Xaolu Quick question, Tektite looks an awful lot like lava rock or that floaty pumice stuff. how do you tell the difference? Isthere a difference in density or texture? Cause I know how the freshly cooled lava rock feels so I was wondering. Tektites are heavier. They're not porous, like lava stone is. They tend to be largely metallic, but may also have some glassy texture on them, around their edges.

I made myself a pendulum out of Red Tiger's Eye (which I am told is sometimes called Dragon's Eye) and I am very compatible energy wise with that. I also feel a good connection with the bits of Amethyst and Bloodstone I have.

oOGarrettOo I do enjoy its cousin, Tiger Iron, which has bands of jasper and hematite in it. Evil evil stuff...*shudder* Tiger iron is like getting hit by a Mack truck for me. It's like a "super" grounding stone for me. And I love hematite. Hrmm...I have issues with metals most of the time. I can't do aluminum, steel, or iron. It actually makes my hands ache to hold it. I'm thinking that's why I can't do hematite, it being an iron ore. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I do very much enjoy labradorite, it's just so pretty to look at. Rose quartz is alright. It's a nice cool stone, and I like the energies surrounding it. I found this clear quartz bracelet that I uberly want. It's made of all double-terminated quartz....I feel that some of the points are man-made, but it's still shiny. Or the gigantic piece of clear quartz that I found at a local metaphysical shop.

I've seen a really beautiful piece of Untouched or carved aquamarine. It's like a strip of it and it's a really nice blue. I asked the owner of the crystal shop to keep it under for me.

unseen shadow moon i found one about 7 years ago while on a school trip though i'm not sure what type it is ,as when you put it in water it becomes transucent enough to see colours through it and when dry it sparkles slightly under the right light. i searched along the beach for another but i was the only one my friends and i could find, i was drawn to it and have kept it since. ^.^ Is it a blue-ish sea water green? It sounds like Aquamarine to me.

I'm drawn to aquamarine and rose quartz. I don't know what they mean though. I can't explain why. When I have the rose quartz with me, I feel calm and untroubled and when I've got the aquamarine with me, I'm just happy and hopeful. Sometimes I would carry both with me, but I lost the aquamarine one since it was on a ring (it just decided to fall out one day that I was wearing the ring) but I still have the band that it was on. I found the rose quartz when I went to the mountains and played in the dirt.
Can anyone explain why I seem to be connected to these two stones?

Look up the properties of both stones and their magical uses as well. See which one resonates with you, then it will make sense.

I suppose if there's one stone I'm drawn to, it's amethyst. Conveniently, it's also a stone I have lots of. biggrin I used to live in a city that has an amethyst mine, and one summer my family decided to do the tourist thing, so amongst other things, we took a tour of the mine. And one of the things you could do while you were there is pick up your own amethyst. I've never thought to use it in magical workings, before, and I'm pretty sure part of my attraction to amethyst is just because it's purple, and purple is one of my favourite colours.
I do want to start collecting some stones for magical work, but I haven't really sat down and figured out which ones I want. Except I do want to get some lodestone, when next I get the opportunity.
