CRYSTALS
are formed along energy lines found within the
natural forces of the earth itself. Even beyond the earth
within the natural forces of the cosmos itself. The stars
you see about the earth at night and the other planets also
radiates lines of force. These lines literally transverse
the earth itself and generates energy along the meridian of
these lines...It is along these lines that crystals are
formed in the natural state. So in essence they are the
energy of the cosmos itself.
Nature acts as a storehouse of energy. We have to learn to
tap this storehouse, if man were to know of the natural
abilities of crystals. There would not be any problems of
energy shortages. Crystals are energy in themselves, in
many different forms.
Crystals help with clairvoyance, generate energy, keep away
nightmares. If powdered it is good for swelling, heart
disease, eye disease, fever, intestinal problems. In Scotland
it is the stone of victory..

SAPPHIRE
SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION: Sapphire is a member of the Corundum
family, along with ruby. Both are basically aluminum oxide.
It's chemistry is Al2O3. All colors of Corundum are
considered to be "sapphire" unless they are red (Ruby.) It
ranges in color from pink, blue, green, violet, gray, yellow
and many shades in between. Black sapphire is colored by an
admixture of magnetite, hematite or spinel (emery). Corundum
is one of the hardest stones, rated at 9. The streak is
white.
ENVIRONMENT: The crystals are Hexagonal; sometimes tapering
prismatic; also pyramidal, tabular. It is often striated.
OCCURRENCE: Gem quality sapphire have been found at only a
few places in North America: at Yogo Gulch, Judith Basin Co.,
Montana, and at several places in North Carolina. Thailand,
Ceylon, and Burma are the principal sources.
NAME: Corundum is from [kuruntam], a Tamil word derived from
Sanskrit [kuruvinda,] meaning "ruby." (I have not been able
to locate a source for the word "sapphire".)
LEGEND and LORE: Sapphire has been associated with divine
favor. The Buddhists believed that the sapphire favored
devotion and spiritual enlightenment. It is the birthstone
for the month of September:
"A maiden born when autumn leaves
Are rustling in September's breeze.
A Sapphire on her brow should bind;
'Twill cure diseases of the mind. (5)
MAGICAL PROPERTIES: The ancient Greeks linked sapphire with
Apollo, and wore it as an aid to prophecy when consulting
oracles. For this reason, it is considered an aid for
developing the "third eye". It was also considered to be able
to guard its owner from being captured. It is worn and
utilized in rituals to strengthen the ability to tap and send
forth power.
HEALING: Sapphire has been use as an aide to healing ailments
of the eyes. It is also considered a booster for the immune
system, protecting the body in general from disease.
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE: I've only recently acquired two
sapphires. One of them is from Saudi Arabia, and is faceted.
The second one I bought on March 13, 1993, and is probably
from Thailand. As a result, I haven't really had a chance to
work with them, so I have no comments at the moment.
NOTES: Corundum is used as an abrasive. It is also used as
the "jewels" in watches with "jewel movements."

SELENITE
SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION: Selenite is the name given to
colorless, transparent Gypsum. It is a Hydrous calcium
sulfate with the chemistry of CaSO4.2H2O. The hardness is 1-
1/2 to 2.
ENVIRONMENT: Gypsum is a very common sulfate mineral.
Although it may be found in several rock types, it develops
principally in sedimentary rocks of chemical origin, where it
roms rock gypsum deposits in beds that may be 10m (30') in
thickness. It also occurs associated with dolomite and barite
in hydrothermal replacement deposits.
OCCURRENCE: At Lockport, Niagra Co., New York, beautiful
transparent crystals occur lining cavity walls in dolomite.
Large crystals have been found at South Was, Wayne Co., Utah.
Crystals up to 1.2 m (4') long have been found in the
Maravilla Mine, Naica, Chihuahua, Mexico.
NAME: The name comes from the Greek [selenites], meaning
"moon stone".
LEGEND and LORE: I was unable to find anything listed for
"ancient" uses of this version of Gypsum.
MAGICAL PROPERTIES: Cunningham states "...it is exchanged
between lovers for reconciliation."
HEALING: Stein mentions a case of using the stone, in a
"lump" form for increasing milk flow in a nursing mother.
Katrina Raphaell is the only other healer that I can
reference that uses Selenite. She refers to it as a healer
of the psyche, rather than of the physical dimension.
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE: Selenite can calm a confused mind.
Because of it is Gypsum, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it
for any calcium deficiency diseases or for healing broken
bones (although I haven't had an opportunity to try it on
bones yet.) My Selenite wand is relatively new, and I have
not yet fully explored it's potential.
NOTES: In the past, crystalline Selenite has been used to
make eyeglass lenses. Long Selenite "wands" can be found.
But caution is advised with this stone: because it is so soft
and has a high water content, it "bends" quite easily. Even
the heat from your hand, while holding it can cause it to
bend and curl.

