The Secret You Didn't Know About Andara...

Take A Walk With Moldavite

At midnight, the full moon streams down onto a flat-top boulder ready to serve as a natural altar. An owl calls in the distance. Then silence.

My focus fixes on the glass plate atop the altar. A stone shaped like a teardrop sits in its exact center. As I attune myself to unseen vibrations, I sense the stone bathing in its silver ray of moonlight.

By morning, by moonset, the stone’s aura is clean. The rising sun lights up the bottle-green gem. Moldavite...Read the rest on my new Medium blog.

I hope you will consider clapping for me and following me on Medium. I'm *very* new there, and your encouragement means the world. Writing on Medium will, I think, give me a chance to reach a bigger readership which will, in turn, allow me to write for you more often on our favorite Crystal Magick topics.

Botswana Agate, A Protective Influence

Agates were highly prized by the ancients. Too often, the modern human looks at a stone and decides its value on the basis of its price. Agate? Bah. They'd rather have a diamond. Yet, it is often the inexpensive agate that's more useful in a magickal working.

When you cut a raw Botswana Agate, you may find an "eye" inside-- an emblem of protection against evil. We have also found Amethyst inside, a crystal highly regarded for its power to improve your insight and your ability to divine the future. When we think of prosperity stones, we often think about stones that draw money like a magnet, with Lodestone being the classic example. However, we should also think about the stones that protect and defend us from problems, big and small, that would otherwise drain our bank account. Botswana Agate is a good stone to have in your pocket when you need a protector.

Here are some stones cut for the Peachfront Press collection:

Bloodstone, Raw and Uncut

I recently found this photograph of some uncut Bloodstone from India that I sold a few years back, and I thought Crystal Cash readers might get a kick out of it. This friendly, supportive material takes a good polish, and I trust it was turned into some beautiful items. ICYMI, my photographs of polished Bloodstone pieces can still be found online.

Know Your Prosperity Stones #12: The Mystery of Moldavite

This bottle-green gem is a controversial and yet potentially invaluable stone used to open your heart chakra. It can bring up some powerful emotions, and it's entirely up to you whether you feel comfortable using it. Genuine Moldavite is a natural glass that may have been formed when a meteor struck the earth roughly 14.3 to 14.5 million years ago, leaving behind a huge impact crater called Nördlinger Ries in modern-day western Bavaria, Germany.

Humans make glass from melting and fusing sand, and apparently meteors do it the same way. Scientists believe Moldavite was formed when the Nördlinger Ries meteor slammed into the earth, striking a layer of sand with such force the sand was blasted high into the atmosphere, instantly melting and then fusing into raindrop-shaped stones as it fell back to earth. The formation of this natural glass must have been a dramatic event indeed, since Moldavites have been found up to 280 miles away from the original impact crater.

Genuine Moldavite is glass, but the name Moldavite should only be used for the natural bottle-green tektites (as this kind of natural glass is called) that formed as result of the Nördlinger Ries impact. Alas, there seems to be more Moldavite on the market than could have possibly rained down during the meteor storm in question. In recent years, I've heard numerous accusations that people are creating fake Moldavite by pouring modern green glass of the right color into molds. Unfortunately, that's probably pretty easy to do, since there's nothing easier for humans to make than green glass. Just ask the fine folks at the Coca-Cola company.

If you feel uncertain about this stone or your sources, you may want to pass on this one. However, the stone is not terribly rare, so it's certainly possible for you to find some Moldavite from a trusted source. Assuming you already own this stone, you may be wondering how it could help you grow your wealth.

Think about it like this. Many, if not most, people in the New Age ask this stone to remove secret hurts in their hearts that might be holding them back. If you feel like you keep getting in your own way, if an emotional or psychological block is causing you to sabotage your own success, wearing this stone at the level of your heart might help you figure out why you're doing that and how to stop.
But be warned.

Wear it in a quiet, peaceful, private place the first time, because you may become aware of some powerful emotional pain in your heart. You may have been blocking your own heart chakra in order to avoid that pain, and now that you can't avoid it any more, you may cry a little before it all flows out.

