Life can sometimes bring us unexpected surprises which throw us out of our routine and cause us distress. We are after all creatures of habit, preferring to sail the still waters of expected norms past familiar land marks that keep us safely housed within the borders of our known world. We may talk of wanting newness and adventure but truth is that we feel safe in our structured world and when something intrudes on the normalcy it shocks our systems.
Ruby dropped by recently to gift us with a message about coping with life’s unexpected surprises. Now I speak to you about bringing a surprise into your life on purpose!
It is all sorts of fun to receive something hidden within a package – knowing that it has come special delivery just for us. The surprise alone is a pleasure. But there is a greater gift in this exercise in adventure. One that we may not be aware of or, for that matter, that would enter into our conscious stream of thinking. It is that in the moment in which we pick up the package and begin to unwrap it – before we know what is inside it – we have opened up our hearts to receiving a gift. It is an exercise in trust; knowing that what is inside has been chosen just for us and accepting that gift – even being excited about it – without knowing what is coming.
If only we could always see life like this we’d be so much more joyful and peaceful. I think the biggest percentage of the stress in our lives comes from worry about what’s to come. Imagine if we could trust that in each moment the Universe is blessing us with a gift that is chosen just for us with so much love and thoughtfulness. It may not be something we thought we wanted or knew we needed. But if we can stay open to the idea that whatever comes is a gift from the Universe – that the Universe sends us ONLY what we most need and that is for our highest good in each moment – imagine how much happier we would be.
An image is filling my mind now of a grand Creator being strolling down the aisles of a department store picking out things to fill a sparkly gift bag with my name etched into it with letters made of light. She is taking such great care in lovingly choosing only the best things to send into my life. The examples the Universe sends to help me understand makes me chuckle sometimes.
It’s easy to think of life’s surprises in this way when they are things that we want and have been praying for. It’s not as easy to see the unexpected surprises as gifts of love sent from the Universe – especially when these surprises are painful.
So if you are wanting to begin to open your heart in trust you can begin by surprising yourself on purpose. I invite you to choose to allow me to send you a stone surprise. This is an easy way to being to let go of doubt and hesitation and trust that the Universe is sending you the most perfect thing. It’s easy to take a chance with crystals because hey – they are crystals – and ANY crystal would be a wonderful gift.
The Stone Surprise is something I’ve offered before and many of my regular clients choose them. With the new website came a new energy – so I’m offering “the surprise” in a different way than I used to. There is one simple fee for listening for a crystal for you. The crystal itself is a gift – as are all the crystals on the website. It is quite a different way to “do business”. It takes you right out of expectation or perception of a stone’s size, value, aesthetics or popular metaphysical properties and focusses instead on what energy you need in the moment and which crystal is singing for you in this time. It took a deep trust in the Universe and in myself to shift to this way of offering the crystals. I don’t know anyone else who offers them in this way and I was not sure if this model would be accepted. It does make a really big difference in the energy of the experience with the crystals when you receive them in this way. You will see when you have experienced this way of playing with the stone beings.
]]>When I speak of magic, I speak of the way the crystals seem to be shining brighter and singing louder. and of the synchronicities and the inexplicable events that had happened here. I’m speaking of things that are happening to me personally, but the truth is this magic is happening all around us … everywhere and to all of us … it’s just that there are times, with the help of some fairy folk, that we can REALLY SEE IT!
I see the fairies often in the crystals (other places too, but especially in the crystals). Are they doorways to their realm? Well the Kullies began the teaching and then the Citrine Cathedrals continued it. The crystals, like the fairies can hold their awareness in both realms (or more than one realm). When we are open to it, they can show us glimpses into the fairy/elemental realm. This is why and how they can “seem” to change form and clarity and colour … they really are holding more than 1 form, but we are used to only seeing one of their forms at a time. That allows us to remain grounded in our physical realm. So in a sense, they have not changed, but are showing us another aspect/dimension of who they are … and we are able to see it, because we are open to it. We are at that moment VERY connected to the LOVE vibration.
The fairies are the inspiration for this page. They had been making their presence felt and known in connection with a lightning crystal … I’m always seeing the fairies in the lightning struck crystals. I’ve been finding myself wondering if these lightning marks aren’t actually fairy footprints. I’m beginning to discover this is true of the self healed crystals as well … I often see fairies dancing in the crystals that have had a healing … personally I believe that they come to help with the transformation.
Anyway the fairies were playing with me and a few of my customers. They were guiding a Lightning crystal find it’s destined home … pictures were not getting through, and then appearing days later … links were going to the wrong places … the crystal being chosen by one and then ending up with another … it was not the “typical” scenario. They did make sure that the crystal ended up going where it needed to go, but I feel that there was a deeper purpose in their presence and their playfulness. There was a common thread between each of those involved with this Lightning crystal, and that was that each of us ended up discussing the fairies. They sprinkled fairy dust on each of us and we felt their presence so powerfully that we began speaking to each other about them. And that I believe was one of their true purposes in this whole wonderful synchronistic experience. THEY WANTED US TO KNOW! They wanted us to speak to each other about them.
As big and open to Spirit and Magic that this world has become, we are still hesitant to speak openly of such things. Our silence causes us to feel alone and sometimes to doubt our sanity … we find ourselves wondering if these magical things that happen are really true, or if we’re having our own private hallucination. Each of us who were involved in the Fairy-Lightning crystal connection felt comfort and a little relief in sharing this experience openly with each other. It is one thing to know or believe that fairies are real and another to take that knowing outside of ourselves and share it with others. It is comforting to know that there are others that BELIEVE!
Well … I BELIEVE! and I know a few others out there who do too! This writing comes form a co-creation of kindred spirits and fairy folk. We share it just in case a few more of you also BELIEVE and may take comfort from the knowing that others like you BELIEVE TOO!
May you feel the playful presence of the elemental beings in all your days !!!
]]>There is the belief, in numerology, that there is a significance to our names. Each letter has a number associated with it, which vibrates to a particular frequency. It is said that the numbers which are missing from the name, indicate those experiences which are needed during this lifetime. It is also said that the numbers which are included in the name represent the minerals which will help us fulfill that which is need during this lifetime. Crystals and stones, that vibrate to specific frequencies, may help us to complete and to understand the experiences which are necessary to help us on our path.