STAR STONES
SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION: If a transparent or translucent
mineral contains numerous thin, hair-like fibers of another
mineral, light reflected from a polished surface displays a
fibrous sheen like satin or silk. This effect is called
[chatoyancy] and is responsible for the streaks of light in
catseye gems and star stones. Most commonly, the inclusions
in corundum (sapphire, ruby) are rutile. Other stones that
may display the star effect are garnet and tourmaline.
For the catseye effect, the fibers lay in parallel bundles.
When they are crystallized out parallel to the triagonal
crystal symmetry, (two or more such lines intersect in the
middle,) the appearance of a four-, six- or even twelve-rayed
star may appear. The star stones are referred to as
[asterias.] The twelve-rayed star is the most rare, and
therefore the most valuable.
In most cases, star stones are produced as cabochons (that
is, with a rounded top). It is important that these should be
cut so that the star is exactly in the middle of the round
stone.
Most star stones are a pale grey, but they can also be found
in the richest colors. Occasionally one of the three rays of
the star greatly predominates and stones are then cut as oval
cat's-eyes. Almandine Garnets, when they display a star are
referred to as [carbuncles].
LEGEND and LORE: In the East, star stones and cat's-eyes are
considered exceptionally lucky, especially in games of
chance. They have also been used for scrying.
MAGICAL PROPERTIES: In general, a stone displaying the star
type chatoyancy is considered to be magically strengthened. A
star in a sapphire increases the users ability to tap the
subconscious/higher mind. A star ruby is considered to
be a particularly potent protection against other forms of
magic.
HEALING: Star stones can be used in the same ways as the
stone, but with increased power/potency.
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE: I've only recently acquired a star ruby
(March 13, 1993), so I really haven't had time to work with
it. I have used star garnets. I use them to represent two
friends of mine who are astrologers, who also have problems
dealing with money. The star is for the astrology. The red
color is for the Root Chakra, Muldhara. This Chakra is the
base of survival. It is grounded in material reality, so it
is the center of manifestation.

STAUROLITE
SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION: Staurolite (also known as "Fairy
Cross") is a basic silicate of iron and aluminum, often with
some magnesium and zinc. The chemical formula is rather long,
Fe2Al9Si4O22(OH)2. It's hardness is on par with quartz,
ranging from 7 to 7-1/2. They are yellowish brown, reddish to
brownish black, weathering to grey and are somewhat dull in
appearance. The streak is white. They are collectors items
because twinned crystals often intergrow at nearly 90 degree
angles, forming a cross.
ENVIRONMENT: Staurolite occurs with albite, biotitie, and
sillimanite in gneiss and schist of regional metamorphic
rocks.
OCCURRENCE: In North America, twinned crystals are found at
Windham, Cumberland Co., Maine; at Sugar Hill, Franconia and
Lisbon, Grafton Co., New Hampshire; and in Fannin Co.,
Georgia. Particularly fine twinned crystals can also be found
near Pilar, Rio Arriba Co., New Mexico. They have also been
found at Pizzo Forno, Switzerland, France and Scotland.
NAME: The name comes from the Greek [stauros], meaning
'cross'.
LEGEND and LORE: Staurolite was considered to be a
representative of all four elements: Air, Fire, Earth and
Water. It was believed that a person who possessed this
talisman could cause the elements to do his/her bidding. In
addition, it was believed that the 90 degree cross
represented the crossing of the spiritual and physical
planes. After the arrival of Christianity, these stones were
popular with those who entered a crusade. Many people now
days carry them as a good luck charm.
MAGICAL PROPERTIES: Cunningham says "To gain control over the
elemental forces, wear a staurolite set in any electrum
fashioned as a ring or pendant."
HEALING: I've been unable to find ANY reference to this stone
used in healing. All references I've seen refer to it as
protective, or lucky, or elemental.
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE: I do not currently have one in my
collection.
NOTES: Transparent, single crystals of staurolite are
occasionally cut into faceted gems.

SUNSTONE
SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION: Sunstone is a member of the
Plagioclase Feldspar Group. This group is a series of
mixtures of sodium and calcium aluminum silicates. Sometimes
confused with Fire Opal, this stone has a fiery, multicolored
flash, mostly golden yellow and orange thru red-orange in
hue. Rather than the "flash" being "inside" the stone, as it
is with opal, it is more on the surface, resembling a
"red/orange/yellow labradorite." The average hardness is 6
and the streak is white.
ENVIRONMENT: The plagioclase feldspars are important rock-
forming minerals and are found in many kinds of igneous and
metamorphic rocks.
OCCURRENCE: The best material is from Tvedestrand, Norway. It
is found in small masses several inches across of a deep
reddish-orange color. Cut gems produce gleaming golden
reflections. Fair Sunstone has been found in Alan Wood Iron
Mine, Mine Hill, New Jersey and occasionally from Modoc
County California. Some material has also been found in
Oregon and Canada, although I suspect this is Orthoclase
material.
GEMSTONE INFORMATION: Many of the feldspars have
traditionally been cut into cabochons and polished because of
their "internal glow". Sunstone, although rather rare, has
been treated in this manner. More often, cut stones called
"sunstones" are a clear/yellow Orthoclase, rather than the
Plagioclase.
NAME: Sunstone derives it's name from it's appearance: Its
bright golden orange flash reminds us of the Sun's rays.
LEGEND and LORE: Sunstone was used by Magicians in the past,
to invoke the energies associated with the Sun. There is very
little data available on ancient usages. This is probably
because the stone is rare.
MAGICAL PROPERTIES: Cunningham suggests that this stone can
be used to enliven sexual energy.
HEALING: Again, there isn't much literature on healing uses,
either. Cunningham suggest placing a piece in with dried
healing herbs to strengthen their potency. He also suggest
that it will add physical strength and stamina when carried
or worn.
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE: I use Sunstone at the Solar Plexus to
pull in solar energy when a client feels "depleted". I also
associate it with Chi, or life force, and use it to balance
energy in the body. In addition, I've used it for working on
eye problems. More often, I will use Moonstone and Sunstone
together...sort of a Yin/Yang combination. This produces
powerful, balanced, magical energy.
NOTES: There are three different, distinct stones that you
may find under the description of "sunstone". One is actually
a red/orange/brown version of Adventurine. Another is a
clear/yellow crystal, which is actually a member of the
Orthoclase family. Each one has a different chemical
composition, different appearance and different
magical/healing energies. I agree with Cunningham, in
that I feel the one described here and in his book is the
"true" Sunstone.