Know Your Prosperity Stones # 11: Chevron Amethyst

Chevron Amethyst is an inexpensive, easily tumble-polished stone that is sometimes called Banded Amethyst for the pattern of white and purple chevron (V-shaped or shield-shaped) stripes. Over the years I've swapped or sold hundreds of pounds of it, although I've held back a small amount for my personal use.

The photograph shows a large, uncut Chevron Amethyst "tooth" as well as a number of polished stones we recently pulled out of the tumbler at Peachfront Press.

Amethyst isn't always the first stone that comes to mind these days when we talk about prosperity workings, and I have to ask why. In days of old, purple was the royal color, and Amethyst was a stone associated with kings. I've heard a theory that the large Amethyst finds in South America during the Age of Exploration caused the perceived value of the stone to fall in price, especially compared to ancient times when it was considered to be a precious gem. Now, like other Quartz stones, it is truly one of the most affordable and accessible gems.

And Chevron Amethyst can be the most affordable version of all, since it frequently appears as a small tumbled stone in rock shops where it is often sold for a dollar or two. It's a friendly stone with an accessible vibe, available to all and not in the least bit snobby despite Amethyst's ancient association with royalty.

Can it open the third eye and help you gain insight into real-world financial situations? Well, yes and no. It isn't going to take over the job of balancing the checkbook or reviewing your accountant's spreadsheets. But I believe if you keep it near, perhaps as a pocket stone, you may quietly gain a new clarity of thought. Try it and see. The price is certainly right.

A Mystery Agate in Peach and Purple

We've been diving deep over the last few months at Peachfront Press, and we'll soon have exciting news about the upcoming book, as well as supporting audio meditations. When you experiment with crystal magick, you can't take any shortcuts. There's a lot of working the stones to see what results you get-- a lot of tinkering and adjustments, a lot of trial and error.

Here's an interesting batch of peach and purple Agates from an unknown source that we recently pulled out of the tumbler. The peachy / orange color combined with purple speaks to me in mysterious ways, but I'm not sure yet what the message is. Feel free to drop me a line if you have any suggestions.

The oddly harmonious blend of peachy orange and lavender seems to stimulate the imagination... but to what purpose? Only time and testing will tell.

SIngle Terminated vs. Double Terminated Quartz


Here are two super clear Arkansas Quartz all-natural, uncut crystals that I collected many years ago. If you're a beginner to crystals, you can see at a glance what the difference is between single-terminated and double-terminated crystals. The double-terminated crystal at the top of the photo grew a natural point on BOTH ends, instead of just on ONE end.

Welcome if you came to this page by reading my book, Crystal Cash Chakra Magick: The Rainbow Path to Prosperity. If you haven't read it yet, by all means check it out.

In Search of Brilliant Ideas for Sodalite Stone Tiles



What would you do with these Sodalite tiles? I'm open to ideas.

I'm also collecting a rather large number of earth-tone stone tiles. At one point, we made a stone mosaic birdbath, and the birds just love it. Indeed, the Cardinals use it every day, perhaps because we used a lot of red jasper and bloodstone in the mix, and they feel like the red color is calling to them. This birdbath has stood up well to the weather over the years so I don't need a new one yet.

Ideas?

Crown Chakra Stones: Touching Spirit

The stones of the rainbow chakra take us on a logical path from the material world of the earth and root chakra through the more emotional region of the heart and throat and upward toward the higher spirit. Working with the crown chakra isn't really about connecting with material riches, and many extremely spiritual people are-- let's be real here-- absolutely terrible with money. If a prosperity worker prefers to focus on the lower chakra stones in an effort to attract more wealth, I wouldn't say that she was wrong. However, I personally feel it's important to get out of our own heads from time to time. If you're just thinking money, money, money, I need to get money 24/7, the game of chasing prosperity becomes a grind and a drudgery. Keep it light, keep it a game. Don't let money eat your head, or what's it all for?

So what do we get from meditating with the crown chakra and-- even more so-- from the astral or overhead chakra? Perspective, that's what. We can step out of our own little concerns and experience the big picture. The feeling of mystical unity with the universe may be hard to describe. And it isn't something you're going to be able to turn around and cash in like a lottery ticket. But it's an experience that cleans the psychic dirt out of your pores and lets you remember the beauty of this world.

