When someone wants to buy crystals to use in crystal jewellery, especially when they wish to use rose quartz in something such as a ring or necklace, they should first make sure that the jewel they are interested in appeals to them.  For different cuts and styles of crystals and gemstones are offered for use in crystal jewellery. This is because different shapes and styles offer different aesthetic appeal to different people. Rose quartz in particular is offered in quite a large variety of styles and serves as a beautiful gem to display in crystal jewellery, whether as the focus stone or simply as an accent to a beautiful ring, pendant or broach. Crystal jewellery is something that can be
worn by people of all ages, especially if the crystal in question is rose quartz. This is an incredibly versatile gem that can be used in any kind of jewellery; ranging from a pair of small earrings or a dainty ring to the large centre stone for a dramatic and beautiful necklace. Rose quartz crystal comes in many different colours and shapes; which makes it one of the most appealing stones of all times.

People who spend some time researching their purchases before they decide to buy crystals oftentimes find themselves intrigued by the information that is given to them. For not only can they discover special properties that they may not have been aware of; but they will also discover interesting properties concerning their favourite colour as well. One example of this would be: if someone favours the colour grey above all others, they will discover that they enjoy a very sophisticated shade that also encompasses sorrow and mystery.  Crystals and colours play a very large part in everyone’s’ daily lives, even if they do not immediately realize the subtle changes that take place with
themselves immediately. Thus, it is a wise decision to become informed about the crystals in question before choosing to buy crystals.

You can deflect outside pressures by placing a dark crystal on either side of your front and back doors.  Each room in your house should have a crystals to harmonise the energies in that particular room.

The reason why it is not a good idea to use phraseology such as “asking the pendulum” or “the pendulum say” is because the pendulum knows nothing as it is an inanimate object and it is just an extension of the dowser’s nervous system.

My understanding of the phrase The pendulum is operated by the dowser, the dowser is not operated by the pendulum is:

That the pendulum does not know anything which means a question to the pendulum like “can I cleanse you now” is not a good question because everything is a matter of choice, it is you that choose to cleanse the pendulum, just like it is your own choice not to allow anyone to touch the pendulum but you.  You have to take the responsibility whether or not to let anyone touch the crystal, if you don’t then you are clearly missing the point.

Our mind operates the pendulum through our nervous system.  We may get a feeling that we should not allow anyone to use the pendulum or, it could be that for whatever reasons we do not like anyone else using your pendulum, but it is a choice that you make yourself.  Do not rely on the pendulum to make decisions for you because it cannot do it.  We may be drawn to specific pendulums because of the different personalities but it is the function that is important not the pendulum itself.  We must keep in mind at all times that the pendulum does not have a mind of its own and would not work without us, so how could it possibly be the pendulum that is answering the questions.  Everything comes down to choice.  Some people may prefer to cleanse their crystal on a regular basis and allow other people to touch their pendulum and others may just choose to only cleanse their crystal once and never allow anyone else to use it, there is no hard or fast rule about this.  For example, when we eat we choose to use a knife and a fork, we can borrow them, they can even be made from plastic but they will still work the same way.  The knife and the fork does not make the decision and we should try and remember this when we are dowsing.  The pendulums cannot make decisions.

You also have the pineal glands which is often called the third eye.  We use our third eye all the time this is where we see pictures with our eyes closed.  When we remember something the brain constructs a picture of it which we see in our third eye.  So we could close our eyes and picture things, so in this way we are using dowsing.

Acupuncture points and meridians are also involved in dowsing.  Electrical stimulation of the acupuncture points will affect the whole nervous system, not just isolated parts.  These acupuncture points can possibly sense changes in the environment which makes them active sensors.

The Brain is another very powerful dowsing tool.

Because the human body is made up of water and that water conducts vibration very well.  It is believed that if you drink lots of water it increases the body’s ability to dowse really well, it also works the opposite way, if you do not drink  lots of water but drink lots of tea and coffee, it dampens your ability to dowse.  Every part of the human body has the ability to receive and broadcast information, meaning every part of the human body is able to dowse.

Wear this stone around your neck or place it on your third eye for healing.

Many people believe that salt is a cleanser. You can use salt to cleanse your crystals by immersing it in salt and leaving it for 24 hours. Do not use this method with mounted stones.

A fast method (and one which I personally use) is to place the crystal(s) in a shallow bowl, china is best but not metal and leave under running water (under a tap) for two to three hours.

You should also programme a crystal before it is used. One way of doing this, and again it is the method I use, is to hold the crystal in your left hand and just ask that the crystal be programmed for healing or whatever else you need it to do. You could also hold the crystal over your heart and ask that it be programmed with love to help and to heal.

This is a very romantic stone. Place one by your bed and in the relationship corner of your room (the far right hand corner if you are standing with your back against the door. In an existing relationship this stone will restore trust and helps to encourage unconditional love.

This stone is great for healing the kidneys and adrenal glands. Wear this stone over the heart for love.

Amethyst is one of the most common and popular crystals. It is violet in colour and the colour can vary between being quite deep to quite light. This stone is very powerful and many people use amethyst to help them in many different aspects of their daily life. It has strong cleansing and healing powers and enhances spiritual awareness.

Amethyst can be used for protection against psychic attacks, it can help when you are meditating by holding the crystal in your hands or placing it on your third eye (the area between your eyes). If you hold an amethyst while meditating it will help to keep you focussed. This stone can help to alleviate grief, aids the stimulation of the third eye, helps with headaches and migraines. It can be placed on the stomach to help sooth stomach and gall bladder problems.

You can wear an amethyst, carry one around with you or place it strategically either around your home or even on your desk at work.

Place an amethyst under your pillow to help to calm down nightmares, help to prevent insomnia, and it can also help you to remember your dreams. While awake it can help to reduce anger and impatience

It is a very soothing and relaxing stone which is why many people use it for healing, or just from the comfort they get by having this stone around them.
