
body as well as the mind. Sometimes thought to be ruled by Venus
(though green is a more Venusian color), pink stones are used
to attract a love or to strengthen love already present. They
may work to smooth over difficulties in long-standing relationships.
They can be worn to promote self-love. This isn't narcissism
but a realization of your faults, acceptance and release of
them, and then getting on with life. We cannot expect others
to love us if we don't love ourselves. Pink stones are one energy
we can utilize to achieve this. They promote peace, happiness,
joy and laughter. They stimulate the lighter emotions, help
attract friends and encourage openness toward others. Ideal
to utilize in group rituals...Scott Cunningham
Purple Stones:
Purple or indigo-colored stones are receptive and spiritual.
Ruled by Jupiter and Neptune, they have long been associated
with mysticism and purification. These are excellent stones
to wear for meditation, psychic work or during any ritual designed
to contact the subconscious mind. As with green and blue stones,
purple is the color of healing and peace. These stones are worn
to maintain health and are sometimes given to unruly children
to promote obedience. Physically, purple stones are utilized
to relieve complaints in the head such as headache, mental illness,
concussion and hair problems. They relieve depression and produce
restful sleep when worn at night. Associated with organized
religion as well as the more spontaneous, Earth-oriented systems.
They are worn to contact higher forces...Scott Cunningham
Red Stones:
Red is the color of blood, of birth and death. In many cultures
it has been sacred, or dedicated to the deities. Red stones
are projective and active. They are related to the planet Mars
and the element of Fire, both aggressive energies. These are
protective stones and work to strengthen the body and will power.
Red stones are used to promote courage, to lend energy to the
body, and to provide additional power to rituals by their presence
on the altar. In ancient times they were worn as antidotes to
poison, to keep one's thoughts pure, and, by drawing out the
causes, to banish anger and all violent emotions. They were
also used as a guard against fire and lightning. In healing,
red stones are intimately linked with blood. They are often
worn to relieve anemia, to halt bleeding and to heal wounds.
They also seem to work on rashes and inflammation. Perhaps in
association with its blood links, red stones were once carried
to prevent miscarriage. Red stones
can be empowered and used to overcome sexual dysfunctions, usually
by placing the stone near or on the genitals while visualizing....Scott
Cunningham
White Stones:
White stones:[/u] Receptive and ruled by the Moon. As such they
are intimately linked with sleep and psychism. In the past,
especially chalcedony, they were worn to promote lactation by
mothers having trouble feeding their babies. In contemporary
America, these are considered to be lucky stones, often carried
in the pocket or worn to promote good fortune. Because the Moon
glows at night, Her stones are used for protection after dark,
often when walking alone in hazardous places. Sometimes white
and red stones are carried or worn together for protection at
all hours. To be rid of a headache, carry a white stone in your
pocket. Some workers say that white stones, because they contain
all colors, can be magically charged to act as substitutes for
stones of any color. This done through visualization...Scott
Cunningham
Yellow Stones:
Yellow stones and minerals are projective. Ruled by Mercury,
they are used in rituals involving communication. If you're
having trouble expressing yourself in an intelligible way, try
wearing a yellow stone. Writers may receive help with their
work by utilizing yellow stones, while public speakers wear
them for eloquence. Also ruled by the Sun, yellow stones are
protective, while the element of Air, also a ruler, tells us
that they can be used to strengthen the conscious mind. They
are worn during magic to heighten visualizing yourself traveling
to your desired location. Healthwise, yellow stones are used
to promote digestion, to regulate the nervous system, and for
skin problems. Stones of movement, of exchange, of energy and
mental awareness...Scott Cunningham
