It is important to remember that what is written below is just someone else's thoughts, the crystals mentioned may not work for you as they have for me, it's always better to go with your own intuition ~ that won't let you down. I compiled the list to help those that may need it!

I have the two books from Robert Simmons. They got me started..but now I am a bit more critical ?
I mean that is HIS experience with stones..and where I live, in Canada, some shops provide little cards signed by him " it is guaranteed to be a real azeztulite" etc..
I am not against someone getting "known" but sometimes I wonder...is it for commercial purposes only ? Yes I know I am critical.
I like Judy Hall's books. She sounds less commercial.
I think all those books are guides only..but ultimately..you have to work out what works for you !
Why was the list sort of.. stopped?. I do have my own list of properties or attributes.. Yet my list doesn't match up with the list above.. How can this be?.. why are there so many books on this topic and all have different ideas on what a crystal can or can't do..
How is it that science can correctly identify a mineral or crystal bases on its structure and markup.. yet the metaphysical side.. has a hard time saying what a particular stone can do.. *ponders*
Never the less, Ming I like your attitude toward the over all skeem of things. For me the books are purely reference to the images.. Some location where the minerals can be found and the colors.. Yes I know.. I like to look at the pictures..
As for the properties of the stones.. No two people can feel or sense the same thing.. What works for one person may not work for another.. So I like your thoughts on this topic.. Leaving an open mind, but being careful not to corrupt your thoughts with someone else ideas.
I think the important thing here is to remember that crystals have a couple or several functions, and whatever that person needs at that time is what energy they'll receive. Also, Like you said, not everyone can sense every function that is taking place so they may miss a type of energy being given. That's why I think it's good to chat about crystals and get a general consensus on them. Just with medication, there are the common effects, the less common effects and the rare effects
Crystals & Minerals According To Sandra Holiman (Page 1)
Note To Reader:
On November 15th 2010, I had a chance to sit down with Sandra Holiman, (Niece residing in the foothills of the North Carolina Mountains, Who cares for 2 mentally ill children and actually found time to speak with me about minerals and crystals) Not having any connection with the outside world, (about minerals or crystals) I asked if she could tell me if she felt anything when holding stones within list below.
These are her findings..
As Spoken by: Sandra Holiman Edited by: Ore Gorman
Agate:
Stone of Yin-Yang. Emits energy of strength, power and courage. Cleansing and stabilizing effect on the body. Providing a new perceptive to situations and awakens ones inherent talents.
Blue Lace Agate: Brow Chakra & Throat Chakra
Stone of Communication. Easing the harsh edge off communication in difficult times, enhance public speaking, and smooth discussions. Helping one to reach extremely high spiritual spaces.
Camel Agate: Solar Plexus Chakra
Stone of Sleeping & Dreaming helping one to remember dreams and clarifying their meaning. One must be prepared for possibly very intense effects from this stone, as it can produce results from the deep subconscious that you must be ready to deal with. Promotes physical and mental strength.
Crazy Lace Agate:
Stone of Energy. Balances physical energies and can be used to reach high physical levels.
Fire Agate: Root Chakra & Solar Plexus Chakra
Stone of Encouragement. Energy provides an impetus to actions and stimulates both progression and advancement. It helps to dispel undesirable desires. It represents the spiritual flame of absolute perfection. It is said to dispel fears and to provide protection.
Moss Agate: Heart Chakra
Stone of Luck. Worn to attract new friends, wealth and happiness. It also strengthens the immune system and brings overall balance to the body.
Tree Agate:
Stone of Combination Combining energies from the white and green stones, Its best used for purification and cleansing. Also helps to encourage success and financial rewards (in a non-aggressive manner). It is also good for gardening, as it has a strong connection to nature.
If You Respond "Favorably" to this post, I'll continue posting the other pages.
Yes.. it is a good site which offers allot of usable information as well as images.. However, if you've read what I stated at the beginning of the post.. Sandra has no knowledge of crystals. Nor does she have access to the net or books..
How can one know of these things, when an item is simply placed into her hand.. In other words; I would trust Sandra's instinct over That Crystal Site's information..
Sandra Holiman has been very helpful in many of these things as well as my questions. I personally have no clue as to what properties a stone can possess. Therefore, my studies continue..
Indeed I felt I waste a huge amount of money at the beginning because I was following various books like te bible ...hmmm..just an expression : i do not follow the Bible.
I have not fallen in love with the "biggies" : moldavite and whatever was and still is now in vogue.
the more special or the bigger or the more expensive did not do necessarily anything for me...
a few definitely.......! but those might be useless to others..
I prefer renditions from p eople who hve not been kind of brainwashed reallly..(sorry keyboard is stuck).