Having said this, I am of the belief that we should choose stones and crystals that draw us to them, regardless of their numerical vibrations. The other things may be interesting and may be helpful in completing the picture, but it is always best to trust your instincts.
With the following chart and a basic understanding of numerology, you can figure out the numerical vibration of any of your crystal friends. Simply match up the letters to the numbers and add them all up. If you end up with more than a one digit total, add the numbers together until you’ve got a single digit. Please note that certain numbers are not reduced to a single digit. They are master numbers (11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99 – though some only consider 11, 22 and 33 master numbers). There is lots of wonderful information out there on numerology. This is really only meant as a quick reference chart so you can determine the numerical vibration of your crystal.

Geometry is the purest visible expression of number. It is the bridge between the one and the many. Sacred Geometry is an ancient science that explores the energy patterns that create and unify all things. These basic patterns of existence are perceived as the blueprint of Creation and the genesis of all form. They are considered sacred because in contemplating them one is contemplating the origin of all things. It is believed that by studying the nature of these forms and their relationship to each other one may gain insight into the scientific, philosophical, psychological, aesthetic and mystical laws of the universe. Nature’s harmonious principles are seen through its mathematical relationships.
There are 5 unique shapes, which are distinguished from all other forms by their perfection of internal balance and harmony. These shapes are called the Platonic solids. They were named for Plato, but were used by Pythagoras and ancient Egyptians 2200 years earlier. Called the perfect solids, they are considered the five primary forms within which are contained all the mathematical principles found throughout nature. These five shapes occur naturally in crystals and are the basis of all created structures. The ancient Greeks believed that they could achieve mystical experiences by meditating on these 5 three dimensional geometric shapes. They are linked to the energy centers of the body and to the subtle energy fields that surround the human form. They are also associated with the orbits of the planets around the sun and to the relationships among the celestial bodies. Meditation on these forms attunes the mind to the “music of the spheres”, the plane of eternal harmony.

Any stone being can support and guide us in dreamtime. If you set your intention to find a stone to journey with during dreamtime, a crystal will manifest for you. In the meantime here are some of the stones that some in the metaphysical community recommend for dream work.
AJOITE: Ajoite produces a melding between the heart chakra and the throat chakra, helping us to speak what is in our heart. What follows is a peacefulness and a joyful acceptance of our surroundings, circumstances and environment. Ajoite is said to energize and to activate the peace chakra (an energy field between the throat chakra and the heart chakras). The energy of Ajoite brings peace within the self, regardless of where we are – in body or mind. It stimulates understanding and total acceptance. It enhances creativity and communication.
ANATASE: Anatase is one of the 3 mineral forms of Titanium Dioxide, the other two being Brookite and Rutile. Anatase is the rarer of the three. So basically, they are all different manifestations of ONE ELEMENT! I think this is extremely profound. This crystal clearly demonstrates the concept of ONENESS. It is a gift to see how one being can take 3 different forms. It helps us to imagine how in a world with a unfathomable amount of physically different life forms, we are at our essence … the SAME!
ANGELITE: Angelite is a stone of the ethereal realm. Reach for this soft source of support when you want to connect with the Angels or other ethereal guides or when you want to connect with or explore your dreamself.
BROOKITE: Brookite is one of the 3 mineral forms of Titanium Dioxide, the other two being Rutile and Anatase (the rarest of the three). So basically, they are all different manifestations of ONE ELEMENT! I think this is extremely profound. This crystal clearly demonstrates the concept of ONENESS. It is a gift to see how one being can take 3 different forms. It helps us to imagine how in a world with a unfathomable amount of physically different life forms, we are at our essence … the SAME!
BUSTAMITE: Bustamite is conducive to the dream state and stimulates the sate of awareness during dream time, cultivating the dream state as a vehicle for meditation. It also provides for access to angelic beings in the purity of the light.
CALCITE: Calcite releases electrical impulses when placed under pressure, and is an energy amplifier. It is said to help the mind and body to remember: The, mind to remember information brought to bear during astral travel and channeling experiences; the body, to remember the state of perfection during dis-ease in order to return to the natural state of flawlessness.
SAND CALCITE: Has been used to promote lucid dreaming and recall of same.
CHINESE WRITING ROCK: It is an excellent stone for dreaming, assisting one into the dream state and directing ones dreams toward the subject that one has pre-determined.
DIASPOR: Sleeping with Diaspor can facilitate the vividness of dreams and enhancement of the recall of same – the actual detail becomes “crystal” clear in the mind that it is similar to recalling a scene that one has just experienced; having sufficient time to record dreams would no longer be a problem with the use of this stone. In addition, past-life dreams are prevalent. During meditation with this mineral, one may ask questions and expect to receive clear, concise, and accurate answers.
DREAM QUARTZ: As its name suggests, Dream Quartz is a stone being that offers support in lucid dreaming and deep meditation and can assist us in recall these dreamtime experiences. In the waking world Dream Quartz allows us to more clearly envision and manifest our dreams for the kind of life we wish to create. Past life exploration with Dream Quartz can help us remember skills and talents we possessed before, but which may now lie dormant in the unconscious.
SHAMANIC DREAM QUARTZ: Fittingly, they are also called Garden Quartz or Landscape Quartz. These crystals sing of harmony and unity. They sing of abundance and community. They sing of creativity and imagination. They sing of dreams and dreaming.
EUDIALYTE: Stimulates both the Alpha and the Beta states, supporting the discharge of the Beta brain wave pattern to the level of the conscious mind; it activates the Alpha brain wave pattern on the level of the dreaming mind, during the creative state, and with the initiation of minimal extra sensory perception and cellular energy renewal. There is measurable increate in both the Alpha and the Beta states after holding Eudialyte for one hour.
FLINT: Has been used to prevent nightmares.
STAR GARNET: Helps one to remember dreams.
GOLD: Has been used in the treatment of nightmares.
JADE: Is known as a “dream stone”. It improves ones remember of dreams and assists in “dream-solving”. It is used to release suppressed emotions via the dream process: for this activity, a piece of jade is placed under the pillow prior to sleep.
RED JASPER: Can facilitate the reiteration of dreams to allow the dreamer to remember the aspects which could be consequential in ones life. it seems to replicate the dream on a video-type mechanism for access during states of meditation.
