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.

Blue Lace Agate: The Calm in the Storm

Thought for the day: Sometimes we get so rushed doing the urgent that we don't get around to the important. It may not be an original thought, but it's a timely one. I mostly talk about prosperity stones, but everything is connected, and it's hard to feel prosperous when we feel hurried. Time is, after all, the greatest of all luxuries.

To support a calm environment and to gather scattered thoughts back under control, try placing the beautiful Blue Lace Agate on your desk or on your heart, throat, or "third eye" spot during your next crystal meditation session. Even the look of it is soothing.

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.

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:

Crystal Cash Chakra Magick: The Rainbow Path to Prosperity

Malachite is another favorite for the heart chakra. Here are a couple of specimens from the Peachfront Press collection:



Rose Quartz, a classic--

Green Aventurine Prosperity in 2016

The very first object I brought in my house this year was this five pound mega-whopper Green Aventurine. It's a classic specimen, a soft "money" green with lots of gold flash that comes from included mica crystals. But it's more than an oversized addition to the mineral collection. It's a magnet on the metaphysical level, meant to draw plenty of new money into my house.

Here's a question. Is it more important to release your hopes for the stone and sort of forget it's there and let it do its magick?

Or should you visit with the stone every day, maybe repeating a short affirmation of its purpose? "My green aventurine super-crystal is a true money magnet pulling ever more and more money into the home."

Hmm. Most of the time, I prefer to "set it and forget it." I feel like if I have to keep affirming, if I have to keep "reminding" the stone of what it's supposed to do, I'm demonstrating a lack of trust in the magickal process. I find, for me, it's important to get out of the way and just let the magick happen.

But different techniques work for different people. If you've been carrying aventurine as a pocket stone for awhile-- long enough to mostly forget it's there-- and you still haven't seen much change in your financial outlook, there's nothing wrong with purifying the stone and starting over with a new technique.

Know Your Prosperity Stones #9: Green Aventurine

Green Aventurine is a classic prosperity stone.  I say so much about it in my book, Crystal Cash: Fast Easy Money Magick Using Popular Stones, that it would be silly to repeat myself here.  In fact I like it so much that I featured it prominently on the cover.


The pebbles have endless uses as pocket and medicine bag stones, and I think that's by far the most traditional use of this prosperity stone -- at least in Louisiana.

I also love to make and use them as card protectors in gambling games like poker.  This is one stone that isn't afraid of the rough-and-tumble of the material world.

Know Your Prosperity Stones #8: River Pebbles

Pebbles from Lake Erie by Amethyst Qu

You can spend as little or as much as you want on the stones you use for prosperity magick.  In my book Crystal Cash: Fast Easy Money Magick Using Popular Stones I tried to exercise some awareness about where people are coming from.  If you're already dripping in diamonds, you probably aren't seeking out a magickal source of help to change your financial condition.

So I assume that most newbies to Crystal Magick are looking for inexpensive, fast-working stones they can easily find at a low cost.  

In my opinion, one of the most legitimate reasons for using magick is to even the score. We all know that some people are born with more.  You can work hard and study hard, but the rich person can work hard and study hard and not have to have a side job.  They have an advantage. Nobody has more than 24 hours in a day, but they have a nanny while we have a double-shift.  So sometimes we may feel a need to resort to magick because otherwise we're never going to catch up. 

And that's a perfectly fine use of magick.  It is not wrong to want your share of the beautiful things and experiences this life has to offer.  We are here to appreciate the beauty of this world. 

Using magick to play catch-up is an ancient use of these tools  -- and probably one of the reasons that the rich and powerful sometimes feared and hated the humble village magick worker.

But it isn't always easy.  

In fact it's hard -- very hard -- to get out of your own way to develop a prosperity mindset when you feel you're hopelessly behind.  And that's where the stones come in.

Ever try to sit down and meditate when you're crazy with worry?  Didn't work very well, did it?  You need something to focus on that's outside of yourself.

Stone magick can help you do that.  Stone magick is light and fun and not really considered all that scientific.  It's play.  No pressure.

And what's more "no pressure, no worries" than river pebbles?  The wonderful thing about pebbles found in a stream or river is that they cost nothing, it's fun just to drift along picking and choosing the ones you'll take, and they can fit easily into a pocket, change purse, or medicine bag.  

Some of you have probably seen the five pebble protection spell floating around Pinterest.  There's nothing to it.  Find five pebbles that call to you.  Put 'em in a bag.  Carry 'em in your pocket.  That's it.  And yet you may feel a powerful sense of protection around you.

What does protection have to do with prosperity?  A lot.  If you're anxious and tense, you may be closed to opportunities.  You may be fearful of trying new things.  You may be afraid to meet new people.  The whole world is out there for you, but you're getting in your own way.

To be honest, I don't think you even have to carry five pebbles.  I think it's fine to pick ONE pebble and put it in your pocket.  Pick a stone that feels particularly good against your fingers after being rounded over the ages by the force of water.  Carry it for awhile.  When you feel stressed, hold it or even fiddle with it like a classic worry stone.  I think you'll be pleased.