It's even less practical to wear a stone on the crown chakra than it is on the third eye chakra. When you're meditating on a yoga mat, flat on your back, you can place a crystal above your crown and another about a foot above that. However, for the most part, you won't be wearing the crystal in contact with the physical chakra. And that's fine. This chakra isn't about the physical. It speaks through spirit.

For the crown chakra, I often choose a very pale violet stone like the Amethyst crystal points from Vera Cruz, Mexico. A lot of people do go with a deeper purple like Sujilite, though.

For the overhead chakra, I'm a huge fan of the most mysterious and "spiritual" of the clear Quartz crystals-- double-terminated crystals, elestials, Herkimer diamonds, optical Quartz from Brazil or Arkansas cut into spheres or points or even wands. For some people, the rock crystal skulls do the job, and you can often find reproductions of the original crystal skull floating around for sale. It isn't practical to wear many of these items, but they truly spark the imagination when you keep them around the house as part of your metaphysical mineral collection.

I have now published a complete book containing my thoughts on working with the chakras using crystals to enhance your prosperity. You are free to read this blog online but if you'd like my thoughts all in one convenient place, you can buy the ebook here:

Third Eye Chakra Stones: See the Truth

How much money would you have saved if you could see the future? We've all made stupid purchases. Most of us have made bad investments. Even rich people with a flock of advisers around them end up falling for the Enrons or the Bernie Madoffs out there. You can work all the prosperity magick and draw all the cash flow in the world, but if you've got a leaky bucket that lets the money flow right back out into the gutter again... you've got a problem.

We work with the third eye chakra-- that spot in the middle of your forehead between and somewhat above your physical eyes-- to gain insight into what's happening around us and, often, into what might be happening in the future. You can get into endless debates about whether or not we have free will or whether our lives are determined by fate. I tend to think that there is little purpose to magick if you can't influence your fate. We want to clear the third eye and see into the future so we can change the things we don't like.


It's fairly impractical to wear a stone on the third eye for any length of time, and maybe that's as it should be. Most of the time, we need to focus on the now. However, when you need a look ahead, try meditating on a yoga mat flat on your back with an amethyst point or a flourite cube resting on your third eye for the duration of the meditation. The rest of the time, I don't actually have the third eye stone in physical contact with my third eye. Instead, I keep a small tumbled Amethyst or crystal point Amethyst in my pocket or medicine bag, while I will place a larger Amethyst sphere (a so-called "crystal" ball) near my divination tools like my Tarot cards.

As you can probably tell, I'm all about the Amethyst for working with this chakra. But there are many others you can use.

For example: Another stone I have on my desk to influence me every day is a large first-sized purple flourite crystal. Many magickal workers feel this is a quite intellectual stone, and it encourages me to make better decisions based on information I already have. Most of the time, when we're presented with some incredible investment "opportunity," we do have enough information to know it's a scam. Not all of the time. I honestly don't know how the Madoff victims could have been expected to know, since he had such sterling credentials. But, most of the time, if something sounds too good to be true, we know what we should do. Get calm, get away from the emotions and into the intellect, and ask yourself sincerely if the potential pain of financial loss is worth the potential gain. Meditating with a somewhat "intellectual" stone like Flourite can be a great way to do that.

Throat Chakra Stones: Speak Your Truth

We all tend to wear stones quite frequently at the level of our throat chakras. The shorter necklaces often have pendants that fall at this level, and the true chokers unavoidably hug the throat. We're probably going to be wearing pendants on a neck chain anyway, so why not choose stones that support our prosperity magick?

Under the New Age rainbow chakra system, the throat responds to the frequency of pure blue light, giving us the power to communicate clearly and effectively. Being able to speak your truth and be heard is a key skill for any prosperity seeker. The ability to communicate is life or death for anybody in sales-- and these days who among us doesn't have to sell others on our knowledge and skills at least sometimes?