KYANITE: Helps to induce recall of dreams and to promote dream-solving, providing for access to solutions during the dream state.
LAPIS: Can be placed over the third-eye to aid one in developing insight into ones own dreams. It assists in providing a connection with the dream forces which are working to goth guide and counsel one during altered states.
LAZULITE: Lazulite stimulates the third eye, and the inherent psychic and intuitive abilities within. Meditation with Lazulite is very deep, very calming facilitating all forms of psychic visioning, astral travel, clairaudience and channelling. Lazulite is useful for sharing fears and accessing insights and answers to all forms of worries. Lazulite can be used to enter the lucid dream state, and open a channel to the collective consciousness. Lazulite is helpful in harmonising the endocrine system and boost the immune system. It can help reduce sun sensitivity and be useful in treating addictive behaviors. It can also reduce the effects of headaches. Lazulite is known to make one feel peaceful and provide positive, spiritual energy. It also helps one to see things from a different perspective. It also will stop one from doubting others and themselves. It is also helpful if one has an addictive personality, as it helps one to see the reality of this life. Lazulite also aids the intuitive power of the individual and helps one to become more generous towards others.
LEMURIAN DREAM CRYSTALS: Lemurian dream quartz contains phantoms ranging in colour from creamy white to pale green, and integrates spiritual dreams and awareness into the realities of the earthly life. They easily elevate thoughts to access Lemurian wisdom from higher planes.
MICA: It can be used to facilitate clarity in visions and mysticism.
MOONSTONE: It is a feeling stone, stimulating intuition and helping one to apply the intuitive knowledge in a practical sense. It brings flashes of insight in which one will always gain from the experience.
OPAL: Is known as a “stone of happy dreams”; arising from the understanding of personal higher potentials coupled with the glad acceptance of ones inherent perfection. It has bee used by the native American Indian and the Australian Aboriginal shamen to invoke visions; it has also been used during the Native American ceremony of the vision quest; and by the Australian aborigines during ceremonial “dreamtime”.
CAT’S EYE OPAL: Facilitates the transforming of states from Alpha, to Beta, to Gamma and enhances lucidity in dreaming and memory of same.
PRINTSTONE: This mineral has been used to assist one in visioning and to provide an inner light during mindful meditation such that one may see the answers to problems and/or view situations in a more illuminating “light”.
PUDDING STONE: Can facilitate the reiteration of dreams to allow the dreamer to remember the aspects which could be consequential in ones life. It seems to replicate the dream on a video-type mechanism for access during states of meditation.
QUARTZ: Placed/worn pointing towards the crown chakra or under the pillow during sleep, it can bring wisdom and clarity to your dreams and can help us to understand the messages and lessons conveyed during the dream state. It also promotes restful sleep.
BETA QUARTZ: It has been used for de-coding/encoding of patterns from dreams and visions, assisting in clear channels of communication from both the higher-self and the inner self; hence, the information flows freely and contributes information which assists one in determining the appropriate and foremost actions which will enhance and strengthen ones continuation on the selected path.
QUARTZ WITH MICA INCLUSIONS: It is said to have been used in ancient ceremonial activities and to maintain the psychic energies of that time period. It promotes dreaming and stimulates the connection with, and transmission of information from, that time period.
RUBY: The energy of the ruby is intense and vivid, bringing lucidity to the dream state and conveying understanding and control of the role and action of the mental state upon the physical realm.
RUTILE: Rutile is one of the 3 mineral forms of Titanium Dioxide, the other two being Brookite and Anatase (the rarest of the three). So basically, they are all different manifestations of ONE ELEMENT! I think this is extremely profound. This crystal clearly demonstrates the concept of ONENESS. It is a gift to see how one being can take 3 different forms. It helps us to imagine how in a world with an unfathomable amount of physically different life forms, we are at our essence … the SAME!
SYLVINITE: Has been used to stimulate “objectified dreaming”, such that one may begin a remolding of ones form within the dream state. It further assists one in recognizing the alignment of ones structure/body with the alignment of the magnetic/electrical forces of the biosphere and of the Earth, wind, water, etc.
TEKTITE: It assists one in both lucid dreaming and dream recall.

Remember, the best place to find the message your Animal Totem has for you is directly from your animal guide. Ask them what they’ve come to show you. Just as you connect with the crystalline beings, so can you connect with the Animals. Listening to the song of your Animal Totem is not any different than listening to the Songs of the Stones.
]]>I have written these words and only now do I realize that EVEN I was not ready to venture forth into this magical realm. My way was barred by the fairy guardians. I have been hearing the sparkle of their laughter as I tried over and over to reclaim the lost pages of this listing. Not once .. not twice … but thrice this listing had been created and erased by their mischievous spirit. I can only join in their laughter at my insistence in trying to control this offering. When one ventures into the magical realm and plays with the magical creatures which dwell therein, one must trust fully and with a completely open heart. I AM READY. I TRUST. I AM OPEN.
In the midst of fairy play and singing crystals, a new stone being made its presence know to me as “Dragon Egg”. This BLUE DRAGON EGG sparked something within me … a remembrance … a recognition … a deja vu. I’m not sure what to call it. I’d only ever seen one other before this that evoked these same feelings … a very RARE Romanian Smoky Quartz Crystal.
Seeing this Blue Quartz crystal helped give more substance to this fleeting memory. This crystal has a very special form. It is shaped like an egg – but an ancient egg – one that has been covered and hidden until the right and perfect time – like this memory. It is hazy, but as the fog lifts more is revealed until I see it fully and then I remember. The Blue Egg is mostly opaque, but there is a small translucent window. I saw a movement in the egg through that window. A blue billowy substance in the egg that glows. I realized that something special was happening – something magical. A birth. A birth of a fairy baby. The egg was about to hatch.
She was not the only one. There were others and she guided me to them all. They were also birthing fairy babies … TWINS! For a moment … I saw them all. They were revealed to me in a very clear way … in that moment. The moment passed and doubt crept in again. Perhaps this was the reason this listing disappeared … as my trust did. I trust fully now that they are there. They are there and they will show themselves in that perfect moment … when all falls into perfect alignment, in perfect harmony. They are there and you will see them when the Universe takes a breath and blows away the haze of uncertainty and reveals them in the clarity of trust.
