Trade marks on crystals
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 !
I think your right to be critical, this guy has trade marked "Azeztulite" aka Quartz which is abundantly available and is selling it at ridiculously expensive prices with his little trademark name cards.This kind of marketing is basically the "emperors new clothes" and bad for crystals which have their own "New Age" stigma attached already. Crystals can be obtained for reasonable prices (usually a couple of pounds) don't be fooled by Crystal carpet baggers preying on the gullible, in general there are very few NEW crystals.
I would recommend anything by Gienger or Hall.
Ming.. I to have been away for a while and it doesnt help that I don't have a computer at home.. However I still have my artical dealing with a few of the mnay crystals and stoens.. Yes I'll have to update this list.. but for now.. I'm going to try and post more via facebook or retweet my "Awakening Colors" whcih contain small text about that crystal/stone of the day. Most of the time I haven't had a chance to psot anythng due to the fact that the library doesn't allow me to hog thier comps and I only get 45 mins to do or say what I can.. The best way to keep track is my daily tweets. and of could I'll chekc in here from time to time.
My posted sort of stopped a few years ago due to the fact that Sandra stopped her mineral crystal properties readings.. Seeing how her family has disowned her after having 3 children out of wedlock.. she has other things to contain with until we can return to her home.
As for the "thousands of crystals" comments.. true.. and I'm actually not going to post anymore in regards to this topic. Seeing how I have a nice list already.. it is best for the User/Handler/Practitioner to decide what and how the crystal they have is best suited.
Question:
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*
.
I wanted to reply to this part of the post although it is rather old, it is still very important.
For me it is all to do with harmonics and vibrations. A crystal may be chemically the same as another but will have almost certainly gone through a different experience in it's creation. For instance take Obsidian. There are several places throughout the world where Obsidian forms, Peruvian Obsidian is gentler than say some of the American Obsidians or even Apache Tears. Quartz from Southern England has a much more friable structure and lower vibration than say Quartz from the Himalayas, but all are the same chemically and get called the same single name, so how can they be expected to have the same properties other than a baseline of similarity?
Morning Dear Cassie
My comment above was more of a statement than a question.. However.. Seeing that you've selected Obsidian as today subject and all (crystals in general) appear to be all the same.. they aren't.. Sure the lava forming obsidian is kept deep within the earths core then released. Within this passing and depending on the obsidians location in this world it can and will bring up host minerals or other properties as tag alongs or attaching themselves. Meaning that even thou it looks like obsidian if compared to another sample from a different part of the world, the properties markup is not the same.
Absolutely 🙂 That's why Obsidian is a good example. How can any one volcano be expected not to be individual and have unique properties 🙂
