Is there anybody here who Knows about the healing/other properties of gemstones/crystals? I want to put together something as a gift for some friends who... aren’t doing so well in this life. I can look stuff up on the internet, but I’d very much like to consult someone who Knows these more earthy ‘arcane’ things that seem to fall so very far out of the Christian tradition in which I was raised.
I don’t really Know if stones have powers, but the minds of humans are succeptible to suggestion, and sometimes believing in something - even if it’s not true - makes a visible difference in their life. Placebo effect. If nothing else, I want to give something /symbolic/ of my healing-wishes for them. Call it the power of positive thinking, or prayer or whatever.
So... if you Know about this stuff, IM or PM or Email me and we’ll talk, ok?
((note about the capital K on ‘know’ -- I learned how to be skeptical, learned it far too well. I doubt things, and when I’m filled with grief and/or pain I only get more skeptical. It’s a defense mechanism of sorts. So when I say Know, I mean really and truly know the stuff to be true and right and undoubtable... >.> I’m wierd, I know.))
Do we have a gemstone/crystal expert?

Umm... white quartz, I think, is a good place to start. I used to know all of this stuff back in the day but it's kind of been pushed to the back of the brain. Put it outside in the sun for a while or in the bottom of a glass with saltwater for a few days (or both, if it's not too cold to freeze the water. XD) You need to cleanse it first before it will do a lot of good.
As for what you /do/ with them after that... usually I just kept them in my room, but I think you can keep them on you, in a pocket, etc etc.
Healing... try white and green rocks, or pink. If it's mental-healing, try more for purple, since that's a psychic colour? If you can pinpoint it to what region the person is sick in (if it's not an all-over condition) you might be able to work in chakra-colours, since I think that that makes the effect stronger.
Above all, try to think healing thoughts about the person (the whole 'healing white light sinking into them' or whatever works for you) and let them know that you're doing it. Rocks/crystals, I think, are a way to help people focus, rather then a means unto themselves. Having something tangible in your hand to think, "oh, this is healing me," is really just making your mind go into "oh, I'm healing," mode... and voila. Not that it works overnight or anything. XD Just keep at it and if the person wants your help, then know that you really /are/ helping a lot.
>.> Sorry this wasn't a PM; I'd rather keep it public so someone can dispute me if I'm wrong about anything. XD Or just to voice their own opinions?
Good luck with helping your friend.

Hemitite for bodily energy flow. The old trick is to wear a piece of hemitite and never take it off. When it falls off or breaks on its own, that's when your energy flow is fixed.
Also, crystals help channel energy. Use them for meditation practices.
Lapis Lazuli, I <i>think</i>, has something to do with healing.

Lol then I've spiked my energy flow an awful lot... I kept breaking those hematite rings... 
I would say, from a completely non-believer standpoint, that if you find a lovely looking stone and give it to em, they'll brighten up either way you look at it. What went through my mind, was that its clarity and beauty can remind them of what's important in life.
