Warning, there’s a fair bit of woo talk in here. Avert your eyes sketpics, or perish! – I’m mostly joking.

I’ve been meaning to write about this for a while, as I’ve recently gotten back into collecting and using crystals for their properties.

I’ve had a somewhat modest collection of crystals compared to most that use them for spiritual purposes regularly, though I used to collect them more as a child. I have a probably have a box of jaspers and agates somewhere that was packed during the move in January. Though I’m not here to speak of the more boring details. Instead – I’ve had some interesting phenomena in regards to crystals.

First, a while back I was sent a few rough stones from Arizona along with a rune set in exchange for a tarot deck with someone on a discord chat room. I’ve still got some of these crystals however fewer of them than what was sent. There was one though that I can’t really identify – a white semi-translucent stone roughly in the shape of a knife. I don’t know why but I’ve particularly felt called by that stone for as long as I’ve had it in the open. There seems to be a feminine spirit attached to it that was happy when I said I would do a crystal interview found on this site. The first and third question had the most interesting results – The Devil reversed and Two of Wands respectively – with the Queen of Swords reversed in the fifth position. It makes sense that it is a ‘cut the bullshit’ kind of crystal since it is roughly in the shape of a blade.

The image above is a sampling of a few crystals in my collection, aside from these; most are pocket stones or pendulums.
From Left to right, top to bottom: Labradorite(Large shiny pickle shape), Amethyst, Another Labradorite, then a stone I’ve yet to identify. The brown one is Aragonite, next to raw clear quartz. Underneath that is a Selenite stick. On the bottom is rose quartz and a selenite pendant.

There’s another story recently where I was delivered the wrong crystal pendant over the internet – I initially purchased an Aragonite pendant but I received a Selenite one. I was initially upset, but there’s a saying that a crystal usually picks you and not the other way around. I started thinking that for the purposes I was going to use that pendant for – maybe this Selenite would have been more useful – I wasn’t aware of its properties at the time. A few of the more reputable healing crystal shops I’ve found will try to match the person with a crystal intentionally.

So those are a few stories I have with crystals. I’m starting to use some while sleeping just recently. I may update as I get any interesting results from that.
