that sounds lovely! i love opals, especially fire opals, just stunning. Stormsong Manor said: I like gems. My one request for an engagement ring was that it would be a fiery white opal instead of a diamond. My wedding band ended up being opals too.

ooh, good luck! i have a hagstone, its very cool! keep your eyes peeled for agate too, that can appear on beaches! Mediterranean said: I'm heading to the beach tomorrow to hunt for a hag stone. Hagstones have a lot of cool folklore and superstitions surrounding them. Fingers crossed I find a nice one

I have a huge collection of crystals. My best friend and roommate thinks I'm nuts. But with what I've been through in life I find the crystals helpful. And yes I am into the metapyshics of crystals. I have so many favorites, but I have a really cool deep deep red orange carnielian pendant that I constantly wear. Everyone loves it and asks me where I got it from.

Personally I haunt the local rock and new age shops in town. But you might want to look up the Citrine Circle on line. You may also be able to find some good things on Esty or Wish. But the best peice of advice I can give when it comes to crystals is to go to a store yourself and feel for a stone to call to you. That's how I found a very nice peice of smokey quarts that's about the size of my hand.

Not a problem. Citrine Circle is based out of the UK I think. They also have a a crystal guide on the google play store you can look up. I'm on their mailing list, and haven't bought anything from them yet since I can usually find what I need in town and I have friends in my home town that will pick things up from me that are down there that I can't find where I live now lol. When I first moved to my new town and went into the rock shop I found a beautiful piece of golden healer quarts both in raw form and tumbled. Needless to say I picked up both.

Oh nice. I prefer natural stones to heat treated (amythist heated to make it look like citrine or citrine heated to make it look darker) or man madestone (goldstone and opalite are two examples of manmade stones). I'm not saying those are bad stones, but I'm not drawn to them like I am natural stones lol. And the only aura quartz (which are treated with heat and other things, can't remember right off the top of my head what they are) I've ever been drawn to is the aqua-aura (the really beautiful blue ones), but the sunset, pink, orange, green, and other treated aura quartz I've never been strongly drawn to.

I love crystals and gems! My favourite is defiantly labradorite, as it has so many flashy colours in the sunlight. I personally prefer untumbled crystals but I think some look better tumbled!