Of course, for the past few centuries, we often "speak" through our writing. That's fine. Many workers have reported that using celestite (a pale blue crystal) really helps the words flow out when they're writing. I have a celestite crystal cluster on my desk to support my writing, and I'm absolutely convinced that it works for me. Why not give it a try? Flourite is another classic stone for this purpose. I have a Flourite slab in shades of teal blue but you'll also find this particular crystal in several other colors, most notably purple and yellow.

There are so many classic blue stones that it's impossible to discuss them all in a single article but I'll mention a few that you may already have in your jewelry box-- turquoise, blue topaz, aquamarine, lapis lazuli, or even blue sapphire. (The blue topaz is likely to be treated to deepen the color, and the blue sapphire may be a lab-created stone.) A stone I often wear at the throat is called azurite-malachite, a relative of turquoise that is both deep blue (the azurite) and green (the malachite). I happen to wear it set in silver on a shorter chain to hold the stone at my throat, but with those colors, it does blend the powers of the heart and the throat chakra. Sometimes, when we try to communicate on a deep level, emotion may come up from the heart to fuel our words. Whether that is for good or for ill depends a lot on how well you channel your energies-- and your words. Speak with power, and you could change your world.

Mother Nature loves the color blue, and there are also some extremely common, inexpensive blue stones that you can choose. Blue lace, amazonite, and sodalite can often be found sold as small tumbled stones for as little as $1. If nothing else, you can always slip one of these stones into your pocket when you're working to improve your communication skills and to open your throat chakra so you can speak clearly.

Green and Pink: Stones of the Heart Chakra



I've talked a lot about how to use Green Aventurine, Moss Agate, and Emeralds in Crystal Cash: Fast Easy Money Magick Using Popular Stones, since they're truly some of the classic crystals of prosperity working. However, in any discussion of the heart chakra, we become aware that there are many, many other stones that people have used to open their hearts to receive love from the universe. If you truly feel loved and cared for, you may be far more open to receiving material evidence of that love.

Rose Quartz, Watermelon Tourmaline, and Pink Tourmaline are so powerful that I plan to eventually devote a post to each of them. For now, let's take a quick look at some of the stones in the photo that you might not have tried before to support your heart chakra-- and maybe bring a little more growth and prosperity into your life.

The sphere is an interesting item owned by Peachfront Press and originally hand-crafted by spheremaker Jim Meeker. Unakite is a pink and green granite, so it combines the classic colors of the heart chakra (which are the classic colors of spring) with the down-to-earth stability of ancient granite. You'll get some debate about how different people use this stone metaphysically. But, for me, I think it's a good one to focus on bringing the love down to earth, where we can feel and bask in it. You can often find pocket tumbles of this material for $1. It's a nice one to carry and let it work on your aura while you're not even thinking about it.

Watermelon Ruby is a stone I've touched on before, both in this blog and in Crystal Cash. In short, it's a natural Ruby crystal (not usually gem grade) growing in a softer green material. I like to wear it on a lace or a chain just long enough to let it fall to my heart.

Ah, and the Moldavite. There's a controversial stone for you. The piece in the photo was purchased and bought around 1990 as an unworked teardrop of this natural stone. In recent years, there has been a scandal, with numerous accusations that people are creating fake Moldavite by pouring modern green glass of the right color into molds. Unfortunately, that's probably pretty easy to do, since Moldavite is NOT a crystal but instead a natural glass that formed from volcanic lava. You may want to be very choosy about where you buy your Moldavite, since it can be fairly pricey. I do have a few tiny pieces left, which I may feature in some upcoming giveaways.

As for its purpose... well, I was always told that it could remove secret hurts in your heart that might be holding you back. Sometimes people get very emotional the first time they wear a Moldavite. If you feel like you keep getting in your own way, you may want to experiment with this one. But be warned. I was told that you should wear it in a quiet, peaceful, private place the first time. Later on, after it has spoken to you, and you're really just wearing it for pretty, then you don't have to be so cautious. But in the beginning, if you think you might be digging into some deep emotional blocks, you may want to use caution. I don't remember digging up any great dragons from the depths when I experimented, but it's still just as well to take care. If nothing else, you may gain some interesting insight into why you do certain things that block your own path to greater riches.