This first Blue Egg showed e that the Dragon Egg crystals could be any type of stone or crystal. They hold within them a spark … a seed of life. I remembered this same spark within a group of Agate Enhydro stones (Water Babies). She helped me to understand that the Dragon Eggs hold that same spark. They hold life within their being! But a kind of life that we are not familiar with. We might not fathom or understand that life, but it is LIFE nonetheless! I had the sense that these Dragon Egg Crystals were very consciously and intentionally gridding themselves in significant places around the world … getting ready to hatch!
The magic that surrounds these wondrous stone beings has been woven through many connections with many beings. Even colour was part of this dance. The pink and blue rays had been shining so persistently at the time of the emergence of the Dragon Eggs as if to announce the birth of these magical ones. They were not so much a sign of boy baby or girl baby … just BABY period! Ok … Ok … I got it. IN CELEBRATION of the Dragon births, a beautiful group of Pink and Blue crystal duets came together.
As I usually do, I took lots of wonderful pictures of these beautiful stone beings and I posted several of each of the crystals. It seems that I am being asked to trust even deeper here … not just in myself, but in you as well. I am to trust that the eggs will find their way home in a simpler way. I am to trust that you do not need to see a picture to know in your heart if you are to become guardian to a dragon egg fairy baby. I am to trust that each of the 13 egg crystals which are awaiting homes will find their way … they will actually GUIDE the way. The fee was also guided.
A special song came through this magical connection for those who take home a Dragon Egg. I am working on making it available as an offering in the Lightbrary.
Here’s a message I received from one of my clients who chose a Dragon Egg and a personal song:
Hi Smadar ... I want to share with you that today I received these wonderful stone beings. I had just looked at them and read their song. I don’t have words to describe the magic Im feeling right now. This nest its so so beautiful beyond words… It was an incredible and powerful connection as if we have found each other after a very long time… To my dear dragons… I was not fully aware of the love I have to the dragons… Until now…. The energy is flowing in a magical way in my entire body and beyond it and I feel a blessed energy that simply made me cry.

Shungite (or Shungit) is a rare, ancient stone, named for the only place in the world where it can be found – Shun’ga, Karelia, in the northern region of Russia. It is a non-crystalline metamorphic rock containing a rare form of Carbon. Similar in appearance to black coal, this special stone being has a very unique property – it contains a unique form of Carbon, called the Fullerene or Buckyball (for it’s shape).
Fullerenes were named after Richard Buckminster Fuller, an architect known for the design of geodesic domes which resemble spherical fullerenes in appearance. A spherical fullerene looks like a soccer ball, and are often called “buckyballs”. Fullerenes have only recently been found to occur in nature. More recently, fullerenes have been detected in outer space. According to astronomer Letizia Stanghellini, “It’s possible that buckyballs from outer space provided seeds for life on Earth.”
Carbon has been known since ancient times in the form of soot, charcoal, graphite and diamonds. Ancient cultures did not realize, at the time, that these substances were different forms of the same element. We can learn a lot about a stone’s metaphysical qualities from its physical qualities.
Carbon is a natural filter and is commonly used in our modern industry as such. Think of the Brita, which uses a carbon filter. However, Carbon’s filtering property was known long ago. Having been used for several hundred years, it is considered one of the oldest means of water purification. Historians have shown evidence that carbon filtration may have been used in ancient Egyptian cultures for both air and water sanitization. I have found reference to a 2000 B.C. Sanskrit text which refers to filtering water through charcoal. So it doesn’t take much imagination to see that metaphysically Shungite would be very supportive in filtering any undesirable energies.
Carbon has another very special property … over time and with enough pressure it can become a diamond! Both are the SAME element. In the form of diamond, Carbon has the highest ability to conduct heat of any element. This is the origin of the slang term “ice” – diamond, at room temperature, carries heat away from your warmer skin faster than any other material and so feels cold to touch. I told my mom I was going to give her a diamond bracelet as a gift… was she ever excited. She was not disappointed when she saw the Shungite and she started wearing it right away. Now my dad wants one too! Who says diamonds are only a girl’s best friend!
Carbon has the potential of being one of the softest substances and one of the hardest! In its tone, it can be one of the darkest and one of the lightest. Opaque, dull and dark in its coal form and translucent, brilliant and light as a diamond. I imagine that it can help us to see the softness and the strength within each of us … allowing us to see the darkness AND light of our world and showing us that they are both, at their very core, the SAME THING. I can see Shungite offering its support in coming to a balance between them. I imagine that this is the secret of its powerful energy – holding these extreme potentials in its very essence – yet able to draw on that which it needs to hold the form it has chosen to take.
Carbon has the highest melting/sublimation point of all the elements. At the melting point the solid and liquid phase exist in equilibrium. Carbon does not actually melt (become liquid), rather it transitions directly from a solid to a gas. Again it demonstrates its nature of extremes. This is another example of this stone being’s extreme polarities.
DNA, the famous double-helix molecule is made possible by carbon’s ability to form long molecular chains. It’s interconnectivity! I see the potential of this stone to help us with our own personal connections … OUR own interconnectivity!
True authentic Shungite has a very special quality. It is a good conductor of electricity. Very few stones have this quality. There is a simple makeshift tester that I had my electrician husband help me put together from drawings on the internet. When you touch the stone on either side with each of two wires, a little light bulb lights up. It is quite something. It serves two purposes. It shows us this beautiful quality and it confirms the authenticity of the stone. I have tested all the stones that are here. All of them make the bulb light up : ) Now what does this “electric” quality tell us about Shungite’s metaphysical property. Well … electricity is energy – so Shungite can teach us about working with energy – about feeling the flow of energy. Shungite might be helpful to those lightworkers who use “hands on” techniques. Electricity is also about LIGHT … think of LIGHTNING and Light Bulbs. Shungite would be a good teacher of LIGHT, helping us to see that the darkness is not an absence of light – just another aspect of it. Again I see this theme of extremes and balance here – where at our core we are ONE and the same with all aspects of being. At our essence we are ENERGY and LIGHT … energetic beings of light. Shungite can help us to see that. It can support us in realizing that that we ARE physical beings but we are also, and at our true essence, being of LIGHT.
