Minerals
For the purpose of this website, I’m going to use the word “mineral” to refer to anything pure element minerals such as gemstones or salts to aggregates of minerals such as sedimentary or composite rocks. The vast majority of the rocks of the Earth's crust consist of quartz, feldspar, mica, chlorite, kaolin, calcite, epidote, olivine, augite, hornblende, magnetite, hematite, limonite and a few other minerals. With about 60% of the earth’s crust being composed of silicon dioxide or quartz, the variations in the minerals pertain to the “impurities” also present in the composition. It’s something to think about, “Imperfections makes the world beautiful and diverse.”
Similar to all animals, plants, and humans, minerals are filled with energy that vibrates at their own frequency depending on the type of mineral. Minerals generally have more of a subtle energy, so they can be slightly more difficult to detect.
Why do minerals vibrate?
Each mineral has a specific crystalline structure which is also evident in the crystal shape it takes on during formation. For instance calcite, pyrite and salt generally have a square to rectangle structure when found in crystal form, and quartz generally has a terminated or double-terminated form. This crystalline structure is based upon the chemical composition and structure of the molecules present when the mineral was forming into a crystal. The chemical composition is what gives the mineral its physical and metaphysical properties. The crystalline form, along with chemical composition and the universes life energy, give the mineral a vibrational pattern that is unique to each mineral and occasionally the shape/form of the mineral.When a mineral is made into jewelry, carried on the person, or laid on a person’s chakras, the vibrational pattern of the mineral will be assimilated by the person using it. The properties of the vibrational pattern will be transferred to the user to help bring about healing, awareness, or new energy.
Here are some tricks for picking up the subtle energy of minerals:
First try a wide variety of minerals. Everyone will react differently to the vibrational patterns of different minerals. Its important go through the same sequence of testing with each mineral encountered.
Second, everyone has a dominate and non-dominate hand. For instance, I’m right handed and whenever I grab for something, I always use my right hand. Therefore, my right hand is my dominate hand. The dominate hand is the “output” hand for energy flow. The non-dominate hand is the “input” hand for energy flow. Since minerals put out their own vibrational pattern, it’s important to try placing them in first the non-dominate hand and then the dominate hand. There will almost always be a difference in how a mineral feels depending on if it’s inputing its own energy, or the mineral vibration pattern is reacting to the output of your energy. If you can’t feel anything from the mineral in either hand, vigorously shake both hands for 60 seconds to get the blood and energy flowing, and try again.
Third, never take my word that one particular mineral is good for one particular chakra. I and several of my friends have tested each one of these minerals and have come to a common consensus about which mineral reacts to what chakra. However, since each person is different, it’s important to test each mineral yourself. While holding the mineral in the non-dominate hand, start at the crown chakra and hold the mineral to the charka and feel for a reaction. Keep going down the chakras until you find the chakra that the mineral reacts to. You’ll know it’s a reaction because the chakra will come alive with the presence of the stone.
