Crystal Directory

This directory also includes physical and mineralogical information

Brief Introduction
In relation to crystal healing and for the purpose of this directory, all crystals, minerals, non-minerals and rocks are referred to generically as ‘crystals’. Regardless of their composition or classification, they all come from the Earth, are natural and possess specific energy vibrations which make them suitable for healing work.  For a general explanation and true definition of a crystal, a mineral and so on, click here to go to Fascinating Facts.

Understanding Crystals
Crystals are the Earth’s gift to humankind – tools for knowledge, enlightenment and healing - and as such, every crystal has a task or mission to perform.     A crystal’s mission never changes, but different people can experience a wide range of effects from the same stone. For example, the mission of Blue Lace Agate is to calm and soothe the mental and emotional bodies, and it is associated with the Throat Chakra. Yet, its effects vary from person to person according to his or her needs: in one person, it might relieve nervous tension in the neck (Throat Chakra), in another the stomach (Solar Plexus), and so on.

Understanding a crystal’s mission or purpose, and not simply its effects, provides a deeper
and more holistic approach of how to use that crystal most effectively. There are no fixed rules - it is an instinctive process but below is a general guide which we hope you may find of help.

Properties of Quartz
For the purpose of this listing – giving metaphysical properties as well as physical and mineralogical ones - we have listed all variations of Quartz separately. There are also separate entries for Quartz from different locations which have become known for their specific properties such as Tibetan or Arkansas Quartz. There are also entries for other specific Quartz formations, like Strawberry Quartz and Spirit Quartz.  Below, however, is a brief explanation of Quartz and its family members. Those in bold have their own entry in this guide.

Quartz is made of Silicon Dioxide. The word Quartz comes from the Greek ‘krystallos’ meaning ice. It is from the Silicate class of minerals and is the most common form found on the planet - it is found in almost every type of rock and accounts for 12% of the Earth’s crust.  The Quartz group includes the macroscopic (large) crystals Amethyst, Citrine, Clear Quartz, Rose Quartz and Smokey QuartzThe cryptocrystalline (microscopic crystal) varieties of the Quartz group include Chalcedony or Agate and these Agates have many different types divided mainly by colour. Some examples are: Chrysoprase (green agate), Sard (yellow-brown Agate), Sardonxy (banded Sard), Onyx (usually black or white Agate), Carnelian (orange Agate), Jasper (mixed or impure Agate found in many colours) and Bloodstone (green Agate with flecks of Red Jasper).

Babies, Small Children and Crystals – A Brief Guide and Precautions
Whilst children and babies seem endlessly attracted by the colour, sparkle, feel and energy of crystals, they must, of course, be used with caution around them because small items may present a choking hazard.  Babies and small children should never be allowed to put crystals in their mouths or be left unattended with them.  Crystal carvings (animals, dinosaurs and hearts are especially popular) can be a good way to introduce older children to crystals, and you can have fun see which crystal and colour they are attracted to. If you are going to use crystals around babies, ensure they are kept well out of their reach. One way to let a baby benefit from the positive effects of crystals is to place a palm stone under their cot mattress. Be especially careful with this method, however, if you also have a curious toddler running around.  If you are in any doubt as to which crystal may be of use for your child you should first consult with an accredited crystal healing practitioner