There is much more to discover about this very special stone. You don’t need to stop here. You can continue to explore the depths of this special stone being both through the vast amount of information available out there or, and this is my favorite way, go directly to the stone. Feel its energy … Listen to its Song … Trust yourself …

Salt was the principle of fixity (non-action) and in-combustibility. Salt is the earth element, representing the vegetable salts extracted from calcined ashes of plant body. The Salt represents the Body of a thing. It is the receptacle for the energies of Mercury and Sulphur. Salt contains the elements Water and Earth. The receiving of the influences of the Soul which are transmitted through the spirit occurs through the element Water. In the chemical aspects, this neutral energy resides in the salts of the lab materials, both soluble and insoluble.
Mercury was the principle of fusibility (ability to melt and flow) and volatility. Mercury is the water element, representing the life essence of the plant, the very alcohol extract of the plant is the carrier of the life essence. Mercury is the passive, Female energy of the universe. It unites with the Sulfur to produce a Manifestation, whatever that may be (whatever you are trying to create). In order for the energies of Life to transmit their influence into matter, Mercury is needed: It contains the Air of Life and the Water of Matter. In chemistry, this energy resides in the alcohol of the material you work with.
Sulphur was the principle of inflammability. Sulphur is the fire element, virtue of plant, representing the volatile oil essence of the plant. Sulphur is the Male, active energy of the universe. For us it represents the Soul. Chemically, it resides in the essential oils of the material you work with.
NOTE: My thanks and gratitude to James Collins of Alchymie.ca for permission to use his well researched and beautifully written information on the Three Principles of Alchemy.
I was guided to bring 2 magical elements together to explore the magic of alchemy through the stone beings – sulphur and cinnabar. Both are rare beings and both come to teach us of crystal alchemy. These stones have come together in union – yes for the purpose of creating a “new” energy, but also to reveal something to us … look deep into their essence to discover what that wisdom is.
Sulphur is a magical substance. It is an essential element to all life. When burned, sulfur melts to a blood-red liquid and emits a blue flame which is best observed in the dark. (NOTE: Please do not try to do this without the proper experience and/or supervision.) There is something truly amazing about the crystals who have an outward appearance that is different to it’s essence. Sulphur shows us this special quality through the colours Yellow, Blue and Red … the bright yellow of its outward appearance, it’s inner essence of blood red, and the blue energy it emits when burning. Another way Sulphur shows us it’s “blue side”, is that Lapis Lazuli owes it’s blue colour to a Sulphur radical. This “trinity” that Sulphur holds is, I believe, a significant part of it’s magic!
Mercury is another magical substance. Also known as quicksilver, it is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature. I have always loved its magical magnetic quality and how it will come together with separate drops of itself. Something that connects it to Sulphur is the colour red. Sulphur is red in liquid form – mercury reveals its red essence when found in its solid form as Cinnabar. Because it contains mercury which is a potentially toxic substance, Cinnabar must be handled with care. I have done some research and the consensus seems to be that the tumbled version of the stone is safe to handle, providing you take precautions: ie, don’t ingest, don’t inhale the dust and wash hands after handling. I would add that it’s best to keep this stone away from kids. Mindat has a health warning on their site if you want more information. I feel I should mention that there are many imitation versions of Cinnabar on the market and sometimes they are sold as authentic. I did get these stones from a reliable source, but even my source would not guarantee its authenticity. I trust it, but I always prefer to reveal everything I know about the stones.
Red and Yellow – bright, intense colours. Colours of caution and danger. Colours of fire and of intensity. Colours of power and survival. The colours of energy and life force – the Sun and blood. Masculine and feminine. An Alchemical marriage is a union between two energies which come together to create a third energy that was not present before the union. Each partner illuminates qualities within the other without hiding anything of themselves.
NOTE: Sulphur and Cinnabar are not to be treated lightly in their handling. If you have any concerns or fears, please consider other stones. Trust yourself with these as with all the stone beings. There are several non-toxic Alchemical Crystals for you to choose from. Sulphur has a very distinctive scent. Please keep this in mind when handling it. You will probably want to wash your hands afterwards. Lemon and/or baking soda work wonders for releasing the scent.
]]>The transmutation of lead to gold is what most think of when they hear the word alchemy. There are those who see alchemy as a spiritual transformation likened to the transmutation of lead to gold. But Gold is the goal be it real or metaphorical. Why is that? Alchemy was an art. It was a science. It was the basis for all science which followed including modern medicine. It all began with Alchemy. It was so much more than the search for the philosopher’s stone. It’s like saying aspirin is the only medicine of the modern doctor, and their purpose is the search for the cure to the common cold.
Open your minds and hearts to an ancient practice full of intrigue and new discoveries. It was a time of possibility. It was a time where physical and metaphysical were united. The ancient alchemists understood that there is more there than what is seen with the physical eye.
So why have we reduced these artists, scientists and philosophers to one aspect of a magical practice. Why do we only focus on the Philosopher’s stone, the transformation of lead to gold. Because of the value of gold. Even those who look at this transformation as a spiritual one, focus on the end result – enlightenment … spiritual gold. Both are missing the true treasure and that’s why the Philosopher’s stone is so elusive. The seekers focus on a goal. One of changing something of little or no value to that of great worth. That quest has no end in sight. It is a treasure so deeply hidden it will not be found. Those who set out on such a quest will meet death before uncovering the secret.
The making of gold is not the purpose of the philosopher’s stone. And achieving enlightenment is not the goal of the true spiritual alchemist. Both are illusions brought forth from the ego in attempt at control.
The end result is not the purpose … the journey is the purpose. The process itself is the treasure. That is because changing lead to gold is nothing compared to finding the place where 2 substances meet to become one. That is the true magic … the true treasure. Finding that point of convergence opens up a world not conceived of by mortal man …
[a small part of the song below was personal but I left it in, trusting that you might find something in that piece that speaks to you in a personal way as well]
You are about to venture into a new space … and your world is about to get a great deal bigger. It’s about to blow wide open.
Take baby steps as you venture onto this new ground. There is lots of time. Time actually is irrelevant in this place.
This is the place of true alchemy. The true magical practice, hidden from the world for eons. That which is believed to be alchemy by most is an illusion based attempt to discover the true hidden realm. It is a grasp in the dark – but such a grasp that the reach is not even on the same world. It is quite like modern medical science trying to heal something they don’t understand. That is the alchemist trying to change lead into gold.
On the spiritual side those seeking enlightenment through spiritual alchemy are like those trying to heal others with energy and vibrational techniques. Both sides are locked on a path which takes them in circles.
You have already stepped off that path and are about to journey further into that realm of true magick and transformation. You are about to begin to translate that ancient language you’ve been receiving messages about. Let go of any expectations as to how you will do it – or what it even means. It will simply happen like other things have when you allow them to unfold without questions, hesitation or doubt. You will be far into it before you realize what it is you are even doing.
This will require complete trust in yourself. There is no holding back here. it is time to let go fully and completely.
Stay within yourself. Trust ALL of what comes. Yes all of it. There are no mistakes. YOU KNOW THAT.
Go … FOLLOW the unfurling path as it opens up.
The true guardians of the ancient art watched as the true purpose of their craft became distorted by ego’s desire of material power … as they turned art to science … as they turned a fluid flow of spontaneity to a rigid practice of repetitive fixed formula.
Alchemy in its purest, basest form is about the exploration of relationship. It is about seeing the harmony and rhythm of all life and experiencing the subtle notes and flavours which blend together to create the whole. There is much to explore in this way. But as soon as you try to separate the elements of the whole – to remove them and place them in glass bottles, you lose the fullness of the notes. It becomes something else altogether. It loses its truth. It ceases to be pure and real and becomes a chemical synthesis – synthetic.
There is an abundance of life and movement in every nanometer of this Universe. Sights, sounds, scents [flavours, colour] … to astound. The only way to experience it fully and truly is by becoming aware of it.
Trying to extract pieces of it and mixing it with other pieces will not show you the truth. It will merely take you further from it. It will take you from the richness and show you a fragmented view of a reality far removed from that you sought to experience.
]]>At the risk of sounding as if I’m repeating myself. I’ll tell you the same thing for the chakras as I do for anything else. Trust yourself. Ask to be shown that which you need to see. Explore the chakras yourself and find your own answers. What you find in this exploration may be entirely different than what any other person will find. We are each so unique. We eat different foods and wear different colours and have different traditions. What nourishes one soul may be act in an opposite way for someone else. What draws one spirit may repel another.
So in this same vein, just because a stone is red, doesn’t mean it must be a root chakra stone and just because a stone is blue doesn’t mean it can’t be a heart chakra stone. Go within and discover the answers for yourself. The stone beings are wonderful sources of support in both guiding such a journey and supporting you in trusting yourself. Choose your chakra stones in the same way you choose any stone. See which one sings for you. Which one are you most attracted to. It doesn’t have to make sense. It just has to make you happy.
]]>There is a magnitude of information on the metaphysical properties of the Quartz Crystals. There seem to be as many types of Quartz Crystals as there are other types of crystals (like rubies, emeralds, sapphires, topaz, tourmaline). It was at first my intent to list all the types of crystals and their metaphysical properties here for you to have easy access to. But then I realized that I could use this space to give you something far more valuable. I could show you how to discover these qualities for yourself. In doing so you could unlock the many other hidden secrets of the stone beings that are not written about in any of the Crystal Books.
I invite you to discover something that you will not find in anywhere else. Come see for yourself how to listen to the Stone Beings. In listening to their song, you will learn to listen to yourself … and that is the greatest gift that they offer.
I first encountered these wonderful Quartz crystals from a lovely retail seller and I was instantly drawn to them. I got 2 for myself, one of which was a Dow. It was icy clear - almost silvery in nature - with titanium gas clouds in the cap. This crystal has a smoothness to it, beyond the physical - this silkiness seems to continue within. Holding this crystal, I felt supported. Like I always have been and always will be supported, even though this physical reality carries the illusion of separateness. It connected me to the part of myself that knows the truth of oneness and allows me to experience true love.
I loved these crystals so much that I wanted to share them. I searched, and searched but I could not find more. I recently came across some quite by accident. I had ordered some wonderful Quartz crystals and mixed in with the group were a small selection of Titanium Gas Phantom Dows! I immediately contacted my supplier and asked if there were more and, here they are - and many if not most are Dows! I have not noticed any "sigils" on this group of crystals yet (see description). I'm so excited to be able to offer these to you.
These crystals are extremely rare and the only information I have on them is that which I received from the person who first introduced me to this incredible crystal:
I'm told that his extremely rare formation of the newly discovered silky Titanium crystals can be found in only location in the world - Arkansas. The veins the crystals are found in also contain Titanium ore and are rather small. There was thought to be only one mine located in the ancient Ouachita mountains in Arkansas, and that mine was said to have been closed - but it seems there may be other mines.
The Titanium gives the Quartz a wonderful soft, silky feel and a foggy appearance on every other side of the crystal and usually on the tips or edges of the faces. The Titanium crystals emanate and express the entire spectrum of light vibrations. They attune their keeper to this universal Spectrum frequency. This allows him/her to radiate and express the entire spectrum of light rays to everyone the keeper comes in contact with. These incredible Titanium crystals are here as our Ancient Teachers. It is believed that these crystals were formed through thought projection by the Star beings that taught our Ancient Ancestors. They are here to prepare humans for the leap in Vibratory Evolution that is set to occur on our planet very soon.
Many people are hearing the call to accelerate their learning and help others to reach their highest good. Many healers are being attracted to this mineral, as it aligns them with the highest frequency of the universe and prepares them for the evolutionary leap, teaching them new/ancient healing techniques, so that they may in turn help others recall the state of perfection that was meant for humans to exist within. These crystals are going out to the serious light workers on our planet. I believe that when each person that is meant to be taught by these crystalline beings have one, the vein will "play out", it will be empty. The energy from these crystals is like no other and very difficult for human words to describe, for me ... they emanate the closest feeling that I can imagine Divine Love would feel like.
The amazing "Gas Phantoms" are recognized by the smooth wisp inside the crystal and under the faces, unlike veils, they are not bits and pieces of white inclusions, these appear more like smooth smoke inside the crystal. The Titanium Gas Phantoms are remarkable energy emitting inclusions that surrounds and fills the keepers auric energy field with brilliant White Light particles. These particles purify and strengthen the energy of the user, immediately activating, balancing and cleansing all the energy wheels (chakras) within the body. The Energy the keeper is able to transmit/transfer to another person or object is intensely amplified. This is perfect for healers and energy workers, and replenishes their own energy supply as they draw and send energy through their bodies.
The "Sigil" crystal is recognized by the strange raised and inverted etching on the face of the crystal, these etchings are called "Sacred Sigils". The simplest definition of a sigil is a drawing that is meant to represent an idea. For example, if you saw this symbol "%", in your mind you would say the word, "percent", even if it had no words on it. If you saw this symbol "$" ... you would think of money. That's basically what a sigil is. The Sigil crystals have a story to tell us about accessing our personal power, and as we read the message within the Sigil markings, we are empowered with the vibration of that "Sigil". To de-code your Sigil crystal ... first break the etching down into basic geometric shapes, are there squares, triangles, circles, lightening bolts, or mountain ranges etched onto the face of your crystal? This will tell you where and with what force of energy your Sigil crystal was empowered ... the sequence of simple geometric forms, repeated over the face of the crystal, is part of the "Great Flame of Life". This "flame of Life" takes the form of a sacred spiral vortex within the Sigil crystal... If your Sigil is composed of different geometric shapes, you would first select one, like the Square, which represents the Earth, then the Triangle, which represents the "Divine energy from above", then the lightning bolt, which represents the powerful energy sent from above to the Earth. With this "Sigil" you are empowered with the energy of heaven and earth and may find your personal energy is equally strong when drawn from the celestial Sky, the Earth or the energy of natures Storms. If there is only one shape such as a Mountain range on your Sigil crystal, this stone was programmed with the energy of an ancient mountain range and you will find you and your "Sigil" crystal are most energetic and strong when you are walking or meditating in the Mountains. Most people are subconsciously drawn to the Sigil crystal that works with their natural energies.
These are powerful crystals being manifested at this time on our planet. They are to be used with wisdom and compassion to bring healing to the earth and her inhabitants. The keepers of these special crystals are entrusted with a great responsibility, their cosmic awareness and personal energy levels are amplified, awakening healing energies within them they may or may not have previously been aware of, or to what degree they possessed this energy.

You are welcome to look at the article that I wrote in addressing the controversy surrounding these crystals and the song that they shared.
]]>It has been brought to my attention that what I’ve been describing as Titanium Gas Phantom Crystals do not actually contain Titanium Gas inclusions. I believe it is important both to myself and to my customers to present all the information I have available on the crystals and stones that I offer, as accurately and as truthfully as possible. Since I don’t believe there are coincidences, it must be important that it has come to my attention and that it has been brought forth at this time. I focused SOME of my time and energy to find out about these very special and controversial crystals.
The sharing of this information came in parts, so I am presenting it in that way. I’m laying it out in a compacted form of how it unfolded so you can have the experience of the process.
One of my suppliers of these “Titanium Gas Phantom Quartz Crystals” had originally sent me a Geological Analysis which does show Titanium inclusions in the Crystals. I am happy to copy and fax this to anyone who is interested. I will try to verify the accuracy of this analysis, but as you will begin to see, this research is no small undertaking. I am including this information because, as you will discover, while it seems unlikely that the gas inclusions are from Titanium Gas, it is certainly possible and it seems probable to me, that there is Titanium present in the crystals from the “rutile” sprays.
I began with my supplier. Here’s what he said:
“Re the Ti gas. I don’t think its gas, never did. Someone else named it that. Rutile is a titanium Dioxide mineral, and I think that the white sprays are closely related to rutile, which can come in many forms and colors. I don’t think that it was titanium gas that created the inclusions, and I don’t see phantoms in this material. I din’t name it. That’s all I can tell you about what I know and think about it. Hope that helps!”
I contacted the person who brought this to my attention. Here is what I said in my message:
“Hi **,
Thanks for getting in touch. To be honest, I do not know the scientific causes for these incredible and unique phantoms/inner inclusions.
From what I’ve been able to find out, it is gas inclusions (though it may not be Titanium gas) that cause the cloudiness in milky quartz. But these crystals are different than typical Cloudy/milky Quartz. They are more like Girasol or Opalized Quartz, which if I got the right information is caused by aluminum inclusions.
The issue I have to face is that there are so many people with so many different opinions as to what inclusions cause what phenomenon. And sometimes “science” does not know. And sometimes there is even disagreement among different scientists.
From my perspective, it doesn’t matter what causes the inclusions. I value each crystal for it’s unique characteristic, despite it’s geological analysis. But I do like to be as accurate as possible in my descriptions. So I will definitely look into this and amend my listing accordingly.
May I ask where you got your information and what your experience is, so that I can be as detailed as possible in my research. If you have a scientific background, I’d love to speak to you more about this … like I said, I want to be as accurate and honest in my listings as possible.
I appreciate you bringing this to my attention.
All good things,
Smadar”
I did not receive a reply to my letter.
In researching the cause of this crystal’s inclusions, I found an ebay guide posted on ebay which speaks about the Titanium Gas Phantoms as being “bogus”. I’m not sure what that means. The guide states that: “Anyone who understands physics knows that Titanium Cannot Be Turned Into A Gas”. Well I don’t have a strong knowledge of physics, so I was curious to discover more. I tried to contact the writer of the guide to find out where the information came from and to learn more. I did not receive a response.
This guide accuses a miner of giving a fancy name to the crystal to raise prices. It seems that people in this industry – as well as many other commercial industries – give more memorable and “marketable” names often. The scientific names are not always “pretty” or easy to remember. Not every one knows that Ruby and Sapphires are both Corundum (“scientific” name) of a different color. Not all Labradorite comes from Labrador. Is this an attempt to deceive? The names of stones do not always fully hold their true nature – chemical or otherwise. If we’re going to fault someone for being creative with the name, it’s going to be a long list. In fact, the writer of this same guide does the VERY SAME THING and in the SAME GUIDE with a crystal they sell. Don’t get me wrong … I think it’s wonderful. I choose to believe that the writer of the guide is coming to this with the best of intentions in a passionate attempt to protect the consumer. I trust that if he sees this, he’ll share a chuckle with me.
The guide also stated that a well known and trusted Geologist tested the crystals and found no traces of Titanium, and that this information can easily be found on the internet. I would be interested in knowing which Geologist tested the crystal and at seeing the test results. I have not found anything confirming this on any internet search.
The Guide compared these Titanium Gas Phantom crystals to white Quartz, and that the “white” color is caused by tiny gas bubbles. I understand that the milkiness in Quartz comes from gas and/or fluid inclusions trapped during the crystal formation. I think that is pretty special in and of itself, even though it is a very common type of inclusion and is found in Quartz Crystals all over the world. But these specific “Ti Gas” crystals – I’ll continue to call them that so we are clear on what we are speaking of – can only be found in one place in Arkansas – so far. They are also quite different in physical appearance than typical Milky Quartz crystals. You do not need to be a geologist to see the very obvious difference in these crystals. The milkiness in the Titanium Gas Phantom crystals is more of a bluish opalescent haze rather than an opaque/semi-translucent whiteness like the “typical” milky Quartz. Pictures can’t always capture the uniqueness of these crystals, but in person, they are unmistakable.
I have no “scientific” training. I can only say what I know. I find them to be quite different in appearance than any other Quartz crystal I’ve seen and they are just as unique in their energetic presence. I have no formal geological training and no evidence either way, but I would think that if they have the same mineral content as any other Quartz crystal, which this guide states in no uncertain terms, then they would look the same as any other Quartz crystal. I’ve spent much time looking at them under magnification. I have found visible solid and gaseous inclusions, and their appearance is different than other natural Quartz crystals I’ve seen. Though I hesitate to be so general, because each and every crystal, Quartz or otherwise is unique. But whether or not they have the same “physical-geological” make up as any other Quartz crystals, there is something very special about these crystals that is indefinable by scientific measure.
I got in touch with a Mineralogy expert at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto and had several discussions with him about what the inclusions are. I sent him some samples so he could see them first hand.
Here are some of his comments on the inclusions:
“Feathery and wispy certainly could be rutile needles or another titanium bearing mineral … Very fine needles of rutile (TiO2) are a fairly common inclusion which would account for the Ti in the analysis … Rutile is an oxide of Titanium with a melting point of 1830 C much closer to the range of the quartz. The rutile would crystallize first and then would be taken up by the crystallizing quartz … Melting point of Quartz 1610 C Boiling Point of Titanium is 3287 C … I still think rutile is a better bet … I would think that rutile needles are the most likely source of the Titanium in your analysis (or another titanium mineral like anatase or brookite (all Ti oxides) and likely are the cause of the wispy inclusions … If it is rutile then it will be in the solid form as fine fibres.
I can’t comment on the gas bubbles other than to say fluid & gas inclusions certainly could induce a milkiness to crystals … If there are “gas bubbles” then they can have solid gas and/or liquid phases in the same bubble but are likely so small you won’t be able to see them … The swirls whether gaseous or fibres would just be the result of the conditions present in the system during crystallization … The gas or liquid inclusions contain what was in the system that the Quartz was crystallizing from … It takes a specialist in fluid inclusion studies to be able to analyze these remnants. I really can’t hazard a guess as to what they may contain … Ti in a gaseous form is highly unlikely.
Remember too that these are ideal values. There are a lot of factors in nature that can change these values.”
It is interesting that even after seeing samples of the crystals, this museum expert was not able to tell me what it was or was not that was causing the inclusions. There is much to consider and the answers are often not clear. Different people come to different conclusions based on their own experiences. Some don’t know and say they don’t know …
I sent a question to Barbara Smigel, PhD, GG. She offers an internet course on Gemology from a Scientific viewpoint and I thought she might be able to shed some light on this issue. Here’s an excerpt from her reply:
“Inclusions can be pre-existing and engulfed by a developing crystal, or they can form within as it crystalizes — in some cases they can even form afterward due to pressure or heat applied to the finished crystal. I am not expert enough in gemstone inclusions to help you in more than the most general way.”
She offers some wonderful information on her site and is easily found on the internet (I’m not allowed to include links – or I would do so).
During my work with these crystals, long before this controversy about the nature of their inclusions was brought to my attention, I discovered something fascinating. One of the Titanium Gas Phantom Quartz Crystals held a vortex like inclusion. Interestingly, I was watching a Naked Science episode called “Exploring what a Comet is and the Secrets they Hold”. I noticed something connected to the Ti Gas Crystals in this episode. The scientists were re-creating a miniature lab sized comet and the mini comet had what they called gas eruptions – which look exactly like the vortex shaped inclusions in the Ti Gas Phantoms. During my research I began to study more and more of the crystals and I discovered other crystals with the vortex inclusions.
Part of what I do in my work with the stone beings is listen to them. These crystals shared a beautiful song and something interesting came through in that song. I will be publishing the whole Titanium Gas Phantom Crystal song somewhere, at some point. You are free to get in touch and ask me about it. Now though this comes from an “unscientific” place, it does hold a physical, scientific message. What came through was that learning about dry ice would help to shed some light on the nature of these crystals. So I looked up Dry Ice on the internet and I found something interesting.
I discovered that water freezes at 32 degrees F (0 degrees C) and boils at 212 degrees F (100 degrees C). However, as you change the pressure, these numbers also change. The lower the pressure, the lower the boiling point becomes. If you lower the pressure enough, water will boil at room temperature.
If such changes in the waters behaviour can be caused by changes in pressure, I wonder after all if it is indeed possible that the gas inclusions were caused by Titanium. Perhaps because I was not trained “scientifically” I am more open to any possibility. Or perhaps their name comes from the combination of the Titanium inclusions in the Rutile sprays (if that’s what they are) AND the Gas inclusions – rather than their being one and the same. After all the research I’ve done, I see that it is not so simple a matter to conclude.
No matter what the cause of the inclusions or the name given to the Stone, it doesn’t change its attraction. Whether it has some fancy name or a common one; whether it grows all over the world, or can be found in only one location, whether it is physically considered “more beautiful” or not… it does not change what it is. No amount of description or “scientific fact” can take away from its uniqueness of being.
Today, as I stood outside on a rainy winter day, the mist focusing my view on what was before me, I thought of these crystals. They arrived much like this unexpected rain in the middle of winter … the mist within their icy clarity serving the same purpose as the mist before me. I had come full circle. How fitting that this part of their song is completed today.
I will continue to share whatever else emerges about these fascinating crystals. In the meantime, what shall I call them? My sense is that their name has already been given them and it should remain just that. The purpose of that name may not yet be apparent, but it is still their name.
You are welcome to look at the metaphysical information on the Ti Gas Crystals that I have found as well as the song that they shared.
